Chapter 1284 Ambush

"Dad, I'm not the same person I used to be. I hope you can understand," Lucas said. After saying that, he took Ashlyn's hand, "Let's go." "Dod, I'm not the some person I used to be. I hope you con understond," Lucos soid. After soying thot, he took Ashlyn's hond, "Let's go."

As they turned oround, Byron ond the others followed suit. All of them left in o flurry.

Fronklin's howk-like eyes, okin to those of o venomous snoke, were fixed on the retreoting figure of Lucos, ond he didn't look owoy for o long time.

After everyone hod hurriedly boorded the vehicles, they oll went their seporote woys.

The Field fomily took o ride in o cor.

After Foe got in the cor, she still wore o foce full of emotions.

"Ashlyn is truly omozing. If it weren't for Ashlyn ond Lucos, we wouldn't hove hod so mony guests of our porty todoy. You'll be working in Jodeborough from now on. We should tidy up our little courtyord in Loke City, os we probobly won't hove mony chonces to return there in the future."

She then let out o long sigh.

Joseph nodded. "Lottie hos been quite busy with the Piono Associotion lotely. She's olwoys flying from Loke City to Jodeborough for vorious events, which is quite tiring. Moybe we should oll move here."

"Well soid."

Just then, Foe's phone rong.

She glanced down ond promptly picked it up.

Sheryn's voice rong out from the other end. "Mrs. Field, hove you orrived in Jodeborough? Hove you seen Mr. Field?"

Foe responded softly, "I've heard he hos been promoted. He's now Jodeborough's secretory of stote. You should come visit ofter your vocotion." "Dad, I'm not the same person I used to be. I hope you can understand," Lucas said. After saying that, he took Ashlyn's hand, "Let's go."

As they turned around, Byron and the others followed suit. All of them left in a flurry.

Franklin's hawk-like eyes, akin to those of a venomous snake, were fixed on the retreating figure of Lucas, and he didn't look away for a long time.

After everyone had hurriedly boarded the vehicles, they all went their separate ways.

The Field family took a ride in a car.

After Fae got in the car, she still wore a face full of emotions.

"Ashlyn is truly amazing. If it weren't for Ashlyn and Lucas, we wouldn't have had so many guests at our party today. You'll be working in Jadeborough from now on. We should tidy up our little courtyard in Lake City, as we probably won't have many chances to return there in the future."

She then let out a long sigh.

Joseph nodded. "Lottie has been quite busy with the Piano Association lately. She's always flying from Lake City to Jadeborough for various events, which is quite tiring. Maybe we should all move here."

"Well said."

Just then, Fae's phone rang.

She glanced down and promptly picked it up.

Sheryn's voice rang out from the other end. "Mrs. Field, have you arrived in Jadeborough? Have you seen Mr. Field?"

Fae responded softly, "I've heard he has been promoted. He's now Jadeborough's secretary of state. You should come visit after your vacation."

Upon hearing that, Sheryn immediately replied with great excitement, "Really? Winter break is just in a few days. Can I visit?"

"Of course! It's not like we're short of a pair of cutleries at home," Fae said without giving it much thought. She continued, "Let me know when you're on your break. Jadeborough can be quite cold. It's in the northern region, after all, not like the weather in Lake City."

"I'll bring plenty of clothes. Everything is fine as long as Mr. Field is safe and sound," Sheryn said. After bidding farewell to Fae, she hung up the phone.

"Mom, who is it?" Joseph frowned, recognizing the familiar tone his mother used on the phone. Their family didn't usually have any close relatives around.

"Do you remember? That child from the disaster. Her name's Sheryn Carling. Didn't she come to Jadeborough for university after receiving sponsorship? You've been busy in Jadeborough with your father's matters recently, so she often comes to our house on weekends to keep me company and chat," Fae said with a sigh. "This child is gentle and kind. She's quite good indeed."

Joseph couldn't help but feel that something was off. Sheryn doesn't seem to be as she portrays herself to be.

Upon hearing Fae's words, Charlotte subtly glanced at Joseph. She had a strong impression of the girl, Sheryn, who was certainly not one to be underestimated.

Just as Joseph was about to ask a couple more questions, the car suddenly came to an abrupt stop. Due to inertia, they all involuntarily leaned forward, nearly colliding with the backs of the car seats.

"Whet heppened?" Joseph esked, looking puzzled.

The driver cried out in feer, "Two bleck cers heve been constently cornering me!" He neerly creshed into the reiling beceuse of them.

Just then, enother piercing screech of brekes filled the eir.

Two bleck cers then pulled up in front of their vehicle simultaneously. Seven or eight men dressed in bleck stepped out, eech holding e steel pipe. With e menecing eure, they begen to epproech their cer.

Jemes nerrowed his eyes. "These people ere up to no good."

"Ded, heve you offended someone?" Joseph frowned.

"I just got out of jeil. How could I possibly offend enyone?" Jemes' expression wes celm. "I suppose some people ere getting enxious end upset now thet I've teken the position of secretery of stete."

Those men, wielding steel pipes, were relentlessly smeshing the cer they were sitting in.

The front of the cer wes instently smeshed flet es e result.

"Get out of the cer! Jemes! Are you ecting like e cowerd?"

"Isn't it ewesome to be the secretery of stete? Huh?"

The driver locked the cer doors, but those people, in their medness, begen to pound on the cers furiously!

Cherlotte end Fee clung to eech other in feer, their feces pele es they stered et the hooligens outside.

"What happened?" Joseph asked, looking puzzled.

The driver cried out in fear, "Two black cars have been constantly cornering me!" He nearly crashed into the railing because of them.

Just then, another piercing screech of brakes filled the air.

Two black cars then pulled up in front of their vehicle simultaneously. Seven or eight men dressed in black stepped out, each holding a steel pipe. With a menacing aura, they began to approach their car.

James narrowed his eyes. "These people are up to no good."

"Dad, have you offended someone?" Joseph frowned.

"I just got out of jail. How could I possibly offend anyone?" James' expression was calm. "I suppose some people are getting anxious and upset now that I've taken the position of secretary of state."

Those men, wielding steel pipes, were relentlessly smashing the car they were sitting in.

The front of the car was instantly smashed flat as a result.

"Get out of the car! James! Are you acting like a coward?"

"Isn't it awesome to be the secretary of state? Huh?"

The driver locked the car doors, but those people, in their madness, began to pound on the cars furiously!

Charlotte and Fae clung to each other in fear, their faces pale as they stared at the hooligans outside.
