Chapter 1063 The Truth That Shocked Everyone

It must be fake.

Everyone else present was also nervously staring at Charlie. Finnick could not help but ask, "Mr. Charlie, is the medicine... real or fake?" Lily said curiously, "That's right. Mr. Charlie, please say something! Afte all, the medicine is for my dad. If it's real, that would be great. But if it's fake..."

Lily did not continue speaking, but her expression revealed her true feelings. Lily just wanted Ashlyn to be humiliated! Lily even secretly hoped that the medicine was fake. Even if Nelson could not get good medicine, she still wanted to see Ashlyn being humiliated.

Dozens of pairs of eyes were fixed on Charlie, and the atmosphere in the entire corridor was extremely quiet. Lucas lowered his gaze, his thick eyelashes framing his eyes as he stared intently at his phone screen. It seemed as if everything there had nothing to do with him.

He was so quiet that even his breath seemed to carry silence. Meanwhile, his other hand remained protectively behind the woman's waist, preventing her body from sliding down. Ashlyn nestled in Lucas' arms and was breathing evenly. Just at that moment, Charlie suddenly bent his upright posture and lowered his dignified head, which was usually held high in Jadeborough. With a respectful tone, Charlie said to the woman, "Boss, don't sleep anymore... Wake up?"

He was not only respectful but also extremely cautious. His attitude was exactly the same as how Trevor treated Ashlyn. Everyone was shocked as they stared in disbelief with wide eyes. They wondered what was going on. The owner of the largest auction house in Jadeborough, Charlie, was someone everyone respectfully addressed as "Mr. Charlie" when they met him.

Charlie's status in Jadeborough was extraordinary. He had connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world. He had an extensive network of contacts and knew a lot of big shots. Everyone would give him some respect upon meeting him. Now, Charlie was actually behaving so respectfully toward someone. Chloe's face, which initially revealed a joyful and expectant expression, suddenly became contorted and stiff.

All the anticipation and longing in her eyes from before had now turned into shock. Her facial muscles were twitching.

"What... What did you say? How is that possible?" Chloe nearly let out a scream. She no longer cared about her image as an expert or professor. She was shocked, and her voice almost broke. "Mr. Charlie, what kind of joke is this!"

How could he possibly humble himself and call Ashlyn "boss"?

Chloe almost doubted that there was something wrong with her ears. Brianna supported Chloe, who was almost about to faint. At that moment, Brianna's high and mighty behavior as the number one socialite had completely vanished, leaving only shock and disbelief.

"Mr. Charlie, have you mistaken her for someone else? Did you get it wrong? She... She's just a rural doctor from the small town of Lake City. She... She's just a..." Brianna said.

Just as Brianna was about to say something more, she was suddenly interrupted by Charlie's displeasure.

"Ms. Jackovich, please mind your manners and your status. Although my boss has been living in Lake City for a long time, her position in my heart is incomparable to anyone else." The man's voice was sonorous and powerful, filled with a deep sense of displeasure. The support for Ashlyn was evident, and anyone could feel it.

At that moment, Ashlyn slowly opened her eyes. Her beautiful hazel eyes were tinged with faint bloodshot streaks, revealing her displeasure from lack of sleep. She could not sleep well, and her mood was terrible. Moreover, she had a serious case of morning grumpiness. She managed to hold on until then, solely for the sake of Trevor. She lifted her bloodshot eyes, glancing at Chloe and Brianna, the mentor and the mentee.

"So noisy." With a faint hint of hoarseness in her voice, Ashlyn said, "No one will think you're mute if you don't speak. If you like screaming, I don't mind sending you straight to Alendor to work in the mines."

"Who... Who do you think you are? Do you really think you're some kind of big shot?" Brianna, upon hearing Ashlyn's harsh words, could not help but exclaim unhappily. In the next moment, the woman suddenly made her move. Her figure rushed in front of Brianna like a flash of lightning. No one could see clearly how she appeared in front of Brianna. It happened in just a blink of an eye.
