He stood up and walked past Ashton. As he sauntered towards the stairs, he casually said, “I don’t think we need to carry on with this meal. Dismiss, everyone.”
The next second, a loud sound of glass shattering onto the ground rang in the living room.
As I turned around, Ashton was standing there with his fists clenched tightly, seething with anger.
Roses and broken pieces of porcelain lay in a pool of water, dirtying the clean floor. The vase that was originally placed on the coffee table was now gone.
A maid rushed over and said tentatively, “Sir, we’ll clean this up. You…”
Ashton did not reply, he just stood still. When the maid was about to start cleaning up the mess, he turned abruptly and left, scaring the poor maid.
This wealthy family had too much drama. Since he had left, I had no reason to stay here as an outsider. Taking Gregory with me, I rushed out to catch up with Ashton.
He was still very agitated. As soon as he reached the door, he snatched the car key from the chauffeur and got behind the wheel.
Upon seeing that, Joseph clenched his fists anxiously. “Sh*t! He might get into danger.”
I cast him a glance and pondered for a second before handing Gregory to him. “Send Gregory home first.”
With that, I jogged towards the car and slid inside right before Ashton started the car.
He whipped around and glared at me with his fury eyes. Locking eyes with him, I could not help but gulp nervously.
“Get out,” he enunciated his sentence word by word.
“You wish!” Feigning calmness, I looked away, fastened my seat belt, and stared ahead. “Go on. I have some things to talk to you about.”
He narrowed his eyes at me and stared me down for a couple more seconds before releasing the brake pedal and raced out of the house.
