“Your memory is incredibly sharp,” Spencer exclaimed in astonishment. “What if he shuffled like crazy? What if he frantically shuffled the cards?”
“The same principle applies to crazy shuffling! All the cards I shuffled were arranged by me, four ones, four twos, all in this order. No matter how he shuffled, these cards would be messed up. But because of the previous arrangement, he couldn't have shuffled it around so much.”
Spencer looked at Ashlyn with eyes full of admiration.
Ms. Berry is indeed impressive. She can handle even this kind of thing very well.
“Don't idolize me. I'm merely a legend.”
Ashlyn's cool voice rang out.
Spencer's face darkened as he realized he had been staring blankly at Ashlyn.
He felt somewhat awkward.
He was actually so captivated by Ashlyn that he was left speechless.
Ashlyn ignored him and nestled in Lucas' arms lazily.
A hint of a joyful smile played at the corners of her lips. She was in a good mood, having helped Lucas.
Obtaining the proprietorship, right of use, and mining rights of a small island was a really good deal.
“Honey.”
A deep, mellow voice suddenly sounded from above her head. Upon hearing this, Ashlyn looked up, only to see Lucas gazing down at her.
In those profound, pitch-black eyes, there was not a hint of his usual indifference, only affection.
Ashlyn's lips parted slightly as she asked, “What's wrong?”
“What reward do you want?”
Lucas' gaze was filled with adoration. He gently caressed the woman's sharp and charming chin. The silky smoothness of her skin made him reluctant to let go.
Not only did she amaze him today, but she also made his heart flutter and mesmerized him.
Reward?
Ashlyn's delicate face was practically glowing, while Lucas had the chiseled features of a male model.
Just then, Spencer hit the brakes hard.
The car let out a piercing screech as it came to an abrupt halt.
Lucas held the woman in his arms tightly, ensuring she wouldn't get hurt.
Frowning, he asked, “What's wrong?”
“A woman suddenly rushed out...” Spencer's face turned pale. He had almost run into someone just now.
Ashlyn squinted her eyes, looking at the woman who had suddenly appeared in front of the car.
The woman's hair was disheveled, strands scattered about, but on her beautiful face was an expression so pitiful, it was impossible not to feel a surge of affection for her.
She was holding the hand of a little girl who looked to be about five years old. The little girl had a pale and thin face, appearing as if she had been malnourished for a long time. However, one could vaguely see that her facial features were extremely beautiful, bearing some resemblance to the woman.
