Chapter 754


    Sinir replied: I knew it. Don’t worry, for I’ll handle it. However, I might need your help to wake him up.


    Ashlyn responded swiftly: Sure.


    After that, Ashlyn tossed her phone aside and shut her eyes before letting out a long sigh. Many things


    were guing her recently.


    Why does it seem like I’m busy every day?


    Back in the hotel’s presidential suite, Ryan had just stepped out of the shower.


    He dried his hair briefly before jumping into bed.


    Some timeter, he was suddenly reminded of something.


    Pulling his phone out, he found a photo of a woman and stared at her.


    Without a word, he stroked his chin and fell deep into thought.


    Do we really resemble each other?


    He then searched for photos of a young Ashlyn.


    Everything was just a search away nowadays.


    He even searched for Charlotte’s photos before she got disfigured so he couldpare her face to


    Ashlyn and himself.


    However, Charlotte’s photo was taken too long ago, so it was quite blurry. She was an ordinary young


    girl and did not take many photos, unlike Ashlyn who often trended on social media.


    Hence, he could not reallye to a conclusion.


    Something seems off.


    Suddenly, a wild idea shed across his mind.


    Could Ashlyn be… Penelope instead? I mean, could Ashlyn be my sister’s daughter? But what about


    Mary? The DNA results showed that she’s rted to the Yates family. No way Ashlyn is Mary’s


    daughter. It’s obvious Mary dotes on Penelope, and she treats Ashlyn harshly. Did something go wrong


    with the DNA report?


    That very thought shocked Ryan senseless.


    He sat up from the bed as his face turned pale.


    I must find out what happened. No one can manipte the Yates family!


    His gaze darkened as he gave his assistant a call. “Do me a favor.”


    A few minutester, he hung up and flopped back into bed.


    He could not stop himself from thinking about Ashlyn’s gorgeous face and everything she did.


    Imperial Hotel had a dorm for each of its employees.


    The seventeenth and eighteenth floors of the hotel were its employee dorm and rest area. Each


    employee had their own room.


    Inside one room, a man was applying medicine to the wound on his calf as he bit back the anguish.


    His wound had festered and inmed. He did not deal with it in time, so it worsened as time passed.


    Gritting his teeth, he poured hydrogen peroxide solution onto his wound.


    At once, bubbles formed above his wound.


    He pulled a knife out and heated it up before plunging it deep into his wound.


    In the end, he cut the rotten part of his flesh out with the knife.


    As he did not get any anesthetic, he was drenched in sweat. However, he did not make a sound as


    though he was cutting someone else’s leg instead of his own.


    Swiftly, he cleaned his wound and applied some medicine before wrapping it up with some gauze.


    By then, he could finally let out a sigh of relief.


    His entire body was drenched with cold sweat. Sweat was trickling down his forehead, and his back


    was wet.


    Grabbing a piece of napkin, he wiped the sweat off his brows and sat up to roll the hems of his pants


    down.


    Right then, someone knocked at the door.


    A familiar voice rang out. “Chef Howard, the head chef wants to see you.”


    It was his apprentice, Denny. Howard got to his feet carefully and kept all the stuff he used earlier to


    dress his wound.


    Pretending nothing had happened, he bit back the pain that red up his heart and walked to the door


    calmly.

    He pulled the door open to reveal a young man shorter than him and around the age of neen


    standing outside.
