My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 1241 Slap

Immediately, a team of well-trained guards rushed over, escorting all the members of the Guzman family to their seats.

Marilyn cried out loudly, “No... Mr. President, they are all bad people. They ruined our family! They destroyed us!”

Her voice gradually faded away, leaving the entire banquet hall in utter silence.

No one dared to make a sound.

The atmosphere was eerie and terrifying.

It was so quiet that it was as if everyone present were mere puppets, with only the occasional sound of breathing to be heard.

After a while, Ashlyn chuckled softly, “What a great show this is.”

As soon as she spoke up, no one dared to respond carelessly.

Lucas spoke up lightly. “Are you tired from watching the drama? If you're tired, we can go home.”

“Sure!” Ashlyn nodded, then turned to Liam, “Shall we, Mr. Cartier?”

Only then did Liam turn his gaze to Ashlyn. She's beautiful. So, this is the legendary Mrs. Nolan? I've heard she has countless secret identities. A woman who can keep Lucas in check is indeed extraordinary.

He nodded. “I suppose I must obey the orders of Lucas' wife.”

The moment Ashlyn heard that she almost tripped and fell to the ground.

She was shocked that he'd call her that.

Seeing her usually calm face slightly change, Lucas couldn't help but grin with amusement. “What's the matter? Feeling bashful?”

“Bashful, my *ss!” Ashlyn raised her hand and gave his waist a twist.

Yuri was led by Liam's firm grip, feeling a bit dizzy as she followed the man's steps. As soon as she turned around, the President quickly stepped in front of her, blocking her path. “Yuri, can you listen to me for a moment?”

Yuri paused, lifting her gaze to the middle-aged man before her. She wasn't sure if it was due to excessive toil over the years or the harsh blow he received earlier that he seemed to have aged significantly.

She looked at him calmly. “Is there something you need?”

Seeing her attitude, the President suppressed his displeasure and still showed what he believed to be a benevolent smile. He said, “I apologize for my foolishness over the years. I swear, from now on, I will make it up to you and Renae. I have failed as a father.”

If it weren't for Liam, he would never utter that apology.

He thought Yuri would be overwhelmed with gratitude, that she would be exceptionally satisfied.

However, Yuri just glanced at him. “I accept your apology, but if you want to make amends, forget it. Your heart only has room for your stepson. There's no place for me in your heart. In my heart, my father has long been gone.”

The President was holding back a surge of anger.

He humbled himself to make amends with Yuri, but she still stubbornly put on airs.
