Joseph was a bit confused.
He followed Ashlyn out of the private room all the way to the car. It was not until he had started the engine that he snapped back to his senses.
So, we came out just like that? Whoa! Ashlyn's series of actions were aggressive, impressive, and arrogant! She was too d*mn daring! Mrs. Taylor is the wife of the Taylor family's main family! Yet, she offended the woman without any qualms?
“Uh... You...”
He wanted to say something, but Ashlyn cut him off. “Focus on driving.”
Joseph went silent.
The car then pulled up to the hotel entrance, upon which they alighted from the vehicle.
Joseph hesitated before venturing, “Aunt Ashlyn, we... I mean, you offended her. Aren't you afraid she'll retaliate against you?”
“Are you scared?” Ashlyn raised an eyebrow, looking very much conceited.
“I...” Joseph thought for a moment before saying, “I'm not afraid. After all, I'm penniless now with only my life left.”
“There you have it.” Ashlyn's lips curved into a smile. “If even you aren't scared, what do I have to fear?”
Hmm? What's with this unexpected sense of warmth I feel upon hearing that?
Inside the private room, Andrea's face was flushed bright red. With a sweep of her hand, she sent the red wine costing tens of thousands flying off the table to shatter on the floor.
Immediately, sounds of glass breaking split the air.
The server who had been standing outside heard the commotion and rushed in. “What happened, ma'am? Are you okay?”
Andrea hurled the cup in her hand at the server's face viciously. “Get out!”
Frightened, the server quickly closed the private room's door and left.
Winona was so terrified that she swiftly protected her head with both hands, not daring to approach her mother.
