My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 646

Chapter 646

This man seemed to be a stubborn one, for no matter how many times he was humiliated, he just wouldn’t change his bad habits.

The event’s official host was a reputable professor from a well-known university in Maredania, not some emcee from the showbiz.

A lot of the figureheads present that day were students of this professor, which explained why they held high respect for the professor.

Everything started accordingly after the professor was done giving his welcoming speech.

The summit was scheduled for three days.

The first day’s events included the speeches given by the leaders of the companies that grew the most in two years.

The second day was a knowledge exchange session where the participants shared their experience and knowledge, while the third day was a tour around Maredania to experience the local culture and traditions.

After the host was done arranging the meetings, he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, next up, we have a legend, who in two years led Centennial Healthcare into numerous groundbreaking achievements that many couldn’t achieve! She is one who creates miracles and shatters stereotypes! Let us welcome the chairperson of Centennial Healthcare!”

Meanwhile, that man, whose presence was undeniably enormous, was seated there while maintaining an emotionless expression on his handsome face.

But…

Suspicion rose within Lucas as he pondered, for he had always thought Jared was Centennial Healthcare’s president. Since when was there a chairperson? Besides, Centennial Healthcare has been growing rapidly for the past few years, and the president has always been Jared.

It was not just Lucas in shock as the other figureheads were also whispering into each other ears.

“Heh, Centennial Healthcare really is secretive! There’s actually a chairperson?”

“I thought the head has always been Mr. Quickton alone!”

“So there’s actually another person that is superior to Mr. Quickton?”

Spencer was a little surprised, and he said, “Mr. Nolan, do you think the chairperson of Centennial Healthcare is an old lady?”

With that said, his eyes uncontrollably shifted toward Jared and Ashlyn. He, however, was soon met by surprise and shock when he secretly scrutinized the duo.

“M-Mr. Nolan… There! Over there! Look!”

“What are you so surprised of? Do you have any idea what kind of venue you’re attending right now?”

“No… It’s Ms. Berry! She… She—”

Before Spencer even managed to finish his words, Lucas had already heard a familiar voice coming out from the speakers installed in the venue.

“Hello, My name is Ashlyn Berry, and I’m the chairperson of Centennial Healthcare.”

Ashlyn… Chairperson… Huh?

Lucas’ razor-sharp gaze slowly shifted toward the center of the stage as if he was in bullet time, just like in a movie.

The person that entered his vision was a lady donned in fully white business attire. With a presence not to be ignored, she stood behind the microphone while the spotlight shone onto her slender and curvaceous body and beautiful face.

Lucas felt like his heart was being seized by an unknown force after seeing her.

His heart pounded quickly as his eyes set on the lady, and he felt like his breath was taken away.

Whatever he saw came like a bolt from the blue.

How was he not going to be caught off guard?

The shock he received was far stronger than when he found out that the lady was a famed doctor. He dared not believe what he saw to the extent that he felt like there was a crack on his handsome face. His jet black eyes locked on the lady standing on the stage, who was seemingly shining bright like a diamond!

No wonder Jared brought her here! Now it all makes sense how there was only vague respect and obedience in Jared’s eyes instead of love when he looked at her, and why Jared was so calm when he sent her to my place when the Spirogyra flared up. So they are not a couple as they were rumored to be…

This was all because Jared was just her subordinate, and the two twin brothers were also just her subordinates undoubtedly.

As for Lucas himself, he had been kept away from the truth, which also meant that he was jealous of mere subordinates all this while.

He shut his eyes to the scene happening right now, for his brain kept reminding him of all the idiotic things he did.

“On behalf of Centennial Healthcare, I thank you all for recognizing and acknowledging us, and we are deeply grateful for your encouragement and care,” said Ashlyn.
