Speaking of this, Ashley continued, "I have a party with friends tonight. Is there anything I need to deal with for you, Mr. Jasper? I'll make it done."
"What kind of party? Who will be there?" Asked Jasper.
Blinking her eyes, Ashley didn't expect that Jasper would ask such a clear question. She thought for a while and answered, "They are all sons and daughters of my father's circle. They often have dinner and sing together."
"Okay. Take care." Jasper let her go without hesitation.
The party was held at the home of a young man who had a good relationship with Francis. The reason of the party was to make up for the wedding party. The man told her that he hadn't had the chance to have a good time since Francis got married so fast. Now they were going to hold a party and get together.
Since June was a very popular person in this social circle, they would inform June of any news as soon as possible. After getting the news, June also told Ashley, which was the reason why she got to know that there would be a party. Actually, the party was not the most important thing. The main reason was that Ashley wanted to see Ethan to 'remind him.'
In the evening, Ashley came to the venue with jeans and a sweater, which she wore during the work, and a thick down jacket as well. She parked her car in the yard. The yard was filled with fancy cars which were parked in the cold wind. The window of the villa, which was ten meters away from here, was sandwiched in the middle by the hot air and cold air, creating a layer of white fog. Through the white mist, it could be vaguely seen that the shadows of light in the villa were intertwining and figures were shuttling back and forth.
Taking a deep breath, Ashley walked to the front of the villa and pulled open the door, which brought a gust of heat wave.
"Oh my gosh, Ashley, welcome!" Seeing Ashley come in, the host Kevin greeted her warmly. "Ashley, why are you dressing so plain and low-key? You didn't dress seriously. You'll be punished to drink later."
"Kevin, don't blame me. I have to drive home later." Ashley put on her coat and begged for mercy, clutching her hands.
"No way!" Kevin led her in, "Look, every woman is wearing dresses except you wear jeans. Paula, bring me a cup of wine!"
A young girl dressed as a servant came with a tray. Kevin took a glass of wine from the tray and handed it to Ashley. Knowing that she couldn't get away with it, Ashley drank the wine in one gulp.
"Okay!"
"You are a good drinker, Ashley!"
The whole room was cheering.
In the crowd, Francis and Sheila felt awful when they saw Ashley drinking. She not only and she also learned to drink. She had changed a lot after leaving him these years.
Seeing Ashley show up, Sheila couldn't help holding Francis tighter in her arms. Today when she went to the hospital, Gloria told her everything happened the day and night. After the video was taken away, although Gloria was sure that whether it was Ashley asked people to take the video, Ashley did not appear from beginning to end. The only certain thing was that the person who had taken the video must be related to Ashley.
As for whether it was Ashley schemed or not, perhaps Ashley had already got the video and knew that the man was Jasper, no one could make sure. Before coming to this party, Gloria had repeatedly reminded them not to go against Ashley. Now they had nothing that could threaten Ashley any more, and they couldn't mention the video either. Otherwise, Ashley would not know what they were doing and might be misled by them.
Sheila punched her harder. 'Ashley, I will seize a chance to revenge on you. How dare you insult my mother like this!
"Sheila, do you want to strangle me?" Francis broke away from Sheila's grip.
Sheila quickly apologized sincerely, and gently rubbed the place where she pinched. "I'm sorry, Francis. I didn't mean to hurt you."
Francis shook off Sheila's hand and answered impatiently, "You just can't do anything right."
Feeling both aggrieved and uncomfortable, Sheila didn't dare to speak any more. Since what had happened in the wedding dress shop last time, Francis had become more and more impatient to her. Sheila was afraid that Francis would really divorce her because of anger. During this period, she was in all obedience to Francis.
Not far away, Ethan saw that her beloved girl had been wronged, but he could only watch from a distance and it was inconvenient to get close, so he couldn't help drinking sulkily.
June had already heard about the gossips among the three. Holding a glass of juice in her hand, she looked at the three with a smile on her face and a meaningful smile.
"Since Ashley is here, I feel embarrassed for Sheila..." A woman with short hair wearing a blue dress glanced at Sheila and said with disdain.
The other woman was also serious in gossip. "Yes, she stole the other's husband and even defamed her in the entertainment media 'What a bastard! Heartless bastard!' If I had a daughter like her, I would've strangled her...
"Yeah, you are right. Sheila is so thick skinned that she dare to join the party in this circle."
Another woman joined them and teased, "What a lucky guy Francis is! The two sisters of the Xue family all love him."
The lady in blue snorted, "Humph! He can't even protect your own wife. How dare he cheated on her? Humph!"
Seeing that Ashley and Kevin had just finished greeting, June waved her hand and said, "Ashley, come here!"
