Chapter 152



Connor offered a wry smile. "Mr. Lucas, you're both naive and overly confident. It was naive of you to have your relationship of twenty years so easily swayed by a few words from an outsider. Tell me, does that sound like a deep connection?

"But your confidence, I must admit, is something I envy. On what basis do you believe that when you decide to turn around, others should just be standing there waiting for you? Sometimes, once you miss out, all that follows is a lifetime of growing apart."

Connor's gaze was dark and tranquil, like the ocean under the night sky, but upon closer inspection, undercurrents were swirling as if ready to unleash a massive wave at any moment.

He paused, locking eyes with Lucas, his lips parting slightly. Every word he uttered was firm. "Besides, what makes you think she isn't indispensable to me?"

The summer evening breeze carried a stifling warmth. It felt like a pair of hands were strangling Lucas, the sensation of suffocation overwhelming him.

Meanwhile, Chloe followed Tara back to her room. In front of Chloe, Tara opened the safe and took out a small black velvet box. She approached Chloe and opened it. Inside was a rose quartz pendant. Surprisingly, it was an extremely rare rose quartz. Such jewels were not commonly found on the market. Even when available, most were not of high quality. This pendant was as clear as glass, with a faint pink hue. The quality was absolutely top-notch. It was carved into a lock, done in one breath, seamlessly elegant.
