My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 1183

Chapter 1183 How Are You Feeling

In this bustling world, amidst the intoxicating allure of wealth and power, how can one bear to leave it all behind?

“Mr. Cook, you're not going to back down before we start, are you?” Ashlyn stared at Herald's face, her lips curving into a radiant smile and a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

This man isn't bad looking and carries himself well, but his courage... is a bit lacking. Yet, they dared to bully Lucas. Well, there's nothing they can do with me around.

Herald reached out to pick up the pistol tremblingly. Then, slowly, he raised the gun, aiming it at his own temple.

He wanted to give up, he wanted to beg for Ashlyn's mercy, but the words were stuck in his throat and he simply couldn't utter them.

His Adam's apple kept bobbing up and down.

I'm the youngest minister in Zaewora, holding military power. How can I possibly beg a woman to spare me? If I did, how could I face the President, let alone the many people under my command?

Herald gritted his teeth. No... I can't be that unlucky. I will definitely be able to dodge this.

Even though he kept reassuring himself, he just couldn't pull the trigger.

With a single shot, he would blow his own brains out.

Who had the guts to do this?

Sweat began to seep incessantly from the palm of his hand that held the gun.

“Mr. Cook... if you really can't continue, why not just give us the island?” Ashlyn smirked, leaning in close to Herald.

The man stared at her in surprise, noticing that the woman before him had skin as white and smooth as milk, devoid of any pores or blemishes.

This woman... is so radiantly beautiful. No, I don't want her to look down on me.

Everyone was staring at Ashlyn in disbelief.

How can this woman be so audacious? She actually forced Herald to beg for mercy. She actually forced Herald to give up the island.

Herald grimaced, his heart instantly becoming cold.

However, he simply didn't want to be looked down upon by Ashlyn.
