He Chose the So-Called Sister Chapter 414: Unexpected Reunion in Keiperian
This girl alone showed no fear at all—quite the opposite, she looked thrilled.
The way she threw herself at him was clearly not the first time. For Lucas to let someone embrace him so freely was nothing short of a miracle.
At least that was what all his business partners had always said.
Anyone who didn't know him well would quickly change their mind once they saw his expression.
No one dared to cross him.
Even the most oblivious person could tell that touching him uninvited was a death wish.
Yet Lucas' attitude remained unchanged, and this girl didn't care one bit. They seemed extremely familiar with each other.
But just a few feet before she could reach him, the lovely young woman was suddenly pulled back.
Standing behind her was an even more stunning beauty.
Julia never stopped bragging about how beautiful she was.
She was, to be fair.
She even had a bit of clout in the entertainment industry.
But when compared to this woman, Julia's lifelong pursuit of that soft, alluring innocence felt hollow. This woman embodied it perfectly.
Even Anne, who outwardly fit that image more than anyone, lacked the grace. Her behavior was petty and calculating, more like someone working in the sex industry.
Temperament mattered more than looks.
Many had beauty. Many had grace. But few possessed both at the highest level.
This woman was flawless in every way. Her skin was delicate, without a single scar or blemish.
Even the smallest marks, like calluses on fingers from writing, were absent. Most people bore traces of daily life somewhere on their bodies.
But she was perfect, her fingertips soft, her skin as smooth as a baby's. Her face was delicately small, with striking, bold features.
Her big, tender eyes stopped breath altogether with just one glance.
"Ivy, stop it."
"Selena, let go! I haven't seen Lucas in ages—I missed him like crazy!"
Selena Cross' voice matched her looks: beautiful yet firm, her curvy figure elegant and refined. "You sure you want me to let go?
"You sure you'd even reach him if I did?"
Two sharp questions.
Ivy immediately backed down.
Then she grinned playfully, "You never know. Maybe he's changed after all this time. He used to be just a little scrawny kid, but now look at him..."
She snickered and glanced suggestively at Lucas, her expression utterly mischievous. It was hard to believe such a cute girl could look so cheeky.
"Such a mature, attractive man."
She made another move to hug him.
What if there was that one percent chance?
But she was pulled back again—this time by a handsome mixed-race man.
Ivy blushed bright red and clung to him immediately. "Leo, you're still the most handsome!"
She nuzzled his chest repeatedly, making the mixed-race man flush.
"Can you two behave? Lucas brought a friend with him," Selena said, turning to greet Sherry warmly. "Hello, my name is Selena Cross. And you are?"
"I'm Sherry Campbell. I'm from Seaseat City."
At that, their expressions shifted slightly.
Ivy pulled away from Leo's chest. "Seaseat City? So Seaseat and King City really started working together. I never thought it would happen. Lucas always was ahead of his time."
Leo said, "Lucas has always had good sense."
His tone and manner reminded Sherry strongly of Tony. His voice was even sweeter than Ivy's.
Ivy's face fell instantly. "I told you not to talk when I'm hugging you!"
Leo looked shocked. "Babe, why are you mad?"
Ivy huffed, "There are only two top guys in our circle. One is Lucas, who clearly doesn't like anyone. The other is you!
"And you don't even like girls!"
Sherry's gut had been spot-on.
"Ms. Campbell, pay no attention to them," Selena said, reaching for the large suitcase. "Why don't you go inside and rest?
"I'll handle the luggage. I know how much you hate getting dirty, Lucas. You never carry things yourself. This case has dust on it; let me clean it for you."
Lucas didn't hand it over. "It's fine. I'll take care of it."
"Lucas, you've changed!" Ivy said, pinching her chin. "Before, you'd hire people just to avoid touching dusty bags. You even lost plenty of luggage that way. Something's definitely off."
