Ava belatedly realized that she shouldn't have brought up this topic in front of Cole. Her expression showed a hint of regret.

Reese didn't really mind and took the initiative to explain to Cole, "She's Luther's fiancée. We met a few times during college."

At the mention of Luther, Cole's gaze deepened, but he didn't inquire further.

However, another matter came to his mind, "Reese, the Menkerios Heart of the Sea Jewelry

Design Competition, we're leaving on Friday, right?"

Reese nodded, "Yes, is there a problem?"

Cole shook his head, "No problem, I just heard that Luther seems to have returned that day."

Reese's expression changed slightly, and she merely murmured, "Is that so?"

Seeing that Reese's mood was not good, Cole quickly changed the subject and talked about other things.

Throughout the evening gathering, Reese never approached Lukas.

Because that girl, Rose, was sitting next to Lukas the whole time, pouring him drinks and appearing exceptionally considerate.

Midway through the gathering, there were whispers in the villa's hall.

Unexpectedly, Rose, who seemed delicate and weak, was quite capable. She had managed to win over Lukas, a big shot.

In the morning, Reese had a call with Lukas and learned that the evening gathering was initiated by Elias. Before leaving, she went to greet Elias.

However, at that time, Elias was holding a young internet celebrity in his arms. When he saw Reese and the others approaching, he immediately let go and even cast a subconscious glance at Ava.

Reese didn't care much, and Ava didn't even notice Elias's actions. Her attention was focused on Cole.
