Chapter 443
She reached for a glass of wine from a nearby waiter and made her way over to Lucas’s side ostentatiously.
However, she wasn’t aware of the emotions behind the man’s indifferent gaze because she was perceiving
otherwise in her mind.
Since Mr. Nolan has given me eye contact, I can’t possibly stand around idly like an idiot, right? I won’t allow such a
golden opportunity to slip by my side!
The more she thought about it, the more Sharon became full of herself.
Finally, she made it to Lucas’s side and stood in front of the man. Her heart pounded furiously; the man looked even
more breathtaking from close proximity. He was undeniably a heartbreaker. Tall and majestic, his presence was
superior to those around him.
Recalling the so-called “signal” from Lucas, she cast a lustful gaze at the man. She raised her glass of wine and
invited the man to drink to a toast timidly. “Mr. Nolan, cheers.”
Lucas glanced at Sharon through the corner of his eyes. Ignoring her, he replied to Mike instead, “I must say I’m
impressed because you have quite an interesting idea.”
All of a sudden, Sharon, who was still holding on to her glass of wine, had a stiff expression. She felt embarrassed.
What? This is nothing close to what I have in mind! Why is Mr. Nolan ignoring me? He was the one who had gotten
me over, right?
Sharon felt anxious deep down, but she tried her best to put on a calm front and smiled. “Mr. Nolan, since you’re
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtone of the major shareholders of LX from now onward, I guess we’ll be in your care.”
“You? Do you really think you deserve to be in my care?” Lucas scoffed. Smirking contemptuously, he clinked
glasses with Mike instead.
Mike knew what Lucas was up to. Therefore, he took his leave and left Sharon and Lucas alone.
“W-What did you just say? Weren’t you the one who...” Sharon stared at the gorgeous man in front of her in
disbelief.
“Who are you anyway?” Lucas became increasingly irritated because he couldn’t figure out what the foolish woman
was up to.
“I thought you have a thing for me? Haven’t you been eyeing me for quite some time?” Sharon put on a pitiable
front because she was certain she would be able to get Lucas to sympathize with her, thus triggering his urge to
protect her.
“Oh... Is that what you’re referring to?” The woman’s motive finally dawned on Lucas.
He sized Sharon up and realized she was nothing close to Ashlyn in terms of height and looks. He was also certain
she wouldn’t be a match for Ashlyn in terms of personality and talent. This sort of impudent fool actually has the
audacity to pick on Ashlyn?
Sharon got her hopes high once again as soon as she detected the expression on Lucas’s face. Reminded of his
actions a few minutes ago, she thought he finally returned to his senses.
She turned around in an attempt to lean against the man as she assured him, “Mr. Nolan, don’t worry. I’ll definitely
keep you entertained throughout the night. You’ll have the best time of your life. I’m sure I’ll do a better job than
Ashlyn.”
In the end, she staggered because Lucas had taken a step back the moment she tried to approach him.
Once ogoin, she stood right where she wos, emborrossed, becouse things didn’t turn out the woy she hod imogined
they would.
“Throw her out immediotely! I don’t wont to see her in LX onymore!” As soon os Lucos delivered his instructions in

Shoron wos dumbfounded seeing the men were obout to drog her out of the venue os instructed. “N-No! M-Mr.
Nolon? W-Whot’s wrong, Mr. N-”
Once Lucos got rid of Shoron, he grimly strode to Ashlyn, who wos in the middle of o conversotion with Mike.
She’s such o heortless womon! I just got rid of her foe on her beholf, ond yet she’s hoving o greot time with others.
“Mike, ore you serious? Do you wont to colloborote with me?” Ashlyn wos shocked.
Mike wos no longer the strict judge he wos on the stoge. Insteod, he proised her like o loving senior. “Yes, Ms. X. You
hove quite on impressive tolent.”
“I-I’m ot o loss for words! Thonk you so much, Mike! I’ll definitely try my best!” Ashlyn nodded, smiling.
“H Notion is on owesome country! Once I hove everything on my plote sorted out, I’ll drop by H Notion ond work on

“If thot’s the cose, I’ll be woiting for you in H Notion, Mike.” Upon finishing tolking, Ashlyn initioted o hondshoke to

Before Mike could return the fovor ond shoke Ashlyn’s hond, o gigontic polm showed up out of nowhere ond held on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto Ashlyn’s hond.
Once again, she stood right where she was, embarrassed, because things didn’t turn out the way she had imagined
they would.
“Throw her out immediately! I don’t want to see her in LX anymore!” As soon as Lucas delivered his instructions in
a callous tone, Spencer showed up with a few men in black and surrounded Sharon.
Sharon was dumbfounded seeing the men were about to drag her out of the venue as instructed. “N-No! M-Mr.
Nolan? W-What’s wrong, Mr. N-”
Once Lucas got rid of Sharon, he grimly strode to Ashlyn, who was in the middle of a conversation with Mike.
She’s such a heartless woman! I just got rid of her foe on her behalf, and yet she’s having a great time with others.
“Mike, are you serious? Do you want to collaborate with me?” Ashlyn was shocked.
Mike was no longer the strict judge he was on the stage. Instead, he praised her like a loving senior. “Yes, Ms. X. You
have quite an impressive talent.”
“I-I’m at a loss for words! Thank you so much, Mike! I’ll definitely try my best!” Ashlyn nodded, smiling.
“H Nation is an awesome country! Once I have everything on my plate sorted out, I’ll drop by H Nation and work on
the details of our collaboration,” Mike’s eyes gleamed as he made a promise with Ashlyn.
“If that’s the case, I’ll be waiting for you in H Nation, Mike.” Upon finishing talking, Ashlyn initiated a handshake to
seal the deal.
Before Mike could return the favor and shake Ashlyn’s hand, a gigantic palm showed up out of nowhere and held on
to Ashlyn’s hand.
