Exclusive Memory novel Chapter 20

Sheila's face turned blue with anger, but what Ashley said was true, and she couldn't find anything wrong. "I think it's not that you don't want to attend the ceremony. It is you don't dare to go. You still can't forget Francis, right?"

She was prodding her into action.

However, Sheila prodded her in the right way. "I certainly dare to go. Why not?" Ashley snorted.

Things were settled then.

When she went to work, Samuel stopped her and asked her to hitch a lift to the ceremony.

After driving for a while, Samuel said, "I'm sorry that you must feel greatly wronged. Whatever you need, just let me know and I will do my best as long as I can."

Ashley snorted in her heart. "I don't need anything."

"Sheila wasn't grown up with me. It's not her fault to cultivate such character during the resource-scarce periods when she was a child. Although she did a lot of wrong things, please forgive her for my sake."

"Ok!"

Regardless of her attitude, Samuel shifted the topic to her work, "Ashley, I'm driving you to work today, not to relax your tense relationship with Sheila. What I'm going to tell you is your future. You came back very late last night, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"Tell me, what do you work for?"

She didn't say a word.

Seeing that she didn't say a word, Samuel continued, "maybe you don't feel deeply right now, but when you are at my age, you will know time flies. You will know life is too short to do many things. I'm lucky. Although there are some ups and downs in my career, I've already achieved something. My life is not in vain. What about you, Ashley? Have you realized your dream? "

"You made some achievements?" Ashley turned around and looked at her indifferently, "money, status, power, are these what you're talking about?"

"This is just the common standard of measuring in the society. You don't have to always go against me. You know I don't mean that."

"Then what are you talking about?" Ashley said aggressively, "You just want me to take over your business, bury my life in steel and concrete and pretend to be cordial to those people with whom I never want to associate"

"Ashley!" Samuel trembled with anger, "Speak properly! Do you believe I beat you?"

"If you have the energy, you'd better mind Gloria and Sheila to do less disgraceful things." Looking at her father, Ashley said word by word, "You never care about me before. It's too late for you to mind my business now."

"Get out! Get out! Get out! Get off my car!"

The driver parked the car by the side of the road. And then Ashley opened the door and left without looking back.

Now he wanted to interfere with her life. Then why not took care of her when she was in high school. If he took some time to give her some care and love, he would have known how miserable her life had been at that time. She was cowardly and helpless at that time. Why didn't he help her at that time?

A week later, Sheila engagement ceremony was imminent. Samuel had been ignoring her for the whole week while Ashley had been living her own life, being unaffected by her father's attitude.

She had spent lavishly in Banquet Night Building and bought that pricey dress. After that, Ashley was so regretful that she didn't want to spend more money on a new dress. She picked up the dress she had worn last time to attend the engagement ceremony. Although it was a little inappropriate to wear a black dress on such a wedding ceremony, she didn't plan to bless this couple at the very beginning. Anyway.

The wedding of Sheila and Francis was held on the grass of the Xue's villa. Although it was just an engagement party, they invited many business partners, close friends as well as young men and women from aristocratic family. Everyone took advantage of this time to communicate with each other about the potential cooperation opportunity.

Naturally, Ashley came with her family's car and well dressed with great care.

Ashley was very clear how beautiful her face was, especially after makeup. Her etiquette teacher had once said that she was a true beauty even without makeup; she looked fabulous with light make-up, making her extraordinarily beautiful in ancient costume; while she was in heavy makeup, she was just like a top star and a vengeful woman. She was the leading lady even without words or actions.

Because of the assessment of her teacher, she became an undoubted campus belle. It was just because of the title she attracted many boys by her fame. And Francis was one of them.

The car of the Fang, of course, had attracted much attention at the engagement ceremony. Samuel and Gloria got off the car first, and then Sheila came off in a creamy white engagement dress. The upper part of her wedding dress was a sleeveless top, sexy and dignified. Under the waist of the dress was a two-layer design. Inside was the lining and outside was the pleated printed organza.

Sheila looked very pure and noble in the dress. With her nude makeup and naive face, she was like a noble lady.

Seeing that Sheila got off the car, Francis walked up to her and held her with his hand. His peers around him were about to cheer up when Ashley got off the car.

Everyone was silenced by her luxury dress and charming face.
