At the same time, in the villa of the Rong family in the Imperial City.
In the gorgeous white European style room, the wind passed through the big French window and blew up the gauze curtain. The person lying on the big round bed suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the darkness of the room, her heart beating fast.
The door was pushed open. Ashley's mother Ramona Qiu turned on the light in the room, and Ashley closed her eyes uncomfortably.
"Ash, what's wrong?" Ramona walked quickly to the bed, sat on it and looked at her with concern.
Ashley threw herself into Ramona's arms, her face was pale.
"Mom..." She called Ramona in a trembling voice.
Ramona patted her on the shoulder to comfort her. She was over forty years old, and her face was somewhat similar to that of Ashley, but she didn't look old at all. She said gently, "Did you have a nightmare?"
With a hint of panic in Ashley's eyes, she grabbed the sleeves of Ramona and said anxiously, "I dreamed of Albert. I dreamed that he was back and he came back to take revenge on us."
Ramona frowned, still coaxing very patiently, "Ash, it's just a dream. Albert is dead. What are you afraid of?"
Ramona's words couldn't calm Ashley down.
That dream was so real.
She watched Albert climb out of the fire. "He" looked like a demon, shouting to take her to hell.
Ashley's fingers turned pale because of overexertion, and she seemed to be in a trance.
"Ash." Stroking Ashley's hair gently, Ramona said in a soft but determined tone, "Albert is dead. Darren had personally ordered to set fire and burnt him to death. His corpse has been burned to ashes. How could he come back?"
Ashley stared at her mom in a daze.
Yes, she saw Albert die with her own eyes.
After all, she was just too afraid of Albert.
Her "brother" was only a few years older than her, but Albert was more frightening than anyone else.
Although Albert was young and usually lazy, everyone knew that the master of the Rong family was also notorious as the evil star of the Gu family.
Ashley enjoyed Albert's love, but she was also jealous of Albert's talent and power.
Especially when she knew that she was not the daughter of the Rong family, she was more eager to grasp these things that did not belong to her.
"Just dress yourself up. Darren is waiting for you downstairs."
Ramona didn't stay long. She knew that Ashley was not the kind of delicate lady from a rich family. Ashley was even crueler than her.
No matter how vicious Ramona was in the past, she just set up Albert's father, Gavin Rong. She was able to enter the Rong family by taking advantage of the child she was pregnant with other man, which was also known as Ashley. She didn't even think about getting rid of Albert's mother and becoming the legal wife by herself.
Because she knew that no matter it was Gavin, Jonathan or the seemingly weak woman, they were not easy to deal with.
Let alone Albert.
However, it turned out that Ashley dared to hurt the three of them, first Jonathan and his daughter-in-law, and then Albert.
Ramona had to admit that she was very proud of her daughter.
Even if she used to be a prostitute, so what? Even if Ashley's biological father was unknown, so what?
