Lukas’s pupils slightly contracted as he turned away from the approaching figure, but he could guess the person’s identity, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Reese’s expression did not look better.
When James shouted, everyone looked at her. She was annoyed and embarrassed, and wanted to kick James away.
James could not see anyone else in his eyes. His purple earrings seemed to be flashing arrogantly as he walked.
He walked straight towards Reese’s side.
The billiards room on the attic of Butterfly Pavilion was directly connected to the garage.
However, when they left to go somewhere else to continue having fun, he couldn’t help but think of Reese’s appearance of playing billiards.
Unexpectedly, he was lucky and came in time to see Reese.
He walked towards Reese without looking sideways.
Cole pulled Victoria’s hand away from his arm and subconsciously stood in front of Reese.
However, James didn’t look at him at all. His eyes fell on Reese who was behind Cole, and his lips hooked, “Reese, I thought you left already.”
Reese felt countless gazes falling on her. She couldn’t help but frown, but she replied politely and
alienated, “Mr. King, we are leaving soon.”
James did not care: “What a coincidence, I have to leave too. Where are you going? I’ll send you off.”
Reese frowned and refused: “Thank you, Mr. King, for your kindness, but you don’t need to accompany
me.”
Everyone present had different thoughts.
Nobody was blind; Lukas face visibly darkened when James approached.
James simply ignored Lukas.
The two of them had always been enemies, but now with the three sides were facing off against each

other, James could only see Reese. It was obvious that he was provoking Lukas.
When James heard Reese’s words, he’s expression changed, instead, he smiled condescendingly: “No need to accompany you, that’s fine. Next time, let’s play together.”
Reese didn’t expect that James would be so difficult to deal with. Couldn’t he see that she didn’t want to
get involved too much with him?
Her face turned cold. “Mr. King, I’m sorry. I don’t like to play with people I don’t know well.”
James’s eyes sank slightly, and then he raised his eyebrows and laughed, “So, I’m not even considered a familiar person in your heart?”
At this moment, Lukas, who had been silent the whole time, frowned and said solemnly, “James, enough
is enough.”
James turned around and sneered, “I’m challenging Reese to a game, not your wife. It’s none of your
business.”
When Elias heard this, a playful light flashed in his eyes. He hooked his lips playfully and looked at Reese.
She felt a bit awkward as she was, in name, really Lukas’s wife.
Lukas was overbearing, and he probably wouldn’t like her getting too close James, let alone inviting her
to play a game..
Reese subtly glanced at Lukas.
Lukas’s expression became even colder at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
He glanced at Reese, who immediately lowered her head.
He looked at James coldly again: “James, people need to be self–aware.”
James’s expression changed, and his expression became cold and evil.
This was to say that Reese had just indicated she wasn’t familiar with him, so he had no self–awareness to
know when to back off.
He stared intently at Reese, his tone losing its previous casualness. “Reese, do you think I’m not familiar enough with you to challenge you to a game? Are you belittling me?”
Gwendolyn saw that Lukas and James were at odds with each other, and it seemed that they might fight at any time.
Although she was afraid of James, she did not want him to face off against Lukas.

She glared at Reese fiercely, and quickly pulled on James’s arm: “Cousin, don’t quarrel with Lukas, that’s not what he meant.”
After she said that, she secretly glanced at Lukas with her admiration and obsession.
Lukas did not even look at her.
James sneered, “Why are you still looking at him after so many years? You’re not blind, right? He doesn’t take you seriously at all.”
Gwendolyn’s face was a little ugly: “Cousin!”
Reese was a little surprised. Hearing James’s words and Gwendolyn’s tone, and looking at her gaze towards Lukas, these people seemed to be familiar with each other, and they seemed to have known each other for many years.
Reese blinked, but did not say anything, trying to reduce her sense of existence.
It was a pity that James, who did not want to cause trouble for her at first, was provoked by Gwendolyn
and had to fight her.
He looked at Reese fixedly, and his tone was no longer as condescending as before: “Reese, are you not
familiar with me? You think I don’t have the self–knowledge. It’s very expensive to make an appointment
with me.”
