Chapter 445

“Who are you?” Sharon pursed her lips.

“Does it matter? What matters is the fact that we have the same goal and that I can provide you with what you most need,” Mary replied. By then, she was certain Sharon had been lured.

Mary then handed Sharon the card and said, “I’ll be waiting for the great news from you.”

Once she finished delivering her first instruction, she left the café with Penelope.

Penelope whispered, “Mom, why did you give her so much money?”

“Do you think we need that million?” Mary tapped on her daughter’s head lightly as she explained to the young lady. “What’s a million as compared to ten million your grandmother has given me to cover the expenses of the trip? As long as we’re able to get rid of Ashlyn, it’s a trivial price to pay! In fact, I’m willing to spend five million just to get rid of her once and for all!”

“Erm... Are you sure Sharon will listen to us?” Penelope felt awful because her mother had disparaged her.

“I’m pretty sure she will.” Mary’s eyes sparkled. She had detected Sharon’s greed and her determination to seek revenge.

Those who have strong desires are the best pawns. Literally, they’ll carry out every single instruction we have for them.

Once Lucas returned to the manor with Ashlyn, Lilian came forward to welcome them. She had an odd expression on her face the moment she saw the duo.

Nevertheless, Lilian smiled and greeted them with her gleaming eyes, “Mr. Nolan, Ms. Berry. Welcome back!”

“Are you tired? Do you want to take a shower or a break first?” Lucas asked as he let go of Ashlyn’s hand.

Although the Starry Sky Formal Wear was a stunning piece, Ashlyn was exhausted because it was a pompous and heavy dress.
