Chapter 962
“Lynlyn provoked her?” Lucas asked.
“Yes. Cassandra sent me a text on WhatsApp,” Spencer replied, taking out his phone to show Lucas
the conversation.
“Dixon has gone overboard,” Lucas remarked as glints of hatred shone in his eyes.
“It’s time weunch our n. I want these two out of the show. No one is getting in my wife’s way,” he
added.
“Yes, Mr. Nn.”
With that said, Spencer walked out of the venue to carry out Lucas’ orders while Lte and Emerson
remained clueless about what would befall them.
All that while, they had behaved impudently because Dixon was on their side, but little did they know,
Ashlyn had Lucas watching her back, someone who would go to great lengths to protect her.
They were under the impression that Lucas and Ashlyn were just like any other high-profile couples in
upper-ss society who maintained merely a facade of a happy marriage.
To them, Lucas would not have kept Ashlyn’s identity hidden if he truly loved her and had done so
simply because he thought she was an embarrassment to him.
Since Ashlyn was nothing but a ything whom her own husband detested, Emerson and Lte
walked all over her to their hearts’ content.
As for Lte, she had her own motivation—she was set on marrying Dixon so she could enjoy an
easy life.
This was an achievable goal for her since Dixon supported her career and was fixated on grooming her
to be a celebrity even more sessful than Ashlyn.
That thought of her sess was so appealing and exciting that it kept Lte awake some nights.
Ashlyn Berry? Who does she think she is? She’s just a lucky old woman. Dixon must have arranged for
her to be in this show so that I could outshine her and prove to everyone who is the winner here. I’m
clearly better than her.
That had been Lte’s meditation all along until she saw Ashlyn in that night sky dress, which formed
a stark contrast with her.
At that moment, she felt a blow to her confidence, for it was irrefutable that Ashlyn was beautiful.
Although Lte hated to admit it—and so did everyone present—Ashlyn managed to attract
everyone’s attention the moment she appeared before the crowd.
In the meantime, X Corporation’s anniversary cum productunch was about tomence.
The backstage was busy as all the models were making final preparations for the event except for
Ashlyn, who sat calmly in a corner.

She had but one task that night at the opening: showcasing the night sky dress—her masterpiece and
the best hit of the year.
That art piece was so highly-esteemed that an internationally-acimed actress had booked it for one
of her red-carpet events a monthter.
While Ashlyn waited patiently for the event to begin, Emerson and Lte threw taunting nces at
her on and off as if they were mocking her for being an underserving influencer who hadnded at the
wrong ce.
Still, Ashlyn would not stoop that low as to entertain them.
“Boss, those two pricks are so annoying,” Cassandrained. She was so exasperated she felt the
urge to drive a hammer through Emerson’s disgusting face. “How dare they do that to you?” Cassandra
fumed.
“We’re not in the same league. Arguing with them will only make us seem low, so just leave the scums
alone,” Ashlyn assured.
Judging from how Emerson and Lte derived satisfaction from taking advantage of people, Ashlyn
knew that they would not make it far on their road to sess.
“They’re annoying like flies, Boss. How could you be so unfazed?” Cassandra asked.
Ashlyn smiled at her question.
Cassandra could look silly sometimes, but that was what made her cute.
Bored, Cassandra took out her phone and pouted before taking a selfie for Spencer.
On the other end, when Spencer saw the adorable and youthful girl with bright round eyes in the photo,
he felt a gush of heat shooting up his cheeks.
She was so charming that his heart raced and blood boiled.
Meanwhile, over at backstage, a woman stood not far away, watching Ashlyn and Cassandra until she
finally walked over to them when the show was about to begin.
