Chapter 284
Ashley was flustered as she thought, That… What does he mean by
By that?
d like me?*
She stuntered, “N–No, I don’t have a boyfriend, Mr. Wallace. And you misunderstood. I don’t have any admirers. Who would
“Ms. Harvey, seems like you don’t know your own charm yet. I think you’re a wonderful girl. I can see many outstanding merits in you, so have more confidence in yourself okay?” Benjamin assured.
“Why, thank you, Mr. Wallace.” Ashley had this faraway look in her eyes as she had completely fallen for Benjamin’s sweet nothings, unable to extricate herself.
After breakfast, Benjamin still had some things to deal with, so he called a taxi for Ashley and personally sent her off.
Ashley sat in the c
car with a dazed look on her face. It took her a long time to come back to her senses when she cupped her face, looking shy. She mumbled to herself, “Yeah, now this is the right way to go. All the best men in the world should be my servants instead of being snatched away by that bitch Selina What’s so good about her anyway? Without her identity as the legitimate daughter of the Harvey family, she’s basically nothing. Only Trevon is blind enough to fall for her
Now that she had Benjamin, Ashley no longer had to be obsessed with Trevon And Joseph couldn’t object to her dating Benjamin since it wasn’t Edwin, Trevon’s friend. This could work out for everyone.
When Ashley took out h
her phone, she was shocked to see texts from so many people. Joseph, Lloyd, Manuel and Lisa What’s up with them?? Ashley called Joseph in confusion.
The call was picked up within seconds and Joseph’s impatient voice sounded, “Ashley Harvey! Where are you right now?”
This was the first time that Joseph had called Ashley by her full name. And judging from his tone, Ashley had an ominous thought. She asked, “What’s wrong, Joseph! 1. Im going home now.”
“Wait for me at home,” Joseph said before hanging up.
The joy that she had felt from interacting with Benjamin just now turned into anxiety.
Ashley tentatively sent WhatsApp messages to Lloyd, Manuel and Lisa to find out what had happened and why Joseph was so angry. But none of then knew anything. They asked Ashley to hurry home and meet Joseph to find out what had happened.
When Ashley returned home. Joseph immediately pulled her to the living room and closed the door. Lloyd and Manuel didn’t know she was back Jet
Seeing this Ashley couldn’t help but gulp nervously, Joseph, what… what’s p
going on!”
“Ashley, let me ask you a question. You’ve been leaving early and returning late these days. You said you were going to play with your friends, but were you actually meeting up with Mike and Jack?” Joseph asked coldly.
He sounded cold but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart. He hoped those pictures were fake and that Ashley hadn’t deceived him..
Ashley knew this day would come sooner or later, but she didn’t expect it to be so sudden. She pursed her lips. “L Joseph, I’m sorry. I’m just trying so hard to get a role. I don’t want to be an extra. I want to be a supporting actress.”
“You!” Jourph snailed
The moment a truth was revealed was always very cruel, Joseph clenched his fists. “Ashley, are you out of your mind? I’ve warned you repeatedly that those two men are plotting against you, and you will foolishly approached them. Are you crazy?”
Ashley tried to explain Joseph. Im not. Actually, Mr. Crosby and Mr. Pearson are very gentlemanly and treat me well. This is my only chance. As long as I get it, I can forgo many years of struggle. Joseph, didn’t you say that even with the Harvey family as our backing, we have to rely on our diens efforts to develop?”
“To develop! Is this how you develop? Joseph immediately took out his phone, opened the photos sent by the mysterious person and threw it in front of Ashley.
Ashley’s expression darkened when she saw them. This This is impossible, Joseph, please don’t misunderstand. I never did that!”
You
never did that I’ve already sent the photos to someone I trust to check if they’re p will affect the Harvey family’s reputation if they were to get out! Everyone will know you’re doing this for the role. You’ve really disappointed me ‘re photoshopped. Ashley, do you know how much these photos
Ashley cried, “…I didn’t, Joseph. H

recently to have fun with friends. I believed that you’re drinking just because you’re happy. It seems like your happiness lies in the fact that you re out with men! Do you know how heartbreaking it was when someone sent these photos directly to my phone? Ashley, if these photos aren’t photoshopped and they get exposed. I wonder how you’ll explain them to our parents
Ashley became speechless from Joseph’s scolding. She could only lower her head and pinch the corner of her clothes. Her tears kept falling like pearls from a broken necklace.
