My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 1008

Chapter 1008 Despair

Joseph's heart ached as he asked, “Dad... how could we cover this up?”

James' gaze spoke of the stress he had endured from being in an influential position for a long time. He said to his son, “You have to find a way. Even hiding it for a second is precious time saved. Don't let me down, Joe. And take good care of your mom and sister, all right?”

“Dad...” Joseph was choking up with tears.

James spoke as though he was sharing his last wishes before death. Joseph was devastated, yet there was nothing he could do to change the situation.

He regretted his decision to follow Lucas into business instead of going into politics.

Perhaps I could've been more helpful to my father as a politician and not a businessman.

“Ashlyn and Lucas, you're both fine, intelligent people. Nobody knows what will happen to me next, so don't try anything rash, okay?” James worried the couple would attempt something extreme and land themselves in a sticky situation instead.

His words caused Ashlyn's heart to burn with rage.

James was a good man and had been kind to her.

During his term as mayor, he contributed significantly to Lake City's economic development and safety and made great progress in the city's urban planning.

Why would they criminalize someone as nice as him?

Ashlyn vowed, “Don't worry, James. We'll definitely save you.”

“Take care of yourself, Mr. Field. We'll do everything we can to prove your innocence.”

Lucas nodded somberly in agreement. He exuded a terrifying aura as he pondered the culprit responsible for engineering the Field family's downfall.

Once I find out who this person is, I'll tear him into pieces!

James continued rattling off more work-related instructions to his subordinates, but alas, it was soon time to go.

The police chief's office plunged into austere silence after James was escorted away.
