Chapter 72
Just as James was about to enter the elevator, he caught a glimpse of my delicate face. He smirked, turned around, and blocked my path. “Well, well, isn’t this Sister Sophia? Do you
still recognize me, your big brother?”
I raised my head and immediately noticed the purple earring on James’s left ear, gleaming
gith arrogance, matching his overbearing presence.
This time, we weren’t in a bar, and I already knew his identity, so I wasn’t as afraid as
before.
I frowned, looking indifferent. “What do you want?”
James smirked, seemingly unbothered. “So you do know big brother. Since we’re acquainted, it wouldn’t hurt to exchange a few words, right?”
I felt repulsed. “I have nothing to tell you. Move aside. I have something to do.”
James’s eyes flickered as he remembered the incident at the bar a few days ago when Lukas took me away in front of him.
He playfully grabbed my arm, his tone leaving no room for refusal. “Come, I’ll take you to
meet someone.”
I struggled a couple of times but couldn’t break free. I was dragged along by James, heading towards the rooftop.
I gave up struggling altogether, curious to see what kind of scheme James was plotting in broad daylight.
The rooftop door was wide open, apparently left open by someone.
When James was on his way to Elias’s ward, he overheard Elías mentioning that Lukas had gone to answer a call.
Without much thought, he guessed that Lukas was here.
James had initially planned to take me and make a grand entrance in front of Lukas to

regain his lost face from a couple of days ago.
However, to his surprise, as soon as we reached the rooftop, we heard a woman’s voice, “Lukas, are you here?”
An intriguing spark flashed in James’s eyes. He quickly covered my mouth and hid me on the side of the rooftop, making sure I wouldn’t be seen from Lukas’s direction.
I felt speechless. I really didn’t have a hobby for eavesdropping
However, James firmly held onto my arm, and I couldn’t break free. All I could do was look utterly bored, leaning against the side of the rooftop.
Lukas’s cold voice came through, “What are you doing here?”
“I knew you were here when you went out to take the call. James came to trouble Elias just now,” the woman replied.
Lukas’s tone remained flat, “Is that so? What does it have to do with me?”
Curious, James secretly moved a bit to get a better view of the two people.
He saw Lukas and Elena facing away from us, talking towards the other side.
James used lip language to speak to me, “They have their backs to us. We can eavesdrop.”
I wasn’t as impolite as him and had no interest in listening in on their conversation.
However, James insisted on nudging my head to get a better view.
I didn’t want Lukas to discover my presence, so I had no choice but to go along with James.
When I noticed the candy wrapper at Lukas’s feet, I couldn’t help but curl my lips.
I knew Lukas didn’t smoke and might be trying to quit, often opting for a mint candy. But I couldn’t help but compare it to other men who looked sexy and troubled while smoking.
Unfortunately, at that moment, looking at Lukas’s mint candy wrapper, I found it inexplicably amusing.

On the other side, Elena realized that Lukas wasn’t interested with what she told him.
Summoning her courage, she took a gamble, “Lukas, I like you. I’ve liked you for a long
time,”
Lukas coldly glanced at her, “If that’s why you’re here, you can leave now.”
Elena refused to give up. Her tone was slightly anxious, “Now that Emily has left, are you still waiting for her? Are you really interested in that Sophia?”
Elena’s voice sounded rushed, and I didn’t catch the name properly, it seemed to be something like Emma,
Before I could think too much, Lukas’s indifferent voice came through, “Does it concern you, Elena? Know your place and don’t overstep your boundaries.”
Elena didn’t expect that, after summoning her courage, she would receive such a half–warning and heartless response.
She was unwilling to give up, “Lukas, I don’t ask for much. I just want to be with you.”
“Well, I don’t need it,” Lukas’s voice was icy.
Elena’s eyes turned red, “Why not? Is it wrong to have someone accompany you? Could it be that you’ve fallen for Sophia?”

Elena finished speaking and murmured in realization, “I see, you protect her so much. You must have feelings for her, right?”
Elena couldn’t hold back her anger, “That Sophia can’t do anything special. Whatever she can do, I can do it too.”
She had liked Lukas for so many years. Now that Emily had left, could it be that she had to be interrupted by other women?
I felt utterly baffled, feeling like I was being blamed for someone else’s fault.
James looked at me, unable to resist smirking.
I rolled my eyes in response.

On the other side, Lukas looked at Elena’s frustrated outburst and thought to himself “Sophia can give me peace of mind. Can you?”
Her talent in designing was pretty good as well, do you have it?
Nevertheless, he coldly said, “She’s different from you.”
Taking Elias’s face into consideration, he didn’t want Elena to feel too embarrassed
lena failed to grasp Lukas’s point.
Was it her turn now that Emily had left?
She always thought that with her relationship with Elias and Lukas, she was different
But reality dealt her a harsh blow, leaving her a bit agitated. “How is she different from mez Could it be that she’s better in bed than me?”
I felt utterly speechless. I really wanted to curse.
James was laughing so hard that his shoulders shook uncontrollably.
I had no intention of saying anything to him. However, he was laughing so hard that he couldn’t even make a sound.
Lukas’s ears caught the commotion from this side. His face turned cold, “Who’s there?
