MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 6 - Season 8 Episode 97

Asher pushed Lily away and shouted, “Enough! Lily, I’ve put up with you for a long time! If you hadn’t been deliberately delaying paying for my sister’s medical treatment and threatening me with her life, I wouldn’t date a woman like you. I even have to put up with your scoldings and beatings every day, just like a dog being at your beck and call!

“When you didn’t know my buddy’s identity, you mocked him. Now that you’ve found out he’s a big shot, you’re sucking up to him and asking me to help you explain?

“Hah, I’ve never been your fiancé, never was and never will be! Get out of my sight right now. I don’t want to see you again, you vicious woman!”

Asher’s eyes were red and brimming with tears. He was sad and furious, and he wanted to vent all the anger he had accumulated after being humiliated for so long.

Lily was enraged. Asher had always been like a dog in front of her, and it was the first he had yelled at her in public.

“Asher, you…”

She was about to lash out at him when she suddenly heard Lucas say coldly, “He told you to get lost. Didn’t you hear him?”

His voice was icy cold, and so was the gaze. He immediately made Lily and Summer so frightened that they were about to wet their pants.

The two of them didn’t dare to say a word and immediately fled in a flurry without looking back.

After they, Lucas turned to look at Asher. “Did you just say that Anna is sick?”

When Lucas and Asher became close friends back in high school, Asher had often invited Lucas to his place for dinner. So he had quite a deep impression of Asher’s younger sister, Anna, who was an adorable young girl.

Asher smiled bitterly and told Lucas everything

He had been waiting for Lucas at the entrance of the expo center because he wanted to ask him for help. Anna had stomach cancer and urgently needed a lot of money for treatment. But Asher’s family wasn’t rich, and they had lost a huge amount of money due to a business failure previously, so they couldn’t afford to pay for Anna’s treatment.

At this moment, Asher got to know the wealthy Lily, who took a liking to the tall and handsome Asher. Thus, she offered to pay for Anna’s treatment. But she wanted Asher to obey her, do her bidding, and make her happy like he was her dog

Asher was naturally reluctant to agree to these humiliating conditions. But whenever he saw his sister’s increasingly gaunt face and deteriorating health as she stepped closer to death day by day, he gritted his teeth and agreed to Lily’s request.

But it had already been a couple of months, and Anna’s condition was worsening. Except for the money she had given Asher at the beginning, Lily had never paid for the treatment. Instead, she had found all sorts of excuses to put it off and forced him to agree to her unreasonable demands. She had no intention of lending money to Asher for Anna’s treatment at all.

Asher had long been unable to tolerate Lily. But because of Anna, he couldn’t fall out with Lily.

But Lucas’s appearance finally allowed Asher to see a glimmer of hope.

“Lucas, I don’t have any other option now. I can only beg you. Could you lend me fifty thousand? As long as Anna can undergo surgery and get treated, I’m willing to do whatever you want me to do in the future!” Asher had tears in his eyes as he gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Lucas.

He was willing to do anything for his sister.

“Asher, what are you doing? Get up quickly!” Lucas hurriedly pulled Asher up.

He said sincerely, “You’re my buddy, and your sister is my sister too. Now that she’s sick, I’ll definitely help you if I can! Don’t be so formal with me!”

Looking touched, Asher held Lucas’s hand and thanked him profusely with tears in his eyes. “Lucas, thank you! Thank you so much!”

Full of emotions, Lucas patted his hand.

Now that Asher was aware of his current identity, he could no longer be as casual with his words and actions as before. Instead, he was much more restrained.

But it was an inevitable matter that Lucas couldn’t change.

Afterward, Lucas accompanied Asher to the hospital and looked at Anna, who was now skin and bones. Seeing her like this, Lucas felt upset.

He helped Asher transfer Anna to the best hospital in San Francisco and also called the best oncologist to give Anna the best medical treatment.

Lucas covered all the medical expenses.

Tens of thousands of dollars was a massive amount of money for Lucas in the past. But for the current Lucas, it was peanuts. After Asher thanked him, Lucas settled everything and then returned to his office in the Stardust Corporation.

After today’s competition, Lucas officially became the overlord of California and Oregon. Since his relationship with Stardust Corporation was already known to many people, the business and scale of Stardust Corporation were about to progress greatly. Thus, there were some things Lucas had to arrange in advance. He also instructed Charlotte, the general manager, to get ready.

At around 5 p.m., Lucas put down his work and left the office.

When Lucas went downstairs and walked out of the office building, he saw a familiar Mercedes-Benz car parked at the entrance.

This car was familiar to Lucas because it belonged to Cheyenne’s biological mother, Florence.

Seeing Lucas appear, Florence immediately opened the car door and walked over to Lucas with a complicated expression.

“Lucas, so you’re the Master of California. You’ve been hiding your identity from me so well!” Florence said accusingly.

Lucas smiled coldly. “I hid it from you? You’ve never asked about my identity right from the start, and you simply assumed that I’m a good-for-nothing sponging off of your daughter. “What right do you have to accuse me of hiding it from you?”

Florence was dumbfounded. She had indeed assumed that Lucas was a good-for-nothing, and she had even racked her brains and tried all means to get him to leave her daughter.

From the time she first met Lucas, she had never looked him in the eye.

Lucas really wasn’t to blame. “Ah!” Florence let out a long sigh. “Okay, even though I’m to blame for what happened previously, the reason I did it was to make my daughter happy.”

Lucas didn’t care about what she had done, and he didn’t believe that Florence came to him just to talk nonsense.

Based on his previous encounters with Florence, he knew that she was hungry for power, and she was now speaking to him only because she knew his true identity and status.

“Just say what you have to say. I still have something to do. I don’t want to listen to your nonsense here,” Lucas said bluntly.
