Chapter 2648

Steven‘s secretary was the one who opened the door to the conference room. Steven took a deep
breath and entered the conference room.

He thought Thomas was attending the meeting on his own. To his surprise, another man was with him,
possessing a powerful aura and a cold–looking face – Joshua. The man looked tall and strong, his
head lowered as he skimmed through the documents at hand.

“Mr. Lynch, Mr. Hughes is here.”

The man cocked his head at the announcement. When he saw Steven, Joshua, admittedly, was taken
aback.

This man…was the spitting image of. Even the unnoticeable scar at the corner of his eye was exactly
the same as Luke‘s! Perhaps others would not take notice of the scar, but not Joshua. He remembered
very vividly how Luke got that scar. It was when Luke teamed up with him during a mission in Sea City
to rescue Luna. Luke accidentally got hurt when he was fighting with the enemy. After that, they
became best friends. Luke even joked with Joshua saying that the scar under his brow near the corner
of his eye was the proof of their brotherhood.

With this man standing before him, the one called Mr. Hughes had the same body, same face, and
even the same scar as Luke.

He was not Mr. Hughes! He was Luke! Steven felt disconcerted with the way Joshua looked at him. He
furrowed his brow and sat at the host seat he was led to. He looked at Joshua. “You must be Mr. Lynch.
Nice to meet you.” Even his sound was identical to Luke‘s. However, the temperament he
encompassed and the way he spoke were different from Luke‘s. When Luke spoke, his voice sounded
deep and moody. Steven‘s voice sounded warm and clear like a spring breeze. The huge difference in
the voice finally drew Joshua‘s thoughts back to reality. Joshua smiled lightly and retracted his look.
“I‘ve heard many things about you, Mr. Hughes. I just didn‘t expect…”



He took a good look at Steven again. “I didn‘t expect you to look so identical to a friend of mine.”

Steven curled up his lip and remembered how Kate used to tell him how Joshua liked to use the ‘old–
friend‘ tactic to close the gap between him and a stranger. Thus, he smiled. “It‘s an honor to share the
resemblance.” After that, he diverted the topic. “Mr. Lynch, you and Mr. Howard come here to talk
business with me. Shall we start now? We can be friends later.” Joshua narrowed his eyes. ‘What does
he mean? Does he think I was trying to be on his good side to gain more benefits in the partnership by
saying he looks like my old friend? If that‘s what it is, then he sees no further than his nose and has too
little experience.‘

After all, it would not take too much effort for Steven to find out Joshua had been in the business for far
too long and that he did not need to pull any strings to be on anyone‘s good side.

A businessman would always put benefit and profit as his first priority. If both parties could not agree on
the same term, it would not work no matter how close they were. Then again, no one needed to be in
the industry for an extended period to know this.

Even Thomas, who had been in the entertainment industry, knew about this theory.

Nonetheless, this man who looked identical to Luke did not know about it. He even thought Joshua was
someone who would use connections to get more profit.
