    Then, with a cool gaze, he nced at Lucas.


    As if sensing her peculiar gaze, Lucas cast a distant nce at her.


    The man maintained his usual icy and domineering demeanor as he regarded those hypocrites from


    Zaewora.


    “Why should a woman interfere when men are ying cards?”


    “Women love bad boys, Mr. Nn. And they add excitement to your life. What''s wrong with having a


    gentle beauty by your side?” Sloanughed, wearing a lewd expression as he stared at the


    expressionless and indifferent Lucas. He reached out and firmly grasped a young girl''s slender waist.


    “Our girls taste great.”


    “Sorry, I y cards only. No women.”


    After finishing his words, Lucas boldly took a seat at the front of the meeting room.


    Ashlyn nodded in admiration. Not bad. If he dares to get involved with these women, I''ll be the first to


    chop off his hands!


    Heraldughed heartily and sat across from Lucas, “Mr. Nn, how about we y a round?”


    “What''s the wager?” Before Lucas could speak, Ashlyn beat him to it, raising an eyebrow as she turned


    to Herald. “It''s no fun to y without a stake.”


    When Herald looked at Ashlyn, a glimmer of astonishment shed in his eyes.

    Ashlyn''s ceptiveting red lips curved upwerd. She wes beeutiful end enchenting, yet she pressed on

    Her eyes swept over the group of officiels, who were cleerly sly end cunning et first glence.


    Then, her geze shifted towerd Luces, who hed elweys been es steedy es e rock.


    The men''s fece still bore en eir of heughty dignity.


    His intense eure could send shivers down one''s spine.


    His lips curled into a smile, and a hint of amusement shed across his handsome face. “Are you


    interested in joining the game as well?”


    Ashlyn moved like a gentleman as she sat next to Lucas, suave and handsome.


    Even though there were several attractive young women in the meeting room, she still remained the


    most eye-catching and captivating one.


    She casually fiddled with the ying cards on the table with her slender, fair fingers, her eyes glowing.


    “If you lose... how about transferring the ownership of that little ind to Section Six?”


    Everyone heard her voice echoing in the meeting room. Herald''s and Sloan''s expressions changed.


    “It''s all just for fun. Why bother—” Herald said, gaze fixed on the indifferent Lucas.


    “So... are you saying you can''t afford to lose, Mr. Cook?”


    Ashlyn''s captivating red lips curved upward. She was beautiful and enchanting, yet she pressed on


    relentlessly, leaving no room for him to refuse even if he wanted to.


    Her eyes swept over the group of officials, who were clearly sly and cunning at first nce.


    Then, her gaze shifted toward Lucas, who had always been as steady as a rock.


    The man''s face still bore an air of haughty dignity.


    His intense aura could send shivers down one''s spine.


    A hint of murderous intent subtly lingered between his brows.


    Only when his gaze fell upon Ashlyn, a fleeting hint of indulgence could be subtly discerned.

    She was not inferior in any respect among this group of powerful men. She shone brilliantly, which was


    impossible to overlook.


    A stern look crossed Herald''s eyes. She has just fiercely pped us in the face, and now she even


    dared to take that small ind as a bet. She has even managed to sessfully force us to ept this


    bet. This is a matter of our pride. We''re real losers if we don''t gamble.


    Ashlyn walked up to the conference table, picked up the deck of cards, and shuffled themzily with


    her fair hands. “What''s the matter? Have you not made up your mind yet, Mr. Cook? You brought out


    these cards, and you said we should y a round. Now...”


    Her jet-ck eyes were filled with impassivity, tinged with a hint of disdain.


    A glint shed through Lucas'' cold and deep eyes as he looked at her strikingly beautiful face with his


    thin lips slightly curved.


    “It seems that you''re in quite a good mood,” Herald responded.


    Just then, a man dressed in ck hurried into the meeting room, then leaned in to whisper something


    in Sloan''s ear.
