F1 Champion's Perfect Crash: When Love Takes The Final Turn novel Chapter 68

I followed Lukas with a flutter of nerves dancing in my stomach.

I had not expected to encounter Lukas' arch-nemesis so quickly and to be mistaken for his accomplice, used as a means of provocation against him.

Mediopolis knew Lukas as the undisputed king of the jewelry world, where his word held the weight of law within the industry.

However, his proper background remained shrouded in mystery. Six years ago, he emerged from obscurity, taking Strakovski Jewelry to unparalleled heights of success.

Those who dared to obstruct or offend him reportedly suffered unfortunate fates, adding to the aura of fear surrounding him.

Lukas in recent years, even if he is in big trouble, he can finally be safe, and later, some people say that the forces behind him are mysterious and powerful, and more and more people are afraid of him.

A tinkling laugh chimed, slicing through the tension. "Lukas, that was swift!"

"Doesn't take long to brush aside the irrelevant," Lukas's retort cut like ice.

I couldn't help but feel my lips twitch, but I refrained from saying anything.

Elias, head cocked, inspected me trailing in Lukas's wake, admiration evident in his eyes. "I see now why Lukas was in a hurry. Miss Lopez, you're a national treasure indeed."

I tugged at my lips slightly, revealing a touch of unnaturalness.

Just then, Ava whispered, "Thank you for helping us get Aurelia out. Can we leave now?"

"Ava!" I swiftly stepped out from behind Lukas.

Meeting her gaze, Ava's eyes revealed a mixture of emotions—complexity, grievances, and worries.

"Mr Strakovski, thank you for today!" I said as I approached Ava.

Lukas raised an eyebrow and glanced at me, his eyes flickering. "No need. James troubled you because of me in the first place."

I nodded, appreciating his understanding. "Then we'll leave first."

Third POV

Lukas saw the two women leave and turned back to his private room.

Elias hurriedly glanced at the departing Aurelia and Ava, then caught up with Lukas with a sense of resignation. "Lukas, wouldn't it have been courteous to invite them in for a moment?”

"No need." Lukas's voice remained frigid.

In Elias' heart, there is a slight fondness for Ava, who resembles a little white rabbit. She is a woman unlike any other, capable of capturing his interest with just a single glance!

He couldn't help but said, "You had a girlfriend before. Could you not extend a more gentlemanly invitation and offer them a ride home?"

Lukas cast a sidelong glance at Elias. "No ulterior motives towards her."

"Her?" Elias blinked in surprise.
