Chapter 31 A Threat from Ashlee Ashlee was Clara's half-sister.
Although they shared the same father, they grew up in radically different environments and met very rarely.
Thus, they were not close to each other at all.
Knowing that Ashlee was Darren's fiancée, Clara was tired of Ashlee’s disingenuous kindness.
She didn't know why Ashtee made this call.
“Clara” Ashlee's sweet voice sounded from the phone.
"You dont seem happy to hear from me.
“Yes: Clara said in an impatient tone, “By all means, tell me, to what do I owe the pleasure?” “I have great news for you.
Ashlee said happily, “Ive heard that Aunt Helena is getting better, right?* Clara got nervous.
She wondered why Ashlee knew so much about it.
“Then what's wrong?’ Clara's voice turned colder.
“Clara, don't be so cold.
Anyway, I'm very worried about Aunt Helena” Ashlee's tone remained disingenuous.
“When t heard that you had to pay more for the medical bills, I am very concerned about you as weil, so I want to do you a favor” Ashlee wanted to to help her? How ridiculous! Clara sneered, ‘Then what can you do?” “Ihave a friend who is in charge of a magazine.
She is starving for personnel, so she offers a high salary” Ashlee continued, ‘Clara, you are so outstanding.
If you join her, youll definitely earn more than now? Clara got want Ashlee meant.
Ashlee wanted Clara to leave GLAM.
And then Clara could be kept away from Darren.
Thinking of this, Clara sneered.
“Ashlee, you're afraid that Darren still has feelings for me, right?” Hearing this, Ashlee tumed pale.
She didn't expect Clara to say it in such a straightforward way.
Ashlee bit her red lips, but her voice remained sweet.
"Clara, what are you talking about? You're a maried woman who used to be a prostitute.
You think too highly of yourself” Clara froze.
What Ashlee said was very unkind.
It was typical of Ashlee to say this in a sweet tone.
Clara's tone became cold.
“Ashlee, no matter what you want, I won't change my job"
She knew Ashlee very well, so Clara didn't think she would be well paid in the new magazine.
Instead, Ashlee might well take advantage of this chance to torture Clara.
Rejected, Ashlee couldn't bear it anymore.
She said in an angry voice, “Clara! You deserve no such attention!” “lt seems you are irked.’ Clara scoffed.
“Relax.
I'm fot interested in Darren at all, so you don't have to be $0 nervous.
Ashlee was irritated! Clara was lying! That slut! She was just playing hard-to-get!"
"Clara!"
Ashlee said coldly, “Leave GLAM, or I'll show you no mercy!” Clara sneered with disdain.
“Seriously? Ashlee, what can you do?* Ashlee thought, “Clara, you're asking for it!” A smile played on Ashlee's lips.
‘Ican make your lifes living hell” Ashlee's voice was sweet but cold, which sent a chill down Clara's spine.
