Chapter 1230
Chapter 1230 She Saved My Life
Samantha hurried over to play the dutiful wife. “Mr. President, it must have been a long and tiring journey for Mr. Nolan. Chillton should be arriving soon.”
Following her repeated calls to hurry him up, her good-for-nothing son finally strutted over, late as usual.
Upon hearing her voice, the President couldn't help but think of Lucas's identity again. With a stiff expression on his face, he beckoned at Chillton, who was approaching from a near distance away. “Come here, Chillton. This is Mr. Nolan.”
Chillton had just come out of the restroom. His face was numb from the cold, and his expression was extremely stiff.
He wanted to crack a smile, but he simply couldn't manage it.
Before he even reached Lucas, an airy voice drifted into the air. “The weather's getting chilly, and some people need to be put in their place. What a fitting name indeed.”
Everyone was stumped.
The President's expression promptly turned as dark as thunder.
The fury blazing within him was on the verge of snapping its rein and bursting forth uncontrollably.
How could this woman be so outrageous? She's shameless despite my politeness, all of which is out of respect for Lucas. If it weren't because Lucas was the one who brought her here, I would've had her thrown out a long time ago!
He glared at Ashlyn with a furious look on his face. “What do you mean by that? At the very least, he's my son. You're being utterly disrespectful to us both.”
In other words, he was saying that she didn't respect him as the President.
Ashlyn threw the president a languid glance, her voice casual. “Oh, it's nothing. I was just inspired by the word Chillton.”
It's that simple!
At long last, Chillton's face had finally warmed, allowing him to speak. He couldn't help but swing his gaze to Ashlyn and was instantly stunned by the breathtaking beauty.
What a beautiful woman! Look at her mesmerizing countenance and the regal air radiating off her! When was there such an extraordinary woman in the elite circles? And how was he not aware of it?
He had never found anything wrong with his name, but to have such a beautiful woman find fault with it then, he suddenly felt a tad embarrassed.
After all, any man would want to leave a good impression on a beautiful woman.
When Yuri heard Ashlyn's mockery of the Jenkins family's father and son, her gloomy mood finally saw a hint of improvement.
She strode over on her long legs and stopped in front of Ashlyn. With a smile, she greeted, “Ms. Berry.”
She was naturally beautiful, but she always carried an air of restraint typical of a wealthy heiress, never letting herself go for real.
With a slight smile then, she was as beautiful as a blooming lily.
Ashlyn looked at her and patted her on the shoulder. “Tomorrow is your first day at work, so make sure to perform well.”
When the President witnessed the harmonious scene between the two women, his face immediately darkened with displeasure.
He asked in a terse voice, “You know her?”
They actually know each other! It must be this defiant woman who has led Yuri astray. She's clearly no decent woman at a single glance, opposing me at every turn. Lucas is simply terrible at taking control of his woman!
Yuri turned to face the man. Her previous smile gone, she said expressionlessly, “Ms. Berry saved my life.”
At the sight of her daughter, who was still all smiles a moment ago, suddenly turned aloof as a stranger when speaking to him, the President felt discomfited deep within.
However, he couldn't afford to lose his temper. After all, he was her father, and the person had saved his daughter.
Even though he considered this daughter of his worthless, it was still hard to swallow his pride.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of Jared, who had just stepped in from outside. His eyes instantly lit up, and he said to Chillton, “This is Mr. Quickton from Centennial Healthcare.”
Chillton quickly greeted Jared with respect and politeness. “Hello, Mr. Quickton. I've heard much about you.”
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Lucas. “Mr. Nolan, Section Six's new energy development is truly an eye-opener to us. Since both of you are from H Nation, you likely know each other, yes?”
His words were actually quite flawless. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing that, the President finally felt a bit more at ease.
A son will always be a son, and that's better than a daughter.
