My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 1253

Chapter 1253 Overturning The Case

Spencer was awestruck.

Wow. Ms. Berry is a wonderful girlfriend to have! What a virtuous woman she is!

He decisively captured the scene.

Slightly disappointed, Chester shrugged his shoulders and extended his hand toward her. “Can we at least shake hands, then?”

Ashlyn put away the folder and rested her hand on his large, warm palm. “You're very handsome. I believe you'll have a promising future ahead of you. All right, I'll be heading up first.”

Handsome... I'm handsome...

Even after Ashlyn left, Chester stood still in his place, unable to believe what he had heard.

She says I'm handsome!

Many, regardless of their gender and age, had complimented him for his looks. Yet, he had long gotten immune to that.

Only Ashlyn's compliment made him feel valued. He thought it sounded better than any other he had ever received.

At the same time when Ashlyn turned around, Spencer hastily slipped into the emergency staircase.

After sneaking in, he immediately sent Lucas a WhatsApp message.

In it, he included the video he had just captured.

Entering the elevator, Ashlyn promptly pressed the floor number.

In the meantime, Lucas sat before the desk in Joseph's room, studying the evidence.

He was incredibly focused, holding a pen and making notes as he flipped through the documents.

Clad in casual clothes, Joseph was sitting beside him. A hint of nervousness tinted his expression.

Charlotte was sitting not too far away from him. She was holding a phone in her hand and taking occasional glances at the door, almost as if she was waiting for someone.

She was wearing a long pink dress. Fortunately, the room was comfortably warm, enhancing her skin's glossy sheen.

Had it been the outdoors, she probably would not have dared to dress like this.

“How is it? Do we have enough evidence?”

Joseph looked at Lucas anxiously. If we don't have sufficient evidence, then the possibility of Dad's clearing his name...

“It'll only have a minor effect. Section Six also found some evidence that needs to be compiled. However, I estimate there's only a fifty percent chance to overturn the case.”

Lucas frowned as he closed the folder. “Overturning a case is no small matter. The other party presented substantial evidence when they reported Mr. Field. The possibility of us completely overturning the case isn't very high.”

Talking about Section Six, why hasn't Spencer come up yet?

Lucas pulled out his phone. The moment he unlocked it, he saw a new message on WhatsApp.

It was a message from Spencer.

A flicker of astonishment flashed across his handsome face as he opened it.

Ashlyn's voice reached his ears, unchanged.

She was heard saying that she had a boyfriend...

Lucas's heart began pounding wildly. A wealth of warmth suffused him...

A myriad of thoughts exploded in his mind, like fireworks illuminating the sky.

But when he heard Ashlyn praising Chester for his good looks at the end of the video, his face soured at once.

Am I not handsome? The nerve of her to praise another man on his good looks!

He was extremely jealous.

At that moment, just as he was overwhelmed by immense jealousy, a firm knock rapped against the door.

Bored, Charlotte immediately sprang to her feet. “I'll go open the door.”

A tall and aloof woman stood outside as the door swung open. On her beautiful face, the pair of black, almond-shaped eyes were shimmering with a glacier-like glint.

Upon seeing Charlotte, Ashlyn reached out and pinched the former's cheek. “We haven't seen each other for a while; how come you've lost so much weight? Has Joseph not been feeding you?”

Charlotte's face reddened slightly, and she shyly replied, “That's not it. It's just that I'm not quite used to the environment here.”

The climate here was dry and bitterly cold. There were also intense sandstorms that would occur almost daily.

Those who lived in the southern region could certainly not stand the weather.

Additionally, the food was not to her liking.

That was why she was a little unacclimatized.

“Don't worry. I'll whip up a feast for you once we return to Lake City.” Ashlyn flashed a smile and followed Charlotte into the room.

She was about to shut the door after stepping in when she heard Spencer's slightly panting voice from behind her. “Hey! Don't close the door!”

Ashlyn whipped her head around, only to see Spencer emerge from the emergency staircase, his forehead covered with beads of sweat.
