    Chapter 222


    It turns out what Aria thought was discreet had been so tantly and simply exposed by him.


    “Do you know why I didn’t reveal it earlier? Because it didn’t bother me much. You were so eager to act


    in front of me, so I thought I should let you earn some hard-earned money, right?” he said casually.


    She looked stunned, and her face turned red. It felt as if someone had pped her face several times.


    It was both hurtful and embarrassing.


    “However, some people go overboard with their acting, thinking too highly of themselves,” Luca s’s


    expression darkened as he took the expensive watch off Aria’s wrist and yed with it. “I can bring you


    up, but it doesn’t mean you can act recklessly. Otherwise, I can lift you as high as I want and make you


    fall just as miserably.”


    As he finished speaking, he released his grip, and the watch fell heavily to the ground, forming fine cra


    cks on its surface.

    Aria gasped and tensed, clearly frightened by the man’s words and actions


    “Also, you don’t need to attend tonight’s banquet,” Lucas said, walking out of the lounge without giving


    Aria a chance to defend herself!


    Aria looked panicked as she stared at the watch on the ground. It was worth over two million! It was the


    first time in her life she had wom such an expensive watch. But he had just thrown it like that! Was he


    trying to tell her that he could treat her the same anytime he felt like it?


    Even if people praised her to the skies, Lucas could easily just brush her aside without care!


    Aria clenched her hands tightly at her sides, channeling all her anger toward Serenity


    Tonight’s banquet was a gathering of the elite in Sria. She had been looking forward to it for a long


    time, even especially having a dress flown in from France to amaze everyone and boost her reputation.


    It was also supposed to help herwork and establish connections with various influential figures.


    But all of it was useless now. Because of Serenity, she couldn’t attend the banquet tonight!


    She would definitely make Serenity pay for this!


    The banquet of the city’s top elites naturally attracted reporters. However, such an event wasn’t


    essible to just any reporter. Many of them had to gather and wait at the entrance in hopes of


    capturing some valuable footage.


    One by one, luxury cars pulled up at the entrance of the banquet venue, and the people that stepped


    out of those cars were all influential figures from various sectors of the city.


    Suddenly, a ck Bentley rolled to a stop at the venue’s entrance. Experienced reporters, upon seeing


    the license te, knew exactly who had arrived and thus set down their cameras and video recorders.


    After all, this person never liked being photographed by reporters. In the past, some ignorant reporters


    had managed to capture a frontal picture of this individual and had the audacity to post it online


    Needless to say, the photo had been swiftly deleted. Not only did that reporter lose their job, but they


    couldn’t even stay in the city anymore.


    A saying circted within the journalistmunity. “Don’t ever photograph Jackson unless it’s


    absolutely necessary. And even if you identally snap a picture, never publish or post it online. The


    bottom line is that you can capture his back view at most, and he likely won’t pursue it further.”


    The door of the Bentley opened, and a tall figure stepped out of the car.


    The crowd couldn’t help but be dazzled by the sight before them.
