Chapter 590
With his lips pursed, his usually cold expression appeared frostier with his bloodshot eyes.
When his gaze fell upon Ashlyn, he stared at her coldly as if she was a stranger.
Ashlyn was jolted in response. Did he believe Claire when she told him I was responsible for her death?
“When we returned from Paris, I promised my parents that I would take good care of her. I didn’t expect...” Lucas
couldn’t continue his sentence.
Just when Ashlyn wanted to hug him, he had already pulled her into his arms. He muttered softly, “Don’t be afraid...
don’t be afraid.”
Feeling a bitterness in her throat, she was surprised to see him console her even at such a moment.
Since when was I, Ashlyn Berry, ever afraid?
She gritted her teeth. “I... I’m sorry for your loss.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that, she turned to leave. She initially wanted to explain what happened at the café. But, she felt that it would
only make things worse. Hence, it was better for him to calm down first before they talked.
Nevertheless, she felt that there was more to the matter than it met the eyes as Claire’s sudden death didn’t seem
to be just an accident.
As Lucas watched Ashlyn’s silhouette disappear, his resolve strengthened. Now that Claire is gone, I will have to
protect my Honey! I must clear her name.
Despite his solemn expression, his feelings for Ashlyn never wavered. Not now, not ever.
With his lips pursed, his usually cold expression appeared frostier with his bloodshot eyes.
After that, he headed towards the hospital’s office. “Is the autopsy report out?”
“The preliminary report is out. Ms. Nolan had a heart attack after being emotionally triggered. However, for more
details, we will need further investigation,” the doctor quickly replied when he saw Lucas’ intimidating presence.
Lucas didn’t say anything and left.
In the dead of the night, a private jet slowly landed.
Around ten bodyguards exited from the plane.
Finally, a middle-aged couple emerged. The man had a cold and fearsome demeanor while the lady beside him was
expressionless.
The man coldly instructed, “To the hospital.”
“Yes, Sir.”
With the bodyguards leading the way, they entered a Lincoln Limousine that was already waiting.
The black Lincoln sped furiously to the hospital and arrived in half an hour.
Franklin wore a black jacket as he stood in front of Lucas.
“Dad...” Lucas had only begun to spoke when a heavy slap landed on his cheek.
With a terrifying expression, Franklin’s gaze looked like it belonged to a demon that had just crawled out of hell.
“Lucas, is this how you care for my daughter? Grace is dead because of you and now Claire. What did the Nolan
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfamily ever do to you for you to take my daughters’ lives? No matter what, we were the ones who brought you up.
Is this how you repay me?”
Franklin was filled with rage as he berated Lucas harshly.
Lucas lowered his head and squinted his eyes but couldn’t even utter a word.
“When you were chased out by that person, it was me who brought you back to the Nolan family and took care of
you. Do you know how Claire died? It was your woman that did her in!” As Franklin raised his hands, a bodyguard
handed him some pictures.
Holding the pictures, he then threw them forcefully at Lucas, causing grazes on his face.
“Look closely! My daughter was kneeling in front of your woman. Did she deserve the kind of treatment? What right
does your woman have to treat her that way?” Franklin glared coldly at Lucas.
When Lucas saw the pictures, his eyes narrowed. Impossible!
Word by word, he declared, “There must be someone else involved. My woman would never do such a thing. Even
if the whole world says that she did it, I won’t believe it. I only trust her.”
“She is the one who caused your sister’s death. Lucas, I’ll be clear with you. She is now my daughter’s killer. If you
value her life, you should break up with her. Or else, I can’t guarantee what I will do to her.”
