Chapter 23 Car Accident

Her goal was already half achieved. Suspicion was the most fearful thing between men and women. Hearing this, Emma smiled imperceptibly.

"Lucas, I don't want you to be cheated. That's why I asked about it. How can you take evidence to prove love? But as the saying goes, loopholes don't make any difference. It depends on what you think."

She pretended to be nice to him but she didn't mean to that. Then she didn't say anything

She knew the essence of sowing discord. She must leave enough time for him to think about it. That would be more exciting than telling him directly.

"Get out," Lucas said to her.

"Lucas..."

"Get out!"

He raised his voice and almost roared out. Hearing that, Emma's shoulder trembled, and walked out with her mouth pouted.

He called Martin to come in.

"Mr. Lucas, what can I do for you?"

"Go and find out what happened between Luke and Ashley in high school. I'll give you ten minutes!"

Martin swallowed and thought, "What's going on?" Lucas paused for a moment and raised his eyes. "Hurry up!"

"Okay, I'll do it right now."

His failure to hold the press conference had already made Lucas doubt his ability. If he couldn't do it well, he could leave the company.

Ten minutes later.

"Mr. Lucas, everything you want is in it."

Lucas took over the printed materials. Only seeing a few photos made him furious. He covered the backside of the file and asked Martin to get to the point.

"Get to the point!"

"Yes, sir." Martin managed to organize his words in his heart and carefully spoke out the key point he thought: "Before Mr. Luke came back to the Lucas family, he and Mrs. Lucas were in the same high school. At that time, Mr. Luke was not very popular and often bullied. It was Mrs. Lucas who helped him to solve his problem and let him integrate into the group. During the whole high school period, they were... Good friends. If you need anything after graduation from high school, I will investigate it for you."

"No, thanks."

It seemed that Lucas had lost all his strength. The photos and relevant materials had proved to him that there was an unusual relationship between Ashley and Luke. And it will be the relationship between Ashley and Jake in the university. He didn't think he wanted to recall it again.

"Mr. Lucas... The high school students in the past were all very pure, not..."

"Get out, close the door!"

Lucas interrupted him. He felt bad. He could endure Jake as if he was in the past, but he couldn't endure Luke. Moreover, they were still in touch.

He threw the material into the trash can ruthlessly, and the photo he turned over seemed to mock himself

That night, he didn't go home.

In the past two days, Ashley had a little conflict with him. She had thought it through. Love was a matter of two people. She couldn't only let him tolerate her, and she had to learn to tolerate him. So she asked the cook to cook a large table of his favorite dishes.

But after waiting for a long time, she looked up at her watch many times. He didn't come back until eleven o'clock and the dishes were cold.

"Madam, let me heat the food." The cook asked for her opinion.

She turned around and went upstairs. "No, thanks. You can leave now."

There was no missed call. She tried to call him, but no one answered.

She was getting more and more agitated. She didn't know what was bothering him.

It was so quiet outside that even the sound of breeze flying over the grass could be heard clearly. At this time, Ashley received a call from Luke.

"Ashley, are you at home?"

"Yes. What can I do for you?" Ashley was depressed and spoke weakly.

It seemed that the person on the other end of the line hesitated for a while. Luke nodded and then he didn't say anything. After more than ten seconds, he intermittently said to her, "There's one thing... You may not know, right?"

"What?"

She grabbed the sheet tightly, feeling that it must have something to do with Lucas.

"Is Lucas with you?" He asked abruptly

She pursed her lips and said, "He hasn't come back yet. Maybe he is working overtime. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"It's hard to explain it clearly in a few words. But Emma, you should know that she was a famous actress, just came back from abroad, and forwarded your blog."

She couldn't get the point from Luke's words, so she had to answer him honestly.

"I know her. What's wrong with her?"

"She had an oral engagement with Lucas before she went abroad. The two families were very satisfied with each other. They planned to let her get engaged after she came back. She was very sad when she heard that you and Lucas had been married. She went to the company today. I think you should know about it. I'm sorry to call you so late."

Luke said politely and every word he said was for her sake. After hearing his words, Ashley only said that she was fine.

"Thank you for telling me this. It's late. Go to bed early. Good night."

"Okay, don't think too much. Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Luke changed the concern on his face. A crafty smile appeared on his face and rotated the phone flexibly.

Ashley put down her phone with mixed feelings. She didn't expect that Lucas had a fiancé before her. Then what was the difference between her and a mistress? Just now, Luke said that Emma had gone to the company. Were they together now?

Her mind was in a mess. She didn't sleep well last night. She curled up into a ball and felt that she had become the helpless and lonely girl again.

She dreamed that night when she was abandoned in an orphanage. It was so cold that no matter how hard she cried, the man didn't look back

On the second day, her head was heavy as if she was filled with lead when she woke up. She washed and changed her clothes and went downstairs. The servant reminded her to have breakfast.

"I don't want to eat today. I'll go to the company."

Ashley left the villa and drove away without looking back. The car came to the noisy downtown. The red light stopped her and she didn't drive again until nearly a minute later.

Suddenly, a car rushed over from the right intersection at a fast speed and knocked her out.

Her ears were buzzing. Someone screamed, someone called the police, someone... She had lost her consciousness.

"Now I'm broadcasting a piece of news. Just now, there was a car accident at the intersection of Conch Road. Two drivers were seriously injured"

Last night, Lucas didn't go anywhere in the company. He had read the news the early morning. The car at the car accident scene had been badly hit. He felt very familiar with it. There was a lady's watch lying on the ground, which was smoking.

The firefighters, traffic police, and medical staff were all there. He was so scared that he threw the documents at his hand away and rushed out without taking his suit jacket.

"Mr. Lucas, you..."

Seeing him running out in a hurry, Martin followed him immediately.
