The Billionaire's Accidental Bride (Emma and Eric) novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96

I scolded Gwendolyn eight hundred times in my heart. I did not dare to see the change in Lukas’s

expression now, and looked at James.

Although I was on Lukas’s side, it was impossible for me to let James down in front of so many

people.

I took a deep breath and said calmly, “Mr. King, I think you misunderstood. I am not familiar with

Mr. King, but I don’t think playing a game with you would belittle me. After all, we played before,

didn’t we?”

James’s expression brightened when he heard this.

Lukas’s eyes flashed. Thinking of my demeanor in the video, his eyes could not help but stay on me

for two seconds.

He did not expect that these two seconds would make Gwendolyn go crazy with jealousy.

She immediately retorted, “It’s just playing billiards. My cousin is giving you face by playing with

you. Don’t think too highly of yourself.‘

I looked at Gwendolyn indifferently: “I’m a human, not things to be compared.”

Gwendolyn was anxious: “You’re insulting me by calling me a thing!”

I asked innocently, “Aren’t you a thing?”

Gwendolyn’s rationality was gone: “Of course I’m not a thing”

After speaking, she belatedly realized her words and blushed, hating that she couldn’t tear me apart.

but because Lukas was by my side, she did not want to act like a shrew.

She glared at me and said, “Do you think it’s amazing that you can play billiards? I can too.”

Looking at this farce, Elias couldn’t help but sneer and said sarcastically, “Silly, it’s not difficult to

play billiards; it’s rare to be extremely skilled.”

Anyone who had watched the video and the scene of me playing pool would naturally understand what Elias meant.

here were plenty of women who could play billiards, but few could do it with such elegance and

end a game with a single shot.

Gwendolyn never thought that Elias, who was standing beside Lukas, would scold her.

Her face turned red, but she did not dare to curse back.

I saw the guests who had finished eating and stopped not far away to watch the play. I frowned and said to Cole, “Director Hopkins, I’m a little sleepy. I have to go to work tomorrow. I’m leaving first.”

Cole nodded.

I pulled Ava out.

Chapter 96

After James beat Gwendolyn, he did not look at Lukas, but towards me. “Sophia, I apologize. My cousin is ill–disciplined. I hope you are not angered.”

James never thought of giving Lukas an answer, but he had to give me an answer.

He didn’t want anyone to do something to me.

I was still a little shocked. James had still looked for me before to find an explanation for Gwendolyn.

I never thought that James would slap Gwendolyn in public.

I looked a little confused, and finally shook my head helplessly: “No need, I’m not angry, I’ll leave

first.”

After I finished, I dragged Ava and quickly left.

Gwendolyn stared fiercely at my back, her eyes hiding deep resentment.

Olivia raised her eyebrows and looked at Gwendolyn. There was a dark light in her eyes.

Cole looked at James deeply and quickly left with everyone in the design department.

When Lukas saw everyone leave, he snorted coldly and suddenly let go of Gwendolyn’s billiard cue.

Gwendolyn clutched at the cue, but when Lukas let go, she took a step back.

I had already walked out of the Moonlight Pavilion.

Lukas walked over to pay the bill. James stared at his back gloomily. His voice was unclear: “Lukas, Sophia is different from Emily. Don’t think of her as a bargaining chip.”
