My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 389

Chapter 389

Lucas suddenly said in a solemn tone.

Ashlyn was rendered speechless.

Frowning, she looked at Lucas in displeasure with a face that was filled with annoyance. “Are you out of your mind? Two operations per month are more than enough for me. I’m very busy. I have no time for those miscellaneous chores in the hospital. So cut it out, Lucas, or I’ll resign from the hospital.”

Everyone was shocked that Dr. Berry had actually turned down a promotion and even glared at Mr. Nolan with a look of impatience.

Everyone saw how Jerry had ended up after offending Lucas earlier.

At that moment, Jerry was still lying on the ground wailing in pain. After being beaten black and blue, he looked like a total mess.

Meanwhile, Penelope was staring at Ashlyn with jealousy. How dare this ungrateful and rude woman reject a promotion? Let’s see how Mr. Nolan’s going to deal with her!

Just when she, like everyone else, thought that Ashlyn would be punished severely by Lucas, who was sitting at the head of the table, Penelope saw a look of adoration and resignation wash over the man’s face as he heaved a sigh. “Alright. Do as you please, okay?”

The “okay” at the end of the question sounded as if he was discussing with her with a hint of doting resignation.

Everyone was shocked to the core.

I-Is this the same man who had earlier decisively beaten up Jerry with a grim look on his face?

If the man earlier was like the king of hell who broke out of the battlefield, then the man right now was like a sweet yet manly and domineering president.

The change in his attitude made him a completely different person.

Penelope looked at Ashlyn in devastation, her hands clenched into fists. “You’re going overboard, Ashlyn. You really think you’re very capable, don’t you? You all probably don’t know that she accepted Mr. Haddock’s bribes a few days ago. That’s why she agreed to treat Arthur.”

What happened in the hotel the other day was simply a humiliation for Penelope. She was certain that Ashlyn had made a shady deal with Dixon, which was why she had blurted that out.
