My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 922

Ashlyn woke up early in the morning. She strolled toward the dining room while speaking to Jared on the phone. “How’s the situation in the disaster area? Hmm, I see. Remember to cooperate with Mr. Field while you lead Luigi and the others. Imperial Hotel and Centennial Healthcare care not for fame or fortune. All we want is to save people. Lives are priceless. Thus, all lives deserve to be respected. Remember to call me if anything pops up. I still have matters to attend to today.”

After the call ended, she sat at the dining table. Yesterday was so cold when we shot the cover. Thankfully, I’ve always been physically fit, so I didn’t catch a cold. I wonder how Sharon is doing right now.

She entered a meeting with the executives of Centennial Healthcare and gave them some instructions.

In the end, she typed: We’ll donate all the medicine we produced for the past three days. Send them all to the disaster area overnight, including all the hospitals near the area.

One of the executives replied with a wince: The amount of medicine we produced during the past three days is massive. Are you sure you want to donate all of them?

Ashlyn typed: Yes! All of them. Centennial Healthcare has developed well in recent years, but Jared and I have always been in control of it. It’s because of the lack of interference from outside shareholders that Centennial Healthcare attains its current, wonderful state. I doubt the company could achieve this feat if outside shareholders were involved in the financing and others were allowed to make decisions.

A brief pause ensued before she wrote: So, everything will be fine as long as everyone listens to me. Get this done as quickly as possible.

That executive didn’t have the nerve to refute her and agreed repeatedly.

When Ashlyn lifted her head, she realized Lucas was already sitting across from her.

He was holding a tablet and brushing his slender finger across it.

She lifted her eyebrow and asked, “Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?”

“I’ll be joining the charity auction later at night.” Lucas turned to her as he laid his tablet down. A look of affection swirled in his eyes. “Have you thought about what to auction?”

“Probably jewelry and stuff like that,” answered Ashlyn indifferently.

The auction was held to gather funds for the disaster area.

Almost every prominent figure in Lake City would be there, and companies of many brands would attend it as well.

For example, Alethea had granted her the chance to debut their new gown at the event.

It was an excellent opportunity to gain the public’s goodwill and display loyalty.

Therefore, no bigwig would give up that chance.

Celebrities and idols would be attending the auction as well to spread their love and encouragement for the people in the disaster area.

Almost all recent performances, including shows and songs, were done to gather funds for the disaster area.

In particular, Aiden would be attending the auction too.

It was said that he and his buddies would perform a show together, but the producers didn’t reveal any details.

Ashlyn didn’t pay much attention to that.

After thinking for a while, she raised her head and noticed Lucas was staring at her with knitted eyebrows.

“What are you thinking about?” he asked, displeased. I can’t believe she’s distracted while I’m talking to her.

“It’s nothing. I was just thinking about how fast Aiden grew up. He was only a rookie idol two years ago. Now, he’s a hit all over the country. Not only that, he’s even an actor now.” With a smile, she shook her head.

The moment she brought up Aiden, Lucas’ expression darkened. “He’s only a bit younger, knows how to dance, and—”

Ashlyn cut him off, “Caught my attention. What’s the matter with you? Are you going to tell me the great Mr. Nolan isn’t confident in himself?”

Lucas scowled. “You’re not allowed to keep staring at him tonight.”

“Tch, what a control freak.” Ashlyn lowered her head and began eating breakfast. She could not be bothered to deal with the man. It hasn’t been long, yet he’s acting all crazy again. Can’t he be a little more at peace with himself?
