    Chapter 1229 Male Chauvinism


    Lucas had often met quite a few important figures from Zaewora.


    As such, the people there were also aware that Lucas'' identity was extraordinary.


    Herald also walked over to him. “Mr. Nn.”


    Then, everyone saw him greeting not only Lucas in all politeness but also turning to Ashlyn and saying


    with equal courtesy, “You look stunningly beautiful today, Ms. Berry.”


    Several high-societydies recognized the ne on Ashlyn''s neck and the earrings she wore as the


    work of the internationally renowned designer, Ms. X. Their gazes on her carried a mixture of envy,


    jealousy, and resentment.


    X''s creations had always been of sky-high price, and that set of jewelry was even a limited edition.


    They were made from incredibly precious and rare purple diamonds, matching her purple gown


    perfectly.


    She exuded elegance and nobility, her whole being radiating regality.


    So what if she''s elegant and regal? She''s still no different from us, with no standing in the family and


    status in society. At the end of the day, she''s a woman.


    When the President saw Herald treating a woman with such respect and courtesy, he found it utterly


    shameful.


    Mr. Cook is really bing increasingly disgraceful. What''s so special about a woman that he needs


    to greet her? He actually humbled himself to greet her. It''s truly a dishonor to his ministerial position!


    Looking down upon women from the bottom of his heart, he essentially suffered from a severe case of


    male chauvinism.


    Herald nced at the president in slight embarrassment. He wanted nothing more than to tell the man


    all the awesome things that had happened regarding Ashlyn.


    He especially wanted to emphasize one thing—she was not to be trifled with, for she was incredibly


    awesome.


    However, the President didn''t give him any opportunity or time to do so.


    Faint disdain was etched on his face, and he exuded the air of a high and mighty president. “Don''t you


    know you should be more respectful when you speak to me, miss? Since you know I''m the president,


    you should show me the appropriate respect.”


    Although he really didn''t want to bother with Ashlyn, considering that she was a woman brought by


    Lucas and thetter''s status, he still greeted her despite looking down upon her deep within, feeling


    that he was giving the man much respect.


    But if that were considered a greeting, then downright scorn, disdain, and shamelessness would be


    beyond their imagination.


    Herald broke out in a cold sweat on behalf of the President. He couldn''t believe that the man uttered


    such a remark and was seized by the urge to shout out loud to the President, “This woman is really


    awesome! Quick, stop while you''re ahead!”


    s, he simply couldn''t find the opportunity to do so.


    All he could do was watch helplessly as the President walked further down the path of self-destruction.

    His heart was lodged in his throat.


    “If you desire respect, Mr. President, shouldn''t you first show some to your biological daughter?”


    Ashlyn''s lips curved into a smirk, her eyes brimming with mockery.


    A male chauvinist like him is simply nauseating. It''s because of such authoritative figures that we have


    thousands of toxic people with the same attitude, leading to the women and children here being


    subjected to so much persecution!


    The President assumed that by flexing his authority, Ashlyn would be terrified since she was just a


    woman.


    Unexpectedly, she actually dared to provoke him again, questioning him fearlessly.


    There was a distinct disdain in his eyes, and his voice carried a hint of mockery. “Mr. Nn, is thisdy


    beside you always so sharp-tongued? A woman should behave ordingly. No matter what, she


    should obey a man''s orders.”


    Lucas lifted his handsome face slightly. His gaze, which was as unfathomable as the vast starry sky,


    carried an inexplicable sense of coldness, and his voice was devoid of emotion. “We have always been


    equals, Mr. President. She''s free to say whatever she likes. It''s her freedom.” He paused briefly before


    adding, “No matter what she does or says, I will always support her.”


    At the man''s light retort, the President felt very much difited inwardly.


    Samantha had just watched a fantastic show and felt incredibly gratified, especially after Yuri was again


    pped by the President.
