My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas)
Chapter 508

Chapter 508

"Alright, that's enough idle chit-chat. Come and help start a fire!" Joseph called out towards a few other men.

Will helped to set up the barbecue pit and asked, "Mr. Joseph, what brought this barbecue party on?"

"I was just bored," Joseph shrugged.

They had bought pre-prepared skewers that only needed to be grilled on the rack.

The ladies brought by Joseph's friends were all dolled up and they approached Charlotte.

Joseph was the son of Mr. Field, who was on par with Lucas in terms of status.

He usually did not interact with any females at all and this was the first time anyone had seen him with a woman.

Based on the way he cared for her, they knew that she must have been someone special.

"Ms. Lynch, we'll all be friends in the future. There's nothing to hide, so why don't you take off that mask?"

The lady who spoke was Yvonne, an internet celebrity, and she could not stand the way Charlotte acted as if she was a delicate and pure maiden. "I... I..." Charlotte opened her mouth but was unsure of what to say.

The injuries on her face coupled with the fact that she was autistic by nature made her feel inferior to others.

She looked down and averted the gazes of these pretty ladies.

"Hey now, what are you guys doing? Don't bully Ms. Lynch, alright?" Will instructed when he saw Yvonne and the other ladies surrounding Charlotte. "That's right, Ms. Lynch is young, so take good care of her," another man called out.

Seeing how protective the men are towards Charlotte, the women became livid.

They were aware that they were just playthings to these men. But when they heard them defending Charlotte, they were upset.

What's so great about this woman? She can't even let others see her face! If it weren't for the fact that Joseph brought her here, no one would care about her! They were jealous.

Charlotte could not shake off the feeling that these women had a strange look in their eyes, but they were smiling brightly all the same.

Yet, she still felt something was off.

At this point, Joseph had cooked a few chicken wings and brought a plate filled with several lamb and beef skewers over. They were piping hot and fragrant. "Lottie, let's eat over there."

Charlotte's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously, "Sure."

She followed Joseph to a large tree and sat there with her back facing the rest.

Yvonne stared at her enviously and scorned, "She's probably an ugly woman, isn't she? Why else would she hide her face?"

"Hush! Give the two a little bit of privacy, will you! Who knows what they're doing there?" Will smiled suggestively. Everyone present understood what he meant by that and grinned. Yvonne smiled and whined coquettishly, "Will, feed me."

"Get lost! Why should I feed the likes of you? You're nothing but my plaything!" Will spat. "Go and get me some meat! How shameless!"

Yvonne's face fell.

She had intended to make a joke, but she turned into the joke herself.

The other ladies were sniggering at her, making her wish she could bury her head in a hole.

She had been on bad terms with Will lately, but she had not expected him to humiliate her publicly.

She was furious, but she had no avenue to vent her frustration.

She reluctantly trudged over to Will's side and helped him to grill some meat.

At this point, Joseph had returned with an empty plate, "Is there any freshly-grilled food?"

Will grabbed some food and placed it on Joseph's plate. He then rushed Yvonne, "Hurry up! Can't you see that Mr. Joseph and his sister are waiting?"
