Chapter 650

As a female chairperson, Ashlyn naturally wouldn’t be invited to such events.

However, her high-profile appearance at the summit made Lucas have a feeling that Ashlyn had an ulterior motive.

Since she is so interested in coming, I decided to bring her in myself. Otherwise, she might try to sneak in and endanger herself.

To Ashlyn’s surprise, the hyper-realistic mask fitted perfectly. She was slightly taken aback. At that moment, she was no different from the other women in the room. She was not the chairman of Centennial Healthcare.

Instead, she was just Lucas’ female companion.

The other women were staring at Lucas’ handsome face and didn’t notice what he had done to Ashlyn a moment ago.

Just then, men started to enter the conference room one after another.

Ashlyn noticed that they were all familiar faces. After all, they had a meeting and lunch together that day.

Each and every one of them was proud and pretentious during the day.

Thus, Ashlyn didn’t expect them to act so lowly at night.

She watched as the men entered the room and picked women they liked as if they were products on a shelf. Soon, the men each had women on their sides.

After everyone took their seats, their host, Leonardo Tasker, who was famous for being an owner of a large jewelry company, cleared his throat and smiled deviously. “Good evening, everybody. Tonight, I have prepared a dozen of gorgeous women for you. Each of them went through a full inspection, so they are absolutely clean.”

The end of Lucas’ eyes curved upward as he heard that. He smirked and glanced around the room.

However, he was completely emotionless.

Ashlyn continued to play the role of Lucas’ female companion and nuzzled in his arms. At that instant, she could sense the cold and frightening aura from his body.

Yet, when she looked up, she saw a soft grin on his devious face.

Just then, she heard Lucas’ attractive voice. “My female companion who is sitting next to me is the perfect woman in my eyes, so…”

“Mr. Nolan, be a good sport and pick a woman.” Leonardo seemed displeased. Is Lucas trying to make me look bad?

Nonetheless, when he met Lucas’ cold glare, he felt a shiver run down his spine.

Leonard quickly calmed himself down and decided to give up on Lucas. He hurriedly turned to the other men and said, “Gentlemen, you must find the girl that you like the most!”

Ashlyn kept her head low and allowed Lucas to hug her as she quietly sat on her seat.

“Now… I want to invite everyone to try out the latest substance that just arrived, Cyrus! It is extremely pure and smells amazing! All of you must try it out!”

As soon as Leonardo finished speaking, a few women walked into the meeting room.

Each of them held a delicate plate with a small bowl on it.

Ashlyn watched the scene grimly.

That’s Cyrus! According to rumors, whoever tries Cyrus would experience great pleasure. However, it is highly addictive and almost impossible to give up on. Once a person gets addicted, the consequences would be disastrous. Yet, Leonard is inviting all the great leaders in the business world to drink that? Has he lost his mind? Why is he serving a highly addictive substance?

“Leonardo, are you insane? How could you invite everyone to drink that?” a middle-aged man with a potbelly yelled furiously. “We are only here to enjoy the company of women. Who doesn’t like that?

However, everyone here knows very well how dangerous Cyrus is!”

No one in their right mind would get near Cyrus.

As Leonardo faced the middle-aged man’s questioning, his face instantly darkened. He slammed his palm on the table and yelled, “Only a few people in this room have not tried Cyrus! Are you trying to make me look bad? Ask the men around you whether they tried it before!”

The middle-aged man scoffed and turned to Lucas. “Mr. Nolan, what do you think of this situation?”

Lucas lazily glanced at Leonardo and replied, “I wouldn’t go near such a lowly substance like that.”
