Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The Uninvited Confrontation (1)

Luxurious environments like this, Lucien was not unfamiliar with at all. After all, he was also a young master who had been pampered while growing up. And Lucien Sinclair of this world was probably not unfamiliar with them either, because before his mother passed away, he had also been a beloved young master.

Therefore, he very naturally sat down on the chair. He just did not expect that before he could even warm his seat, several men in luxurious suits had already walked over to greet them.

Lucien looked at them circling around Dominic Vance and understood. They were probably business partners or people who wanted to surround this man. So Lucien immediately lowered his head and obediently played the role of a little lover.

Ah, "little lover" was a title Lucien had given himself. For now, he still did not know what he was to Dominic Vance. Someone who got into bed without any status, calling himself a little lover probably was not wrong either.

But a little lover should not interfere in matters surrounding the person who kept him, right? So Lucien learned from the movies he often watched. He quietly lowered his head and stood up from the table, intending to move somewhere else.

Who would have thought that as soon as Lucien stood up, Dominic Vance grabbed his hand and pulled him back. The man even pulled out the chair beside him and pressed Lucien down to sit firmly on it.

"Look. Order whatever you like to eat."

Dominic Vance handed him the menu before turning to talk with the group. A middle-aged partner whose hair had started to gray looked at Lucien curiously and smiled as he asked, "President Dominic, aren’t you going to introduce him to us?"

He also knew that Dominic Vance had a fiancé, but because he had been abroad recently, he had not attended that banquet. So he still thought that the person sitting next to Dominic Vance was his fiancé.

The people beside him nudged the man. Had this old fellow’s internet been cut off after going abroad? He did not even bother paying attention to domestic news.

Dominic Vance did not think much about it and simply replied, "Member of family."

The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, thinking that he now understood, just as he had guessed. The others who knew the truth silently calculated what the two words "family" meant.

Family. Was it Dominic Vance’s family or the family of his fiancé? In any case, they all knew who Lucien was and what his position was. There were also rumors in the circle that Dominic Vance wanted to return this fiancé position to Lucien Sinclair, after all, he was the one with proper status.

But in the upper class circle, sometimes a title did not hold as much value as benefits. Right now, Miles Sinclair was still nominally a son of the Sinclair family. The matter of the illegitimate child was already in the past. And currently in the Sinclair household, it was very clear that Miles Sinclair and his mother held the priority. Marrying Lucien Sinclair would not bring many benefits.

It might even turn the marriage alliance into enmity.

As for Lucien, after hearing the two words "family", he only wanted to sneer. How lightly spoken. Truly the people in the wealthy circle, those two words "family" were so light, without any real meaning at all.

Family, huh. If there were many, it would not matter to discard one or two. The definition of family in this wealthy circle was simply like that.

Yet that group actually sat down to eat dinner with the two of them, but Lucien had no opinion about it. Dominic Vance talked business with the partners while he focused on eating, obediently acting as a well-behaved little lover who listened and did not interrupt any conversation. The man sitting beside Lucien talked business while occasionally turning to pick food for him.

They discussed for a while, then for some reason switched to speaking in French. Lucien guessed it must be something important, so they probably did not want him to hear. Lucien inwardly mocked them. Who would even bother listening?

I here understands it, you know!

Lucien clicked his tongue inwardly. These people, obviously except for the middle-aged man who was not familiar with such matters, probably all knew that Lucien had been kicked out of the Sinclair family for a period and that his studies had not amounted to anything. Too bad that was Lucien Sinclair. The Lucien here was the beloved child of the entire family. These languages had been taught to him personally by tutors invited by his family, and he even had an older brother to practice speaking with.

A little French was not a problem for him at all.

But forget it. He did not care. So Lucien continued pretending not to understand, obediently chewing the food on the table like a little kitten.

Then suddenly Lucien felt a hand placed on his knee, with a tendency to move up his thigh a little, almost making him jump up.

Looking over, Dominic Vance’s expression was still calm as he talked with his partners, his face showing no emotion at all. But the hand under the table was stroking along Lucien’s knee, even deliberately pressing lightly on his thigh.

You perverted old goat!

Lucien bit his lip tightly, trying hard to keep his breathing steady. He reached his hand down, intending to push the man’s hand away, but Dominic Vance was faster. The man grabbed his wrist, held it firmly, and continued his journey on Lucien’s thigh.

"I heard there are some complications with the permit approval for this project?" Dominic Vance asked his partner, his voice completely calm.

"Yes, there are indeed some issues, but we are handling them," the partner replied.

Dominic Vance nodded. His fingers still slowly drew circles on the inner side of Lucien’s thigh. Lucien trembled. His legs reflexively drew together, but they were held down by the man’s hand.
