Chapter 1045 I Came Because Of You
Everyone who knew Ashlyn in the past had said she was trash that was not worth mentioning. As a result, the disdainful and mocking gazes toward Ashlyn grew stronger. It was as if they were saying, “Why don't you hurry up and leave? Do you need us to curse you before you're willing to leave?”
Ashlyn couldn't be bothered with these two idiots. These two women were annoying wherever they went. What was the big deal about them visiting a patient? Why were they dawdling and babbling about irrelevant things? Feeling irritated, she glanced at Trevor and said, “I came because of you. Since I'm not needed here, I'll leave.”
“Don't go, Boss! Please, don't go. My grandfather can only recover with you around! I can't trust anyone else.” Trevor reached out to pull her. Suddenly, a long and powerful arm embraced Ashlyn directly, and a man with a handsome face that resembled a god scanned everyone with sharp eyes, exuding an intimidating dominance. “When has my woman ever been treated with such disrespect? Since you all aren't earnest, don't blame us for not showing grace.” The man's voice was as cold as ice shards, carrying with it a chilling undertone. Most of the people present were wealthy and influential, and they all froze in place, feeling an icy chill sweep over them.
Who is this man exactly? He seems vaguely familiar.
Suddenly, the elevator opened, and several men stepped out. The middle-aged man leading them gasped and quickly approached.
“Mr. Nolan?” Lucas nodded indifferently at the approaching man.
“Mr. White.” Christian smiled with emotion. “I didn't expect to meet you here after leaving Lake City.” He then turned to Ashlyn without hesitation.
“Ms. Berry, I hope you've been well.” His polite demeanor was truly shocking. Everyone was astonished as they watched this scene unfold. Christian, the head of the White family, was being overly polite to the two of them, and almost excessively so. But what Christian said next was even more shocking, causing everyone's eyes to widen.
“Ms. Berry, are you here to perform surgery on Old Mr. Oates?” Everyone was stunned.
Could this woman really be a renowned doctor?
The White family held a prominent status in Jadeborough comparable to the Oates family. The fact that the head of the White family confidently stated Ashlyn's purpose of coming here, without questioning or asking, was surprising. He was certain! This was becoming quite intriguing. Just as everyone was shocked, Ashlyn nodded calmly.
“Yes, Trevor invited me.” Christian smiled gently, and just a few crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes, befitting his young age.
“Ms. Berry, you're highly skilled in medicine, and there's hope for Old Mr. Oates if it's you.” He then looked at Spencer.
“Spencer is fortunate to accompany you and Mr. Nolan. If there's anything you two need help with, please don't hesitate to ask. Jadeborough is my territory, and we won't let either of you suffer any grievances.”
This was an extraordinary show of respect. Especially that sentence to Spencer... It made almost everyone involuntarily look at the man who had been standing behind Lucas all along. They had heard that the eldest son of the White family. instead of fulfilling his role as the heir, had gone to a small place like Lake City to work as an assistant to some pilot from a certain airline...
The fact that the eldest son of the White family was so unambitious had been the subject of ridicule for a long time. Yet, no matter how the White family begged, they couldn't bring him back. It seems that Mr. White's name is... So, this Mr. Nolan is Mr. White's boss?
Besides, Christian's praise for Ashlyn is a bit too high, isn't it? Is she really that amazing? Finnick's shocked gaze was fixed on Ashlyn's strikingly beautiful face. How could someone so beautiful and young be that amazing?
Ashlyn stood there without any expression, hearing the voices around her. Most of them were mocking Trevor as an idiot and claiming that she was just a decorative piece who couldn't possibly have any medical skills...
