Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 414

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?"
