Chapter 20

“The boss is right here. What do you plan to do? Ashe asked, raising her eyebrows and calmly watching her performance. Samantha looked around up didn’t see anyone else stepping forward. “You’re lying to me.”

With the support she had, Hailey’s tone became more assertive Ms. Moreno, the value of the dress you purchased is too low to quality for repair. Please leave?

“You’re lying! I already checked, and dresses over 150 thousand dollars can be repaired for free, Samantha said furiously. turning to face Ash. “It juist be because

With that, she turned to hnd Tracy, hoping Tracy could give her the contact information for the owner of Dream Couture.

She felt that Ash and Bailey were clearly covering for each other Unable to argue with them, she was determined to find their boss and have them fired.

She wanted to see if they could still smile after Ash and Bailey were fired.

“Ms. Turnier, why don’t you just tell her that you’re the owner? Bailey asked curiously.

“Even if I told her, she wouldn’t believe it,” Ash said nonchalantly shrugging her shoulders. Im waiting for her to come crawling back to me.

“Then what about this dress.. asked Bailey.

“There’s no way it’s getting fixed, Ash responded quickly. Samantha climbed into Tristan’s bed behind my back, had the audacity to brag when she was found out, and even conspired with the Moreno family parents to kick me out of their home. I haven’t settled the score yet. It would be different if it were someplace else, but this is my turf. What’s there to stop me from giving her a hard time?

Tracy was showing a guest a dress in a private fitting room when Samantha looked around and couldn’t find her. She had no choice but to turn back, but looking at the arrogant Ash, she couldn’t swallow her anger.

“Ms. Moreno, please,” Bailey said as she handed the dress bag to her, gesturing to show her to leave.

“Jewel, don’t get too arrogant. You’re just wealthy because you’re being kept by a man. Someone like you. Dad and Mom will never let you back in. Even if you give the Moreno family as much money as possible, they’ll never want you, Samantha spat out these words fiercely and didn’t come forward to take the dress.

Bailey widened her eyes beside her. Humph, Ms. Turner is the daughter of the Turner family. The Turner family ranks alongside the three other families in Riverstone. How could a stall Moreno family compare? If it weren’t for Ms. Turner keeping a low profile and not wanting to reveal her status, where would Samantha get off talking down to her?

Ash’s expression turned cold. Just a small Moreno family, I don’t even care about them.”

She had given so much money to the Moreno family before but didn’t get half a bit of gratitude in return. Now that she had withdrawn her funding, she wanted to see how long the Moreno family company could last without Shadow Ventures propping them up

“Are you done?” Ash looked down on Samantha coldly. Once you’re done, you can leave. With her words, the security guard beside her quickly came over and dragged Samantha away without any courtesy.

“If this person comes again in the future, dont bother informning me, just directly drag her out Ash instructed the security and and added. You can post a notice at the door: Samantha not allowed entry”

and posted them at the entrance the store

39%.

Samantha, who hadn’t walked far away, was cursing loudly at the door.

Just then, a woman dressedl qlegantly walked over from a distance, followed by a relatively handsome man. The woman asked, “Miss, did you must call out for Jewel?”

“Ves” Samantha instantly beame indignant, “She was originally my family’s adopted daughter. She pushed me into the water and got kicked out of the house by my parents. Now she works at Dream Couture as a salesperson, being kept by an old man, and colluding with others to bully me

Jade looked up at the pi intout at the store entrance, her gaze licking inside. Sure enough, there was Ash’s figure. She remembered that Asly’s real name was Jewel

“As the saying goes, an enemy of my enemy is a friend. She hates Ash so much, then she’s naturally my friend too, Jade thought to herself.

“Hello, my name Jade, Can I make friends with you?” She smiled, her tone soft.

Jade from the Turner family? Samantha’s eyes widened instantly. Such a family would actually want to be friends with her; she couldn’t wait to take out her phone and add Jade on WhatsApp.

Seeing the notification of adding a friend successfully, Jade smiled slightly. “I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first. We can talk more when we’re free.”

Samantha said goodbye to her excitedly, even ignoring the unfixed dress, ready to go home and tell her parents the good.

Caspian silently watched all this behind, not speaking, his brow arrowed slightly, feeling something wasn’t right, his gaze. fixed on Samantha’s leaving figure,

He had seen fade in a bad mood today and specifically took her but to buy clothes, not expecting to run into this situation. “Caspian, what are you looking at?” Jade asked.

I never expected Ash to be kicked out like this. Caspian’s face turned somewhat grim. After all, Ash was his sister by blood. “I also didn’t expect her to get involved with being kept by someone, Jade emphasized first, then pretended to look embarrassed. “But I added her to understand Ash’s preferences so I can get along with her properly.”

Caspian’s sympathy was instantly gone. The Moreno family, although not as good as the Turner family, can still be considered a well–off family. Their conditions are definitely not too bad. Doing something like being kept by someone in Mh a family only shows that Ash herself is not a very good person.

Caspian’s brow relaxed. “No matter what, I only recognize you as my sister; don’t compromise yourself for her.

learing this, Caspian sighed. You’re just too kind. Rest assured, as long as I’m around. I won’t you like, just pick it, I’ll pay for it.”

let her bully you. Whatever

“Thank you Jade turned back, walking in the opposite direction of the Dream Couture store. In just a few words, they defined Ashs, without anyone even considering whether it was true. Inside the store, Ash didn’t notice what happened aside at all. She roughly browsed the sales situation in the store and nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, her phone rang again, it was her mother Brooke calling With her slender hngers, she pressed the answer

and connected the call-

39%.

Ash, Dorothy wants to schedule a time to come over and propose; when do you think would be most suitable? I’ll pass it on for you.” Brooke’s voice came from the phone.

Chapter 21

“Mom, just tell them no for me. I’ll explain everything when I get back, Ash said into the phone, trying to calm her mother down. She couldn’t afford to waste any more time and hurried out to find Calvert, planning to go home together to clear up. this misunderstanding

On the other end of the line. Josh’s face was as cold as ice. “What does Ash think she’s doing?” He had already heard about what happened at the Snider family yesterday. His pristine daughter had been locked up with a man and even changed clothes upon release.

Brooke also looked grave. “From what Ash said, it seems like she’s not too keen on it. Let’s wait until she gets back to discuss it, she suggested.

“Regardless, we can’t let the Turner family walk all over Ash, Josh stated firmly, his icy demeanor unwavering.

“Calvert has grown up in front of our eyes; he doesn’t seem like the type to take advantage of a situation,” Brooke commented fairly, her tone suddenly serious. “If anyone dares to bully Ash, I’ll be the first to disagree.”

As they were talking, Lachlan walked in. “We’ve confirmed who adopted Ash. It’s the Moreno family, here are their details

Josh picked up the file and say that the Moreno family information was comprehensive, but the part about Ash was very brief, only mentioning the school she attended; her friends these past years, and how she lived–all that was vague and Jacked concrete details.

This was clearly not a proper background check.

Seeing the puzzled look on his father’s face, Lachlan explained. The information on Ash only goes back ten years. Her experiences during these ten years have been hidden.”

He added, “I even used the company’s intelligence system, and I couldn’t find out who hid it, but it seems to be related to people from Macnon.”

“What’s going on?” Brooke became anxious. “Ash went missing because of people from Macnon, and now she’s somehow involved with them again?”

Brooke’s emotions surged, and her face turned pale instantly. She clutched her chest, coughing as her breath became

unstable.

“Don’t worry; maybe they don’t mean any harm this time. After all these years, she’s been fine, which is the best proof,” Josh reassured his wife, quickly pouring two pills from the medicine bottle on the table and handing them to her.

Only after Brooke’s condition stabilized did he notice the medicine bottle was still full.

“Brooke, have you not taken your medicine these past few days: Josh asked with a hint of joy.

He had always managed his wife’s heart medication himself, knowing it usually lasted about ten days per bottle. But now, five days in, it was still full. Even when she had her episode earlier, her breathing was only slightly unstable, not the severe difficulty she had experienced before.

Brooke realized the issue too. She recalled, “Five days ago, when I had an attack. Ash performed acupuncture on me. Since then, I haven’t had any episodes, and my breathing seems much smoother.

“I didn’t realize Ash was such a skilled healer, Josh said with relief.

He knew well about Brooke’s condition; he had consulted every cardiology expert in Riverstone, yet none could free her from medication dependence. And Ash, with just one session of acupuncture, had provided such lasting relief

Brooke feit deeply moved. “After all these years on her own, without support from the Moreno family and not even studying

Lachlan listened quietly, surprised by his newly found sister’s abilities.

At that moment, a servam

Ms. Turner have returned”

Brooke looked up to see Calvert and Ashy entering together.

Calvert was dressed in a suit, his handsome features sharply detiged, tall, and imposing, exuding an extraordinary presence.

Beside him, Ash wore sumple casual clothes, but her flawless skin and striking appearance made her natural grace impossible

to overlook

From a distance, they looked like the perfect match

In all of Riverstone, only Calvert is good enough for my daughter, Brooke said with satisfaction on her face,

Hi. Mr. and Mrs. Turner, Calvert greeted generously, handing the gift from his grandmother to a servant nearby,

“Oh, hello there,” Brooke replicil. her smile growing wider by the second. He’s quite something

However, Joshi stood beside her with a cold expression as if he hadn’t heard anything. “Theard about yesterday between you and Ash He gave Calvert a warning look “How do you explain that?”

Calverr’s eyes darkened, but he looked at Ash, Is she trying to force a marriage because of yesterday?”

Ash raised her head and immediately noticed the mockery in Calvert’s gaze. She glared at him and stepped forward. “Mom, Dad, everything that happened yesterday was a misunderstanding. Nothing happened between Calvert and me; it was Mrs. Snider who misunderstood and thought of advancing the wedding date

Hearing Ashs explanation. Josh’s expression finally softened.

Brooke wore an 1–told–you–so expression, contilen in the choice of her precious daughter’s fiance.

After setting aside the mident where they were drugged Ash recounted the events of the previous day in detail, finally clearing things up with her parents.

ftolisk

With both parties present, Josh decided to ask directly. So, what are your plans for the wedding now?

He was well aware of the Suider family’s ragerness to push through the marriage, but he believed the opinions of the two individuals involved were paramount. If Ash and Calvert had no objections, he thought it was time to start preparing for Ashy wedding

Just as Ashy was about to refuse, she suddenly received a text m

Glancing down, it was from Lachlan Mom’s heart condition istet good. Please try to go along with her wishes as much as possible Thanks.)

Ash turned to look at her usually silent elder brother, who was also looking at her.

Thinking back to the ac upameture session she perforined on their mother. Ash found herself unable to voice her refusal of
