Raymond pressed his lips into a line when he realized what his father was implying. Since last time's incident, Ashley had cut all contact with him. She had blocked him on all her social media.
Naturally, he couldn't contact her in any way.
Raymond remained silent.
Clyde continued, "If possible, go talk to her. She is the key person in this matter."
As a man, Clyde knew how men's brains worked. Andrew's animosity against the Luo family could only be due to one out of two possibilities. The first was to take revenge for Ashley who was treated unjustly when she attended their party.
And the second possibility was that he had found out that Raymond and Ashley were ex-lovers. These were the only two reasons why he was after the Luo family.
He didn't expect the legendary aloof and cruel Andrew to end up with Ashley and adore her so much.
Maybe they should reconsider their opinion about that woman.
Raymond's jaw dropped in astonishment. "Dad, what do you mean?" he asked.
When he was with Ashley, his mother was strongly against their relationship. He knew that his father didn't approve of their relationship either, but he hadn't done anything to stop them.
However, now that their relationship had deteriorated, his father wanted him to go to see Ashley. How would he do that?
Raymond didn't say anything and Cora, who was standing on the side, frowned. She knew what Clyde meant but she really didn't like the idea of Raymond going to see Ashley again.
To be honest, even she herself didn't know why she disliked Ashley so much.
Clyde nodded at Raymond and said, "You go to talk to her. She can tell us if she has a grudge against us, and we will make it up to her if she does." It might be possible that even if they tried to make it up to her, she wouldn't be appeased. However, at this point, the Luo family couldn't do anything else.
Raymond had never seen his father looking so demoralized. However tough the situation had been, he had always handled it with ease. He had never been so tired and worried.
Raymond had heard a few rumors about Andrew and had already met him twice.
This man's social background seemed so complicated. Didn't Ashley want a simple and peaceful life? Why did she choose to be with him then?
How did she get involved with him? Coming from an influential family himself, Raymond knew all about rich people's mindsets. They simply wanted a marriage with an equally wealthy and powerful family.
His own family thought this way, not to mention the people in the Lu family.
The Lu family might have even more complicated and tricky personal relations than other families. How would she survive there?
The Lu family wouldn't possibly accept the adopted daughter of a family who owned nothing at all.
Various thoughts surfaced in his head and he let out a long breath. He looked at his father and nodded. "Okay, Dad. I will go talk to Ashley. Don't worry about it." He was going to do it either for personal reason or for anything else anyway.
Clyde nodded. He was quite satisfied with Raymond. He had always been obedient even as a child and everything he did, he did it well.
Clyde left the room and went upstairs. He had been very busy as the Luo Group was in so much trouble. He asked Raymond to come back just to clarify things.
After Clyde left, Cora spoke with Raymond at length. It was about Ashley.
She said a lot of bad things about Ashley, and that since he and Lena were going to get married, he should treat her well, and not think of anything inappropriate.
