My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 736

Chapter 736

Go ahead and talk about it. I have nothing to lose! Between Grandpa’s intention of appointing Ashlyn as heir to the Chapman family and my failure to stand out in this competition, Lucas’ declaration of Ashlyn being Mrs. Nolan had been the final straw. What else do I have at stake? If I’m going down, Ashlyn’s coming down with me!

“This man and I grew up together. You could say that we were childhood sweethearts. I’d even saved his life once when we were children. Despite being really scared then, I rushed up without thinking about my safety to pull him to his own! I never expected Ashlyn to step in and take him away from me!”

Hera’s eyes turned red as she spoke. She looked at Lucas with tears in her eyes.

“Despite her decent and proper appearance, she’s actually an adulteress specialized in coming between couples!” she continued, her voice breaking in grief. “As a result, I was made out to be the mistress instead and had my reputation dragged through the mud by comments online. Not only did she officially become Mrs. Nolan, but she also used her connections to get the fashion industry to blacklist me! She was the one who stole Lucas, and through her skill at manipulating public opinion, she had me canceled by making me appear as the mistress!”

“I would never have imagined that she was capable of such cruelty,” she went on, near tears by that point. “Have you forgotten how we grew up together, Lucas? Have you forgotten that I’d once risked my life to save you?”

The audience below the stage began making sympathetic noises as they regarded Ashlyn with suspicious hostility in their eyes.

Could the witty and sassy Ashlyn who’s the founder of Saunders Charity, be as awful as Hera claimed?

Fae was so angry that her chest hurt.

What a shameless woman! How can she twist facts to such a degree?

Glancing instinctively at Lucas, she found his expression the darkest she had ever seen. Although his body was hidden in the shadows, a shocking coldness emanated from it.

From her position atop the stage, Hera instantly became the focus of the audience.

The media at the scene frantically took pictures of her lest they missed any part of the shocking news.

Ashlyn, however, could only manage a blank gaze at Hera. I can’t believe someone this shameless could exist on my mother’s side of the family. Mom must be so disappointed.

The coldness in her eyes emanated toward the figure beneath the spotlight.

“Will you come back to me, Lucas? Back to how we were when we were children?”

Hera’s voice was full of sorrow, and she was already in tears. Her wretched appearance successfully evoked the pity of many in the crowd.

They gazed at Lucas and scowled at his heartlessness.

How could you let your childhood sweetheart go to be with a woman like Ashlyn? So what if she plays the piano well? She’s the third wheel here.

The man suddenly stood up from his seat.

Silencing the crowd with his staggering stature, his slender and powerful legs carried him quickly onto the stage toward Hera in a series of purposeful steps.

How dare this woman slander Ashlyn on an international stage? I can tolerate people scolding or even hating me, but I will absolutely not allow anybody to say a single word against my woman!

Hera’s heart leaped with every step he took.

He’s coming. Was he moved by my confession? Is he going to change his mind?

Hera waited with nervous excitement.

She gazed at Lucas with bright eyes until he finally stood before her.

“You still have feelings for me, don’t you?” she blurted with actual tears of joy. “If you’ll just say the word, we’ll start all over. I will try to do whatever she does better!”
