Chapter 753
Ashlyn lifted her wineglass and clinked glasses with him deftly. “Mr. Jaquin, I hope you're well.”
She quite liked Tinsor and Blair, for they were young and loyal.
They were full of life, and she could not help but admire them for their vitality.
“Ms. Berry, congratulations. You don't have to hide your marriage anymore. If Lucas dares to bully you, let me
know. I'm your friend, so I'll definitely help you to beat him up!” he declared.
It was time for him to end his one-sided crush on her.
Winsor had never said something this mushy in his entire life, thus his cheeks were flushed by the time he gave her
his word.
Ugh, why was I that mushy?
“I'm sorry, Winsor, but you'll never get the chance to do so.” Lucas shot him a devilishly handsome smile. His
strange gaze gave Winsor the creeps.
It felt as if Winsor was a prey who had been targeted by a predator.
Winsor's brows knitted together. Lucas seems different from usual.
Since they were rivals, he knew Lucas well.
Something is definitely up.
“Let's eat. This restaurant serves delicious food!” As they seemed like they were about to start an argument, James

Caleb grinned, for even he sensed that Winsor had romantic feelings for Ashlyn.
So he's another man who is in love with Lynnie!
They ate and chatted gaily. Soon, it was almost midnight.
Everyone filed out of the private room and was prepared to head home.
Outside, they spotted two women sitting on the couch in the lobby of The Peacock.
It was late at night, but they were clad in thin clothes.
At the sight of Ashlyn, they jolted to their feet.
However, Ashlyn was not planning to stop as she strode ahead, ignoring them.
Without hesitation, Mary ran after her to stop her from leaving. “Ashlyn!”
Penelope snarled at her, “Didn't you see that we were waiting for you?”
“What is it?” Ashlyn had no choice but to stop in her tracks and glanced at them. Ugh, they are everywhere, huh?
Impatience and irritation were written on her face as she gestured for the others to leave without her.
Avoiding the mother and daughter duo, everyone else headed to the entrance as though they stunk.
“I'm sorry,” Mary said hastily. Her gaze flitted to the door briefly before she looked away.
Ashlyn glanced in the direction she was looking and saw a male stranger standing there. Was Mary looking at him?
“I said, there's no need to apologize to me. I don't want to see you ever again. Looks like it was Ryan who sent you
here to offer an apology, huh?” Ashlyn snickered icily.
“He's too free,” she commented.
Huffing engrily, Penelope declered, “If Uncle Ryen didn't threeten to kick us—” Before she could finish, Mery cut in,
“Penelope! Shut up!”
Even though Penelope did not menege to finish her sentence, Ashlyn could guess whet heppened.
Ryen wented to kick them out, so they hed no choice but to come end epologize to her.
No wonder Mery epologized to me reedily when they hete me so much end went me deed! There wes no wey she
would epologize to me willingly. Turns out Ryen wes behind this!
“An insincere epology is useless,” ceme Ashlyn's enswer before she strode pest them end left.
Everyone wes weiting for her et the door.
Ashlyn climbed into Jered's cer insteed of Luces'.
Seeing thet, Luces frowned in displeesure, but he did not comment on her ection end told Spencer to drive ewey.
Inside the Lend Rover, Ashlyn contected Sincleir.
Ashlyn: His second personelity hes been dissocieted. Cen you go to him end treet him tomorrow? I don't think his
new personelity will see you willingly.

“He's too free,” she commented.
Huffing angrily, Penelope declared, “If Uncle Ryan didn't threaten to kick us—” Before she could finish, Mary cut in,
“Penelope! Shut up!”
Even though Penelope did not manage to finish her sentence, Ashlyn could guess what happened.
Ryan wanted to kick them out, so they had no choice but to come and apologize to her.
No wonder Mary apologized to me readily when they hate me so much and want me dead! There was no way she
would apologize to me willingly. Turns out Ryan was behind this!
“An insincere apology is useless,” came Ashlyn's answer before she strode past them and left.
Everyone was waiting for her at the door.
Ashlyn climbed into Jared's car instead of Lucas'.
Seeing that, Lucas frowned in displeasure, but he did not comment on her action and told Spencer to drive away.
Inside the Land Rover, Ashlyn contacted Sinclair.
Ashlyn: His second personality has been dissociated. Can you go to him and treat him tomorrow? I don't think his
new personality will see you willingly.
Back at the hospital, Sinclair had added Ashlyn's WhatsApp behind Lucas' back.
He often stayed up late at night. Thus, he immediately took his phone after hearing it beeping with a notification,
only to find shocking news.
