My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 534

Chapter 534

“I am surprised to see so many people interested in that movie.” Jared walked over with a plate of fruits in his hand and sat beside Ashlyn.

Ashlyn took a strawberry and shoved it into her mouth. “Greg’s comeback is bound to attract attention. Of course everyone would be curious.”

Hesitation flashed across Jared’s eyes as he said, “Boss, I don’t know if I should tell you this.”

“What?”

“Mr. Nolan invested three hundred million in that movie.”

Ashlyn’s hand, which was holding the strawberry, paused mid-air, then she looked up and met Jared’s gaze in disbelief. “What did you just say?”

Jared had no choice but to steel himself and explained everything to her.

“Is he crazy?” Ashlyn frowned and whipped out her phone to call Lucas.

It was a rare occurrence for her to call Lucas, hence...

In the hospital right across the street, Lucas’ lips curled up into a smile when he saw her name appear on the screen of his phone. Even his eyes lit up in delight.

“Hello,” he greeted her with his deep and husky voice.

Upon hearing his sexy voice, Ashlyn’s ears burned, and she nearly flung her phone away.

After taking a deep breath, she uttered, “Have you gone crazy? Why did you invest three hundred million?”

“Oh, do you mean the movie?” Hearing that it was about work, Lucas’ enthusiasm dimmed. A hint of displeasure entered his voice. “Can’t I invest in your movie?”

Mr. Nolan, you sound like a fatuous ruler!

Spencer couldn’t help but chide silently.

“But you invested too much!” Ashlyn couldn’t understand how his mind worked. “Greg said three hundred million would be enough, and I gave it to him already. So why did you make that investment? Do you have too much money but nowhere to spend it? Greg doesn’t need that much money.”

“Honey, I need to support your work and dreams through my actions, not just through words.” Lucas’ words sounded over the phone like a sensuous and melodious cello.

Lying on the hospital bed with a pillow propped behind him, Lucas started imagining how touched Ashlyn would be at his generous gesture.

“I have money, so you didn’t have to do that.”

Alas, Ashlyn’s reply crushed his weird fantasy instantly.
