Chapter 749
An icy look crossed Ashlyn's gorgeous face. Covering Mary in her frosty judgment, she responded, “Stop wasting
your time here, Mary. Time to contain your vanity, okay?”
Mary got so furious that she nearly collapsed to the ground.
Her cheeks burned as she spluttered, “Y-You! How could you—”
“Enough! Mary, my wife and her mentor have nothing to do with you!”
Suddenly, a deep and assertive voice rang out beside Mary.
Lifting her head, Mary saw a strikingly handsome man standing before Ashlyn in a protective manner. His shoulders
were broad enough to shield Ashlyn from all kinds of danger.
Lucas continued stonily, “I don't know where someone as old as you got the courage to question my wife and her
mentor when you don't have the right to do so!”
His presence was so imposing that Mary instantly cowered back in fear.
“Mr. Nolan, Mr. Powell, I-I was just concerned about Ashlyn,” she protested.
Lucas snorted. “I can take care of her. That's none of your business. If you're that free, show your concern for your
daughter. Stay away from Ashlyn!”
He pinned Penelope with a withering look that sent shivers down her spine.

carpet. Everyone attended this competition to listen to music, not to go from rags to riches overnight!”
His penetrating gaze shifted to Mary. “Ms. Canter, you can't even teach your daughter well, so please stay away
from my wife,” he said, and there was a finality to his tone that warned Mary not to argue with him.
Everyone could not help but stare at Mary and Penelope. Tinsor and Blair even snickered out loud.
Poking Blair's waist, Tinsor commented, “Your brother has a sharp tongue, huh?”
Blair responded smugly, “He blessed us with his presence just to protect Ashlyn. He has to be skillful enough to do
that!”
Indeed, Tinsor and Winsor's faces turned as dark as thunder.
Penelope's face was drained of color. She was insulted to the point that she wanted nothing more than to dig a hole
and bury herself in it.
A wave of fury crashed through Mary, and she almost passed out. However, she had to blame herself for taking
great care of herself, for she did not manage to faint in anger.
They had brought this upon themselves, and there was no one else to blame.
After saying his piece, Lucas ignored them outright. He turned to Ashlyn and asked softly, “Honey, should we grab a
bite?”
It was pretty obvious how he adored and doted on Ashlyn.
Nevertheless, Ashlyn's response was to narrow her eyes.
This is his second personality. The rest could not see his eyes, but she was right in front of him and saw them
clearly.
Their gezes locked.

Their gazes locked.
Lucas' eyes looked as devious as a wolf as he stared at her intently as though she was his prey.
Seeing that, Ashlyn could not help but put her guard up as she eyed him warily.
This “Lucas” loves to put up an act. The previous Lucas wasn't this obsessed with acting.
Ashlyn pursed her lips. If possible, she wanted nothing more than to push this man away even though he was
gazing at her affectionately.
Look at the slyness in the depths of his eyes!
“Sure!” She flashed a smirk that was as devious as his. “This way!”
Without hesitation, Caleb told the others politely, “Come, let's go. Too many people tried to disrupt me from treating
you to a meal.”
Having said that, he strode away swiftly. Everyone else followed after him and ignored both Mary and Penelope.
Mary's chest was heaving in fury, and even the tips of her fingers were going numb.
She had just returned from Maredania but managed to humiliate herself at the theater. Obviously, she would
become the laughingstock of her circles!
How will Penelope make friends in the upper-class society in Maredania?
Her gaze flitted around and landed on Ashlyn's beautiful face. She was simmering in jealousy.
