Chapter 223 - Like a Celebrity
It was already past midnight, yet there were still plenty of people inside the campus of La Fernandia University. Most of them had gathered around the parking lot, as if they had turned the place into their regular hangout spot.The security officers had already given up trying to drive them away. The crowd was simply too stubborn, and no one seemed willing to leave.They were all waiting for the famous red sports car to arrive.Some whispered among themselves out of boredom, while others discussed a particular man who had been standing in the middle of the parking lot for quite some time, surrounded by his bodyguards and several other young masters.That man was none other than Lance.Upon learning that Luke had taken Kina out, he had immediately rushed to the university.His intentions were obvious from his dark expression, which looked even more gloomy beneath the dim light of the nearby lamppost.“This could be exciting. What do you think Lance will do to that guy?” someone whispe
Chapter 222 - Don’t Get Involve
Luke’s eyebrows drew together slightly as he leaned back, resting his weight against the sofa.“You said it yourself, Uncle. They gave up their position willingly, out of respect. If they really wanted to remain at the top forever, they shouldn’t have given it up in the first place. Now that my family is much more powerful than it was back then, why would they even think about going against the Cruise family? Just to gamble on the chance that they might win?”Damian didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he studied Luke for a moment, seemingly considering what he had said.Eventually, he replied, “The same thing could be said about the other families. If the Silverio family isn’t the threat to the Cruise family, then the other families have even more reason to think twice before going against your family, don’t you think?”He paused with a faint sigh before continuing.“Besides, this is only Lord Duncan’s suspicion. He still doesn’t have sol
Chapter 221 - Connecting The Dots III
Damian noticed Luke’s silence and the distant look in his eyes. He was clearly deep in thought.Damian let out a quiet sigh.“But you shouldn’t worry about it for now. It was only Lord Duncan’s suspicion. There are still other possibilities regarding what happened.”Luke looked at him but made no effort to respond.‘No. This could be the most likely answer.’His expression remained serious.Now that the pieces of what had been troubling him were slowly beginning to fall into place, it was becoming harder to ignore that possibility.Still, he needed to meet Jason Zheng first. Only then could he confirm whether his suspicion was correct.“Another thing is that the Zheng family is remaining neutral for now. They didn’t seem particularly bothered by the fact that someone was secretly attacking the Cruise family, even when Lord Duncan confronted them personally,” Damian added.Luke looked at Damian with slig
Chapter 220 - Connecting The Dots II
Damian looked at Luke with a brief hint of surprise before setting his cup down. He then clasped his hands together in front of him, resting his elbows against the armrests of the sofa.“Now that you’ve asked about them, that’s actually the reason I wanted to talk to you.”His expression became noticeably more serious as he looked at Luke.“Lord Duncan suspected that one of the Business Titans was behind the attempt to kidnap you, if that’s what you were implying with your question.”Luke’s eyes narrowed slightly.His uncle was right.That was exactly where their conversation was heading.Although he still had his suspicions about Zeo, he couldn’t ignore the fact that there had been other people at the celebration that night.There was a possibility that the moment Luke arrived, someone had already recognized him and quietly informed those armed men.Aside from Bernard and Natalia, Luke had no idea who
Chapter 219 - Connecting The Dots I
After dinner, Kina and Jackielyn left first with Natalia, while Luke returned to his uncle’s office as they had agreed.Damian gestured for him to sit on the sofa as soon as he entered. His eyebrows immediately rose when he noticed Luke’s expression.“Did... something happen? Why do you look like you’re not happy with how your date went?” he asked after noticing the deep sigh Luke let out as he sat down.Luke gave him a frown.“It was just dinner...” he corrected.Damian studied him strangely for a brief moment before sitting down as well.“Well, friend or not, why did you invite them to dinner here? I thought you were going to introduce one of them to me.” He chuckled. “Is it Ms. Kina?”Luke shot Damian a sharp look before leaning back against the soft sofa and resting his head against the backrest, looking as though completely exhausted.“Stop teasing me, Uncle. She’s already engaged.”Damian pursed h
Chapter 218 - The Man In Her Dreams
Luke froze after hearing what Kina said. His eyes went blank as he stared at her in stunned disbelief.What did she just say?‘She wants to be with me?’Did she just... confess?Kina wasn’t done talking yet, so she continued.“I know you only transferred to La Fernandia because of Grandpa. I knew you weren’t like those other scions. That’s why I never took the chance to talk to you. I was worried that if I did, you might reject me and then things would become awkward between us.”She paused for a brief moment and let out a faint sigh.“I was also worried that you might think I’m just another girl who fell for you because of your status. Besides, I’m already engaged. That would make things even more complicated and awkward if I told you how I feel.”She lowered her head again and stared at the table. The redness on her face still hadn’t faded.“I don’t know if you’re going to believe what I’m about to say, but there was a man I used to dream about almost every night. Until the night I
