A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 352

Chapter 352 How Daring

When she had a clear view of the man, an alarm bell buzzed within Amelie’s brain. She had only one thought—she was finished!

Julia’s expression didn’t look great either, for she had caused Amelie trouble.

“Mr. Lowe.” Miss Gage greeted the man first.

It was none other than Ashton Lowe standing at the entrance. While he was dressed more formally than usual, his collar was loose and revealed part of a chain, making his status as a rich heir all too clear.

“Miss Gage, Alex,” Ashton greeted the two at the head of the table, then his gaze shifted lazily toward them.

“Mr. Lowe.” Julia stepped forward to block his view of Amelie and greeted him happily. She usually scorned rich heirs like him, who only knew how to talk and throw tantrums but was useless when it came to doing anything else. However, she had to resort to her most disgusting tactic by pandering to him so that he wouldn’t notice Amelie.

Ashton snorted faintly. While he was useless in everything, he despised people like Julia who earned a living by being an influencer the most.

Julia naturally didn’t care about his scorn for her. Her utmost concern was what she was going to do about Amelie. Things would be complicated if he recognized her, so how could Julia make up an excuse for Amelie to leave?

Ashton soon noticed someone hiding behind Julia. Since he was curious in nature, he couldn’t help looking at whomever she was hiding behind her.

“Oh, this is the boss of Starlight Media, Mr. Dillon,” Miss Gage introduced Amelie. Her tone was cold, and it made her seem difficult to approach.

“Mr. Lowe.” Amelie walked out and greeted Ashton. She knew that she could never hide forever since continuing to do so would only make him suspicious, so it was better to just reveal herself. She shook her head slightly at Julia’s concerned look.

Ashton was also curious as to who the boss of Starlight Media was and looked at them as well. His expression stiffened when he saw Amelie.

“What’s wrong? Do you know each other?” Miss Gage quickly caught the shift in his expression and asked.

He narrowed his eyes, whereas Julia watched him with sweaty palms. Her brain was ringing, and she felt like she was about to explode. She was on the verge of crying when she turned to Amelie, but she soon realized Amelie calmly facing Ashton head-on. How daring that girl was!

“No,” he answered, shifting his gaze away. It wasn’t that he didn’t suspect her, but the way she looked at him openly without any fear made him feel that it was merely a physical resemblance.

Seeing that Amelie’s strategy had tricked Ashton, Julia’s clenched heart finally relaxed as her blood flowed once again. She had nearly been scared to death and mentally placed a hand on her chest.

“What are you all doing? Why don’t we sit down?” She quickly utilized her strong people skills and invited everyone to sit. Soon, they all found their seats.

Since Ashton had a high opinion of himself and Amelie was disguised as a man, he did not spare her another glance. Amelie was unruffled by the whole thing as well. Julia secretly gave her a thumbs-up under the table when she saw this.

“Were you unable to invite him?” Miss Gage asked Ashton.

Mr. Goldstein explained politely to Amelie and Julia, “Both Cassandra and I are amateurs in this field, so we asked Mr. Lowe to help invite his trusted friend to share his opinion.”

“I see,” Amelie replied courteously. The woman’s fair skin under her disguise made her look attractive, and there was also a hint of dominance in her tone.

Her eyes shifted a little when Mr. Goldstein wasn’t paying attention. Whom could that trusted friend be?

He did not wait for her to ask and introduced the man voluntarily, saying, “This friend of his is a respectable figure who accumulated great achievements at a young age. I can never be as capable as him even if I live a decade longer than him.”
