It took him some time to bring himself up from the ground. He forced a smile in return in an attempt to please Lucas, asking, âMr. Nolan, youâre Ashlynâsâ¦â
Lucas replied callously, asserting a dominating presence, casting a stern gaze at the man on the floor before instructing, âYou are in no position to know our relationship.â
As soon as he finished reprimanding the man, he turned around and ordered, âGet rid of them at once!â
âYes, Mr. Nolan.â Spencer stepped forward and handed over Lucas a clean piece of handkerchief.
Immediately, Lucas took it over and wiped his hands clean as though he had just come in touch with a filthy creature.
Initially, Horace wanted to leverage the relationship Lucas had with Ashlyn, but it seemed to be a mission impossible because Lucas despised the presence of those like Horace the most.
Horace felt greatly humiliated because he had never been treated in such a manner before since he was the president of a small corporation.
Although he was irritated, he couldnât possibly offend Lucas due to the differences in their backgrounds.
Nonetheless, he couldnât figure out the sort of relationship between Lucas and Ashlyn.
The man with a noble presence approached the gorgeous woman, behaving entirely different from the way he treated Horace by asking her gently, âAre you okay? Have you been hurt anywhere?â
âI will never allow myself to get hurt by these bunch of fools,â Ashlyn replied with a poker face.
âThatâs good to know.â Lucas turned around and cast a stern gaze at Spencer once again.
Spencer knew what Lucas was up to. Thus, he chased the trio from the Berry family out of the hospital along with the guards of the hospital.
âIâm not leaving! Iâm the nurse of the hospital!â Penelope yelled as she retaliated against the guards, staring at Lucas lustfully as she thought.
Is that Mr. Nolan, the captain that everyone in town is talking about? Heâs such a heartbreaker. I canât believe such a flawless-looking man exists in the world. Apart from that, heâs both good-looking and rich at the same time!
How does Ashlyn get to know him? In fact, it seems like theyâre pretty close! This b*tch must have had gone around seducing men again! Sheâs such a lustful vixen!
Penelope mustered her strength and managed to break free from the guards who had suppressed her.
Once she broke free, she sprinted over in the direction of Lucas, requesting, âMr. Nolan, Iâm Penelope, Ashlynâs sister⦠C-Can we get to know each other?â
In return, Lucas frowned in disgust and cast a skeptical gaze at Penelope before turning around to size Ashlyn up.
âIs she your half-sister?â Lucas remarked.
This is unbelievable! Sheâs actually Ashlynâs half-sister? They donât look alike at all! I mean, her half-
sister is so ugly.
âActually, weâre not related at all,â Ashlyn shook her head.
âNo wonder sheâs so freaking ugly,â Lucas concluded.
âU-Ugly? Me? Thatâs impossibleâ¦â All of a sudden, Penelopeâs heart sank to the bottom of her stomach because she had been criticized by others regarding her look. Although Iâm not a match for Ashlyn in terms of look, Iâm, by no means, ugly, right?
âLook at you and your craggy nose, small eyes, and wrinkled lips⦠None of your features resemble the ones on Ashlynâs face. Donât you think you are the perfect definition of ugly?â Lucas avoided Penelopeâs gaze because he found her presence irritating.
âI-Iâm sure you have been deceived by Ashlyn! Sheâs a vixen! Sheâs having an affair with the captain of the guards! Apart from that, she is also having an affair with Jaredâ¦â
Slap!
Before Penelope could finish her sentence, Spencer took a step forwards and slap Penelope in the face because he couldnât hold back his anger anymore.
Since Penelope had belittled Ashlyn in front of him, he would avenge her even without Lucasâ
instruction.
Consequently, the other side of Penelopeâs cheeks bulged too. She heard a buzz and suffered from blackouts for some time because Spencer had slapped her in the face with all his might.
âTeach her a lesson. I want you to slap her twenty times!â The wrathful man instructed. Those in the corridor of the hospital shuddered in fear upon detecting the menacing aura coming from the man.
Itâs so nasty! Heâs such a horrifying man!
Ashlyn was the only one who managed to pull herself together, unaffected by the manâs menacing aura.
Ever since Penelope decided to engage in a conversation with Lucas, Ashlyn had been observing quietly in anticipation of a great show from her half-sister.
On the contrary, Penelope wouldnât stop picking on Ashlyn in front of Lucas. She had been pushing her luck in hopes of causing a conflict between Ashlyn and Lucas.
Spencer rolled his sleeves up and raised his hand and he started slapping Penelope in front of others.
In return, Penelope groaned in pain repetitively, complaining, âThis is against the law! I- Ouch! I-Iâll sue you for intentional assault!â
