Chapter 73
After Lukas finished speaking, he walked towards the stairwell with a stern face.
Elena hurriedly followed behind.
I and James didn’t have time to go downstairs, so the four of us ended up facing each other.
James was laughing so hard that tears came to his eyes.
I felt the air was filled with awkwardness.
Lukas’s face showed a barely noticeable hint of embarrassment, and his handsome face
darkened.
Afraid he would lose his temper, I immediately pushed the blame on James. I just got back from buying dinner for Ava. James forced me to come up.”
I quickly added, “I didn’t hear anything.”
Upon hearing this, James burst into laughter.
He supported himself against the wall while covering his forehead. “Oh, I’m really sorry. just couldn’t help it. It’s too funny.”
I was speechless as I glared at the laughing idiot. Could he make his laughter any more exaggerated?
He continued, “I mean, what kind of script is this? Talking about bed skills? Hahaha.
E My face darkened. I had said I hadn’t heard anything, but James exposed my lie. He must have done it on purpose.
Sure enough, Lukas looked directly at me and gritted his teeth, “Didn’t hear anything?
I felt wronged, not knowing how to explain.
I sensed that Lukas might be getting annoyed and embarrassed. After all, no one had probably seen through his act like this before.
Chapter 73
At this moment, James was still acting recklessly, reaching out to put his arm around my shoulder, “Don’t be afraid, Sophia. Big brother is here to back you up.”
I reached to remove his hand, but James was like an octopus, taking it off only to put it back
again.
Lukas’s face turned extremely ugly, “Sophia, come here.”
I felt that Lukas was better and subconsciously moved towards him.
As a result, as soon as I took a step forward, James pulled me back.
James’s smile faded slightly, and he faced Lukas head–on, “Come on, Lukas, let it go. Sophia is such an innocent naive wife, and this is her first time seeing your true colors. She never expected you to be quite the Harem King. Now that she wants to leave the harem, why won’t you let her?”
After finishing his words, Lukas casually glanced at Elena next to him.
Lukas’s face turned cold as he looked at James, his eyes showing a trace of disgust. “This is between me and Sophia. James, don’t provoke me.”
James stepped forward directly, “I’m provoking you, so what?”
He turned to me and said, “Sophia, did you see that? That woman is another concubine in Lukas’s harem. There are plenty of other girls like her. Are you sure you still want to be
with him?”
I could clearly see that these two clearly had some grudges and were forcing me to pick
sides.
But I wasn’t foolish. Why did I have to choose sides?
James blocked my way, and I couldn’t get past him. I turned around and took a step back to go downstairs, “You guys enjoy yourselves. I’m going to deliver food to a friend.”
James was taken aback. He didn’t expect me to have this kind of reaction.
After hesitating for two seconds, he laughed, “Sophia is really clever. She knows how to take a step back and will definitely be successful in the future.”

I quickly went downstairs, completely ignoring the expressions of the these people thotars
With me gone, Lukas coldly snorted and ignored fames, walking downstairs
James raised his voice and shouted, “Lukas, you’re not good enough Sophia difunt crosse you either.*
Back in the hospital room, I handed the dinner to Ara.
ya was a bit surprised, “Why is the porridge color
My tone was not pleasant, “It’s good enough to have something to eat Don’t be so picky
Ava’s eyes flashed, “Who bothered you?”
With a tense expression, I recounted the incident on the rooftop.
My face didn’t look too good as I said, “Do you think James is crazy? I’ve only met him a fer times, but he always drags me into trouble.
Ava paused for two seconds before speaking, “I have heard something about this.”
I raised an eyebrow at her.
Ava continued, “I heard that Lukas and James had a good relationship six years ago, but they fell out because of a woman. James also liked that woman, but unfortunately, she became Lukas’s girlfriend later.”
I was taken aback, “Is that so? Where is that woman now?”
Ava shook her head, “I don’t know, I overheard it from someone else, and I never thought that one day I would meet them in person.”
I nodded in understanding
No wonder James was going against Lukas. It turned out that their rivalry went beyond business. There was also a complicated love–hate relationship between them.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw that only a floor lamp was turned on in the living room,
casting dim light.
Lukas lazily leaned on the sofa, his gaze heavy as he looked over.
