Chapter 89
I scolded Gwendolyn eight hundred times in my heart. I did not dare to see the change in
Lukas’s expression now, and looked at James.
Although I was on Lukas’s side, it was impossible for me to let James down in front of so many people.
I took a deep breath and said calmly, “Mr. King, I think you misunderstood. I am not familiar with Mr. King, but I don’t think playing a game with you would belittle me. After all, we played before, didn’t we?”
James’s expression brightened when he heard this.
Lukas’s
eyes flashed. Thinking of my demeanor in the video, his eyes could not help but stay on me for two seconds.
He did not expect that these two seconds would make Gwendolyn go crazy with jealousy.
She immediately retorted, “It’s just playing billiards. My cousin is giving you face by playing with you. Don’t think too highly of yourself.”
I looked at Gwendolyn indifferently: “I’m a human, not things to be compared.”
Gwendolyn was anxious: “You’re insulting me by calling me a thing!”
I asked innocently, “Aren’t you a thing?”
Gwendolyn’s rationality was gone: “Of course I’m not a thing”
After speaking, she belatedly realized her words and blushed, hating that she couldn’t tear me apart, but because Lukas was by my side, she did not want to act like a shrew.
She glared at me and said, “Do you think it’s amazing that you can play billiards? I can too.”
Looking at this farce, Elias couldn’t help but sneer and said sarcastically, “Silly, it’s not difficult to play billiards; it’s rare to be extremely skilled.”
Anyone who had watched the video and the scene of me playing pool would naturally

understand what Elias meant.
There were plenty of women who could play billiards, but few could do it with such
elegance and end a game with a single shot.
Gwendolyn never thought that Elias, who was standing beside Lukas, would scold her.
Her face turned red, but she did not dare to curse back.
saw the guests who had finished eating and stopped not far away to watch the play. I frowned and said to Cole, “Director Hopkins, I’m a little sleepy. I have to go to work
tomorrow. I’m leaving first.”
Cole nodded.
I pulled Ava out.
No one took the initiative to stop me.
However, Gwendolyn’s eyes flashed and she held her special pool cue.
She didn’t think that if she poked this, someone would do something to her.
As a result, just as her billiard cue was about to hit my body, a big hand grabbed her.
Before James could react, he saw Lukas grabbed the cue and looked at Gwendolyn gloomily.
My steps of leaving also stopped.
Lukas grabbed Gwendolyn’s billiard cue, but looked at James sarcastically: “Your King family’s methods are really inferior.”
Gwendolyn did not expect that Lukas would make a move. She was so frightened that she
did not dare to move.
James’s face became ashen when he saw the direction of Gwendolyn’s cue.
For a moment, he felt that he had lost all of his face to Gwendolyn.
Gwendolyn’s eyes widened and she looked at James in fear: “Cousin, I–I didn’t mean to-

As a result, before she could finish her words, James suddenly made a move. Everyone reacted. He had slapped Gwendolyn in the face.
Gwendolyn looked at James in disbelief and covered her face. She never thought that he would treat herself like this for an outsider.
At that moment, she looked at everyone’s ridiculing eyes and wanted to disappear.
After James beat Gwendolyn, he did not look at Lukas, but towards me. “Sophia, I apologize.
cousin is ill–disciplined. I hope you are not angered.”
James never thought of giving Lukas an answer, but he had to give me an answer.
He didn’t want anyone to do something to me.
I was still a little shocked. James had still looked for me before to find an explanation for
Gwendolyn.
I never thought that James would slap Gwendolyn in public.
I looked a little confused, and finally shook my head helplessly: “No need, I’m not angry, I’ll
leave first.”
After I finished, I dragged Ava and quickly left.
Gwendolyn stared fiercely at my back, her eyes hiding deep resentment.
Olivia raised her eyebrows and looked at Gwendolyn. There was a dark light in her eyes.
Cole looked at James deeply and quickly left with everyone in the design department.
When Lukas saw everyone leave, he snorted coldly and suddenly let go of Gwendolyn’s
billiard cue.
Gwendolyn clutched at the cue, but when Lukas let go, she took a step back.
I had already walked out of the Moonlight Pavilion.
انا
Lukas walked over to pay the bill. James stared at his back gloomily. His voice was unclear. “Lukas, Sophia is different from Emily. Don’t think of her as a bargaining chip.”
