My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 795

Chapter 795

As Nicholas stared at Ashlyn’s beautiful and enthralling countenance, he finally snapped out of his daze.

Ever since she made her appearance, he could not shake off the inexplicable sense of familiarity within him. Her profile was exceedingly familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen her before.

Nonetheless, he truly could not stand Mary, Penelope, and Susan’s actions.

“My brother is right. Ms. Canter, Ms. Penelope, and Mdm. Blackwood must apologize to Ms. Ashlyn.”

Mary’s vision went black for a moment.

Back at H Nation, Ryan forced me to apologize to Ashlyn. Why is it that in Maredania now, I’m coerced by these few big shots to apologize again? What exactly do I owe her?

Bianca’s face flushed bright red. All her dignity and prestige had been destroyed by Mary.

“Apologize to Ms. Ashlyn.”

At that, Mary’s eyes went wide in disbelief.

“Mom! How could you say that as well? I’m your daughter, Mom!”

“It’s because you’re my daughter that you’ve got to have more of a sense of responsibility and take responsibility for something you’ve done,” Bianca asserted sharply, her voice forceful and sonorous. It was as though she was still the unyielding female general who went on the battlefield back then.

Humiliated, Mary turned to Ashlyn.

However, she simply could not bring herself to apologize to the latter in front of everyone.

“It looks like Ms. Canter doesn’t want to apologize to my wife. In that case, shouldn’t the Yates family give my wife an explanation?”

Out of the blue, an icy voice rang out from the hall entrance.

Squinting, Ashlyn gazed at the tall figure standing against the light. Appearing like a knight on horseback, the man effortlessly snagged everyone’s attention.

As his luxurious black leather shoes trod on the ground, every single step carried a strong aura, reflecting on his face and emanating off his entire body.

Every gesture of his spoke of authority and power.

Everywhere Lucas went, he was the center of attention.

He swept his gaze over the crowd in the hall, a hint of contempt showing on his frosty expression.

When his sharp gaze landed on Ashlyn, the coldness within his unfathomable eyes promptly turned into faint affection.

Ashlyn could hear his familiar footsteps gradually drawing closer to her.

At long last, he stopped right in front of her. “Did I arrive in time, Honey?”

While saying that, he cast his eyes downward, locking gazes with her lovely eyes in close proximity. “Honey.”

Ashlyn blinked, her lips curving into a cool and peeved smirk. He actually came over? Her disgruntled gaze fell on Spencer, who was behind the man.

Feeling guilty, Spencer did not dare to look at her.

I can’t do anything to stop Mr. Nolan when he insists on coming!

“Carry it in,” Lucas ordered in a deep voice.

A few tall and muscular men in black proceeded to carry a lacquered mahogany box in before placing it down heavily in the middle of the hall.

Then, they all left.

After retracting his gaze, Lucas nonchalantly swept his cold gaze over the crowd. “This is my birthday gift for you, Old Mrs. Yates.”

His voice was low, tinged with a hint of iciness.

It carried an indescribable sense of chilliness that penetrated deep into the marrow of everyone present, making them shudder in fear.

“Ms. Canter, back when you were Mrs. Berry, you enjoyed infinite glory.” A smile hovered over his lips, but his words cut into Mary like a knife.

Why is he bringing up the Berry family all of a sudden?

Mary’s heart was in her throat. “Mr. Nolan, what… what exactly are you trying to say?”

“Don’t you want to take a look at the contents of this box, Ms. Canter?” Lucas looked at Spencer with a smile.

Instantly discerning the man’s meaning, Spencer opened the huge box.

Almost everyone present fixated their eyes on the box, curious to know the contents of it.

By then, Bianca’s expression had turned as black as thunder.

He’s definitely up to no good! This young man is either affluent or prominent. His aura is exceptional, and he radiates nobility and aloofness. One can tell that he’s no ordinary person at a single glance!

“Ah…”

A moan drifted into the ears of everyone present.

In a flash, the crowd gaped at the box in astonishment. There’s actually someone in there, a living person?
