My one in a million wife [Ashlyn and Lucas] chapter 81

"Impossible. How could Ms. Berry fight someone? She's the type who looks more like a victim," Spencer was stunned while driving. He really could not imagine how a gentlewoman like Ashlyn would get in a fight.

See, women are manipulative. I'm not the only one who's been deceived by her gentleness. Now, Lucas felt much better after knowing that. At the Chapman family villa.

Hera's eyes opened wide while reading the series of controversial discussions on Mrs. Nolan's divorce, which was tweeted by various reposts.

She was enjoying her moment reading all the comments by netizens and suddenly, the posts were gone.

It disappeared...

Not one article remained...

What happened?

Hera quickly sent a message to the previous email account but ten minutes had past and there was still no response.

She was getting anxious.

One hour went by and she finally received an email from the other party stating, "Someone offered a lucrative sum to withdraw the trending topic." "Damn it, make it viral again! I'll give you twenty thousand more," Hera replied.

"Sorry, can't mess with this one."

Glaring at her inbox, Hera gritted her teeth in fury.

She does not have a lot of cash in hand, yet she persevered, "Fifty thousand then."

"Sorry, we decline."

Hera was so mad that she smashed her laptop shut.

Alas, the Chapman family was no longer in their heyday. As a consequence, her monthly allowance was not on par with other socialites. More importantly, it was because she was not favored in the family.

The Chapman had three girls in her generation.

The ancestors of the Chapman family were court musicians and there had been maestros in each generation, except for Hera's generation.

Mr. Chapman, a great pianist, was chronically ill and would most likely pass away soon.

In order to inherit the family business, Hera's father focused on his role as a businessman. However, he could only rely on the old Mr. Chapman's contacts to get some small projects. The scope of their business was extremely insignificant if compared to South Star Airlines, Nolan Group, or North Wind Airlines.

All three female Chapman grandchildren followed their grandfather's footsteps and majored in music.

Although the Chapman girls studied music, won numerous awards, and even had their grandfather taught them personally, none of them met the true Chapman music benchmark.

Outsiders would praise their performance but insiders would only regard their musical skills as mediocre and not worthy of showcasing internationally. Especially in the recent two years where a young talent named Madeline Saunders appeared.

Madeline was in her twenties but her piano skills were already top-notch, if not perfect. She had won first place in the world's most prestigious international piano competition, earning many compliments and adoration.

The old Mr. Chapman fell ill because of this incident.

Other people's child could be a music prodigy overnight. How come I had three sons and three granddaughters but all possess only average skills? Where is my successor? How can I not be upset? If he knew that Hera wanted to learn from Madeline, he would probably die of rage on the hospital bed.

The good news was he was not aware of it yet.

Hera looked at the time and realized it was time to visit her grandfather. She had set a reminder and included hospital visits in her daily schedule.

It had always been her biggest goal to be the successor of the Chapman family. Thus, it was imperative for her to work hard on pleasing her grandfather.

She longed for the day she could be with Lucas and learn formally from Madeline, in order to bring glory and honor to her family.

Right when she was walking out of her room, she bumped into Mrs. Chapman, who then asked, "How's the development between you and Mr. Nolan?"

"Don't worry, mum, I got it," Hera tried to hide her annoyance and put on a well-behaved attitude.

"News about him having a wife is all over the Internet," Mrs. Chapman was troubled, "Our family has a good name and your grandfather has been a nobleman all of his life. Please don't ruin the family's reputation."
