A Love Trap novel Chapter 153

Those people just loved spying on other people's privacy. It was in their nature to start gossip at any place, using any circumstance, about anyone. And it was especially true when it came to those rich men's wives.

A satisfied look appeared on the woman's face as she realized that she became the center of attention. Actually, she just saw the brand by chance and accidentally knew Ashley's dress was from that famous boutique.

"The dress that she is wearing is from The Silver Moon."

As the others heard this, their jaws dropped. Suddenly, they all turned to Ashley in surprise.

The woman didn't need to explain anything, she knew that everyone understood what she was implying.

The Silver Moon was famous in J City, and almost everyone here knew it.

It was just an ordinary dressing shop but it had powerful backing.

Its boss was a daughter of the Feng family. Her designs were simple but very unique, and she had won many famous international dressing design awards.

Because of that, her works had been popular amongst the rich patron of the arts and had been sold like hot cakes in J City.

All of sudden, the way they looked at Ashley totally changed. "The money bag she leans on must be very, very full. If not so, how could she be able to afford anything from The Silver Moon?"

one lady said. No one in the group planned on avoiding being heard by Lena or Ashley and so they didn't bother lowering their voice.

As expected, Lena heard exactly what they were talking about.

With that, she clenched her fists tightly and stared fiercely at Ashley and her dress. It looked 'humble' but it wasn't 'humble' at all.

But after a while, her look of anger suddenly changed into a malicious smile, as if she was planning something.

Ashley, on the other hand, jumped when she heard what the ladies were talking about.

'I didn't know that the shop where this dress came from has powerful backing! I just thought that the owner was a friend of Andrew so he brought me there to try dresses!'

While thinking of this, she could clearly remember the way Andrew had talked to the owner, whose name was Jade. It really seemed like they were very close.

A defiant smile crept on Teresa's lips when she heard what the ladies had said. She turned to face Lena and said, her tone strong, "See! You've heard it yourself! Save it, Lena. She has a sugar daddy to lean on and will not thank you for what you have done for her. As ungrateful as she is, your father and mother shouldn't have adopted her." Teresa rolled her eyes.

After hearing what Teresa said, Johnny, who was standing behind Ashley, took a step forward. His duty was to protect Ashley so he couldn't let her be bullied like this. However, before he could do or say anything, Ashley stopped him in his tracks.

Johnny looked at her confusedly and said, "Miss Mu..."

'Who do they think they are! Mr. Lu loves Miss Mu the most. How dare you bully her like this?' Johnny thought to himself.

"I'm fine," Ashley said as she furrowed her eyebrows, lost in thought.

'First, I don't know much about Andrew and whether he truly has powerful backing or not. Andrew may need to do business with them, so I have to be considerate, regardless of my personal gains and losses.'

"Hey! Are you going to beat a woman?" Teresa yelled at Johnny after she noticed Johnny stepping forward, trying to protect Ashley.

Even though Ashley had stopped Johnny from doing anything as retaliation, she still didn't want to let the whole thing go easily. In her opinion, if anything else happened in there, Lena would help her out.

Later, Teresa would understand that what was on her mind at that time was totally wrong.
