Chapter 517
Her two hands held on tightly onto the corners of his shirt, as if he were her last chance in life.
“She is mine! She must come with me!” Lochlan, whose eyes used to be full of love and affection for her, now
looked so cold and distant that it frightened Charlotte.
“No... I don’t want to,” Charlotte muttered as she was afraid that Joseph would hand her to Lochlan.
He is way too scary right now.
“I don’t think you have the ability to snatch her from my hands.” Joseph glared at Lochlan. “We have a piece of land
and I hear that you guys at Fraser Corporation want to take it for a high price. I see that you are no longer
interested in it now?”
Lochlan froze. “You!”
“Mm...” Joseph looked down at him mockingly before turning around and leaving with his hand in hers.
In the car, Charlotte’s frozen hands was on the steering wheel as she started the car.
Her entire body had grown cold, as if she had just been fished out from an icy lake.
She was so cold that she could not stop shivering.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI am just worth that piece of land...It turns out I am not as important as I had thought.
Just with that, Uncle Lochlan gave in.
Hmph.
Reality always bites hard.
Joseph took her hand as he saw her sad face. “Your hands are really cold. Stop the car!”
However, she continued to drive ahead blankly as if she did not hear him.
Under such circumstances, she was still able to drive smoothly.
Joseph did not know what to say anymore, and merely looked at her anxiously.
Who would have thought that she was related to the Fraser family? There was word on the street that the Frasers
had a foster daughter who had autism.
If I’m not wrong, she performed together with Ashlyn during the National Day Gala Night, and had caught some
attention.
With that, Joseph decided to text Ashlyn.
In the end, he received no reply at all.
Turns out this aunt of mine does not prioritize me at all!
Joseph grumbled silently.
It was only when they reached home did Charlotte feel a little better.
The moment they entered the front door, she shut herself in her room, just like a tortoise who was retreating into
its shell.
Mrs. Field saw that there was something off about her. “What’s wrong with her? Is she unhappy? Did you anger her,
you insensitive man?”
“No such thing, Mom.” Joseph did not know how to explain it to her. “Mom, do you know how Ashlyn is recently?”
“I’m not sure but she has been very busy. I haven’t had tea with her for a while.” Mrs. Field shook her head.
At the laboratory.
Ashlyn had just woken up from a deep sleep. She had lost quite a bit of weight in the past few days, making her
almond eyes even larger and brighter.
When Jared brought her meal to her, he passed her fully charged phone to her as well. “Boss, this dinner is from
Imperial Hotel. Apparently it was made by Chef Howard himself.”
“Hmm.” Ashlyn switched on her phone. To be frank, she did not have much of an appetite.
However, she knew that she needed enough energy to get through the current detoxification stage.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe reality did not allow her to be willful.
Howard had made her an exquisite five course meal.
When she opened up the box, the fragrance permeated the air in the room.
She ate while reading her messages.
Then, she saw Joseph’s message: Ms. Berry, I would like to ask you something.
It was a message from two hours ago.
She replied: What’s up?
She then placed her phone away and began concentrating on her dinner.
Barely two bites later, Lucas’ video call popped up on her screen.
She looked up at Jared, “Do I look all right? I don’t look too exhausted, right?”
Jared’s heart twisted a little. “No, you look good.”
“Really? You are not lying to me, right?” Ashlyn did not quite believe him.
She looked rather disheveled, having just woken up. Furthermore, she hadn’t combed her hair.
How is it possible for me to look good?
“Really, you look fine!” Jared swore with his arms raised up high. No matter what you look like, Mr. Nolan would still
be looking at you from across the road!
