Demon Hawke, feeling helpless, had no choice but to muster the courage to interrupt the conversation between Ruan Qi and Duke Davis.
"I didn't expect that the old duke and Miss Qi Sha were acquaintances; what a coincidence."

Demon Hawke forced a smile and continued, "Duke Davis, Mr. Simon and I have some matters to discuss with Miss Qi Sha. Could you please wait a moment? We'll be done shortly."
Demon Hawke didn't dare to offend the Davis family, so his tone was humble to the point of subservience.

Demon Hawke's expression suddenly changed, "Mr. Austin..."
