âHoney, are we not going to remarry anytime soon?â
Ashlynâs expression froze, and her heart pounded at his words.
It took a while for her to compose herself before saying, âLucas, letâs date before we get married again.â
The emotion flickering in Lucasâ narrowed eyes was too complicated to decipher. A hint of longing crept up his expression as he pleaded, âHoney, donât you want to marry me in a wedding dress?â
Ashlyn clenched her teeth. âLucas, weâve never dated previously. I would love to do that first.â
With both the Spirogyra and the Backtrack poison still in my body, thereâs no way I can marry him now.
Besides, I have to locate my mother and take revenge on that terrorist group first.
I need to give them a taste of their own medicine!
But if I implicate Lucas in that process, Iâll regret it for the rest of my life.
The terrorist group nearly killed her, so she had to avenge herself.
NN Terrorist Group was so powerful that until now, she still hadnât located their headquarters.
This time, she barely survived.
Lucasâ body stiffened as he got overwhelmed by mixed emotions. He seemed pained and insulted at the same time. She would always pull at his heartstrings before stepping all over his heart to mock him.
âYou still donât trust me, right?â
Having said that, he turned and left without sparing her a second glance.
While Ashlyn stared at his desolate figure leaving, she gritted her teeth with pursed lips.

At Haddock Group headquarters.
Both Tinsor and Blair majored in finance, but they were arranged to intern in the public relations department.
âBy the way, what does the public relations department do?â Blair asked Tinsor softly.
âHow would I know?â Tinsor shot him a confused look.
They might have majored in finance, but none of them had the intention of taking over their family businesses that were currently overseen by their brothers.
Both of them wanted to be spoilt rich brats and spend their time playing games, partying around, and flirting with women.
However, when Blair recalled what Ashlyn told him earlier, a wave of resolve surged within him.
I canât go on like this.
Since Iâve decided to intern in Haddock Group, I need to do my best.
If I intern in my familyâs company, the staff will coo over me. Since no one knows me here, this should be a great experience.
âWeâll do what the manager tells us to do.â
âYes, we must listen to our superior.â
Both of them thought they would need to drink and accompany clients to get contracts.
However, the manager handed them a project which surprised them greatly. âThe recent trending topics are making our company look bad.â
âWhat trending topics?â Tinsorâs confusion deepened.
What do trending topics have to do with the public relations department?
âI donât know!â Having no prior experience in this field, Blairâs mind had blanked out.
The manager told them, âBoth of you should learn how to handle a PR crisis from your seniors.â
He then announced, âEveryone, our meeting will start soon.â
Without further ado, the manager entered the meeting room in their department and started the meeting.
âAngel and Devil is an important project our company invested in. Weâll cast popular idols to act in our movie. But now, the trending topics are all revolving around our rival, Trashy Idol. This is bad for our project,â the manager explained.
âWhat should we do now?â
âFirst, we need to dig up some dirt on our rival and tarnish Jonathan Quicktonâs and Greg Maxwellâs images. Most importantly, Trashy Idolâs female lead is a rookie actress. Rookies normally have a lot of dirt. Before Greg can remove all her dirt from the internet, we need to find them and expose them to the public! Then everyone will lose interest in this movie.â
