My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 401

Chapter 401

“Dr. Berry, I know that you’re a magnanimous woman, so please don’t get angry at Matt. I’ll be sure to give him a stern lecture later. He must have been tricked by that woman and had a misunderstanding. He’s a shame on T University!” Principal Potter babbled his apologies as unease flowed through him.

Yet, Lucas’ eyebrows were knitted, and he remained silent. Nobody could tell what he was thinking.

Principal Potter was worried that Lucas might turn his anger on him and the various other heads of department at the table.

And here he had been hoping to invite Lucas and Ashlyn as VIP guests to Graduation Night…

Now, everything was at risk because of that damn Matt. He would throttle the man himself if anything happened.

No wonder their School of Medicine could never compete with Zenith University!

With a crazy associate dean like Matt, how could their School of Medicine possibly develop and prosper?

How infuriating!

He was so mad he was tempted to rush over and beat the crap out of Matt right now.

“Principal Potter, you don’t have to act like that,” Ashlyn smiled, “Mr. Zane is his own man. What he does or says is not your fault. Since I already agreed to come and give a talk, I’ll keep my promise.”

“You’re a kind and amazing woman, Ms. Berry.” The principal breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Ashlyn would not go back on her words.

“I had always wondered why T University was unable to rank higher among the universities. Now I know why.”

Lucas’ expression was dark. Anyone who dared to upset his woman should not expect an ounce of respect on his part.

Does this Matt Zane have a death wish? How dare he publicly shame my woman? Penelope as well. Looks like she hasn’t learned her lesson yet. Even now, she still dares to trouble Ashlyn.

He had thought that after the incident at the hospital, Penelope would back away – which would be the smartest thing to do.

But it seemed like he was wrong.

Snorting, he gestured for Spencer to come closer and whispered something in his ear.

Nodding, Spencer turned to leave.

Ashlyn raised an eyebrow, wondering what the man was up to this time.

In response, he grabbed her hand and said, “Anybody who dares to bully you should not expect to have mercy from me.”

His words had her speechless.

Was I being bullied?

Puh-lease, a crazy woman like Penelope does not even deserve my attention or time.

But then, Lucas seems very keen on helping her deal with these scumbags?

Inexplicably, a surge of warmth suffused her along with a strange sense of serenity.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen of Imperial Hotel.

Howard was personally cooking the dishes that Ashlyn ordered. Immediately after each dish was done, a waiter would deliver it to her table.

“Chef Howard, Ms. Berry is here. Aren’t you going to head outside to see her?” another chef teased.

Howard smiled with an innocent look on his face. “There are a lot of people around Lyn now. The last time I went over, she was too busy to talk to me. If I go over today and she still won’t talk to me, then I’ll be really unhappy.”

“Chef Howard, you’re so handsome and good at cooking. Ms. Berry should be really happy to see you. Why would she ignore you?” yet another chef queried.

Howard merely gave them a silly grin, looking innocent and harmless.

This was a stark contrast to his tall and broad figure.

The waitresses who were in the kitchen could not help blushing at how adorable he looked. His muscular build only added points to his charm.

Howard walked toward the entrance to the kitchen and stuck his head out to have a look at the dining area outside.

Sweeping his gaze around, he finally spotted Ashlyn’s table.

However, when he saw the man sitting beside her, the smile on his face visibly froze before vanishing.

That man again!

Ashlyn also ate with that man the last time she was here.

That man was fierce and domineering, clearly not someone one wanted to offend.

Howard narrowed his eyes as anger burned in him.
