My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 457

Chapter 457

“AH!”

Hayden let out a loud screech and almost fell to the ground in shock. “W-why are you here?”

Ashlyn Berry! What in the world is that spawn of Satan doing here? Hayden shivered as he recalled the events of that hellish night with Ashlyn in the private room.

His bloodied face turned ashen and his legs became jelly.

Ashlyn looked at him calmly. “I’m here for the lecture.”

Hayden could only stare at her, petrified. The lecture… no wonder Blair and Tinsor were so mad…

He wanted to detonate himself on the spot.

With tears streaming down his face, he pleaded, “I’m sorry, Superheroine! I didn’t know it was you!”

The turn of events shocked everyone around them.

He went from attempting to rope in his brother to avenge him to pleading for Ashlyn’s mercy on the floor.

The crowd erupted in chatter as they glanced at Ashlyn every so often.

Ashlyn took a closer look at Hayden; she finally recognized him. Raising an eyebrow, she asked, “Who are you?”

Hayden started to bawl his eyes out as though the end of the world was near. “I’m Hayden Haddock! I’m sorry! I deserve the beating!”

The two boys in the corner exchanged surprised looks.

They had thought that Ashlyn would give them an earful for stirring up trouble, but they did not expect her to take a jab at Hayden.

Hayden’s behavior satisfied them more than any fight they picked with him.

Everyone stared at Ashlyn and felt her dominating vibe. It made them apprehensive of her.

No wonder Blair and Tinsor beat Hayden up!

Wait a second…did the two of them know Dr. Berry?

Even the principal looked on with a mild shock.

Hayden had been terrorizing the students of University T since day one, and this was the first time he admitted defeat.

“How long more are you guys planning to stay there?” Ashlyn asked suddenly, casting her cold gaze on the two boys in the corner.

We got busted!

The two boys stood up and turned around to face her silently.

They glanced at her for a second before looking down again.

Is she going to scold us? Slap us? Beat us into a pulp?

I’m sure she won’t do that…

She didn’t even do anything to Hayden!

Suddenly, several police officers burst into the lecture theatre.

Captain Lewis had been the one leading the charge, and his eyes lit up the moment he saw Ashlyn. “Ms. Berry!” he greeted her.

Ashlyn nodded. “Apologies for the trouble my two little brothers caused, Sir.”

Little brother?

Tinsor looked up at Ashlyn excitedly.

Is the goddess herself taking me in as her little brother?

“Rest assured that we will deal with the troublemakers accordingly,” Captain Lewis promised as his subordinates hauled Hayden, Blair, and Tinsor into the police car downstairs.

After the police left, the principal turned to Ashlyn and said, “My sincerest apologies, Dr. Berry. I hope this incident did not affect your mood for the day.”

“Of course it didn’t,” she said with a smile. Feeling weak, she prayed that her makeup would hide the fatigue in her eyes. She walked onstage and greeted the students. “Good morning, everyone. I am Ashlyn Berry, a surgeon from the First Hospital. The topic I would like to talk about for today’s lecture is ‘Misdiagnosis of Acute Abdomen As Appendicitis’.”

No one had expected her to talk about that particular topic.

“What is there to talk about?”

“It’s not like they’re serious ailments or anything…”

“I was looking forward to hearing about surgery techniques!”

“I heard that the surgeons at the First Hospital are super adept with scalpels…”

“Quiet! The lecture is starting!”

The students’ excitement began to die down, replaced with mild disappointment.

Ashlyn took in the scene before her with a calm demeanor.
