hapter 137 James looked somewhat surprised and lightly chuckled , Skylar , why cant you even hold your chopsticks properly ? He took a spare pair of chopsticks and handed them to me .
I seemed a bit dazed and didnt take the chopsticks .
Ava saw that I was not myself and immediately spoke , Whether hes coming back or not , what does it have to do with us ? Cole looked at Ava , I remember you mentioned him when we were in college .
When Ava saw me take the chopsticks from Jamess hand , I lowered my head and ate silently .
Isnt he very famous when he was still in college ? She told Cole .
Ava , who had always been indifferent and reserved , was now quite emotional .
It was the first time Cole had seen her like this .
He couldnt help but smile , Ava , are you secretly in love with Luther Van Eimeren ? I was just joking , why are you so worked up ? Ava had been worried about me , eager to change the topic of Luther Van Eimeren .
But hearing Cole say this , she became genuinely emotional and blurted out , How could I possibly like him ? Her voice carried a hint of aggrieved anger .
Cole furrowed his brow , feeling somewhat helpless , If you dont like him , you dont like him .
Why are you so angry ? Ava looked at Cole , her eyes slightly reddened .
Cole didnt know that she liked him , yet he spoke like this .
She bit her lip .
Luther Van Eimeren is the heir of a rich family and already has a fiancee .
I dislike ambiguous feelings the most .
I wouldnt even think about someone like him .
She said .
Lukas heard this , raised an eyebrow , glanced at Ava , and then furrowed his brows slightly , but he didnt say anything .
Cole thought that Ava disliked being a third party , so she was emotional about it .
He quickly apologized , Sorry , I didnt think of that when I spoke .
Dont be angry .
Ava heard his words and instantly lost all her emotions , her voice turning gentle , Why would I be angry ? I knew that she was worried that I would be upset .
Otherwise , my chopsticks wouldnt have fallen to the ground just now .
However , I couldnt figure it out .
Luther Van Eimeren had been away for so many years .
Why did he come back precisely when I was almost forgetting about him ? I continued to eat silently without saying a word .
James , who had been talking earlier , eventually fell silent too when he saw the atmosphere .
In the middle of the meal , James received a phone call and left early .

Ava was extremely worried , Skylar , are you okay ? I shook my head , What , what could be wrong with me ? Ava looked concerned , Dont hide it from me .
I know you well , and I saw you drop the chopsticks earlier .
I tugged at my lips , I was just surprised at that time , that .
Ava pursed her lips , Its just that he mentioned coming back .
He hasnt returned yet , so dont let it affect you .
I glanced at Ava , Do you think Ill lose my con Ava was taken aback , I … I just hope you wont be affected by him .
I lowered my head to continue drawing my design sketches .
You can go back to work , dont worry .
If I could handle it when I was at school , then I could handle it now as well .
Ava still looked concerned , All right , if anything happens , remember to tell me .
I nodded .
In the afternoon , after I finished drawing the design sketches , I was about to ask Lukas when they should send the original manuscript to the competition judges .
Then , a message from Lukas came .
Come upstairs .
I took the original design draft and went to Lukass office .
As soon as I entered the office , Lukas handed me a bank transfer receipt .
Take a look at this .
I lowered my head and saw an English account name that transferred one million to Natalias account .
I looked up , Whose account is this ? Lukass expression was unclear as he stared directly at me .
James King .
I was taken aback and subconsciously shook my head in denial , It cant be him .
A hint of darkness flashed in Lukass eyes , Why are you so sure its not him just because he has been nice to you ? I shook my head , No , I just feel that , given Jamess personality , if he wanted to go against me , he would directly confront me , not act two faced .
Lukas sneered , I never expected that in your eyes , he is so noble .
I furrowed her brow , Mr.
Strakovski , Im only discussing this matter objectively .
Lukas coldly retorted , So you mean I am accusing him unfairly .
I felt somewhat helpless .
Mr.
Strakovski , we cant approach this problem with emotions .
Lukass expression turned a bit ugly , Are you suggesting that I am biased against him ? I didnt know why Lukas disliked James so much , even if they were adversaries , it shouldnt be to this extent .
84.2 % Chapter 137 1 explained , I dont mean that .
I just think that even if this Swiss account belongs to James , there must be some hidden meaning behind this matter .
Lukas also realized that he had been emotional earlier .
However , some things seemed to be out of his control .
His emotions seemed to follow the conversation involuntarily .
He looked at me with mixed feelings , Skylar , do you really believe in James like that ? I patiently continued to explain , Its not about believing in him ; its about believing in my own judgment .
I dont think James is foolish enough to leave such obvious evidence for us to investigate .
Besides , why would Natalia help him ? Lukas snorted softly , leaning back in his office chair , Natalias father is seriously ill and needs money for treatment .
Hearing this reason , my mouth moved , my expression somewhat complex .
Everyone has their own struggles in life .
I said , Even if Natalia has her reasons , it doesnt necessarily mean James did this .
Lukass gaze deepened , All right , I will continue the investigation .
Hopefully , he can live up to the trust you place in him .
I tightly pursed my lips without saying a word .
Lukas looked at me in this state and suddenly thought of my unusual reaction when he mentioned Luther Van Eimeren during lunch .
