Chapter 338 Luke Humiliated Her In Public!
In the event hall.
"Cheers!" Three equally outstanding men with different appearances clinked their wine glasses together. They attracted the attention of many women around them.
It could be said that the three individuals amassed the wealth of the entire A City.
The first was Luke Crawford, the CEO of T Corporation, the second was Percy Mallory, CEO of Mallory Corporation, and the third was Jim Holston, the chairman of Holston Corporation. Not many people knew that the three people with different personalities were good friends in college.
The three of them have maintained a close relationship since then.
Luke's facial features were impeccable, and his temperament was calm and mature. His profound gaze was dangerous and penetrating, which caused men to tremble and women to be flustered. Even though the man was famous in the business circles inside and outside of the country, he had kept a clean-living image and was the top target of admiration for female socialites in A City.
Jim Holston was unbelievably handsome. He had mixed-blood features, and his amber-colored eyes were sparkling with intelligence, passion, and elegance.
Holston Corporation, his family business, was worth tens of billions. He was a shrewd person; he might seem kind and gentle, but everyone who knew him knew that he was very good at manipulating personal relationships and was the typical wolf in sheep's clothing.
He was a notorious womanizer and often appeared in the gossip section of many newspapers and magazines.
Jim had a five-year-old son, but no one knew who the mother was.
Even so, that could not stop many women from falling for him.
Percy Mallory's beauty was almost feminine. His skin was as fair as snow, which was a stark contrast to the sapphire ring that he wore on his thumb.
He was dressed in a black trenchcoat, which made him look elegant and dapper. He might be the CEO of Mallory Corporation on the surface, but no one knew that he was the mafia kingpin of A City, whose merciless ways made people tremble with fear.
Luke was chatting with the two other men, but his gaze occasionally glanced toward the observation deck...
Jim playfully punched Luke's shoulder. "I didn't expect that you're the first one to find a wife among us, Luke. Not bad, your wife is very beautiful."
Luke smiled bewitchingly. "You aren't too bad either. Your son is already five years old. I wonder who is his mother?"
Percy lifted his wine glass toward Jim. "I'm curious too."
Jim smirked when he saw his two best friends intending to find out his secrets. "Tsk, Percy, didn't you ask Luke when he had his twins too? Did he tell you the answer? He's been keeping the identity of the twins' birth mother as a secret from us, and we only know who she is very recently. Say, if you can't find out anything from him back then, what makes you think that you can find out anything from me? Would you believe it if I said that my son's mother is an otherworldly fairy?"
Percy rolled his eyes at Jim.
Luke smiled and took a sip of his wine but said nothing.
The three elite men started talking about business.
Leia walked toward them.
She was immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, and she knew how to behave in public.
Everywhere she went, she was like a brilliant lantern that attracted everyone's eyes.
"Luke...’
Leia swayed in front of the three people and grabbed onto Luke's arm as though she was very close to him.
Her eyes stared at him for a while, then turned to look at his two friends." Good evening, gentlemen. Are you Luke's friends?"
Percy and Jim looked at each other. Their eyes flashed with anticipation.
'Doesn't the woman know that Luke hated strangers touching him?'
Luke frowned sullenly.
He was disgusted by Leia touching him, or any stranger touching him for that matter. However, he did not wish to lose his temper in public, and he discreetly pulled his arm away.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Norman. I'm not fond of acquaintances touching me," he said impassively.
Leia looked at her arm and felt slightly awkward for a moment.
She maintained her smile, though she sounded aggrieved. "Luke..."
Jim observed the interaction curiously.
'Does Jack Norman's daughter have a crush on Luke?
'Doesn't she know that Luke has a pair of twins, and the identity of their birth mother is known?
'Doesn't she mind that she'll be a mother of two children if she married him?'
Jim knew how to alleviate the awkward situation. He stretched out his right hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Norman. I am Jim Holston, the person in charge of Holston Corporation. I've seen your movies before. I thought that you're already very beautiful on the silver screen, but I didn't expect that you look even more beautiful in real life. Are you old friends with our Luke?"
Leia naturally knew who Jim and Percy were. The two men might be extremely desirable bachelors, but one of them was a notorious playboy, and the other looked sinister. She was more fond of the virtuous Luke, who did not have any scandals.
However, she was nonetheless delighted when she heard Jim's praise.
She shook hands with Jim and said modestly, "You flatter me, Mr. Holston.
You are also a gentleman with an extraordinary bearing. Glad to be your acquaintance. I'm the spokesperson of a perfume brand under Luke's company, and I have some things to ask him." 1
Leia smiled shyly at Luke. Percy shot a glance at Luke; he did not know how to react to the woman's advances.
'Doesn't she know howto read the atmosphere? Can't she see that Luke's expression is icy now?
'How pretentious.' "I've told you before, Ms. Norman. Mr. Doyle is in charge of your collaboration with T Corporation. You can look for him if you need anything. " Luke was starting to look unhappy.
Leia had no retort to that.
She did not expect that Luke would humiliate her in public.
"Daddy..." Suddenly, a cheerful voice of a child could be heard. 1
Leia turned around and was surprised to see the voice belonged to the brat who had knocked into her earlier. The boy was happily holding Bianca's hand, and they were walking toward the group. Leia's eyes narrowed and flashed with malice...
