NovelAppChapter 122 Would Never Try to Be Brave “Thank you for what happened just now.” Suddenly, Emily
said to Lucas. Lucas smiled and said apologetically, “After all, this happened because of me. I should
be the one apologizing.” “I brought you here, but I didn‘t take good care of you. That‘s why this kind of
embarrassing thing happened.” “It has nothing to do with you,” Emily shook her head. Mia had come for
her in the first place, just to embarrass her. No matter who she came with, Mia would do this. Suddenly,
Lucas seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Is your foot okay?” “It‘s much better now,”
Emily nodded. “Just wait for me a little longer. The banquet is about to end,” Lucas said. Emily was not
in a hurry. She nodded and followed Lucas again, beginning to mingle with the crowd.
At this moment, Chase Smith came from not far away. She was holding a glass of champagne and was
about to greet Lucas. When she saw Emily beside her, she was stunned. Her hand holding the glass of
champagne tightened. Why is this woman here again? It was fine that she appeared at the company
last time, but she actually came to attend this kind of banquet. Lucas even brought her here. At this
moment, a few big question marks appeared in Chase Smith‘s mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe hid the on her face.
“Lucas!”
Lucas turned around and responded in a very cold tone.
Chase Smith smiled and did not feel embarrassed. She looked at Emily beside her and asked, “Lucas,
who is this young lady next to you? You haven‘t introduced her yet.” She smiled with a friendly and
harmless look. Lucas nodded and subconsciously looked at Emily. He said, “My plus one, Emily.”
“Hello,” Emily said with a smile. “Hello, Ms. Armstrong. My name is Chase Smith. You can call me
Chase,” Chase Smith replied. “Ms. Armstrong, have we met before?” Ms. Armstrong asked. Suddenly,
Chase Smith seemed to inadvertently bring up the topic. As she spoke, she glanced at Lucas out of the
corner of her eye, as if she wanted to see her reaction. “Yes, we met at the bookstore last time.” Emily
nodded. “No wonder! I didn‘t remember wrongly!” Chase Smith smiled. “Ms. Armstrong, the last time I
met your two children at the bookstore, they were really cute!”
Chase Smith seemed to be intentional, and when she spoke of the word children, her tone became
even heavier.
She guessed that Lucas definitely did not know about this matter. How could someone as proud as him
accept a woman who had two children? However, she did not expect that Lucas had a calm
expression. “Yes, they are very obedient.” Emily nodded indifferently. When the child was mentioned, a
smile unconsciously appeared on Emily‘s face. Chase Smith was even more astonished in her heart.
Why was there no reaction at all... Although she was puzzled in her heart, she still pretended to be
friendly. “Lucas, can I borrow your female companion to chat with me? You wouldn‘t mind, would you?”
After that, she ignored Lucas and pulled Emily over. She walked to the side and started chatting.
“Emily, you wouldn‘t mind me calling you that, right?” “I don‘t know why, but from the first time I saw you, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. This might be fate...”
Chase Smith said to Emily. That enthusiastic look also frightened Emily a little. She did not show any
emotion on her face and nodded with a smile. However, Emily did not know why, but she felt a little
strange. This woman‘s enthusiasm felt weird... Although she didn‘t have much contact with people,
Emily still had the most basic
judgment. No matter what Chase Smith said, Emily only responded simply and spoke very politely.
After seeing that she couldn‘t find anything, Chase Smith gave up. Later, because he could not escape,

quickly shook off Chase Smith and went up. “I‘m sorry, Miss Smith. I still have something to do. I‘ll go
first.” Then, she walked directly to Lucas‘ side, reached out, and grabbed his arm. She asked, “How are
you?” She looked at Lucas with worry in her eyes. Lucas chuckled and shook his head. “I‘m fine.” The
more the man said this, the more worried Emily became. She frowned, obviously somewhat in
disbelief.
Seeing Lucas raise his wine cup, someone came over to toast him.
Emily directly interrupted, only to see her raise her own wine cup and block in front of Lucas.
“Mr. Greens is not suitable for drinking these days. Let me do it.”
With that, he drank up the wine in one gulp. “Ms. Armstrong is really good at drinking!” “If you can‘t
drink it, please stop.” Lucas said.
“En, don‘t worry. I know what I‘m doing. I definitely won‘t force myself!” Emily nodded.
“Okay.” Lucas smiled.
