My One In A Million Wife [Ashlyn And Lucas] Chapter 171


    My one in a million wife [Ashlyn and Lucas] chapter 171


    “Alright, Honey, when did she say she woulde to eat with us?” Mr. Field had wanted to meet Ms.


    Saunders for some time now. s, this hadn’t sat quite well with Mrs. Field.


    But thankfully, Ms. Saunders hadn’t harmed her in any way.


    “Tomorrow night.”


    “That’s it. When tomorrow nightes, ask her about today’s gathering and see what she says.”


    Upon hearing this, Mrs. Field could only reluctantly nod her head. “Alright then.”


    The next day at 9 o’clock in the Nn Group’s CEO’s office.


    The moment Joseph stepped inside, he said cheerfully, “Hey Lucas, did you know? I’ve got a really


    special guesting to my house tonight.”


    “Hmm,” came the man’s disinterested reply as he continued with his work.


    “Tsk tsk,” Joseph disapproved, “What a heartless man you are. Aren’t you going to even ask me who


    this guest is?”


    “Who’s your guest?” Lucas asked cooperatively. However, the expression on his face didn’t change in


    the slightest.


    Joseph’s lips curled into a mysterious smile. “Do you know who Ms. Saunders is? The woman who can


    y the piano with her left hand while painting a picture with her right! My mum’s on really good terms


    with her.”


    Joseph thought of something all of a sudden. “Didn’t you ask my mum to set up a meeting between you


    and Ms. Saunders? Why don’t you tag along tonight?”


    However, he waspletely oblivious to how his best friend’s eyes gleamed coldly as he tightened his


    grip around his pen after hearing the words Ms. Saunders.


    “Alright.”


    Lucas didn’t tell Joseph about how he had already brought Hera to go see Ashlyn.


    However, since his best friend had made such a sincere invitation, how could he turn his best friend


    down?


    “You’re agreeing just like that?” Joseph felt that Lucas was acting rather oddly today. He then studied


    his best friend from head to toe. However, Lucas had already regained hisposure.


    Upon that dashing face was a pair of piercing eyes with dark circles around them. “Hey, couldn’t sleep


    again?”


    The hypomania Lucas had developed a few years ago was apanied by frequent bouts of


    insomnia.


    The medication he had been taking all this while had helped to suppress the symptoms. Only Joseph


    knew about this and he seldom saw Lucas with dark circles around his eyes.


    Thus, he instinctively associated Lucas’s eye bags with his illness.


    “I was flying all night and I just got off not too long ago,” Lucas exined coldly.


    “What the f***! You flew for an entire night and yet you still came back for work? Are you a machine?


    Go back home and sleep! Go on!”


    “I can’t sleep,” Lucas said as he rubbed his forehead, “I’ll go back home with you tonight after work.”


    Joseph wanted to say something else but eventually thought the better of it.


    That afternoon at 5 o’clock.


    Ashlyn headed straight for the biggest mall in the city center.


    This was the first time she was paying the Field family a visit. Since Mrs. Field was always really nice to


    her, she naturally had to prepare some gifts beforehand.


    As she had always been a very decisive shopper, she was out of the mall in ten minutes.


    After she exited the mall, she got into her Land Rover and sped off to the Field family house.


    Mrs. Field had already sent her their address via WhatsApp.


    The traffic on the way to the Field family house was rather congested. Soon, it was almost 6 o’clock.

    Just as she was about to U-turn and try a different route, she heard a siren in the distance.


    As she curiously rolled down her windows, she overheard pedestrians discussing what had happened.


    “Oh my god! There’s been an ident up ahead!”


    “I heard that there were many kids in the car as well. It’s uncertain if they’re still alive.”


    As Ashlyn’s brows furrowed, she got out of her car and started walking towards the ident site.


    The moment she arrived at the ident site, she was greeted with the sight of a van that had been


    wrecked beyond recognition by a lorry. Crawling out of the wreckage were three hooligan-looking men.


    Ignoring the children still in the car, they immediately made a mad dash for the crowd after hearing the


    police sirens.


    Something’s not right!


    If those children were theirs, saving them would have been their top priority.


    If those kids belonged to a certain kindergarten, those men would have chosen to save them as well.


    But now…


    They’re running away…


    Damn it!


    With a frosty expression in her eyes, Ashlyn barked, “Don’t let them get away! They’re human


    traffickers!”
