“Did you call me just to say this?” Ashlyn replied coldly.
“Mr. Haddock invited our whole family to a meal tomorrow, and you need to show up. If you don’t, we’ll stir up trouble in your hospital and interfere with your work,” Horace yelled angrily.
Ashlyn responded with an impatient tone, “Is this really how you’re inviting me to a meal?”
“Mr. Haddock has his ways of making you show up if you don’t attend the meal tomorrow.” Horace hung up immediately after that.
Ashlyn watched as her phone’s screen turned dark as she put her phone away.
Why is Dixon suddenly in good terms with Horace again?
Why did he invite the Berry family to a meal?
Something very weird is going on.
Just as she was lost in thought, Harrison sent a message to her.
“Boss, it’s from the Haddock Group.”
No wonder.
A hint of derision flashed in Ashlyn’s eyes as she replied, “Keep a close eye on the Haddock Group and Berry Furnishings. Report to me if you see anything suspicious.”
“Alright.”
“Don’t be sad.” A man’s warm and alluring voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
After which, a warm hand caressed the back of her hands which felt a little cold.
Ashlyn was at a loss for words.
What do you mean by saying don’t be sad?
She looked up in confusion and saw that Lucas was staring at her with a sentimental gaze.
His gaze was also laced with a hint of passionate desire.
“What do you mean ‘don’t be sad’?” Ashlyn wanted to break free from his clasp.
However, Lucas held on even tighter, and she couldn’t free herself no matter how hard she tried.
“I will take care of you from now on. Those people are not important.”
A ray of warm sunlight was cast on Lucas’ face through the car’s window, and it illuminated his warm and affectionate expression.
