My One In A Million Wife [Ashlyn And Lucas] Chapter 250
My one in a million wife [Ashlyn and Lucas] chapter 250
Didn’t he say he came from a remote vige? That it has been difficult for him to get into university and
that he could not even afford to pay the tuition fees? Didn’t he say his parents are both severely ill and
his sister had fallen down a hill and broke her leg?
She was someone who practically overflowed with kindness and sympathy and was more than willing
to help those poor children.
However, if the young man had actually been lying to her then she would be extremely unhappy and
angry.
Being lied to was always the hardest thing to ept.
She honestly did not know what was going on.
Her husband noticed her distracted expression and questioned, “What’s wrong with you? Why do you
seem so uneasy?”
Mrs. Leir did not answer. She knew that if her husband found out about her getting cheated, he
would definitely scold her.
He was quite good to her but she was more like a trophy to him. She did not get much say and
authority in the house.

Sure, he gave her a substantial allowance every month that she could buy things as she pleased and
not be looked down upon by the other rich housewives.
But the real master of the house, the one who made all the decisions, was her husband – Derek
Leir.
“I’m talking to you. Why aren’t you answering?” He lit up a cigarette before continuing, “You should
spend more time with Sienna Oates from the Haddock family. If Haddock Group’s hotel were to buy
sanitary wares from us, we would be able to earn a tidy profit.”
“How much do you think we would earn?” She queried.
Crossing his legs, Derek stated, “Rumors have that their hotel will have 58 floors with 30 rooms on
each floor. Calcte it yourself. If they buy all their sanitary wares from us, we would be able to earn at
least five million.”
Five million!
Mrs. Leir fell silent.
She had donated way more than five million ever since she joined Haddock Charity two years ago. At
this point, she could not even remember how many poor but talented young people she had helped.
There was also the fact that Haddock Group would have an auction every year and various charity
gs throughout the year.
At the very least, there were seven or eight such events.
What if Haddock Group really was running a massive scam?
“Surprised at the amount, eh?” Derek nced at her curiously. “Why are you acting so weird?”
“Nothing. But don’t you think it would be impossible to profit from Haddock Group? Even if they sign a
contract with us, I’m sure they’ll try to do it at the lowest price possible.” She murmured distractedly as
she yed with her hair.
There was a niggling feeling that told her Haddock Group was more than meets the eyes.
“True. Dixon Haddock is not an easy man to handle.” After that, the husband did not say anything more
as he lost himself in thought.
Inwardly, Mrs. Leir was panicking madly.
She had no idea why she was feeling so anxious, only that something felt wrong and empty.
She hastily finished her lunch before heading out to speak to Mrs. Jones.
They agreed to meet at a rtively remote café.
“What’s going on? Why the secrecy?” Mrs. Jones demanded as she entered the private room and set
down her bag.
“It’s like this, Mrs. Jones.” Mrs. Leir hurriedly told her about what she had seen at the shopping mall
yesterday.
There was a bewildered expression on Mrs. Jones’ face. “I thought he was seriously impoverished? I
also donated five hundred thousand to him so his family could see the doctor.”
“That’s why I’m so anxious right now. I think he might have been lying to us…” Mrs. Leir spoke with
her face pale.
“Calm down. We have to think this through properly.” Mrs. Jones patted the other woman’s hand
comfortingly. “This matter is not as simple as it seems. Previously, the Jeremy Halliwell that Naomi met
was a fake, so Sienna reimbursed her one million. It seems like she also doesn’t know about this.
Maybe she was lied to too?”
“But Sienna is such a smart and sharp woman. There’s no way she would be tricked again and again,
right?” Mrs. Leir said in a small voice, “I think… I think maybe Haddock Group knows and they’re
just setting this up to scam us.”
