A Love Trap novel Chapter 67

The young men mentally scanned through all the information in their minds about the prestigious families of J City but nobody could recollect the Mu family.

If the Mus found out that their reputation in society was so dismal, they would be chagrined.

But in reality, the wealth and position of the Mu family could only be categorized as third-class, which meant it was inferior even to the second-class families to which these young men belonged. Naturally, this group didn't know this family at all.

"The Mu family? It seems that this family doesn't exist in J City," replied Beck Chen, who seemed to be the leader of this gang.

His confused expression told Greyson he had never heard of this family.

The others also nodded in affirmation, "Yes, Greyson. There is no family whose last name is Mu in J City. Have you got the name wrong?"

Greyson had enlisted the help of these young prodigal men to learn about the Mus. Although they had never worked a day in their lives, their family business would be handed to them on a platter by their parents.

As they belonged to the same strata, they knew more inside secrets and gossip than those working within the organizations.

They seemed to be carefree about everything, except their inheritance. They would not stand to be substituted by other successors, not even those from their own family.

Most of these spoiled brats were not as innocent as they seemed. Nobody knew what was going on in their heads.

When Greyson found out that they knew nothing about the Mu family, his face fell.

Greyson was disappointed because he assumed that these people would know more about J City's prestigious families than common people. He was certain he would get a satisfying answer from them. But he was wrong. Surprisingly, nobody here knew anything about that family. What infuriated him the most was that these impudent upstarts suspected that he got the name wrong! He was not a fool. The name was right! So how could this happen?

Just then, a man in the corner raised his hand slowly while the others were trying to solve this mystery.

Everyone immediately turned to him.

Being under the scrutiny of so many people made him nervous and his body let out an involuntary shudder. Finally mustering up the courage, he said, "I might know something about the Mu family."

Everyone looked at him with curious eyes. This man had the lowest position in this group and was seldom noticed by others, so when he suddenly spoke up, they were stunned.

Greyson didn't pay heed to the group's hostile vibe and walked up to the man. "Do you know the Mu family?" he enquired.

Standing before the young man, Greyson, a big built man, shadowed the meek, young man. He glared down at him in an attempt to browbeat the young lad.

Alvin knew this was his only chance, so despite feeling intimidated, he seized the opportunity.

His fellow group members were scowling at him. This loser got Greyson's attention and they were jealous of him.

The group ignored him due to his family's inferior background. They only kowtowed to those who hailed from prestigious families. It had always been like this. Although he was with them everyday, he was always the one to be bullied.

All of them were vying for Greyson's attention due to his unusual position. If they could be friends with this influential man, their family and companies would gain more respect from the others.

However, this opportunity had been snatched by Alvin, who was a nobody. This made all of them angry.
