Chapter 1223 Purple Diamond

“Stop messing around!” Ashlyn lightly scolded.

Jared let out a frustrated huff. “I don't want to be a third wheel, so I've decided to go back to my room.”

Lucas moved to sit next to Ashlyn, then signaled for Spencer to bring over the gift box.

Ashlyn looked at the gift box, somewhat puzzled. “What is this?”

“This is for you.” The man's voice was deep and elegant.

Why is he giving me a gift for no reason? Ashlyn opened the gift box. Inside, she found a beautiful evening gown.

The light purple color was particularly flattering to the skin, and the design was simple yet sophisticated. There was

also a pair of matching silver high heels included. This man was out for half the day just to buy this?

“A gown?” she asked.

“Ms. Berry, may I have the honor of inviting you to the banquet at the President's this evening?” Lucas extended his

hand, making an inviting gesture.

Ashlyn couldn't help but laugh, lightly patting his large palm. “A banquet hosted by the President?”

“Yes.” Lucas nodded. “The Cook, Lacey, and Guzman families all suffered losses this time. The purpose of the

President's banquet is self-evident.”

Ashlyn nodded and opened another box. Inside, she found a set of valuable purple diamond jewelry, which included

not only a necklace but also matching earrings.

The color of the diamond sparkled brilliantly under the light, incredibly dazzling to the eyes.

That was a set of jewelry that no woman could resist.

Ashlyn was astounded when she saw that set of jewelry because that jewelry set was a limited edition from Brand

X, personally designed by her, and only ten sets had been released worldwide.

At that time, many affluent ladies were desperately trying to get it, but they couldn't get their hands on it.

She never expected that Lucas would actually snatch a set of jewelry she had designed herself, only to gift it back

to her, the designer.

It felt somewhat peculiar.

“If you wanted it, I could've reserved a set for you... Why did you bother to snatch it?” It took Ashlyn a while to

regain her composure, but the shock in her eyes was still unmistakable.

“Snatching the jewelry designed by my wife makes it all the more meaningful.” Lucas' thin lips curved into an

extremely handsome smile, his dark eyes filled with affection. “If you were to leave a set for me, it would lose its

significance.”

He took out the jewelry and personally helped Ashlyn put it on. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows

reminiscent of distant mountains and twinkling stars. With the purple diamond necklace adorning her neck, her skin

appeared even more like creamy jade, enhancing her noble and elegant demeanor.

“This set of jewelry is called 'Light Feather' because the diamonds are shaped like feathers,” Ashlyn said softly, a

smile tugging at her lips. “Wearing jewelry of my own design feels somewhat different, quite magical.”

“So beautiful.” Lucas lowered his gaze, planting a kiss on her forehead, then glanced at Spencer again.

Spencer had long been indifferent to his constant public displays of affection and immediately turned a blind eye,

giving his hands a knowing clap.

Soon after, a few fashionably dressed men and women walked in. Seeing the large makeup boxes they were

carrying, Ashlyn knew that these were the styling team invited by Lucas.

The styling team was very efficient, and their fashion sense was quite impressive.

The suit that Lucas chose was particularly valuable, and the style was also very elegant.

About an hour later, the styling team finally finished their work and left.

Time gently slipped away, and before long, it was time for the banquet to begin.

Lucas and Ashlyn held hands as they got into the car, which smoothly drove off toward the location of the evening

banquet.

At seven o'clock in the evening, in the grand banquet hall of the President's office, glasses clinked, and many

influential politicians gathered together. The crystal chandelier cast a brilliant glow while the uniformed waitstaff

bustled back and forth.

Behind the banquet hall of the President's office, after passing through several corridors and a pond, was where the

President resided. It was a fair distance from the front banquet hall. No matter how lively it was at the front, it was

always very quiet at the back.

It elicited a strong reaction compared to what was before.

The President's residence was a standalone three-story villa, lavishly decorated on the inside. After getting dressed,

Samantha Labate, standing on her tiptoes to help the President with his tie, suggested gently with a smile, “For an

occasion like today, we should invite Yuri to join us. After all, she is the young lady of the president's daughter. Even

though she's married off, the Guzman family isn't lacking in any way... I wonder if the Guzman family will bring her

along.”
