After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 780

Chapter 780

The online commentary was like a geyser, erupting uncontrollably.

The entire Ritter family was caught in a gloomy atmosphere.

The servants were extra careful with everything they did, afraid of being swept away by the tail end of the typhoon.

Mrs. Ritter became even more frantic, monitoring Ashlyn's piano practice almost 24/7.

Soon it was time to leave for the competition.

Mrs. Ritter coldly led Ashlyn into the car and said, "If you win this competition, you'll become famous overseas and any music school will accept you. Whether it's Berklee or other famous music schools, Mr. Guzman will take you as his apprentice again and I'll help make connections for you to become the youngest music professor in the world without any problem at all! Then... you'll be a renowned professor at international music schools and those socialites from Urgford will look up to you."

"You're not on their level," Mrs. Ritter ambitiously declared, wishing that Ashlyn would already be an elite socialite.

"But there are so many pianists internationally; I might not necessarily win first place," Ashlyn expressed her concerns.

"That bitch Jenna has been assigned to compete in composition; who else can compete with you?" Mrs. Ritter looked at her daughter's lack of confidence with frustration."Mr. Guzman said that previous contestants were strong but participants are generally young and weak this year."

"Really?"Ashlyn breathed out a sigh of relief. "Then I'm sure to win."

"What do you think?" Mrs. Ritter knocked on her head. "Do you think your mother's money is spent for nothing?"

As they spoke, the car pulled up at the airport entrance. Just as they got out, a car slowly stopped beside them.

A beautiful woman stepped out wearing simple white top, clean blue jeans hugging long straight legs, and white sneakers. Casual yet chic.

But no matter how plain she dressed, the beautiful face alone could kill every woman present behind her stood an extremely handsome man exuding charisma. Followed by a girl and another man getting off from their own vehicle too

Mrs. Ritter's face twisted into a sneer as she looked at the familiar faces in front of her. She barely glanced at Sylvia and Franklin before continuing to walk into the airport without stopping.

Ashlyn hurried to keep up with her mother's steps. "Mom... it's Sylvia and Franklin."

"Are those pieces of crap worth my attention?" Mrs. Ritter spat out each word with venomous hatred. "Let's go!"

Sylvia watched the mother and daughter disappear, raising an eyebrow calmly.

It seemed that Mrs. Ritter had been thoroughly disgusted by Franklin's recent actions, not even bothering to put on a facade before leaving.

"The grasshopper after autumn can't jump for long," Franklin spoke coolly, his voice devoid of emotion.

Mrs. Ritter froze for a moment upon hearing his voice from behind her, clearly struggling to contain her anger as she turned towards the handsome man with sharp tongue.

If words could kill, Mrs. Ritter would have torn Franklin apart with her furious voice already.

"Who are you calling a grasshopper after autumn?" The woman retorted sharply.

The tall man stood still in place, his icy gaze fixed on Mrs. Ritter without any hint of emotion in it whatsoever."Cody has been kidnapped and almost assassinated on the street," he said coldly. "We have some leads."

A flicker of panic flashed through Mrs. Ritter's eyes but she was no naive child who had never seen anything before.

She sneered, "Mr. Maskelyne what good does telling me this do? You should be telling this to the police if you want results."

Franklin stood against sunlight, his shoulder bathed in golden light.

His features were so dazzling that they were almost impossible to see clearly, but one could feel his strong aura distinctly. "Isn't Mrs. Ritter interested?" He asked calmly, his eyes seeming like they knew everything about everyone around him

"Why should I be interested? What does your business have anything to do with me?" She replied icily, taking Ashlyn's hand firmly as if only by doing so could she suppress her racing heart. Was there something that Franklin had found out?

No, it couldn't be!

Mrs. Ritter's eyelids twitched several times, she walked very fast, Ashlyn almost couldn't keep up.

But even Ashlyn knew now was not time for whining or asking her to mom slow down, because her mother's face was terrifying right now!

"We should go too," Sylvia stepped forward and took the man's cold, dry hand in hers.

Franklin's deep gaze lingered on their intertwined hands as he lowered his eyes. He smirked and said, "Let's go."

Brayden and Jenna followed them into the airport lounge.

As soon as they entered, a familiar figure caught Jenna's eye.
