Chapter 0100

Lucius unexpectedly ran into someone who seemed surprised by his early departure.

“Are you leaving already?” the stranger asked.

“Who might you be?” Lucius asked coldly.

He was struck by a sense of familiarity in the man’s eyes, usually a detail he would overlook in people he deemed unimportant.

“Hello, Patrick Wickham, and this is my daughter.” Patrick said, introducing himself and Emily, who was standing by his side.

Lucius realized why their eyes were familiar; they were identical to Violet’s, and that caused his expression to turn icy.

Patrick can’t help but shiver, sensing a coldness coming from Lucius, despite no known animosity or business connections between them.

“Mr. Davis.“Emily greeted, her eyes twinkling with delight.

Meeting such a top–tier tycoon would astonish anyone, even someone from a wealthy family like her.

Lucius’s gaze shifted to Emily, taking in her elegantly figure–hugging Chenette gown that accentuated her form, and her professionally done makeup.
