Chapter 431

Ashlyn stared at him blankly, “Where are we going?”

“We’re going home,” he said as he carried her bridal style and made their way out.

The Lamborghini sped all the way back to the manor.

Lucas opened the door, carried her down the car, and took big strides towards the bedroom.

“Take a rest first. I’ll prepare your bath,” he said. Then, he folded his sleeves and went to the bathroom.

Ashlyn’s body still felt limp as she lay on the bed.

The sound of running water from the bathroom could be heard.

Her tense emotions instantly relaxed.

When Lucas came out of the bathroom, he noticed she was fast asleep.

The blazer draped on her shoulder fell to the floor and revealed her crumpled dress. It was torn at the hem and ripped at the collar, showing bruises on her snow-white skin.

He couldn’t imagine the torture she had suffered.

She was drugged!

Someone actually dare to drug my woman?

That person must have a death wish!

At the Fashion Week event.

Megan felt restless and uneasy in her seat. She was lost in thoughts and didn’t pay attention to the fashion show right in front of her.

Ms. X turned the tables?

She frowned deeply as she couldn’t wrap her head around it.

What happened?

Abigail walked to her and said in a low voice, “Director Hobbs, I have bad news.”

She told Megan everything she saw.

Megan turned white as a sheet, “What did you say? She defeated both of them and it was recorded?

Reedman’s wife came too?”

What in the world?! This was completely out of her expectation.

I just wanted to win an award and kick Ashlyn out of the company!

How did things turned out this way?

Megan almost fainted.

Things were spiraling out of control.

Then, she thought, How could Ashlyn be so lucky?

How did she escape from it unscathed? Does she have nine lives?

In the manor.

When Ashlyn woke up from a well-rested sleep, it was five o’clock in the afternoon.

She slowly sat up and noticed she was wearing a set of pajamas.

Lucas was handling work duties as he sat on the sofa in the room. He heard a rustle of sheets and turned to look at her, “You’re awake?”

Ashlyn nodded her head and tried to sway her head. She was glad the after-effects of the drugs had worn off after a night of sleep and felt a lot better.

The wretched feeling of dizziness was gone too.

“Lucas,” she was about to say something when she heard him say, “Are you hungry?”

After hearing his question, she realized she was indeed ravenous, “Yes, I’m hungry. Is there anything to eat?”

“Of course,” Lucas put his laptop away and walked to the bed, “Let’s go.”

They went to the restaurant downstairs and the maid began to serve the food.

Lucas was serving her some of the salad as he said, “Do you want to go to Fashion Week later?”

Ashlyn paused, “The Debut Fashion Show is over, right?”

It was pass five o’clock now.

Lucas looked at her with certainty and said, “It’s not over.”

“Logically speaking, it should be over. Did you..” Ashlyn looked at him suspiciously. Did he do something to delay Fashion Week?

He took a napkin to wipe his mouth and said, “The winner of the Debut Fashion Show has not been selected. Also, they changed the judge. So. everyone is waiting for you.”

Ashlyn thought she was dreaming when she heard this, “Waiting for me?”

Why would an international fashion week competition wait for me on the day of its debut?

Is he joking?

Although she had confidence in herself, she was not a narcissistic person.

“Yes,” Lucas’s dark eyes were staring right into her eyes.

“Why?” Ashlyn was puzzled as she studied Lucas’s calm behavior, “Don’t tell me it’s because of you?”
