Seeing Ashley getting along with the Pliskins, Frankie thought for a while and couldn't help but walk over.
Charlie, Jeremy, and the others immediately followed.
They couldn't allow the Pliskins to take Ashley away, no matter what had happened.
When Karen and Brian noticed Frankie and the others, they immediately became wary and protected Ashley from being bullied again.
Valentin and Joseph came over, either.
Ashley originally intended to amuse Valentin, but when she turned around and noticed Frankie approaching, the smile in her eyes dissipated, and she looked indifferent and alienated.
She changed her attitude toward the Pliskins just now.
Matthew noticed her expression and felt distressed.
Their arrogance had alienated them from Ashley.
Frankie could tell the Pliskins had an intense hostility towards them.
George, in particular, stared at them with hatred in his eyes as if he wanted to teach them a lesson the next moment.
Lester didn't show any sternness in his eyes, but he looked extraordinarily scheming, which left others suffocated.
Frankie swallowed subconsciously, stopped several steps away from Ashley, looked at Lester, and spoke.
"Mr. Lester Pliskin, I heard from Ryan that you once did a paternity test with Ashley at the hospital, so you're definitely not related, right?"
Frankie said firmly.
After a pause, he continued, "You've been looking for your lost daughter, and Ashley was popular for her abilities. It's normal that you wanted to take paternity test with her. But what a pity! Ashley is our sister, and has nothing to do with you."
Hearing Frankie's words, Ashley fell into the gloom.
She could understand Frankie's certainty. She had done three previous paternity tests with the Ramos family, all proving they had been related.
As expected, Frankie added, "Ashley had done three previous paternity tests with us, all proving we had been related. Ashley belongs to the Ramos family."
Jeremy felt resentful and echoed, "Anyway, Ashley is our sister. Don't try to take her away."
Hearing this, Lester sneered coldly, with sarcasm in his eyes, "Your sister? Then how did you treat her? You bullied her, abused her, and wanted to put her in jail. Is what what she get for being your sister? In that case, she is better off as a stranger for you."
Jeremy choked on his anger, blushed in awkward, and couldn't utter a word to refute.
They had done a lot of wrong things and hurt Ashley too many times.
Hearing Lester's words, Frankie froze in place. He suddenly felt a great sense of remorse and couldn't refute it.
Matthew gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, "We admit our mistakes before, and we'll make up for it. In the future, we'll give everything Ashley wants."
The sarcasm in Lester's eyes deepened, and he sneered, "To make up for it? What can you provide to make up for her? Money? Fame? But Ashley has more than you."
Matthew got furious, but he could do nothing with it.
Lester was right. They couldn't make it up for Ashley and would just make it harder for her.
Evan and others in the Ramos family had done a lot of wrong things, implicating Ashley and affecting her reputation.
Hearing this, Brian and Karen felt distressed. They found anyone from the Ramos family could only cause Ashley harm.
They indeed hoped the excellent Ashley would be their daughter.
