Lucas remembered his goal of coming here. Under his lead, Nolan Group had been growing steadily over the years. Thus, he was regarded as a handsome young elite in the business world and gained a lot of attention.
However, Ashlyn was a new face in the crowd, and her beauty instantly drew everyone's gazes.
Almost all the people who were staring at Lucas were women.
Judging by their hungry stares, it wasn't hard to tell what they were thinking.
At that moment, all Lucas wanted to do was protect Ashlyn from other men.
Two men sat down at the table in the corner and shot cold glares at Lucas.
“Take pictures of them and send them to Mr. Nolan.”
“Understood.”
When Franklin received the photos, his expression turned extremely grim.
“What's so special about this woman that made Lucas disobey me?”
“Dear, calm down.” Livia stroked Franklin's chest and said, “Remember, we still have a trump card. Besides, the effects of Naomi's poison are about to show.”
“You're right, darling,” Franklin said with a smirk. “When that happens, Lucas will definitely come begging and fall under our control again!”
The way the couple spoke was as if Naomi wasn't their daughter.
Instead, it was as if she was just a stray on the street that didn't matter to them at all.
Meanwhile, at the plastic surgery department in a hospital in Maredania.
A thin girl was lying quietly on the hospital bed.
Her face was covered with white gauze. At that moment, her perfectly shaped eyes were closed, and her long and thick eyelashes fluttered on her face like butterflies.
Suddenly, a tall man entered the ward with a lunch box in his hand. When he saw that she was still asleep, he softly placed the box on the table.
Although his movements were subtle, the girl heard the noise and woke up.
She trembled and slowly opened her eyes.
When she saw the man's familiar face, her lips curled into a smile, and the atmosphere instantly turned sweet and loving. “Hey, Joseph.”
