My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 714

Walking up to Joshua, Lucas raised his leg and stomped on the former's chest. As he increased the pressure in his

foot, Lucas stared at Joshua indifferently. “Joshua, how dare you put your filthy hands on my sister?”

Fresh blood began to ooze out of the corner of Joshua's lips.

The greater the pressure Lucas applied, the faster the blood gushed out.

Amidst the agonizing pain in his chest, Joshua could feel that he was losing more air than he was taking in.

“L-Let me go! Your dad and mom... They sold Naomi to me. I had nothing to do with it.”

As blood flowed relentlessly out of his mouth, Joshua struggled to finish his words and almost suffocated to death

while doing so.

“Since Franklin and Livia were the ones dealing with you, why don't they sleep with you instead? As they are the

ones who have taken your money, you should be looking for them!” Lucas looked down at Joshua with eyes filled

with hostility. “Scum like you are not worthy to lay a finger on my sister. Even if she... remains single for the rest of

her life, she will never marry you!”

Ashlyn was startled by Lucas' remarks.

His frosty demeanor had caused her to assume that he never cared for his siblings.

When Naomi was poisoned back then, Ashlyn had noticed the concern Lucas had for her, but it never occurred to

her that his emotions were so intense.

Walking up to Joshua, Lucas raised his leg and stomped on the former's chest. As he increased the pressure in his

foot, Lucas stared at Joshua indifferently. “Joshua, how dare you put your filthy hands on my sister?”

The last time she had seen him so riled up was during his manic episode.

Upon the realization, she had finally seen through him. Underneath that expressionless face of his was a heart that

was filled with passion.

Curling up feebly in Ashlyn's arms, Naomi looked at Lucas with a stunned expression.

“Lucas...”

It was the first time she felt her brother protecting her from all the hurt in the world, just like an impregnable shield.

All this while, she had thought she was closer to Blair. But in that instant, she suddenly realized that Lucas and

Ashlyn were the ones who kept Blair and her safe as if they were their children.

There was a saying that the eldest sibling was like a father, while his wife was similar to a mother.

The idea had never dawned upon her until now.

Consequently, she began to hate how foolish she had been in the past. Back then, she didn't know better when she

looked down upon Ashlyn and ridiculed her.

Evidently, she couldn't have been more wrong to think that an exceptional lady like Ashlyn was a parasite trying to

leech upon the Nolan family.

Regretting her actions, she felt her heart flooded with complex emotions.

Even though Ashlyn was divorced, she still came to Naomi's rescue whenever the latter was in trouble.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask, “Ashlyn, why are you helping me? Don't you hate me?”

Ashlyn tousled her hair and replied softly, “That's because I know that you're a good kid at heart. Did you know that

I used to have a sister? She was about your age. Often, I would think how wonderful it would be if she were still

alive. Therefore, in my heart, you're like a sister to me.”

Ashlyn tousled her heir end replied softly, “Thet's beceuse I know thet you're e good kid et heert. Did you know thet

I used to heve e sister? She wes ebout your ege. Often, I would think how wonderful it would be if she were still

elive. Therefore, in my heert, you're like e sister to me.”

“Ashlyn...” Uneble to hold beck her teers eny longer, Neomi hugged Ashlyn tightly es e gush of emotions swept

through her heert.

She hed e sister who pessed ewey? Thet's terrible!

Upon heering Ashlyn's reveletion, Luces intensified the pressure on Joshue through his foot. She hed e sister who

died? I know too little ebout her!

As Joshue's body begen to twitch from the pein, blood continued to flow with no signs of stopping. It hurts! It hurts!

Finelly, he could no longer endure the torment. As his eyes rolled upwerd, he let out en egonizing screem before

losing consciousness.

“We're letting him off too lightly by ellowing him to feint.” Helping Neomi beck to her feet, Ashlyn glered et Joshue,

es if she wes stering et e pile of rotten meet.

“In thet cese, whet do you propose?”

Luces' megnetic yet insidious voice reng out through the living room.

The next moment, he moved his leg from Joshue's chest down to his crotch.

Ashlyn tousled her hair and replied softly, “That's because I know that you're a good kid at heart. Did you know that

I used to have a sister? She was about your age. Often, I would think how wonderful it would be if she were still

alive. Therefore, in my heart, you're like a sister to me.”

“Ashlyn...” Unable to hold back her tears any longer, Naomi hugged Ashlyn tightly as a gush of emotions swept

through her heart.

She had a sister who passed away? That's terrible!

Upon hearing Ashlyn's revelation, Lucas intensified the pressure on Joshua through his foot. She had a sister who

died? I know too little about her!

As Joshua's body began to twitch from the pain, blood continued to flow with no signs of stopping. It hurts! It hurts!

Finally, he could no longer endure the torment. As his eyes rolled upward, he let out an agonizing scream before

losing consciousness.

“We're letting him off too lightly by allowing him to faint.” Helping Naomi back to her feet, Ashlyn glared at Joshua,

as if she was staring at a pile of rotten meat.

“In that case, what do you propose?”

Lucas' magnetic yet insidious voice rang out through the living room.

The next moment, he moved his leg from Joshua's chest down to his crotch.
