"You're overthinking."
Ava rolled her eyes, speechless. "What did those people mention about a public auction just now... what does it mean? Could Lucas have approached us today for this reason?"
She had long known that there were not that many coincidences in the world; Lucas's appearance must have been driven by some purpose. After listening to Ian Roan's conversation, she managed to sort out some of the connections.
Lucas appreciated her stone-picking skills and likely wanted to invite her to join the public auction as a gift.
Fortunately, she didn't fall for it. Otherwise, if she showed herself in front of the Rowe Family, would she have any peaceful days ahead?
Mia hadn't been involved in these matters, and her family didn't deal in such businesses, so she was genuinely unaware of these things.
But she grasped one thing: Lucas's gift had a purpose. Stroking the jade bracelet on her wrist, she suddenly felt it was somewhat burdensome.
