Chapter 133
I looked at Victoria in utter shock and disgust. “Strakovski Jewelry just exposed Bella’s plagiarism in court. Do you think they are crazy to hire her into the company after that? Or is my little sister just eager to slap herself in the face?”
Before Victoria could speak, the study door was pushed open.
“Mom, please stop pleading for her. She seems to be unable to handle seeing me succeed and believes she can treat us poorly just because she is now depending on Lukas. It doesn’t occur to her that if Lukas truly cares about her, he wouldn’t disregard her own
sibling. “Bella said indignantly as she walked into the room.
I glanced at her coldly. “You playing the angel and the other playing the devil won’t work on me. It’s none of your business whether
Lukas cares about me or not.”
After saying that, I was about to leave.
Bella grabbed her arm and pleaded, “Skylar, can’t you really help me?”
I sneered, “Your audacity is quite impressive to beg me after what you just said.”
Bella’s expression was a little unnatural, but her tone was still a little softer: “Yes, I beg you, sister, can you arrange a work for me in Strakovski Jewelry?”
After all, one of the conditions for Gerald Hughes to agree to marry her was that she could enter Strakovski Jewelry.
I sneered at her. “You’re really thick–skinned, aren’t you?”
Bella’s face turned extremely ugly.
Taking advantage of her momentary confusion, I tried, “Did you swap the original design for the Morning Light Jewelry Competition?”
Bella looked puzzled, “What original design?”
I instantly understood that it wasn’t Bella.
If it had been Bella, she would have asked me upfront, just like she did before.
Seeing her reaction, I let go of Bella’s hand. “Nevermind.”
I said that and left, opening the door and walking out.
Bella’s eyes turned red. “Mom, look how she’s bullying me!”
Victoria’s eyes darkened. “Don’t worry. Mom will find a solution. I’ll make sure you can join Strakovski Jewelry. You can focus on
preparing for your wedding.”
Feeling both aggrieved and angry, Bella said, “No matter what method you use, don’t beg her. Lukas doesn’t care about her at all. Who knows why they got married? Besides, I’ve never seen Lukas publicly acknowledge his wife. He doesn’t care about her at all. Begging her is useless.”
Victoria’s eyes darkened. “Don’t worry, I have my ways.”
I came downstairs, told Geoff that I was leaving, and walked away.

As a result, as soon as I stepped out, I saw Lukas getting out of the car in a hurry,
“Mr. Strakovski,” I greeted.
Lukas’s body stiffened, and he looked up with an extremely displeased expression.
Seeing me standing there unharmed, he seemed to be brewing a storm. His voice was filled with anger. “Skylar, are you out of your
mind?”
I was taken aback. I hadn’t expected Lukas to come to the Lopez Family home and lose his temper the moment they met.
Frowning, I asked, “Mr. Strakovski, have I offended you? Why are you talking to me like this?”
Lukas was fuming. “You didn’t offend me. It’s just that my brain isn’t functioning properly, forcing me to come over here.”
I looked at Lukas incredulously, surprised by the absurdity that came out of his mouth just now.
However, I understood one thing: Lukas must have come to find me.
I was about to speak when I saw Lukas’s displeased face as he continued, “Skylar, I really didn’t expect that after being targeted by designs before, you’d still come to the Lopez Family. Do you have a death wish? You’re not using your brain properly. What do you
even want to do in the future?”
Lukas finished speaking and angrily turned around, getting back into his car and driving away.
I stood there, looking dazed.
After a while, I finally understood why Lukas had come suddenly.
He was afraid that she might be targeted by Victoria again, just like last time.
Although Lukas scolded me mercilessly, I felt strangely warmed by it.
I blinked and turned around to get back into my car.
As Lukas’s car drove away, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret.
He was having dinner with his parents at home when he received a call from the housekeeper, saying that i had gone out.
When the housekeeper returned my car to the Lopez Family villa earlier, he had installed a tracking device on it.
Initially, Lukas didn’t pay much attention to what the housekeeper said. However, when he glanced at the location of the tracking device, he was taken aback to find it was at the Lopez Family villa. Lukas immediately became anxious and angry, taking the car key and heading straight to the Lopez Family villa.
He never expected that the moment he arrived, I would come out of the villa.
However, he didn’t see me safely leaving, so he just left in anger.
Lukas truly didn’t expect that he would react so impatiently and angrily when he saw me. Now that he had calmed down, he felt like he was losing his mind when he thought back to the scene.
Lukas’s face darkened, and he peeled a mint candy before tossing it into his mouth.
He closed his eyes, turned the car around, and headed back to the Lopez Family villa.

However, when he had driven some distance on the road, he saw my car leaving from the other side of the road.
Lukas’s eyes flickered. Looking at the tracking device, he saw my car getting farther away. Only then did he finally feel relieved and turned around to head back to the Van Eimeren family villa.
I returned to Hill Crest One Residence.
As soon as I got out of the car, Victoria called me.
My expression wasn’t great as me hung up the phone without saying a word.
But Victoria called again.
I answered the call with a cold face, “Is there something you need?”
Victoria wasn’t angry either. “Have you seen the photos I sent you?”
i was taken aback. i put the phone on speaker and went to my home screen to open WhatsApp.
I immediately saw the photos Victoria sent me, and after examining the contents closely, my face turned extremely ugly.
