Chapter 429


    Suddenly, a pale and haggard woman rushed in and shouted, “Reedman!”


    p!


    The woman pped Reedman right across the face.


    Reedman was about to fight back, but he remembered he was in public and surrounded by reporters.


    He held his temper and grabbed the woman’s hand, “Honey, what are you doing?”


    The reporters broke into a flurry of conversation.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “It looks like our best performer and his wife have a great rtionship.”


    “Yeah, they look so in love.”


    “But why did his wife pped him?


    “What’s going on? The police mentioned something about drugs.”


    “Did Ms. X wrongly used him?”


    “I think so too.”


    Ashlyn’s heard the reporters bootlicking Reedman, but she couldn’t care less.


    She only had eyes for Lucas.


    Her gaze fell on the man who had well-defined features like a statue. She wasn’t sure if it was because


    of the lighting in the hallway, but this man was unbelievably handsome.


    Lucas held a disquieting aura as he strode towards her. His gaze held haughtiness just like a high and


    mighty king who belongs on a pedestal.


    He always stunned the crowd whenever he made an appearance.


    He was just so dashing and domineering.


    Ashlyn looked at Lucas silently as he stopped in front of her. He lowered his eyes at this petite woman


    and noticed her dress was torn. Then, he took off his tuxedo and draped it on her.


    She was about to say something when she heard his cold voice said in a domineering tone, “Wear it


    properly! No one can bully my woman!”


    Ashlyn remained silent upon hearing Lucas’ reply. After his arrival, she felt an indescribable calmness.


    She could handle this situation, but she felt more at ease when she knows he’s present.


    It was an inexplicable feeling of trust where she could drop all pretenses and hand the situation over to


    Lucas to handle.


    When Reedman noticed all eyes were on Lucas and Ashlyn, he turned to his wife and warned her, “You


    better hold your tongue, or I’ll cut it off!”


    His wife looked at him with steely eyes and turned to the police, “I was the one who reported this


    anonymously. I want to report him and O’Brien for abusing drugs and physically abused me!”


    “What are you talking about?” Reedman roared angrily, “You’re crazy!”


    He smiled wryly at everyone and said, “My wife is mentally ill. Her mind is not in the right state! Don’t


    listen to her, everyone.”


    “I’m fine!” Reedman’s wife pushed him away and pulled up her shirt aggressively. Her stomach and


    waist were bruised and scarred.


    She opened the button of her cor shirt and revealed a neck full of scars, old and new.


    Everyone was dumbstruck!


    “Do you know why I don’t have a uterus? When I was three months pregnant, he abused me and


    kicked my stomach brutally. He kicked me until I had a miscarriage. I lost my child and my uterus! It’s


    all because of him!”


    His wife couldn’t hold back her tears anymore, “I wanted a divorce for years. But, he wanted to


    maintain his reputation as a good husband. He used me as a tool and refused to get a divorce.


    Whenever I brought the matter up, he would use my life and my family’s life to threaten me! I can’t take


    it anymore!”


    Everyone couldn’t believe their ears when they heard the wordsing out from Reedman’s wife.


    He kicked his own child to death and caused his wife’s uterus to be removed.


    What he did was outrageous! How could Reedman be so inhumane?


    “He spent all his money on drugs. Why is he close to O’Brien? Because they always take drugs


    together. After they take drugs, they’ll find some young model or famous influencers to apany


    them. All these years, countless young girls had to sumb to their physical desire to survive in the


    industry!”
