Chapter 745 The Atmosphere Between Two Men Signals A Showdown
Everyone was gorgeously dressed in the banquet hall and the atmosphere was lively. When Luke andBianca suddenly appeared, there was a brief silence before an uproar followed. The noise almostdrowned out the music flowing in the luxurious hall.
The people at the banquet were all influential people. Even though there were many handsome menand beautiful women, none of them were as perfectly matched as the couple that just appeared. Thatwas because they were a rare sight to see, so the moment they appeared, they stole the hearts andbreaths of many people.
The man had short black hair and was wearing a clean white tuxedo with diamond-studded platinumcuffs, which was very exquisite.
In front of his slender neck, he also had a black silk bow tie that elongated his tall figure further. Helooked incredibly handsome.
The man in front of everyone made the ordinary tuxedo look even more elegant, especially with thoseenergetic eyes of his that were as deep as the sea and as cold as ice. His entire body gave off anoverbearing aura, like a king who did not allow any living things to get close to him. It made the peoplearound him subconsciously hold him with reverence.
As for the beautiful woman holding his arm, she was very attractive and had bright eyes. Her eyes werealso gentle and bright like a dewdrop on a delicate flower.
She was not dressed up too glamorously and just had a simple butterfly hairpin pulling her jet-blackhair up. She wore a white gossamer flowy dress that complemented her fair and tender skin, makingher shine like a beautiful crystal.
Every step Bianca took and every move of hers made her look like a fluttering butterfly. No one couldtake their eyes away from her.
The second floor.
Vincent's bright and warm eyes kept staring straight at Bianca who was holding Luke's hand with asomewhat hostile gaze.
'So you’re Luke Crawford, huh?'
He suddenly put his wine glass down and looked directly at Julie. He asked an unexpected question,"Julie, have you ever liked someone?"
Rose pink tinged Julie's fair skin. Her gaze at Vincent was full of infatuation and admiration. "Yeah, Ihave. It wasn't just a crush either. It was real, deep love. It was a love so deep that it went down to mybones.”
Vincent smiled. His smile was listless but charming. His casual posture was elegant, and he looked likea graceful nobleman. "Then can you tell me what deep love feels like?"
Julie spoke enthusiastically, "Loving someone means that they're the only one in your eyes. Nobodyelse can be compared to them. Your whole heart sinks for them and you'd miss them every second.You'd search for them everywhere you go, and when you see them, your heart will race. When youdon't see them, your insides will hurt. That feeling is both happy and sweet, but also full of sorrow."
When she said that, she stared deeply into Vincent's eyes and her eyes were a little teary.
Her entire heart was firmly tied to the man in front of her, but he did not know that. Perhaps, he hadalways known. After all, he was such a smart man. Why else would he waste his attention on a pawn?
Julie had never been a subtle woman and she always found a way to get whatever she wanted. Evenso, she did not dare tell Vincent her true feelings because she was afraid that it would affect theirrelationship.
When that happened, she would not even be qualified to stay by his side, so she would rather maintaintheir relationship where he used her and she was being used by him. She would not reveal the littlesecret at the bottom of her heart to him.
Vincent looked at the delicate and slender figure downstairs, his thin lips curling up elusively. "That'sright. Everytime I see her, I get this feeling you're talking about..."
The gentle smile on his handsome face was like sunshine. However, it was for another woman and itstung Julie's heart.
Julie bit her lip and said softly, "Vincent, can you... I'm not feeling well. Can you stay with me for amoment?"
Vincent's attitude was gentlemanly. He was like a gentle older brother comforting and doting on his littlesister. "Julie, my distinguished guests are here, so I need to go down to greet them first. You can comeover later. After all, they're also your 'friends'. Of course, if you're really not feeling well, you can rest fora bit upstairs."
Julie forced herself to hold back the discomfort she was feeling inside as well as the tears that wereabout to burst out of the corners of her eyes.
She nodded meekly and appeared reasonable, saying, 'TH go and rest for a bit first. I'll come downlater."
Vincent rubbed her soft hair, a small gesture he was used to doing. It made it seem as if they were veryclose to each other, and it made Julie's heart flutter.
The man straightened his suit, turned, and went downstairs without even glancing back at Julie. Eventhough she said that she was feeling sick, his footsteps were light and quick as he scurried down like abird flying away.
Julie touched the spot on her head with her fingers where he had just stroked. She forced herself tosuppress the tears that were rolling down her cheeks anyway, wetting her face despite her trying sohard to look unconcerned.

No one was going to take him away from her!
No one!
There was a gentle and perfect smile on Vincent's face as he walked past the chattering crowd to goover to Luke and Bianca.
He stared at Bianca's delicate face for a moment, but it was only to provoke Luke. After that, heextended his palm to Luke. "Mr. Crawford, nice to meet you!"
The unrivaled handsome man nodded slightly at him. Luke still looked as cold as ice and did not haveany intention to shake hands with Vincent. Luke's blatant rejection embarrassed Vincent a little.
Luke slightly narrowed his eyes, glanced at Vincent, and possessively took Bianca into his arms,showing his ownership.
Vincent, who coveted his wife, had been harboring ill thoughts toward Bianca, much to Luke'sdispleasure.
The moment the two men locked eyes, the air around them seemed to have frozen into ice.
The people around them could feel the tense atmosphere between them. Bianca was very unhappywith Vincent's blatant staring. That man was too clingy. During Luke's absence in the past two years,his pestering had almost made her insane.
That was why when Bianca saw Vincent, she naturally had a strong aversion to him in her heart.
When Vincent saw how timid and lovable she looked, he immediately lost his composure.
However, he had been an elite in the business circle for many years, so he was able to quickly get hisemotions in check. He secretly mocked himself. Even though he had long passed the age of havingpuppy love, every time he met this woman, he could never get his emotions under control.
Just as he was about to say something, Wayne's gruff voice suddenly rang out. "There you are,Vincent. I've been looking for you. Come on over here. I have something to discuss with you..."
When he saw Luke, he was obviously stunned. His fierce eyebrows furrowed heavily and a dangerousruthless look flashed across his eyes...
