Chapter 223
“What is it?” Seeing Zavala’s anxious expression, Elara was curious.
Zavala said, “Adair hit someone and was arrested. Come with me I don’t know what’s going on.”
Elara was speechless.
Because it was Zavala’s request, Elara could only go to the police station with her.
When they arrived, Daphne and Adair were sitting across from each other. The police were mediating, but Adair would not accept mediation at all.
Daphne was beaten up. Although Adair had left, she still called the police.
Before she was beaten up, she said that she only wanted money, but now, she didn’t want money. She just wanted Adair to apologize to her.
Adair, of course, refused
She was only willing to pay some money. Apologizing was impossible.
Therefore, the two sides were in a deadlock.
Elara came over to help settle everything.
They came out of the police station.
Adair did not apologize at last, but she gave Daphne an acceptable amount of money.
Outside, Adair saw Daphne’s pretentious look and was about to hit her. However, Zavala stopped her. “Do you have to go inside again to be happy?”
Adair said, “She’s too despicable.”
Daphne sized up Adair and said, “Ms. Balslev, you fired me and hit me. Now, you’re quite good at complaining.”
Daphne’s tone was always unhurried and innocent.
Adair was so angry that she wanted to slap Daphne.
At this moment, Asher came over.
His car was parked by the roadside. He got out of the car and saw that everyone was there. He greeted Zavala first, “Hello, Zavala,”
Hearing that, Zavala only looked at Asher and said, “Asher. Is this how you do things? If you can’t even handle your private matters, I don’t think you should get married.”
This matter was all because of Asher.
None of this would have happened if he had handled his matters well.
After listening to Zavala’s words, Asher’s gaze landed on Daphne.
Zavala could not be bothered with him and said to Adair, “Get in the car.”
Adair said, “I’ll go back myself.”
Chapter 223
“Stop fooling around.” Zavala looked at Adair seriously. “Why? Do you want your parents to pick you up personally?”
If her parents found out about this, she would be scolded again,
Adair could only get into the car when Zavala threatened her with her parents
At this time, she did not dare to offend Zavala too much.
After all, the person who doted on her the most in this family was Zavala.
Elara glanced at Asher. Anyway, it had nothing to do with her.
She was only here to help on account of Zayala.
Asher looked at Elara and asked, “What’s the situation?”
“Mr. Blackwood, are you asking me? I don’t know either. I’m going back.” With that, she got into the car.
Seeing they had all left, Asher’s attention finally landed on Daphne.
He looked at Daphne and said, “You’re quite capable.”
Daphne did not look at him. She shifted her gaze elsewhere and looked aggrieved. “I didn’t do anything. Adair fired me and slapped me. If you think I’m wrong, I have nothing to say.”
Asher knew what Adair was like and knew she must have started it.
He said to Daphne, “Let’s go back.”
With that, he turned around and got into the car.
After a while, Daphne opened the car door and got in.
Daphne looked at Asher in the car and said, “Don’t you blame me?”
“What’s the point of blaming you?” Asher said, “Would this incident not have happened if I blamed you?”
Daphne sighed and said dejectedly, “Asher, I don’t know what to do. Sometimes, I feel that I can’t live anymore. It seems that nothing good has happened since SAT ended. Everyone hates me. Sometimes, I even want to die.”
Her life suddenly seemed to have lost all hope.
Although she always told herself that she could not give up.
But sometimes, she felt so tired.
Asher sized up Daphne. He originally thought that she was only saying it casually to gain sympathy.
However, at this moment, he saw despair in her eyes.
He said to Daphne, “Why? Do you want to die just because you encounter a little difficulty? What about me? Daphne, how did you treat me back then? I didn’t even want to die back then. If you were in my shoes back then, wouldn’t you have died hundreds of times?”
His accusation made Daphne feel ashamed. “I’m sorry.”
“Put away your useless apology,” Asher said, “You won’t reflect on yourself anyway.”
Daphne said, “You should apologize to Ms. Balslev. Don’t let me affect your relationship. I know it must be not easy for you

to marry her.”
Asher said in a deep voice, “We’ll see. If I apologize to her now, she’ll only make a fuss anyway.”
After something like this happened, Adair must feel upset.
“The more I coax her, the more she will think I’m wrong, Asher thought.
Asher sent Daphne back to his residence.
The car stopped downstairs. Daphne looked at Asher and said, “Then I’ll go back first.”
Asher said, “Don’t go to the company first. Rest at home for a while. Otherwise, Adair will be unhappy again when she sees you.”
“Okay.” Daphne opened the door and got out of the car.
She stood by the roadside and watched Asher leave before returning upstairs.
Elara and the others had returned to the Hawthorne family’s residence.
Adair sat on the sofa. Zavala looked at her and said, “Don’t interact with Asher anymore.”
Adair didn’t reply to it.
Zavala said, “He’s not worthy of you when he treated you like this. If he had taken the matter between you two seriously, he wouldn’t have been so ambiguous with others.”
Adair curled up on the sofa. “I won’t let her off.”
“Adair,” Zavala said, “Don’t be too stubborn.”
“That woman provoked me first,” Adair said furiously.
Zavala said helplessly, “Is there a need for you to be like that? If you don’t interact with her, such a woman won’t be able to catch up to you even if she works hard her entire life. Yet you insist on lowering yourself to her level and fighting with her for a man?”
“I’m just pissed,” said Adair.
She thought about how Daphne was deliberately looking for trouble and insisting she apologize.
She could not take this lying down.
Zavala said, “I told you long ago not to marry Asher. You didn’t listen to me. You always felt that I was harming you. Now that you’ve been to the police station, don’t you know you should reflect on yourself? Stay at home well these days and don’t go anywhere.”
“Zavala.” Adair looked at Zavala. “I’m the one being bullied.”
“Don’t I know you?” Zavala poked her forehead with her finger. Look at you. Isn’t it good to spend more effort on work every day? You have such good conditions but ended up like this for a man. I’m quite curious. What magic does Asher have?”
At the mention of this, Adair’s expression darkened.
She glanced at her phone and realized he had not sent her a message yet.

When he calls, I won’t let him off so easily, Adair thought.
