Chapter 71 My countenance changed sully .
I had encountered scenes such as this several times in the past fluer years .
I couldnt help but said , Is it possible that you might have mistaken someone else f In a world where a three year absence ladnt yielded clues , locating an individual so effortlessly seemed improbable .
Ava remained steadfast , her determination etched onto her features .
No , Im absolutely certain I havent made an error this time .
Seeing that her attitude was so determined , I said , Then , perhaps its best if we step inside the bar and assess the situation more closely .
Within the bars inner sanctum , within a VIP enclave .
Eliass gaze settled on lukas , his lips curving into a playful smile .
So , Lukas , you remain impervious to Skylars charms , I see ? She strikes me as rather captivating A subtle ripple coursed through Lakass brows .
This was the third time he had been asked .
He was a little upset .
Have you met her ? Eliass grin deepened Indeed , I chanced upon her online .
Though the image wasnt unequivocally clear , drawing from my decades long study of women , Id venture to say shes a striking beauty .
Lukas cast a chilly glance at him , unwilling to entertain such meaningless words .
Drawing nearer , Eliass tone adopted an almost conspiratorial inflection .
Come on , Lukas , you cant genuinely claim immunity to allure .
Ive observed your concerted efforts whether facing down Trifleming Jewelry and their involvement in the official Starlight Jewelry competition or managing her notably dramatic sister .
You even enlisted Strakovski jewelrys legal prowess to aid her in the lawsuit .
Its not exactly characteristic of your usual style , Lukas gazed at him reluctantly .
Her design aptitude is what captivates me , and its her creative prowess that has drawn my attention .
My actions were simply aimed at lightening her predicaments , allowing her the liberty to immerse herself in her arustic pursuits .
Unlike you , Im not easily swayed by appearances Eliass retort bore a faint tint of contention .
Youre oversimplifying .
Lukas .
Its not about being easily swayed .
Rather , its my discerning eye for beauty Lukass lips curved into a sardonic smile .
He sipped his drink Meanwhile , within the bars bustling expanse , I and Ava navigated the surroundings , our search inducing a sense of disoriented curiosity .
I said , Ava , lets divide and search .
Ill cover this area , and you will explore the other side .
In case we dont locate Cole , we can meet up at the VIP rooms and exchange any findings .
Avas face was etched with tension .
She nodded briskly .
Simultaneously , within Lukass designated VIP enclave .
Cole swung the door open , revealing two figures nestled on the couch .
He greeted with respect , Mr Strakovski .
Chapter 71 Lukas arched his brow and cast a glance at him .
Just back from a flight ? Cole shook his head .
I took a detour home first .
I received word that you were seeking me , so I traveled here directly from there .
T brought along the investigation report .
Feel free to peruse it In the jewelry market of Mediopolis , the position of Strakovski Group remains unchallenged , with little room for further ascension Therefore , Laikas has dispatched Cole to investigate the jewelry market in another region .
Turning the pages methodically , Lukas absorbed the content before addressing Coles stance .
Take a seat .
We can delve into the details after .
Cole shook his head , Thank you Mr Strakovski .
I just disembarked from the flight and felt somewhat exhausted .
Ill be passing on alcohol tonight .
I still have work tomorrow .
Lukass pause lingered briefly .
Then going home and resting .
Should you need it , taking the day off tomorrow is certainly an option .
Coles appreciation resonated with a prompt response , I appreciate your understanding , Mr Strakovski .
Emerging from the VIP haven , Coles exit was seamless , veering toward the establishments back exit a covert passage familiar to the regular patrons .
Meanwhile , I and Ava wandered around the e hall in 1 in a circle , yet we couldnt find Cole .
To be honest , I didnt want to disappoint Ava I didnt have high hopes .
After all , Cole had disappeared so completely in the past .
All our classmates and friends had lost contact with him .
After searching for him for three years , the chance of accidentally humping into him on the street was really slim However , seeing Ava , who was usually calm , looking so upset and anxions , I also felt a twinge of sympathy .
How about this ? Well check the private rooms .
Well knock on the door , and if hes not there , we can just say we got the wrong room .
That way we will n offend anyone easily .
Avas eyes were slightly red , but she obediently n After graduating , Ava had been working social matters .
nodded .

So , she wasnt really well versed in I had already pushed open four or five private room doors before Ava found two .
Just as I pashed open another door , I saw a group of men and women inside , causing me to furrow my brows .
I realized the person I was looking for wasnt there .
I gave a slight nod of apology .
Sorry , I got the wrong room ! As soon as I finished speaking , there was a commotion from inside .
Oh , since the beauty is here , why not come in and have some fun ? Beauty , youre not mistaken .
Now that youve opened our door , youre in the right room! My complexion changed slightly , looking a bit uneasy .
Tm really sorry ! After saying that , I was about to close the door and leave .
However , just as I turned around , I bumped directly into a solid chest Chapter 72 Chapter 72
