My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 1305 Viral

She was already wearing high heels, and then she was sprawled on the ground in such an embarrassing state, making her feel both ashamed and angry. Besides, it was painful.

Her fingers, adorned with long, beautiful nail extensions, scraped against the ground, breaking several of them. The pain was so intense that she grimaced, unable to maintain any semblance of composure.

“Ah! These are my newly done nails.”

“Ms. Taylor, do you know why you can't play the piano well?” Charlotte walked up to Winona, looking at her damaged fingers. “Because you're too preoccupied with frivolous things. Which accomplished pianist would have such elaborate nails? It greatly affects the touch.” After she finished speaking, Charlotte turned to Joseph and said, “Joseph, let's go.”

“Ms. Taylor... Charlotte's too arrogant.” A member of the Piano Association, who had been watching the whole time, came over and helped Winona up from the ground. “She must be upset because Mrs. Taylor arranged for her to participate in the composition competition, so she took her resentment out on you.”

Winona stood up, looking at her own fingers with a pained expression. “It's okay. She'll get what's coming to her in a few days at the competition.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

She glared resentfully at Charlotte's retreating figure and said, “Charlotte, you just wait.”

Inside the hospital, Ashlyn and Lucas entered the ward, only to see James leaning against a pillow, sitting on the hospital bed, and having his breakfast.

“James, how are you feeling?” Ashlyn asked.

James chuckled. “Ashlyn? Lucas? You guys are here! I'm recovering well.”

Upon seeing the gift that Spencer had brought and placed on the table, Fae quickly said in a polite manner, “Why bring a gift when you come to visit? We're practically family, not strangers. James really dodged a bullet this time. We don't even know who's pulling strings behind the scenes.”

“Mrs. Field, don't worry. Section Six is currently investigating this matter,” Lucas said softly. “Mr. Field just took office. There will definitely be people who have been coveting this position feeling dissatisfied. After all, managing the entire Jadeborough is a dream job, no?”

“You're right.” Fae sighed. “The higher one climbs, the colder it gets.”

James seemed quite relaxed about it. “The President has also ordered the police to investigate this matter. Everything should come to light in due time.”

Ashlyn was flipping through James' medical report. After a while, she said, “It's nothing serious. He just needs some rest and recuperation.”

She set down the medical record, only to notice a considerable number of gifts piled up in the ward. It seemed that many of the distinguished nobles from Jadeborough had already come to visit James.

After all, with the new secretary of state just taking office and such an incident happening, everyone would want to curry favor and make themselves known.

Just then, Spencer, who had been sitting on the couch scrolling through his phone, let out a low murmur, “Mr. Joseph?”

“What's wrong?” Lucas lazily sat on the couch, his commanding presence palpable even in his seated position, affecting everyone in the ward.

“Mr. Nolan, look at this.” Spencer moved next to him and handed him the phone.

Lucas' deep eyes looked over, only to see the trending topic high up on the hot search: Newly- appointed Secretary of State's Son, Mr. Joseph, Publicly Beats Woman on the Street.

He watched the short video. The image was crystal clear. Joseph was protecting Charlotte in his arms while his other hand was clutching a woman's neck.

The woman seemed vaguely familiar, but as he generally paid little attention to women, he couldn't immediately recall who she was.

Ashlyn furrowed her brows and heard her phone chiming. It was the latest news update from Twitter.

As a result, she saw the short video of Joseph.

“Winona! Did this woman bully Lottie? Is that why Joe is so angry?”

“Is the girl from the Taylor family?” Lucas sharply raised his eyes to look at Ashlyn.

They exchanged a glance and knew who the suspect was.

“Lottie and Joe haven't returned yet, but this matter has already hit the trending list. It's clear that there's a driving force behind it,” Lucas quickly concluded.

Fae was a bit confused. “What are you talking about?”

“Look.” Ashlyn handed her phone over. Upon seeing it, Fae's face turned pale.
