Seeing that Ashley was friendly to her, Linda was not as nervous as before. Upon hearing Ashley's words, the security guard let Linda in. The three sat on a pair of long wooden chairs on the grass. Linda felt a bit uncomfortable as she saw Jamie was also there. Noticing her hesitation, Ashley thought for a while and asked Jamie to leave.
After Jamie left, there were only the two of them in 20 meters. It was also easy to have a lot to say. "Ashley, I asked you to do me a favor before. Have you helped me to ask Mr. Jasper?"
Thinking of the Jasper's reply "two years", Ashley thought it over and said, "I have mentioned it."
Linda was surprised. She had only tried her to ask for Ashley's help before, but she didn't expect that Ashley would really help. "Really? Did Mr. Jasper agree lift my bans?"
Ashley was a little confused. Why did Linda firmly believe that as long as she asked Jasper, he would agree.
Repressing the weird feeling in her heart, she calmly replied, "Mr. Jasper didn't say he would
lift your bans immediately. It depends on your performance in the future. About one or two years later if you behave well, it will be canceled."
After she heard what Ashley said, Linda was very disappointed. Now that Ashley had talked about this with Jasper, besides, Jasper was so kind to Ashley, he should have abolish the punishment. Why would it take one or two year? How could she bear such a waste of long time? Had Ashley not been talking to Jasper nicely, or had she really told Jasper?
The more she thought about it, the more likely Ashley was. Judging from what Ashley said, it seemed that Ashley had told Jasper about it. Then why didn't Ashley tell her the answer right away when she got the reply from Jasper. Unless Ashley didn't mention it at all. What Ashley promised at that time was just perfunctory, and she didn't want to help her at all. The more she thought about it, the more chagrin and resentment in her heart, so she spoke out what she thought.
"You didn't tell Mr. Jasper at all, did you? If you don't want to help me, you should tell me earlier!"
Ashley was startled! She had never been this shocked when her scandal was exposed! Why was Linda so confident? As long as she talked to Jasper, he would abolish her punishment. There must be something strange!
Ashley recalled what had happened since she joined the company, and suddenly came up one thought, "are you still living with Alice?" she asked.
Linda and Ashley were not getting along well with each other. When she saw that she humbled herself to beg for help but was fooled around, she was very angry. "Yeah, do you think that Alice is like you guys? She is really good to me. When you see that I have been rested, all of you just dodged me, but she is still by my side!"
Well, that's absurd. Linda could be regarded as a smart girl, but how could she be fooled around by Alice like this?
It seemed that Alice hates Ashley deeply. She failed to kidnap her, and then she turned to instigate Linda to defame her. Linda was still thinking of her good after being rested. It was a waste of Alice's talent not to do pyramid scheming. Now Alice was instigating Linda to ask for Ashley's help. about her. Alice's disappearance had wasted her talent, and now she even instigated Linda to ask Ashley for help. What scheme was she brewing? Ashley couldn't figure it out.
Even if she couldn't figure it out, she couldn't be so passive anymore. Alice was a sinister snake. If she didn't address the problem at roots, sooner or later, Alice would come to hurt her again.
She thought for a while and decided to start with Linda.
"That's right. Alice is very kind to you. Back in the training, she took the first place from the bottom That really shocked me. She is so young but still keeps a low profile. She has improved so fast in three months. She's really a genius."
Linda sensed that there was some implication in what Ashley said, but she couldn't figure out what it was, so she frowned.
Ashley continued, "all the five of us are not a match for her. Either I or Morris were kidnapped or injured. If Mr. Jasper had already taken me away. Alice will be Mr. Jasper's artist now, she will have whatever she wants."
However, Linda was not stupid. She figured out what was in Ashley's remarks, and she was shocked, "you mean..."
Ashley interrupted, "Alice must hate me so much now. Please do me a favor. Let's have dinner together when you're free."
Linda was surprised and uncertain. Just now Ashley said that Alice was a calculating woman, but she said that she would invite Alice to have dinner all of a sudden. That was strange.
Ashley was playing with the grey lighter. She was just stating the truth and guessing that it was about Linda. She didn't say anything about the truth, and she didn't know the truth either.
On her way back, the more Linda recalled the things she didn't notice before, the more frightened she was.
Alice alienated Ashley who had been kind to her. She had been so cold to Alice, but Alice humbly behaved so closed to her. It was Alice who disclosed the scandal of Ashley to her, and it was also Alice who urged her to ask for help from Ashley, believing that as long as Ashley asked Jasper to help her, she would definitely succeed. Recently, Alice even said many times that she would not be rested without the presence of Ashley. Just now, when Linda heard that Ashley said that she would not be lifted the punishment until two years later, she had a murderous intention!
If things went on like this, the consequences would be unimaginable Linda trembled with fear. In the early autumn day, she suddenly felt as if she were in a world of ice and snow.
In the past, she was covered by a large cloud of fog and always be led by a rope, which made her feel that she couldn't do anything herself. When the mist dispersed, she saw that there was hell at the other end of the rope.
