My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 1114

Chapter 1114 Do Not Regret

Her brows were tightly furrowed. “Ashlyn, what do you mean by this? I've been treating you with nothing but kindness and respect. Do you really think that we from the Taylor family are pushovers? Not only do you dare to bully my daughter, but you also have the audacity to be so arrogant. Let me tell you. Jadeborough is the Taylor family's territory. I can easily do away with you! It's your honor to have my daughter as your apprentice. I respect you but don't overstep your boundaries. Otherwise, things may turn ugly.”

The woman sitting across from her had delicate features, especially after she had just spoken harshly.

Ashlyn merely raised her eyes slightly. Her words were succinct yet startling, her face calm and unruffled. “Nope.”

Andrea laughed in exasperation and adjusted her fur coat. Her voice was calm, but a hint of smugness could be detected. “So, you won't accept my daughter as your apprentice? I suppose James must be having a wonderful time in prison, isn't he? It's fine if you don't accept, but do you really not care about James' survival? Can you bear to see him living a life worse than death in prison?”

James was their Achilles' heel.

Andrea was well-versed in the principle of targeting others' sore spots.

A glint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. “As long as I step in, Mr. President will surely investigate James' case thoroughly. At the very least, with my intervention, his time in prison will be a bit more comfortable. Are you sure you won't accept?”

She stared intently at Ashlyn, not missing any subtle changes in the latter's expression.

The light in the private room illuminated Ashlyn's face, casting a layer of faint, ethereal glow.

Ashlyn remained expressionless all the while. Her red lips slightly parted as she replied tersely, “Nope.”

She responded in a similar manner.

Andrea caught her breath, abruptly standing up in a huff. She towered over Ashlyn, glaring down at the latter. “I see you prefer to do it the hard way. I suggest you appreciate my kindness while I'm still showing you courtesy.”
