Chapter 349

Lucas and Spencer had just arrived at the backstage when they heard the performers’ cheers. Their faces darkened instantly.

Lucas thought furiously, Just now, it was Jared Quickton. Now it’s Jonathan Quickton.

What’s with all the Quicktons?

Damn it!

When he imagined how these men stared at her, he couldn’t help but feel upset.

His eyes glinted coldly as he walked to the backstage.

As soon as his tall figure appeared, everyone felt a chill running down their spines.

That’s chilly. Why does it suddenly feel like the temperature has dipped below zero?

A heavy silence hung in the air.

Ashlyn glanced at the man whose face had darkened and raised her brows. “Mr. Nolan, may I help you?”

“I’ll give you a ride home.” The man’s voice was like a cello, seductive and melodious.

However, he didn’t manage to seduce Ashlyn who merely dug her ears and smirked. Her gaze was indifferent as she said, “I’m sorry, but Mr. Quickton and I are going the same way.”

Lisa stood in a corner as jealousy blazed through her heart.

How did that b***h find Janet?

She wondered how Janet appeared right in the nick of time.

As Janet was here, the Gala Night was a great success.

She was certain Dixon would place the blame on her after looking into the matter.

Viciousness gleamed across Lisa’s face as she thought, Damn it, how will I report to Sienna now?

I’ve assured her Janet won’t be here.

Upon recalling how ruthless Dixon was, Lisa couldn’t help but shudder in fear.

Meanwhile, Lucas could only watch as Ashlyn enter Jared’s car.

He held back the fury in his heart as he knew he shouldn’t force her to go his way. The only way to her heart was to follow her wishes.

However, it irritated him to see her with other men.

Suddenly, he suspected the advice given by the so-called online love gurus was nothing but nonsense.

He shouldn’t have trusted them.

Gritting his teeth, he ordered Spencer who was sitting right ahead. “Order 99 flower stands for me.”

Spencer was confused. “Where do you want to deliver them to?”

“To the entrance of the city Hall.”

Thus, the front page news of Lake City Morning Post read as following.

A mysterious man delivered 99 flower stands to the entrance of our city hall, with a note congratulating Ashlyn Berry for the success of Lake City’s Gala Night.

This mysterious suitor is stressing out Ms. Berry’s other suitors! This generous suitor must have deep pockets to be able to do something this extravagant!

That was the exact quote taken from Lake City Morning Post.

Ashlyn couldn’t help but sigh in exasperation upon reading that article.

She was certain that crazy Lucas was behind this.

Why does he like to be the center of attention?

Ashlyn massaged her temples in resignation. She suddenly noticed Harrison and Anderson shoving each other unwillingly.

She shot them a look. “What is it? Stop pushing each other like little girls.”

“Boss, er… It’s about Berry Furnishings.”

“A few days ago, we…”

“Get to the point,” Ashlyn sat up and demanded while leaving the newspaper aside. “I told you to get something on them, right? What did you get? It has been days. Don’t tell me you got nothing.”

“Yes, we did,” Harrison hurriedly replied. “We wanted to report it yesterday, but we forgot about it.”

“If you found something, hand the evidence to the authorities. The law is fair and just,” Ashlyn replied coolly. “Since they misused the loopholes in the law, they should get punished accordingly.”

“Yes, yes. We’ll deal with it now.” Both men ran away at once.

After a break, Ashlyn prepared lunch and went to the hospital.

She had been busy with the Gala Night, so she didn’t have time for her grandma.
