My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 975

Chapter 975 More Than Meets The Eye

Dixon answered expressionlessly, “You jest, Ms. Berry. What happened was either a natural disaster or an accident. No one could’ve prevented it. Anyway, I hear that you're a woman of many talents. Not only are you a designer but also a film producer. Are you looking for someone to invest in your latest movie, True Magnate? How about counting me in?”

"Sorry, but my husband and I are the sole investors, and we don't plan on getting anyone else in,” Ashlyn responded with a smirk. What a joke! I've no wish to have anything to do with him!

Lucas wrapped an arm around her slender waist in a familiar manner, then said frostily, “Mr. Haddock, I believe you'll be in need of money as rebuilding an office building costs a pretty penny.

Here's one million. Take it for any emergencies.”

He took out a bank card and handed it to Dixon.

Dixon's expression turned grim, and there was a tinge of darkness to his fury. His gaze was vicious as he glared at Lucas' handsome face. “Mr. Nolan, is this your way of sending away a beggar? Do I look like someone who lacks such money?”

He's doing this on purpose. He's deliberately humiliating me!

The already livid Dixon felt as though he was about to explode with rage at Lucas' provocations, but he restrained himself.

Although I fell into his trap this time, I'll make him pay for his actions with interest next time!

Just then, Sienna took the bank card with a smile. “Thank you for the kind gesture, Mr. Nolan. Mr. Haddock isn't in a good mood, so his reply was somewhat blunt.”

“Ms. Oates is indeed gracious and broad-minded.” Lucas' lips curved into a slight smile as he glanced at Dixon, whose face was as black as thunder.

Indeed, I'm just here to add insult to injury. Back then, Ashlyn's Imperial Hotel got destroyed. Now, I've burned Haddock Group's office building. I suppose one can say... things are even between us now. Anyway, there were so many people inside Imperial Hotel when that happened. There were so many guests. However, Haddock Group was empty except for a few security guards, and they were all rescued. Hence, Ashlyn is still the one who suffered a greater loss.
