My One In A Million Wife (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 214

My one in a million wife [Ashlyn and Lucas] chapter 214

Isn’t this practically a brainwash session like those pyramid schemes?

Ashlyn saw how serious the upper-class women looked while listening to Sienna’s speech. Some even nodded in agreement.

She blinked.

Maybe those who had just arrived at the tea party might not fall for it.

But things could be different as time passed.

Sienna was obviously an expert in brainwashing others. She had manipulated the feelings of these rich women and socialites numerous times.

Her words were completely baseless.

Just as Ashlyn fiddled with her own nails in boredom, she heard a familiar voice coming from nearby. “Boohoo… I’m so sorry to hear that. My brother didn’t give me much to spare, but I’ll… I’ll give you a hundred grand for now.”

Naomi Nolan?

Ashlyn raised a brow and glanced in the direction of the voice. There, she saw Naomi sobbing away as a young man knelt in front of her.

The man’s eyes were glistening, but he tried his best to not let any tears fall.

That made him look even more convincing.

“Thank you. I’m so glad I met you at my lowest and most vulnerable. You’re my lucky star.”

Ashlyn was speechless.

What did this guy go through now?

Just as Naomi took out her bank card and was about to swipe it, Ashlyn walked over and grabbed her by the hand. “You’re giving away a hundred grand just like that? Do you want your brother to freeze your account again?”

“Ugh! Who are you? Why are you getting in my business?” Naomi raged. She was so engrossed in the man’s sappy narrative that she didn’t even glance at Ashlyn.

Ashlyn chuckled softly. “You don’t know who I am?”

Why does this voice sound so familiar?

Naomi turned her head and caught sight of Ashlyn’s stunning face.

“What… What are you doing here?” she asked in shock.

“I told you to do better in school if you’re that dumb,” Ashlyn replied while pointing to her own head. “Did a dog eat your brains?”

“How could you say that to me?” Naomi muttered.

Had it been before, she would have exploded the moment Ashlyn insulted her like this.

But ever since Ashlyn had saved her, she became the woman’s loyal fangirl and absolutely idolized her.

“I feel so sorry for him,” Naomi explained while grabbing hold of Ashlyn’s arm. “He’s had sepsis ever since he was young, but his grades are still amazing and he always tops his class. It’s just unfortunate that he can’t afford the hospital bills. I’ve always looked up to intellectuals.”

“Is that so? Well, I happen to be a doctor, so why don’t I give you a check-up?” Ashlyn remarked, smiling at the young man before her.

The man wasn’t of tall stature but had a gorgeous pair of eyes.

He couldn’t help but feel irked over Ashlyn suddenly showing up when he was just about to receive his money. She’s insanely beautiful, but she’s still a b**** for getting in my way.

Still, the chap dared not express his dissatisfaction. He could only bite the bullet and answer, “I-It’s okay. I should probably go to the hospital for treatment instead.”

Then, he quickly turned to Naomi. “Please swipe the card, Miss. I’ll remember your kindness for the rest of my life.”

“Her allowance has been reduced, so she doesn’t have enough money for you. Go find someone else for help,” Ashlyn said coldly as she snatched Naomi’s card.

The man was dumbfounded.

“Huh? Didn’t… Didn’t you just say you’d give me the money?”

“What’s your name?” Ashlyn gazed at the man with frosty eyes.

For unknown reasons, the man’s voice began to shake as Ashlyn’s eyes fell on him. “I’m… I’m Jeremy Halliwell.”

“Which school do you go to?”

“University T.”

“Great,” Ashlyn responded before dialing Jared’s number. “Give me some information on Jeremy Halliwell from University T.”

The man’s eyes were instantly filled with panic. “What do you mean by that? Why are you trying to look me up?”
