Chapter 429
Suddenly, a pale and haggard woman rushed in and shouted, “Reedman!”
Slap!
The woman slapped Reedman right across the face.
Reedman was about to fight back, but he remembered he was in public and surrounded by reporters. He held his
temper and grabbed the woman’s hand, “Honey, what are you doing?”
The reporters broke into a flurry of conversation.
“It looks like our best performer and his wife have a great relationship.”
“Yeah, they look so in love.”
“But why did his wife slapped him?
“What’s going on? The police mentioned something about drugs.”

“I think so too.”
Ashlyn’s heard the reporters bootlicking Reedman, but she couldn’t care less.
She only had eyes for Lucas.
Her gaze fell on the man who had well-defined features like a statue. She wasn’t sure if it was because of the
lighting in the hallway, but this man was unbelievably handsome.
Lucas held a disquieting aura as he strode towards her. His gaze held haughtiness just like a high and mighty king
who belongs on a pedestal.
He always stunned the crowd whenever he made an appearance.
He was just so dashing and domineering.
Ashlyn looked at Lucas silently as he stopped in front of her. He lowered his eyes at this petite woman and noticed
her dress was torn. Then, he took off his tuxedo and draped it on her.
She was about to say something when she heard his cold voice said in a domineering tone, “Wear it properly! No
one can bully my woman!”
Ashlyn remained silent upon hearing Lucas’ reply. After his arrival, she felt an indescribable calmness.
She could handle this situation, but she felt more at ease when she knows he’s present.
It was an inexplicable feeling of trust where she could drop all pretenses and hand the situation over to Lucas to
handle.
When Reedman noticed all eyes were on Lucas and Ashlyn, he turned to his wife and warned her, “You better hold
your tongue, or I’ll cut it off!”
His wife looked at him with steely eyes and turned to the police, “I was the one who reported this anonymously. I
want to report him and O’Brien for abusing drugs and physically abused me!”
“What are you talking about?” Reedman roared angrily, “You’re crazy!”
He smiled wryly at everyone and said, “My wife is mentally ill. Her mind is not in the right state! Don’t listen to her,

“I’m fine!” Reedman’s wife pushed him away and pulled up her shirt aggressively. Her stomach and waist were
bruised and scarred.
She opened the button of her collar shirt and revealed a neck full of scars, old and new.
Everyone was dumbstruck!
“Do you know why I don’t have a uterus? When I was three months pregnant, he abused me and kicked my
stomach brutally. He kicked me until I had a miscarriage. I lost my child and my uterus! It’s all because of him!”
His wife couldn’t hold back her tears anymore, “I wanted a divorce for years. But, he wanted to maintain his
reputation as a good husband. He used me as a tool and refused to get a divorce. Whenever I brought the matter
up, he would use my life and my family’s life to threaten me! I can’t take it anymore!”
Everyone couldn’t believe their ears when they heard the words coming out from Reedman’s wife.
He kicked his own child to death and caused his wife’s uterus to be removed.
What he did was outrageous! How could Reedman be so inhumane?
“He spent all his money on drugs. Why is he close to O’Brien? Because they always take drugs together. After they
take drugs, they’ll find some young model or famous influencers to accompany them. All these years, countless
young girls had to succumb to their physical desire to survive in the industry!”
