Chapter 219
After saying that, she finished the wine in her glass.
Asher looked at Daphne. Her alcohol tolerance was not good, so he did not know what she was up to.
Hearing her words, he felt she was mocking him.
How interesting. What right does she have? Asher thought.
Seeing her like this, Asher ignored her.
He told Lacey, “Thank you for coming, Ms. Maurice. I hope you have a good time here.”
“Thank you,” Lacey said, “Just do what you need to do. Don’t worry about us.”
She glanced at Daphne and said, “Daphne, are you alright?”
Daphne said, “Yes.”
She looked at Asher and put the glass down.
Asher did not answer her.
Last time, he wanted to transfer her position because he felt sorry for her…
Coincidentally, she was indeed capable.
However, he did not want to have anything to do with Daphne regarding relationships.
Therefore, he did not want to interact too much with her when he saw her.
Lacey said, “So, Mr. Blackwood, please go and do your business. We’ll play for a while.”
“Okay.” Asher agreed.
Lacey was about to leave with Daphne when Adair walked over.
The moment she came over, she saw Daphne…
Her gaze fell on Daphne and she sized Daphne up.
Daphne was not dressed gaudily today. Her clothes looked very ordinary.
Everyone here was dressed up, except for her…
She was dressed in ordinary clothes for work, and it was obvious that they were not expensive.
However, in this situation, she looked more conspicuous.
Adair recalled the last time Daphne splashed coffee all over her, preventing her from having dinner with Asher.
Now, Daphne appeared here again…
Adair had thought that Daphne had already been fired. She did not know why Daphne was there.
Lacey said, “Hello, Mrs. Blackwood.”

She couldn’t say why.
Although she knew that Asher liked Elara before, and he will loved to we there now, the did not feel mything operal when she saw Elara.
It was because Adair knew Elara had Lysander and wouldn’t be interested in Asher,
But the woman in front of her made her feel uncomfortable.
Lacey said, “Yes. What’s wrong?
Adair wanted to say something, but her parents happened to be here, so she was busy talking to them.
Lacey also left with Daphne…
She glanced at Daphne. “Are you okay?”
Daphne nodded, “Yes, I’m a little dizzy. I want to sit by the side for a while
“I don’t get it,” Lacey said, “You only need to drink a little politely. Why did you drink it all yourself? You can’t hold your liquor well
Still, considering that Daphne had introduced Elara to her, she decided not to argue with Daphne.
Otherwise, Lacey was a little annoyed by Daphne’s behavior.
Asher talked to Adair’s parents for a while.
His status was naturally different now that he had become the Balslev family’s son–in–law.
Previously, they didn’t like him, but now, they were more polite when talking to him.
After the parents from both sides finished speaking, the engagement ceremony ended. Adair called Asher over.
She asked, “Why is that woman still in your company?”
“Which woman?” Asher reached out and tugged at his tie.
After drinking some wine, he felt a little hot.
“The one with Lacey. I asked you to chase her away last time. Isn’t she the receptionist? Why is she with Lacey?” Adair asked.
Lacey had a position in the company.
If Daphne follows Lacey now, doesn’t that mean she is promoted? Adair thought.
Asher said, “Lacey likes her and wants to take her as her subordinate. I can’t interfere with these things. As you know, I don’t usually care about the company’s personnel.”
“Really?” Adair looked suspiciously at Asher.

Her words amused Asher: He took a step forward and hugged her. “Do you have to be so possessive? Why do you always suspect that I’m related to someone else?
“Previously, you were jealous of Elara, and now, you’re jealous of an unimportant passerby. Adair, we’re already engaged. What are you worried about?
“If you’re jealous every day, does it mean you’ll have to interrogate me whenever I have a woman by my side in the future?”
It was rare for Asher to coax her. Previously, he had always looked like it was up to her whether to believe it.
Adair felt a little better.
She said, “Let’s say you’re telling the truth. You’d better not have anyone else.”
“You make it sound so fierce, but you didn’t care about Elara,” said Asher.
He treated Adair like that, but she still wanted to marry him.
Asher couldn’t get it.
Adair snorted. “Although I don’t like her, she still has Lysander. She won’t give up Lysander for you.”
Adair knew that as long as there was nothing wrong with Elara’s brain, she would not come over to snatch Asher from her.
‘At most, she will only flirt with Asher to make Asher unable to forget her,‘ Adair thought.
Most importantly, she couldn’t do anything to Elara even if she wanted to because Elara had Lysander.
Also, she could not bear to give up on Asher.
Asher was disgusted by Adair’s words.
He looked at Adair speechlessly.
Adair understood what he meant. “Are you upset? Who asked you to like to be someone else’s bootlicker. Your wife is so beautiful, but you can’t see her. You only stare at others.”
“Yeah,” Asher said, “I’m not her bootlicker. But I can’t bear to see her look down on me whenever she sees me.”
After the engagement ended, Asher sent the Balslev family people to the car.
Adair went back to send her parents off.
Asher also sent Edith and his sister Dana home.
Edith found Asher very pleasing to the eye today because his marriage with Adair made her very proud. Although the Linde Group was still doing well, their family was just a nouveau richer in others‘ eyes.
She had always hoped that her family would have some connections.
But now, Asher married Adair, and the Linde family would have a shared future with the Balslev family.
Hence, she praised Asher.
Asher stood at the side and looked at his mother. She sat on the sofa, held her forehead, and praised him.
She drank quite a bit, but it was obvious that she was happy.

She hadn’t been so happy since his stepfather died.
In the past, Asher would have been happy to receive praise.
But now, Asher was not interested in this at all.
That was because he had been praised for doing well.
It was not because his mother’s attitude toward him had changed
She would always love him who could bring her benefits.
But she had never felt sorry for her
from the bottom of her heart.
However, Dana was different….
Even if she didn’t know anything now, she could still receive all her mother’s love.
After saying goodbye to his mother, Asher came out of the house. His phone rang.
He answered. It was Daphne’s voice. “Asher.”
Her voice was sad. Asher frowned. “Why are you calling?”
They had not contacted each other recently.
Daphne did not bother him either.
He thought that she was someone who knew her limits.
Daphne said, “I can’t find my home.”
