My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas)
Chapter 558

Chapter 558

Even though the manor sat in a large area, it lacked a family's warmth.

It resembled a castle or even an invisible jail from afar.

When the gate slowly opened slowly, Lucas felt like the darkness devoured them.

He was reluctant to visit this place, yet he had no choice but to be here.

He held back his emotions and followed the butler to the lobby.

Meanwhile, nearly a hundred sturdy men had gathered in the dimly lit lobby.

A graceful man in a maroon shirt was sitting in the middle of the couch. He had the demeanor of a university professor or an academician.

His imposing aura and cold and sinister eyes made him look like a devil from hell.

The black-suited men in the lobby remained silent. The atmosphere was so depressing that they were gasping for breath.

The graceful man sitting on the couch was none other than Franklin Nolan, Lucas' father. Franklin was a prominent figure because he owned Nolan Research Institute, a private research institution in France. Because Livia ran the research institute with him, they lived in France for many years and rarely went home.

They didn't even attend the funeral of Charles Nolan.

Lucas perceived them as the most unfeeling and coldest parents on earth.

"Mr. Nolan, Lucas has returned."

"Come in," Franklin replied blandly.

He put a hand on the armrest of the couch and caressed the black cat with the other.

The black cat meowed uncomfortably, probably because Franklin stroked it too hard.

Crack! The next moment, he broke the black cat's neck.

Although the men witnessed Franklin killed the cat and threw it to the floor, none of them dared to pick up the dead body to bury it.

He was indeed terrifying when he was pissed off.

"Lucas."

When Lucas heard the familiar voice, he gave the man a cold-eyed stare and replied, "Father."

"Do you still treat me as your father?" Once Lucas finished, the man continued coldly.

"Father..."

"You have never come to the manor to visit your mom and me for the past two years. Do you think you can abandon your parents now because you have grown up?" "I'm sorry."

"I heard that you got a divorce," Franklin asked sternly. He was aware that his son didn't really love him as a father.

To be more accurate, his son couldn't wait to sever all ties with him.

"Father, you didn't care about me when I was married. But why are you concerned about it because I got a divorce?" Lucas looked at Franklin emotionlessly.

He felt that he was estranged from his parents, so much so that they were even worse than strangers.

"Humph! Why do I have to care about you? You don't deserve it! Don't you know the reason? There is no man crueler than you! You killed your own sister! She was sweet and innocent, yet she died because of you!"

While Franklin was scolding him, Lucas lowered his head and closed his eyes.

"If you purposely summoned me here to irritate me using my sister, save it."

As much as Lucas tried to remain calm, the burning rage in his eyes betrayed him.

He felt that someone was flinging rocks at his chest as a punishment.

"A heartless man like you don't deserve to be loved. That's why you got a divorce in the end. Look at you! You're a good-for-nothing. You couldn't even keep a woman by your side. You might have wealth and power, yet what happened in the end? Even your wife abandoned you because you are a price of trash! You're nothing but a murderer who killed your sister!"

When Franklin spoke, Lucas stared at him emotionlessly. Suddenly, he approached his son menacingly.
