Chapter 933

Everyone turned toward the source of the voice. Hera walked in, wearing a long dress that cinched on her waist which accentuated her curvy figure and captivated everyone’s gazes.

With an elegant smile, Hera walked over to Lucas.

Ashlyn glanced at Hera coldly. She couldn’t help but be amazed by how shameless and thick-faced Hera was.

Lucas never gives her any reaction that she desires, but why is she still so brazen in approaching him actively when she sees him? I’m shocked by her perseverance!

“Hello, Mrs. Nolan.” Hera initiated a conversation with Ashlyn smilingly as though there had never been a conflict between them.

Ashlyn merely glanced at her, ignoring her words.

Lucas also remained silent. He stood with his legs crossed, looking elegant and domineering.

Embarrassment slowly crept onto Hera’s face, for the couple had openly ignored her before the public eyes.

“Mrs. Nolan, Mr. Nolan, I’m the host for today. Please show me some respect, okay?” Hera said coyly yet aggrievedly as though Lucas and Ashlyn had bullied her.

Lucas lifted his head slightly. “Do you deserve to be respected, Ms. Chapman? I’ve lost all regard for you when you pretended to be Ashlyn.” Disgust filled Lucas when he thought of how Hera had faked her identity as his childhood friend. He looked at his surrounding thoughtfully. “Many men are willing to respect you here.”

Hera’s expression stiffened instantly. She had never expected Lucas to shame her so publicly. He looks at me as though I’m a stranger. If that’s the case, isn’t it a waste of my time to try to become the host here? I want Lucas to know how talented I am too!

Hera forced a smile. She wanted to speak again when Charlotte’s voice rang out from behind. “Ashlyn, Mr. Nolan!”

Hera was infuriated. Charlotte is destined to be my nemesis! Why does she have to show up now?

Joseph’s voice could be heard next. “Lucas, Aunt Ashlyn!”

A pin-drop, eerie silence ensued after he greeted Ashlyn.

Lucas exuded an aura that made him seem unapproachable, for he and Joseph were best friends from the same generation.

Joseph’s aunt… Aunt Ashlyn…

Chills ran down Joseph’s back, and he felt the urge to escape with Charlotte immediately.

However, Charlotte was wearing high heels that day. She twisted her feet and said, “My feet hurt. Let’s sit with them.”

Joseph gave a hideous smile. “All right…”

When they sat down, Ashlyn smiled faintly and said, “Joe, let me introduce you to my husband, Lucas Nolan.”

Joseph and the rest present were rendered speechless by her words.

Lucas looked at Ashlyn approvingly.

Still, my wife loves me, and it feels excellent that my status has been elevated since I’m her husband.

Joseph had to admit that he had referred to Ashlyn as his aunt because he wanted to make things difficult for Lucas. It had never occurred to Joseph that Ashlyn would, in turn, introduce Lucas as her husband, making it hard for him to retaliate.

Does Aunt Ashlyn want me to acknowledge Lucas, my childhood friend, as her husband? She might as well end me now!

“Well, uh, I need to use the restroom. See you!” With that, Joseph glanced at Charlotte and left.

Lucas smiled, looking at Ashlyn passionately. “Honey, you’re the best!”

It warms my heart to see her protect and defend me this way. She’s so beautiful and dazzling today!

He fixed his gaze on Ashlyn, seemingly wanting to get intimate with her there and then.
