My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) -
Chapter 1077
Chapter 1077 Crisis
Throughout his life, he had encountered people from all walks of life, and that compelled him to consider every situation he was in more carefully. However, Ashlyn gifting him the medicine truly gave him a bit of a shock.
Unbeknownst to him, Ashlyn's words were her heartfelt thoughts.
Rulent 133 was just a pill to her, no more than a medicine.
Taking in Ashlyn's demeanor, Sabrina couldn't help but frown. What's with this act? Pretending to be so indifferent to money? It's truly nauseating. Nevertheless, she smiled at Neil and said, "Mr. Yarrow, you're always welcome to visit us again in the future."
"Escort Mr. Yarrow back," Lucas instructed his subordinates. Silas immediately walked over. "Mr. Yarrow, please follow me." "Lately, it seems like all I've been seeing are elderly people in their twilight years. That really put a damper on Ashlyn's mood.
Right after Neil left, Sabrina's phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID before answering, "Hello."
"What did you say?" Sabrina's expression changed drastically and her eyes widened in disbelief. "Our system has been attacked and is on the verge of collapse? Who is it? Who dares to attack Section Six's defense system?"
Upon hearing Sabrina's shrill voice, everyone present was shocked and quickly gathered around her.
"Ms. Gray, what happened?"
"Someone's attacking us? But our defense system was developed by you and the team. How could it be under attack and on the verge of collapse?"
Sabrina's face turned pale as she hung up the phone. She quickly walked over to Lucas, looking up at the handsome and stern man in front of her. "Mr. Nolan, I need to return to the technical department immediately. The new energy we developed may have caught the eye of someone with ill intentions, and they are attempting to steal it. If—”
"Go now," Lucas commanded in a deep voice, his gaze icy and stern. "Everyone should go. Gather all the technical experts from Section Six and head to the technical department. Sabrina, you will take charge as the commander-in-chief."
"Yes." Sabrina nodded, immediately turning around and heading towards the direction of the technical department.
The castle spanned a vast area, with the technical department located on the sixth floor.
Sabrina was the first to enter the elevator, with the other subordinates closely following behind.
Lucas looked at Ashlyn beside him. Her clear eyes reflected a hint of indifference. Under the light, her exquisite face was porcelain white, almost transparent.
She was very fair, exceptionally so. Her paleness was strikingly eye-catching.
"I may not be able to accompany you. Can I replace someone else to keep you company and stroll around with you?" Lucas looked at Ashlyn with a hint of apology, "Honey, someone is "
Ashlyn interrupted him, "I know. Someone is attacking Section Six's computer system. It's okay. You guys go handle it. I'll just wander around. This castle is so big, so there should be fun places to explore. You don't need to replace someone to accompany me."
However, Lucas was not at ease. She was new there, and there were many hidden places in Section Six that were off-limits.
If she didn't have a pass and ended up clashing with the guards, that wouldn't be good.
Lucas slightly curled his lips, turning to the men in black behind him and asking, "Is anyone willing to accompany Ashlyn for a stroll nearby?"
As key members of Section Six, how could they possibly accompany a woman for a stroll in the garden, especially amid the critical juncture? Everyone wanted to flock to the technical department to stay informed.
They were particularly eager to know if their research and development achievements had been stolen.
During that time, anyone not staying in the technical department would be a fool.
Lucas furrowed his brows, speaking with a hint of displeasure. "My wife is the lady of Section Six. What's with your attitude?"
Listening to Lucas introducing Ashlyn as the lady of Section Six instantly caused a wave of discontent among those people.
It wasn't that they refused to acknowledge Lucas; it was that they refused to acknowledge Ashlyn.
They figured she was just a mysterious woman with a slightly more appealing appearance who hailed from a small place like Lake City. How formidable can she be? Even if she knows some medical skills and is capable of acquiring a piece of Rulent 133, what difference would it make?
