My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 1229

Chapter 1229 Male Chauvinism

Lucas had often met quite a few important figures from Zaewora.

As such, the people there were also aware that Lucas' identity was extraordinary.

Herald also walked over to him. “Mr. Nolan.”

Then, everyone saw him greeting not only Lucas in all politeness but also turning to Ashlyn and saying with equal courtesy, “You look stunningly beautiful today, Ms. Berry.”

Several high-society ladies recognized the necklace on Ashlyn's neck and the earrings she wore as the work of the internationally renowned designer, Ms. X. Their gazes on her carried a mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

X's creations had always been of sky-high price, and that set of jewelry was even a limited edition. They were made from incredibly precious and rare purple diamonds, matching her purple gown perfectly.

She exuded elegance and nobility, her whole being radiating regality.

So what if she's elegant and regal? She's still no different from us, with no standing in the family and status in society. At the end of the day, she's a woman.

When the President saw Herald treating a woman with such respect and courtesy, he found it utterly shameful.

Mr. Cook is really becoming increasingly disgraceful. What's so special about a woman that he needs to greet her? He actually humbled himself to greet her. It's truly a dishonor to his ministerial position!

Looking down upon women from the bottom of his heart, he essentially suffered from a severe case of male chauvinism.

Herald glanced at the president in slight embarrassment. He wanted nothing more than to tell the man all the awesome things that had happened regarding Ashlyn.

He especially wanted to emphasize one thing—she was not to be trifled with, for she was incredibly awesome.

However, the President didn't give him any opportunity or time to do so.

Faint disdain was etched on his face, and he exuded the air of a high and mighty president. “Don't you know you should be more respectful when you speak to me, miss? Since you know I'm the president, you should show me the appropriate respect.”

The President assumed that by flexing his authority, Ashlyn would be terrified since she was just a woman.

Unexpectedly, she actually dared to provoke him again, questioning him fearlessly.

There was a distinct disdain in his eyes, and his voice carried a hint of mockery. “Mr. Nolan, is this lady beside you always so sharp-tongued? A woman should behave accordingly. No matter what, she should obey a man's orders.”

Lucas lifted his handsome face slightly. His gaze, which was as unfathomable as the vast starry sky, carried an inexplicable sense of coldness, and his voice was devoid of emotion. “We have always been equals, Mr. President. She's free to say whatever she likes. It's her freedom.” He paused briefly before adding, “No matter what she does or says, I will always support her.”

At the man's light retort, the President felt very much discomfited inwardly.

Samantha had just watched a fantastic show and felt incredibly gratified, especially after Yuri was again slapped by the President.
