However, the next second, Jaden squinted condescendingly at Frankie, who was blocking the road.
"Frankie? I've never heard of you."
Frankie was stunned upon hearing this, and his smile suddenly froze, looking funny.
In fact, Jaden had heard of Frankie and knew that he was Ashley's eldest brother, but he couldn't stand how Frankie had bullied Ashley before, so he deliberately mocked him.
Frankie looked embarrassed. Then he thought Jaden was the founder of Glory Youveile and rarely came to Zyrrinthia, so it was normal not to recognize him. So, Frankie shifted his gaze to Jessica.
Jessica understood Frankie's meaning and nodded slightly. She looked at the assistant beside Jaden and smiled gently. "Damon, I contacted you yesterday. Now that Mr. Walter is in Zyrrinthia, we'd like to offer our warmest welcome and treat him to a meal. Can we have this honor?"
Damon whispered to Jaden, "Mr. Walter, this is Jessica."
Jaden frowned, "Jessica?"
He didn't know Jessica.
Damon lowered his voice and said, "She is my college classmate, and she said she wanted to make acquaintance with you."
Jaden had a good relationship with Damon. He heard what Damon said and turned to look at Jessica.
Jessica saw his gaze and was pleasantly surprised.
Frankie was excited when he noticed that Jaden's attitude toward Jessica was different.
He thought, 'Jessica is capable and can strike up a conversation with Jaden!'
Jessica took the opportunity to introduce, "Mr. Walter, Frankie is my eldest brother. We would like to treat you to dinner. We won't delay you for long."
Jaden heard this, and the gentleness on his face suddenly disappeared. He sneered.
He thought, 'Jessica turns out to be Frankie's sister. She is also the one who bullied Ashley. That bad woman!'
Frankie didn't know why Jaden's face suddenly turned cold.
Jessica didn't understand what happened. She thought, 'Did I say something wrong?'
Frankie couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Walter, the Ramos Group's clothing brand was expelled from the Millein Fashion Association a few days ago. Could you please tell us the reason?"
Jaden glanced at him, his cold gaze tinged with a hint of sarcasm. "The Ramos Group's clothing brand is just a low-end brand. You were lucky enough to join the association. Isn't it normal to be expelled?"
His words dumbfounded the surrounding reporters. They looked at each other in confusion.
They thought Jessica knew Jaden's assistant and could befriend Jaden. But now, it seemed that was not the case.
Jessica bit her lip in embarrassment and took a step forward. "Mr. Walter, we don't mean to waste your time. We just want to have a chance to talk with you."
Jaden was stopped again, and his face turned even colder, especially when he saw Ashley waiting for him not far away and seeming to be impatient.
Ashley saw Jaden standing at the exit for a long time. She yawned impatiently.
Jaden saw this and immediately ran over.
He couldn't let Ashley wait for him and be anxious.
Jaden ran away, and Damon also ran after him.
Those reporters saw this scene and were a little stunned.
It was rumored that Jaden came from an aristocratic family and was a respecter of proprieties. Why did he run away in such a hurry in public?
Frankie frowned.
Jessica comforted and said, "Frankie, don't worry. We will meet Attelia. Mr. Walter hurriedly left because he must have something important to do. We can talk to him much today, which is already a good start."
Frankie nodded. Jessica was right. It was good enough to talk so much to Jaden just now.
However, halfway through Frankie's nodding, he stopped stiffly. He stared in a certain direction in surprise.
"Frankie, what are you looking at?"
Jessica was confused and followed Frankie's gaze. The next second, she was also stunned.
She saw Jaden, who had just run away in a hurry, running toward Ashley.
Jessica gritted her teeth. She still had a fluke, thinking Jaden just passed by Ashley. Yes, it would!
But the next second, Jaden ran to Ashley and stopped. He smiled, opened his arms, and wanted to hug Ashley, but Ashley stopped him in disgust and refused to let him hug her.
Those reporters were surprised.
Sure enough! The relationship between Jaden and Ashley was special.
It wasn't until Ashley and Jaden left the airport that Frankie came to his senses. He stared in the direction where Ashley was leaving.
He tried hard to curry favor with Jaden, but Jaden was obedient and flattering to Ashley.
Frankie thought, 'How did Ashley know Jaden? That damn girl!'
The scene between Ashley and Jaden was posted online by reporters. It instantly drew the attention of netizens.
[Could Ashley have worked in Glory Youveile before and met Jaden?]
...
Ashley drove Jaden and Damon to a villa.
After entering the door, Ashley said, "Jaden, it will be inconvenient for me to pay you a visit if you stay in a hotel, and the public will misunderstand our relationship if we are caught on camera. This villa is vacant, and you can stay here for now."
Jaden understood. "Is this your villa?"
Ashley nodded. "I've already asked someone to clean it. I'll buy whatever is missing."
Jaden immediately rushed over and wanted to hug her. "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let me hug you..."
Ashley stretched out her arm and warned him with a serious look. "Stop. Don't come over."
Being refused again, Jaden looked depressed.
Ashley was about to take Jaden to have dinner when her phone chimed. She received an email.
Ashley clicked it casually. After checking it, she smiled brightly.
But Jaden felt that her smile looked dangerous.
"What is it?" Jaden asked.
Ashley showed him the screen and said in disdain, "An annoying man wanted to make an appointment with Attelia."
