Chapter 1067 Provocation
Someone said, “I feel the same way. It's just too strange.”
Then, another said, “But Mr. Charlie still calls her 'Boss'!”
The conversations between these people fell into the ears of Chloe and Brianna, the mentor and the mentee. The
two could not help but feel as if they were mocked. Then, the two women looked at each other simultaneously, and
their eyes were filled with intense hatred. After that, Brianna held Chloe tightly.
“Professor Yeatman, I must let my mother help me take revenge.”
“Brianna, you've been wronged. It's my fault for not protecting you well enough...”
Chloe sobbed uncontrollably as she added, “It's all because I'm too incompetent.”
“No, it's not your fault. The one at fault is Ashlyn.” Brianna stared intently at the closed elevator doors, and hatred
filled her eyes.
“In all my life, this is the first time someone has threatened me like this. When she was choking my neck, I thought I

“Brianna, don't say anymore. Forget all those unpleasant memories, all right?” Then, Chloe hugged Brianna tightly.
“Let's go, I'll take you away from here.” Finnick did not want to offend Chloe either, so he walked over with an
apologetic expression on his face.
“I'm sorry, I didn't expect Ashlyn to actually pull it off.”
“Finnick... Forget it, there's no need to mention her again.”
Chloe's face turned ashen, as she had never been so brutally humiliated since she became famous. It should be
said that no one has ever dared to humiliate her before. She was embarrassed there that day, but she would
definitely make a comeback in the future.
Moreover, she was determined to show Ashlyn who was the boss and make the latter understand what it truly
meant to be a big shot. Ashlyn and Lucas went straight back to the hotel. Trevor personally drove them to the hotel
entrance. Charlie had something to say to Ashlyn, and upon seeing Lucas' darkened face, Charlie could not help but
want to speak even more.
Therefore, at the hotel entrance, Charlie deliberately untied a men's scarf that had been tied around his neck.
Then, with his slender fingers, he ambiguously wrapped the scarf around Ashlyn's delicate neck.
“Jadeborough is colder than Lake City. It's better to dress more warmly when going out in the future.” As he spoke,
he swiftly and skillfully tied a knot in the scarf around Ashlyn's neck. The scarf still carried his body warmth. Seeing
the dead knot, he nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he glanced at Lucas from the corner of his eye. After that, he quickly withdrew his gaze and said, “Boss, I
originally wanted to discuss something with you, but... you must be tired today. Let's talk about it tomorrow.” Ashlyn
nodded lazily.
“This scarf is nice as it's very warm.” She did not notice Lucas's darkened expression, nor did she notice the
deliberate dead knot that Charlie had tied. “I'll be holding an auction the day after tomorrow. Will you attend it?”
Charlie asked again.
“I'm very busy.” The cool and detached woman stood at the hotel entrance. She looked like she was drowsy. She
meant that she did not have any free time.

her again. Ashlyn finally regained some clarity and asked, “Is it time for Old Mr. Sullivan to host his coffee banquet
again this year? He usually does it every three years.”
“Yes, that's right.”
“All right. I'll just attend it when the time comes. It's not good to embarrass Old Mr. Sullivan.”
Having said that, Ashlyn glanced at him impatiently.
“Why do you talk so much? Are you done? If so, I'm going upstairs.”
Finally, Lucas started to hear Ashlyn trying to drive Charlie away. Moreover, her tone was filled with impatience. At
last, Lucas' uneasy heart felt a little more comfortable.
“Honey, it's windy here. Let's head back quickly.”
Having said that, he gently pulled the delicate woman into his embrace. Upon seeing the intimate posture of the
two, Charlie's eyes, hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses, flickered rapidly. However, soon, a faint smile appeared
on his lips and he said, “Go ahead.” Lucas' expression was extremely cold and domineering, and the gaze he
directed at Charlie was filled with coldness.
Nevertheless, Charlie was not easily frightened. With a smirk on his lips that revealed a hint of provocation, he
turned around and strode away. Unbeknownst to anyone, delicate snowflakes began to drift through the sky. Trevor
could not help but want to slip away due to the conflicting atmosphere back then.
