Chapter 21 Childhood Sweetheart Came Back

She twisted her wrist and broke free from his grip.

"I asked Vicky to investigate. The spectators see the chess game better than the players. I know you have also found out the background of those media, but you don't have the record."

Lucas squinted his eyes and turned on the recording pen with doubt. The conversation in it made his face turn cold immediately. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, he could quickly shift the blame to the adverse media with the recording.

He thought for a while. The overall situation was the most important now, and he was afraid that his attitude towards Ashley would make her afraid.

He sat down beside her and held her in his arms. "I'm sorry. I was too excited just now. I was afraid that you would be used by others."

Noticing his tender side, she didn't have the heart to blame him. After all, she was also responsible for it.

She gently patted his broad back and leaned on his shoulder. "I understand, but I have my judgment."

"Okay, I'm going to sleep. Thank you."

Lucas didn't want to say anything more. He held her in his arms and lay down, carefully not touching her belly He was fearing that it would affect the baby.

The second morning, Ashley didn't see Lucas when he got up. The servant told her that he had gone to work.

Thinking of what happened yesterday, she felt very uncomfortable.

Although yesterday's recording was useful, she knew that as long as the media didn't get close to her and Lucas, they wouldn't stop.

She summoned up great courage to sort out the ins and outs of the matter and post it online, which shocked the onlookers.

"Mr. Lucas, after Mr. Luke left the company yesterday, he did go to the cafe with Miss Ashley. I don't know what they said."

As soon as Lucas arrived at the company, he asked Martin to check where Luke went yesterday. It was just like what he thought.

Yesterday, he had vaguely known that Luke was playing a trick. As he expected, this man wanted to use Ashley again.

"Let's make this public first. I'll deal with Luke."

"Yes, sir."

Martin took the recorder pen, but when he was about to go out, he turned around and seemed to struggle and hesitate before telling him something.

"Mr. Lucas, there are two more things."

"Tell me!"

He walked quickly and showed Ashley's blog to him. "Just now, Mrs. Lucas made a statement and presented the evidence to prove your innocence."

Lucas grabbed the phone immediately. In the blog article, Ashley took all the responsibility on herself. On the one hand, people aim at the media. On the other hand, they said that she was a scheming woman. Instead of blaming Lucas, they sympathized with him. The public opinion was quickly reversed!

"Who let her do that?" He was so angry and didn't want her to protect him in this way.

He was not that kind of coward. But before he could speak, Martin opened another blog for him.

This was a blog by the best actress, Emma. She forwarded Ashley's blog, with a text:

"Lucas and I grew up together since we were children. I know what kind of person he is. If he hadn't been bewitched by someone, he wouldn't have bad luck like this. It's a good thing someone has a conscience, otherwise..."

Upon hearing this, millions of her fans flocked to Ashley's blog.

A commercial crisis had weakened into an entertainment event.

"Why did Emma come here? Isn't she making a movie abroad?"

"Miss Emma just got off the plane today. The movie has been finished."

After saying that, Martin looked at him sympathetically and said from the company's point of view, "In fact, our crisis is solved in this way, and the public relations department can deal with the aftermath. You don't have to worry too much."

"Do you think I'm worried about the company? It's just a small crisis. Do you think I need a woman to fight for me?"

"I didn't mean that..."

"Get out!"

"Yes, sir."

He felt a sharp pain in his head. He didn't expect Ashley to do this for him. Didn't she know what kind of impact the blog would have on her!

He immediately called her, but the line was busy, so he had to hang up.

In the afternoon, he specially went back home early, but the servant told him that Ashley had gone out and hadn't come back yet. He went out to look for her anxiously.

He finally answered the phone. He asked where she was in a hurry.

She told him the address.

"Wait for me there. Don't go anywhere. I'll be there soon."

The evening glow faded with the passage of time. Fifteen minutes later, he came to Ashley.

The car in front of him had left. He was familiar with the license plate number. It was Luke's car.

He put his hand on the steering wheel tightly. Outside, Ashley knocked on the window and he rolled it down.

With a trace of coldness on his face, he said, "Get in the car."

Ashley thought he was worried about her, so she quickly got on the passenger seat and explained to him.

"I'm sorry. My phone number was leaked. The phone has been ringing in, so I didn't receive your call."

"Is there anyone following you?" He asked worriedly

"No."

"That's good." Lucas heaved a sigh of relief and said seriously, "You were too impulsive today. It's not safe for you to come out alone at this time."

Receiving his concern, Ashley's heart was full of warmth. She shyly turned her head and opened the window to disperse the heat.

"I just came out to meet a friend."

"A friend?" Lucas sneered and looked at her as if he wanted to see through her heart. "Well, what friend? Do I know him?"

Ashley bit her lips and shook her head. "I don't think you want to know him."

He leaned back and thought to himself. Luke is worth hiding from him. Even a stone should be warmed by him.

"Go back."

On the way, Ashley wanted to ask him about the business of his company, but he always said a few words. She didn't understand why he was still unhappy after solving all problems.

She was not the kind of person who was good at flattering others. If he didn't speak, she would no longer show him excessive attention. The latter half of the road was silent.

The wind blew in from the roadside. Lucas closed the window on the other side of the car, but he still didn't say anything.

Ashley just looked outside. His face was so cold. She didn't know what she had done to him.

As soon as Ashley got out of the car, she walked back directly without waiting for him. The servant saw that and asked her if she should prepare the night snack for them...

"No, I'm full. I think Mr. Lucas must be full too. There's no need to waste it."

The servant was confused by her sarcastic words. Lucas came in with a sullen face. The servant opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. He asked her to get off work.

At the same time, Luke was looking at Ashley's blog with a smile at the corners of his mouth. He clicked on the forwarding with the most supports. Then he chose to send the private message and typed the next sentence in the dialog box.

"Do you want to take Lucas back? I can help you..."
