    Their gazes didn’t linger on each other.


    There was no need to put their flirtatious banter on show.


    A momentter, Chief Nelson was summoned by a waitress, and had no time to continue observing the situation.


    After the initial stir when Jenny first came in, only two people talked to her.


    Given her current status, there were only two people here who were qualified to talk to her the whole time. One of them was New York’s famous financier, Jeffrey Soderberg, and the other was a city councilor.


    Jeffrey’s cousin was Mike Soderberg, the mayor of New York, and the councilor was part of the mayor’s party.


    Jeffrey’s wife, Aurora, and his daughter, Lindsay, were also there, but they didn’t mix with the two groups of “socialites.” Instead, they had their own group of “upper-ss”dies.


    Luke naturally knew the Soderberg family.


    Previously, the couple had misunderstood their daughter, Lindsay, and thought that she was funding an artist named Monroe because she was in love with him.


    In the end, it was Luke who rmended that Monroe see Dr. Haley for treatment. Only then did the family stop fighting.


    As for why Jeffrey had a councilor with him as he sought Jenny out, Luke wasn’t interested.


    In America, money and power were always inseparable.


    If the rich wanted to livefortably, they had to use money to help them obtain some “power.”


    Politicians also needed the support of big capitalists to secure their positions.


    Luke wanted the advantages of being a big capitalist, but not the burden of social niceties. He could only let Jenny suffer that.


    Thankfully, with Jenny’s current wealth and status, there were very few people who were qualified to negotiate with her.


    Most of the time, CEO Jenny only needed to ask the PR department to handle things.


    She had onlye tonight to see Luke.


    After all, Luke hadn’te by recently for official reports on the phonepany. Jenny wasn’t living up to her title as a secretary.


    She didn’t need to say anything else; it was just a few nces. After tonight, a certain chairman would very “sensibly” make an appearance.


    Five minutes before the party officially started, another tall and thin woman walked in. It was Pepper Potts.


    There was an even bigger stir than when Jenny had arrived.


    Selina found that odd. “Why is she here? Is tonight’s party that big?”


    Luke shrugged. “Mike Soderberg is still New York’s mayor. Even if he resigns, there’s still half a year to go. If Stark wants to survive in New York, he has to give the Soderberg family some face.”


    Sure enough, Pepper soon joined Jeffrey’s circle and they chatted together.


    However, Pepper appeared closer to Jenny.


    Thanks to Luke, Jenny had always been on Pepper’s side on Stark Industries’ board of directors.


    Since they were both women, they had a good personal rtionship, and their smiles were clearly much more sincere.


    Then, the party officially began.


    The councilor made a speech on stage, and everybody apuded politely to say, “Got it, you can get off the stage now.”


    The councilor tactfully got off the stage and continued meeting with people.


    Jenny and Pepper, however, conversed together


    As the CEO of Stark Industries, and the CEO of Titanium Phone Company, whose market value and cash flow were expanding rapidly, the two of them could cooperate in many ways.


    Pepper had actuallye because of Jenny, and they soon left the hall together to look for a ce to talk.


    Before she left, Jenny met Luke’s eyes again and gave him a meaningful look.


    Luke nodded and then hid behind the long dining table with Selina as they waited for the dancing to start.


    His ears and Mental Communication could be considered perfect tools for stealthy surveince, and it was easy to listen in on all sorts of nderous gossip.


    Most of it was from the two groups of socialites, but the gossip they had was also the least worth paying attention to.


    Luke soon focused on the conversation between the others, and didn’t forget to record some key points using his ck-framed sses for Little Snail to save.


    At that moment, a call came in.


    Luke saw that it was Chief Nelson.


    When Luke picked it up, Nelson simply told him to find security and have them lead the way to the second floor of Block B.


    In the meantime, Jenny sent a message and briefly exined what was going on.


    Something had happened in the room where she and Pepper had been talking. Nelson, Cook, the son of the mayor, and a naked young woman had appeared in a hidden bedroom.


    Worst of all, the young woman was on the verge of death.


    After reading the message, Luke immediately headed to the location which Chief Nelson had given him with Selina.


    He had Jenny’s location from her phone, and didn’t need anyone to lead the way.


    On the way, he showed Selina Jenny’s message.


    Selina was stunned. “Do bigshots all have this sort of fun? I thought this was a proper party!”


    Luke wasn’t interested in exposing the private lives of these New York bigshots, but he wasn’t surprised by anything they did either.


    With money, you could do whatever you wanted!


    Too many cases in New York testified to this. Because there were too many rich people here, there were always entrics.


    “There will always be a few odd ones out when there are a lot of people. Maybe they like some more stimting fun, and came here especially for that,” he said casually.


    Selina was lost for words. “…So now that the fun’s over, they’re ready to die?”


    Luke said, “That’s not unusual for other people, but our ‘big boss’ doesn’t seem like someone who would do something so stupid. Let’s take a look first.”


    They found the room.


    Looking at the four bodyguards at the door, Luke took out his badge and gave his name.


    Two of the four bodyguards worked for the owner of the vi.


    Luke remembered the other two female bodyguards. One was Pepper’s, and the other was Jenny’s.


    For rich people like the two women, it was impossible for them to leave their personal safety to the Soderbergs. Even in this vi, they had their own security detail.


    However, the little secretary who often followed Pepper around hadn’te, which made Luke curious.


    The bodyguards at the entrance had clearly received instructions. They quickly checked their badges before letting them in.


    Three more bodyguards stood at the door inside, two of whom also worked for Pepper and Jenny respectively.


    Two women and two men were in the drawing room.


    Luke chuckled inwardly. They were all acquaintances.


    At that moment, the four of them didn’t have very good expressions on their faces.. When they heard the door open, they looked over.
