Chapter 647
“Despite our efforts, Centennial Healthcare is still like a newborn child compared to the corporations incorporated
centuries ago. As we grow, we grow with the hope that we will eventually grow into a massive tree that could
protect our country and her people under our shade!”
After giving her speech, Ashlyn gracefully walked down the stage as she returned to her seat.
Her exquisite face was eye-catching. The white business attire covering her body did not make her look stiff but
instead further amplified her presence.
The appearance of such a beautiful yet capable female chairperson immediately had the audience clapped
enthusiastically.
The figureheads from the business world all came from different countries in the world, and they were all important
individuals in their own countries.
Yet, they were all uncontrollably praising the lady. After all, the growth of Centennial Healthcare was in eye-visible

The meeting ended at noon sharp, and the participants were invited to a luxurious buffet lunch in one of the main
halls of the building by the organizers.
The hall was decorated lavishly and fashionably with all sorts of ornaments everywhere, and the dishes were
beyond perfection.
In fact, in order to have the tongues of the many participants from various countries taken care of, the organizers
had prepared delicacies from different cuisines. Lucas, however, had his eyes locked on the lady surrounded by the
many people, and his gaze was sharp while jealously consumed him.
Without a second thought, he took a step forward as he was trying to approach Ashlyn. But before he could move
any further, he was met with another woman, who stumbled as she slowly approached him.
She had her hand on her forehead, and she seemed to be in great pain. “Oh... My head... It hurts...”
Seeing this, Lucas frowned right away, for he never liked being a gentleman.
With a movement that was not lacking in both agility and flexibility, Lucas precisely avoided the woman while she
fell straight onto the ground.
The woman had it all planned out. The handsome-looking man would catch her like a hero, and the two would then
exchange numbers. No matter how she looked at it, she thought that there would be a series of events between
them that would eventually lead them into the bed.
Yet, the man actually ignored her like she was nothing but thin air.
Kimberly Powell was very confident with her appearance, which ignited her anger because she took this as a
humiliation after being ignored. With her golden hair and her magnificent physique, men around her lusted for her.
But this man was undoubtedly one of a kind.
It was also at this moment that a fat man rushed forward, helped her up, and politely asked, “Miss, are you all
right? Do you need any help?”
“No, I'm fine!” scorned Kimberly.
She then directed her vision toward the direction where Lucas had left, only to find him walking straight toward a
beautiful lady. The lady was smiling from the conversations she held with the other figureheads, but her expression

That lady... She's the chairperson that was giving a speech just now? Who cares! She's not even as rich as I am!
She was the daughter of the world's most reputable oil tycoon.
Very good, you have my attention, pretty boy. Let's see if you'd choose me or that woman.
Kimberly was here at the summit to accompany her father, Timothy Powell. Her father brought her here to let her
experience more and widen her connections.
There was no way that he would ever expect that instead of trying to meet his expectations, his daughter was
actually preying on a man, only to be ignored like a nobody.
Meanwhile, after exchanging business cards with a few people, Ashlyn kept a smile on her face and suggested,
“Gentlemen, we can have a seat here if you'd like to.”
With that said, she pointed toward a table near the window.
If a lady was capable and beautiful, she would always easily become the center of attention, just like Ashlyn.
Hence, the men around her immediately seated around the table after receiving the beauty's invitation.
At that exact moment, a handsome man in a black suit bolted out with a stern expression and sat right beside
Ashlyn.
With Jared sitting on the left of Ashlyn, and Lucas on the right, an awkward atmosphere spread around the table.
