Chapter 593

She took a deep breath. “I didn’t sleep a wink last night. I’m so tired.”

Just as she spoke, she headed back to her room.

Slamming her door close, it was like she had shut out the world.

She forced herself to look at the incident objectively. Claire is his sister, but… everything seems so strange.

She knew this was not the time to be flustered as she needed to prove her innocence. Lucas, I will show you the truth.

At Claire’s funeral.

Carmen was wearing a full-length black dress as she stood crying in front of Claire’s portrait.

She cried so tragically that her eyes were all puffy and swollen.

“Mr. Nolan, I really don’t know what happened. Just before she came back, she met up with me and we chatted happily. She even called to invite me to help out at Nolan Group. She was my best friend for many years. I really didn’t expect her to leave me so suddenly.”

Carmen was devastated. “You have to avenge her. That lady called Ashlyn is just too cruel. How can she bring herself to hurt Claire?”

As she seemed like she was going to faint anytime, Nathan quickly supported her. “Don’t be too hard on yourself as the world championship is in two days. If you are not at your best, how are you going to win?”

“I’m not in the mood to compete…” Carmen shook her head in anguish.

“She is your best friend so I’m sure she definitely wants you to win.” Nathan consoled Carmen as he patted her on the back.

“Nathan, thank you.” Carmen accepted a tissue given by a maid and gently wiped her tears.

She was a beautiful lady. Even when she cried, she looked especially vulnerable, causing Nathan to have his heartstrings tugged.

He secretly had a crush on Carmen since a long time ago and she was a goddess to him all this while.

A woman that could drive faster than him simply caused him to admire and worship her.

“Nathan is right. You have to stay strong.” Lucas’ stern voice was hoarse. “Nathan, take Ms. Chadwick to rest.”

“Alright.”

Ashlyn stood alone outside the funeral as she observed Lucas’ silhouette from afar and the unfamiliar woman beside him.

He was always surrounded by many different women.

She no longer knew what to think other than the fact that she was hurting really badly.

Why can’t I let go… I am so disgusted. If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have let down my guard.

As Ashlyn closed her eyes, she tried her best to suppress the pain she was feeling.

At that moment, a Lincoln Limousine stopped in front of her.

Opening her eyes, she saw a middle-aged couple inside the car.

The man’s expression was cold and looked at her with an insidious gaze. As his lips moved into a frightening sneer, his voice sounded like it came from hell itself, “Ashlyn, you killed my daughter. I will make you pay.”

At the same time, the lady looked scornfully at her. “How dare a murderer attend my daughter’s funeral.

Men, chase her away!”

They were Lucas’ adopted parents.

As Ashlyn scrutinized the unfamiliar couple, she realized that the vibe they emitted made her feel nauseous.

Lifting her chin up, she exclaimed, “I’ll leave by myself.”

As Franklin stared at Ashlyn’s silhouette, he let out a sneer, “Ha…”

“Dear, let’s go in.” Livia tugged at his arms.

“Alright.”

When Ashlyn returned to Bayview Villa, she saw her subordinates crowding in the living hall excitedly.

“My god! Carmen Chadwick is my goddess! She is now back and will represent the Nolan Group in the world championships.”

“I heard she isn’t just a professional car racer, but also one of the few who could drive faster than 400km per hour. That’s even faster than some of the famous foreign drivers. For a lady to drive race cars at such high speeds, it’s really impressive.”
