My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 932

Chapter 932

Hera was the host of the auction. So what if Charlotte wins the championship? She still doesn’t have any connection.

Under normal circumstances, the host of a large-scale auction like that, organized by the higher-ups, no less, must be someone with considerable experience and a certain level of fame. The host should also be equipped with the eloquence to hold the audience and create a lively ambiance.

Most importantly, they must be able to persuade the guests to contribute to the fundraising.

That was the key.

Hera felt she would have a bright future ahead if she could impress the higher-ups with her performance. She had put in a lot of effort and made some sacrifices to secure the opportunity to host that event.

After landing the job, she gained a lot of attention. Before the auction officially started, she dressed up glamorously and rubbed shoulders with the big shots. Hera played the role of a social butterfly by relying on her gorgeous appearance and sweet voice.

Right then, there was a small and sudden commotion at the entrance.

She casually glanced in that direction and saw the crowd parting as a handsome man and a beautiful woman walked in.

That man was tall and hunky, while the woman was regal and elegant.

Behind her were another two couples. All of them dressed up extravagantly and were eye-catching.

When Hera noticed the familiar face, she gritted her teeth. Ashlyn! That despicable woman is also here. She even preened herself to look so attractive.

Ashlyn and Lucas rarely appeared as a couple in public.

That seemed to be their first public appearance together since they announced their relationship as husband and wife.

They immediately attracted everyone’s attention as soon as they showed up, stealing even the limelight of the top idol, Jonathan.

Their presence instantaneously lifted the liveliness of the entire venue.

The higher-ups were honored to have Ashlyn and Lucas attending the event together, and perhaps only they had the influence to convince the couple to show up.

Participating in such activities that could express their support to the higher-ups and also be involved in a charity auction for disaster relief was a must.

Otherwise, the higher-ups could blacklist anyone who wasn’t supportive at any moment.

Almost everyone in the entertainment industry came, including all the prominent figures in Lake City.

Even those with slight significant stature in society were all there.

They couldn’t miss that event as that was the perfect opportunity for them to impress the higher-ups.

Many people were aware of the gown incident that happened earlier in the first-floor lobby, but some who arrived early didn’t know about it.

After Lucas greeted a few of Nolan Group’s business partners, he went to sit around the seats provided by the organizers with Ashlyn.

Winsor and Tinsor sat in the row behind them. Blair and Tinsor sat next to each other. After the previous incident, the two had become inseparable friends who had been through hardships together.

Noticing Ashlyn, Blair grinned and waved at her, completely disregarding his brother. “Ashlyn, Ashlyn, I’m here.”

Ever since the last time Tinsor had caused Ashlyn to be caught in a dangerous situation, he had been ridden with guilt. The once zestful young man now appeared somewhat shy. “Ashlyn, are you feeling better now?”

He had been punished by Patrick to kneel for three days and nights until his knees swelled. It took him a week of recuperation to barely be able to get out of bed and walk.

He had planned to apologize to Ashlyn in person, but she had gone abroad again.

Meeting with Ashlyn at that moment prompted anxiety and guilt to surge within his chest.

Tinsor even spoke in an exceptionally low voice as he was afraid to face the disdainful look in Ashlyn’s eyes when she saw him.

He feared his female idol would never pay attention to him again.

“I’m fine. Spend more time practicing self-defense skills with Blair whenever you’re free, so you won’t always be so weak. The Jaquin family’s methods are really not as good as the plan I set up.”

Ashlyn curled her lips into a smile, gazing at the two young men with a hint of warmth in her eyes.

“Mr. Nolan.”

Tinsor looked up in excitement, but before he could express his joy and relief that Ashlyn didn’t hold him accountable or stay mad at him, he heard a delicate voice calling out to Lucas.
