Chapter 555
Ashlyn wasn’t sure how she should react.
“These are all for you.” Richard crossed his legs comfortably, like a leopard taking a rest under the sun.
Once he finished, the men in black suits opened the gifts in unison.
There were diamond rings, gems, necklaces, bracelets, antiques, drawings, legendary swords, and so on.
All the items were worth a hell of a lot of money if she sold them.
After a while, Ashlyn heaved a sigh and said, “You surely want something from me in exchange for the gifts. Tell me,
how can I help you this time?”
“Ashlyn is indeed smart.” Richard couldn’t help but chuckle.
Then he whispered in her ears, “Take it easy. My secretary will email you later.”
Ashlyn smacked her lips in response.
Richard picked up a big shrimp for her and said, “Let’s enjoy the meal. The food here is delicious.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter he started eating, his underlings, who sat near him at the table, grabbed their forks and spoons to eat.
As Richard’s underlings who worked for him for years, they knew he doted on Ashlyn very much.
Hence, they dared not to eat without their boss’ permission.
As they enjoyed the meal, Richard picked up some food for Ashlyn and asked if she was doing great.
His series of questions did not annoy her.
Given that they hadn’t met for many years, she still felt awkward when they had nothing to talk about over the
phone.
Now that they finally met in person, she realized time did nothing to diminish her respect for him.
“Are you married?” Suddenly, Richard turned grumpy and asked her in a crisp voice.
Through an investigation, he was informed that she was married but got a divorce later. However, it still pained him
to hear from her mouth.
He felt indignant on her behalf.
“I got a divorce.” Ashlyn glanced at him curiously and continued, “Richard, are you upset because I didn’t tell you?”
“Of course! We’re sworn siblings. Anyone who bullies you is bullying me too!” Richard said coldly.
No matter what, they were married for four years. His pure and innocent girl was tainted.
He had an impulse to kill the man.
“Calm down, Richard.” Ashlyn patted him on his back and changed the subject naturally. “How long do you plan to
stay here?”
“How long do you want me to stay?” Even though Richard looked at Ashlyn smilingly, she couldn’t ascertain his
inner thoughts.
After a while, she raised her eyebrows and said, “How do I know? Stay as long as you wish.”
At the same time, the Chapman family was seated in the cubicle.
When they were having lunch, Hera was preoccupied thinking about Ashlyn.
She didn’t even notice it when Sisley talked to her a few times.
Fortunately, because Bob Chapman was a good friend of Mr. and Mrs. Hunt, she had basically secured her entry
into the International Piano Competition.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven though Hera wasn’t qualified to participate in this competition, Mr. and Mrs. Hunt sympathized with her
because Bob’s life was hanging by a thread.
Mr. Hunt said, “We’ll visit Bob in the hospital after lunch.”
“It’s still early to be there now. Besides, we are not allowed to enter the ICU,” Sisley replied while wiping her tears
away. “Why does my dad have to suffer all these things?”
The Chapman family saw Mr. and Mrs. Hunt to the door after lunch. Coincidentally, they met Ashlyn, who was
coming out of the Heavenly Waterfall Room at the same time.
She was wearing a simple black and white shirt with black pencil pants.
Even though her clothes were ordinary, she still looked gorgeous, cold, and eye-catching.
When Hera noticed Ashlyn, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Ashlyn?”
Several men also left the private room with her. One of them, who walked next to Ashlyn, wore gold frame glasses.
He looked imposing, graceful, and handsome like a nobleman.
As soon as Hera said her name, the Chapman family turned around and glanced at Ashlyn.
Mrs. Hunt was chatting with Sisley. However, she stopped talking right away as soon as she looked up at the man.
