Spencer walked up to Ashlyn at this time and respectfully took the phone from her before he projected it on the projector screen in the conference room.
Everyone immediately saw the disturbing scene, whereby a disheveled-looking woman was playing with a toy in the corner of the hotel’s private room.
Her moaning and slutty posture were extremely hard on the eyes.
Everyone in the meeting room was watching Penelope play with the toy.
Meanwhile, Penelope slumped down on the ground in tears. “No, no… that’s not me. It really isn’t me! It’s all Ashlyn’s fault. It’s all because of you, Ashlyn!”
Jerry struggled to get up from the ground and gave Penelope a hard slap on the face. “You’re a whore and a slut!”
With her hand over her cheek that had just been slapped by Jerry, Penelope bawled, “I was framed by Ashlyn! How could you beat me when you don’t even avenge me?”
All of a sudden, she took out a scalpel and wielded it towards Ashlyn.
She moved so fast, shocking everyone.
Just when the scalpel was about two centimeters away from Ashlyn, who was about to jump up from her seat to dodge it, a dagger suddenly pierced Penelope’s wrist. The scalpel she was wielding dropped to the ground.
Penelope fell to the ground holding her wrist, screaming in pain.
Ashlyn looked up and saw Lucas, who had a gloomy expression on his face.
He was taking the handkerchief Spencer had handed over and wiping his fingers gracefully.
Even if Lucas hadn’t helped her just now, she could have dodged it.
She hadn’t expected him to actually help her.
Not only am I shocked that Lucas saved me, but I also feel warm deep down. What’s wrong with me?
Ashlyn shook her head to shake those thoughts out of her mind.
The most important thing now was that she had to find a way to figure out who was the man and woman who sold her mother to the village.
Mom obviously didn’t meet a car accident; she was being trafficked instead.
Since there was no car accident, where did my sister go? Was she trafficked too? She was still so young then…
The thought of her mother and sister suffering somewhere made Ashlyn anxious and uneasy.
However, how should I begin after so many years have passed?
It was not easy to find someone in this big world.
It was different from now, whereby she could find out where one was as long as she could track the other party’s activity with her hacking skills.
The incident had happened so many years ago. Any traces would have long disappeared with time. There was simply no way to even start the search.
Ashlyn sighed.
All the doctors and nurses walked out of the meeting room after it was confirmed that Penelope and both the Shermans were sacked.
Peace was restored at the hospital.
As soon as Ashlyn went into her office, Lucas came.
Before she could close the door, he lifted his leg and wedged it between the door frame and door, refusing to let her close it.
“What do you want, Mr. Nolan?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ashlyn got hit on the door panel in the shoulder. Overwhelmed by the pain, she couldn’t help but groan, “Ahh—”
Lucas held Ashlyn’s shoulder with one hand while wrapping the other around her waist.
He could feel her soft and tiny waist through the thin fabric of her white coat.
He couldn’t help but hold his breath. Even though he was familiar with her body, he still couldn’t help but feel impressed again.
Is she made of water? She’s amazingly soft.
With her back firmly pressed against the door panel, and her waist grasped by the man, Ashlyn twisted her body. She said, feeling a little annoyed, “Lucas Nolan, don’t ever think you can do whatever you want just because you’ve become the major shareholder of the hospital.”
A faint smile appeared on Lucas’ handsome face, and his chest began vibrating slightly with laughter, causing the muscles under his black shirt to tighten, revealing the sexy outline.
Parting his lips, he said nonchalantly, “I did nothing, Honey. Why are you so nervous?”
Nervous? Me? Ashlyn was speechless. I just feel pain after being pinned against the door!
