The Wife He Dumped, The Queen She Returned As novel Chapter 345

Lucian snapped out of it and hurried after her. “Wait, Miss Reed...”

Chloe was walking so fast that he had to sigh, take a long stride forward with his long legs, and physically block her path.

“I'm sorry. I apologize for my previous prejudice. I was entirely in the wrong.”

Chloe stopped in her tracks. “I know it came from a place of concern, so I don't hold it against you. Quite the opposite, I really am grateful for your help.”

Lucian studied her face. “How exactly do you plan on finding John?”

Chloe stayed silent, unsure why he was suddenly so invested in her business.

Lucian pressed on. “Are you going to wander around asking random guests, or just roam the halls and rely on dumb luck?”

Chloe deflected. “Mr. Sylvain, I'm sure you have your own matters to attend to...”

Before she could finish her sentence, Lucian stepped closer.

“Are you absolutely sure you want to pass up the easiest and most efficient option?”

He gestured forward politely. “Come on. I'll help you find him.”

Caught off guard, Chloe didn't refuse the offer.

In an exclusive environment like this, blindly asking around was an incredibly foolish move.

And she had, admittedly, been relying entirely on dumb luck...

Lucian's reappearance in the main areas instantly drew widespread attention.

Several elite guests eagerly approached to greet him, their curious gazes naturally shifting to the stunning woman following behind him, their eyes full of speculation.

After all, aside from his sister Isabella, Lucian had never been seen at a social event with another woman.

Lucian asked casually, “Has anyone seen Asher Vane tonight?”

Someone immediately chimed in, “He's occupied in the private tea room over there.”

Lucian nodded his thanks and guided Chloe in that direction.

Chloe whispered, “Mr. Sylvain, the man I need to see is John, not Asher...”

Lucian replied smoothly, “Did you really do your homework on this John?”

His voice grew noticeably colder, revealing his deep distaste for the man.
