    Chapter 1254 Detailed And Compelling Evidence


    “Why are you taking the emergency staircase when there''s an elevator?”


    Spencer swallowed hard and wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Uh... I was thinking of getting some


    exercise.”


    His reason was a little far-fetched.


    While Ashlyn was doubtful, she did not dwell on it too much.


    As the two entered the room together, they met with Lucas'' somewhat peculiar gaze.


    The man''s usually icy gaze had a trace of inexplicable craze and determination, almost as if he was


    suppressing something...


    He looks like a hungry wolf who has spotted a littlemb... And that pitiful littlemb is none other than


    me... Wait. Me? Themb? Why would I think of such a terrifying analogy? I''m always meant to be the


    goddess! Something''s not quite right. Spencer is acting abnormally, and so is Lucas.


    Ashlyn walked further in and nced at Joseph. “You''ve lost weight recently too, haven''t you?”


    What''s wrong with Charlotte and him?


    For some reason, she felt an inexplicable worry as an elder.


    Joseph smiled. “Like Lottie, I''m also having trouble adjusting to the new environment.”


    In truth, he had been gued by worries for James and could not eat or sleep welltely.


    There was no way he could be in a good condition.


    “That''s enough. Just say it if you''re concerned about James. There''s no need toe up with


    excuses.” Ashlyn walked to the desk, grabbed the documents, and casually slipped through them. “This


    isn''t sufficient.”


    As she spoke, she handed Lucas the document Chester had given her. “I also have some evidence


    here. Take a look.”


    Lucas arched an eyebrow. A faint glimmer shed in his gaze as he curled his thin lips. “Chester gave


    you this?”


    She asked to wait for someone, and shortly after, Chester arrived.


    Ashlyn did not know how to exin. It was also beyond her imagination that Lone Breeze was a


    famous celebrity, moreover, one that almost the whole world knew.


    Following a brief silence, she exined, “My friend knows him and asked him to help deliver some


    documents.”


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    The fact that she could have a celebrity humble himself to deliver documents showed that her so-called


    friend was of an extraordinary status as well.


    Then again, it was not the time for her to exin this.


    Lucas epted the document and began flipping through it.


    Joseph, however, was getting distracted. Chester Elsher? Could it be that he''s that famous actor?


    Regardless, he did not think it was appropriate to voice his doubts since Lucas and Ashlyn did not


    seem interested in discussing it.


    After looking through the contents, Lucas grew increasingly solemn.


    Where did she get such detailed andpelling evidence? And where did her friend get it from? How


    did she secure such information when even Section Six couldn''t?


    Joseph also leaned over to look. When he saw the contents, he waspletely stumped.


    He understood, even though he had never studiedw.


    “This evidence...”


    That''s plenty!


    His eyes turned slightly teary. “Aunt Ashlyn, thank you...”


    Ashlyn looked up at him. She realized Joseph was no longer repulsed about greeting her that way at


    some point.


    Since he addresses me as Aunt Ashlyn, I can''t stand by and watch the Field family fall from grace.


    Neither can I watch James being framed by the rogues!


    She also thought of Fae, who was far away in Lake City. Mrs. Field still makes the chicken soup that


    my mom taught her even though she has lost her memories. I guess some rtionships will never


    change or fade because of time and space.


    “Don''t mention it. We''re a family,” Ashlyn responded inly.


    A glint of light flitted across her beautiful eyes.


    Lucas flipped through the document swiftly. After he finished skimming through, he looked up at


    Ashlyn, and this time, his gaze filled with burning eagerness.


    “Has the court date been set?”


    Joseph nodded. “The day after tomorrow at ten in the morning.”


    “Okay.”


    Lucas suppressed the anticipation within him. With the evidence Ashlyn provided, I''m sure we''ll yield


    twice the result with half the effort.


    The group then ordered room service and had a meal together before they dispersed.


    Ashlyn and Lucas returned to their room.


    She pushed the door opened, but had yet stepped in.


    Suddenly, Lucas reached out with his long arm and dragged her in. Before she could react, the man


    pinned her against the wall and condescendingly looked down at her.
