Chapter 280
On the way back, after deep contemplation, Sara finally told Quinton what she had just heard from Ruby, "What do you think Ruby means, - Darling' Dedn't she hate Selina because of Trevon and wanted to embarrass her?"
1 don't know what she means. H
means. Honey. Just leave it alone
e and worry n more about your health," replied Quinton
How can Hewe it alone! Darling. I'm worried Ruby will harm Selina. Besides, Cora and Timothy hare Selina so much now... Argh, my head hurts! How do we resolve their hatred toward Selina? One is my biological daughter, and the other is my best friend," whined Sara. Sara
Hearing this, Quinton quickly massaged Sara's aching temples and stopped talking about the topic. He knew discussing this would only make 5 worry more about Selina
"Selina, I can't believe you have such power over Sara, making her worry about you even after you repeatedly hurt her, thought Quinton, anger slowly overcoming him as he recalled the anxious look Sara had cast upon Selia when she went up the stage. "Why did she look at me as though ewed her something! She wouldn't even be in this world if it weren't for me. Quinton continued, fuming inwardly.
Right then. Quinton's phone vibrated. Initially, he thought it was from a satisfied client he had met at the party earlier. However, his expression stiffened when he looked at the message he had received. It was from an unknown number, and there were only two words in the message: [I'm back)
Sara glanced at Quinton and asked. "What's the matter, Darling? Who sent the message? And why do you look so pale!"
"It's just a spam message mumbled Quinton as he cleared his throat and put the phone into his pocket. He did not know the sender, but an aminous feeling overcame him
Several days passed in the blink of an eye, yet Joseph and Ashley's interview results were still in the air. Ashley was unusually calm, her mind preoccupied by the strange message she had received the other day. It was almost similar to the one Quinton received, with one extra word: [I'm back Ashley]
After that, Ashley tried to reply to the message or make a phone call. However, her messages were rejected, and the phone seemed to be switched off The investigation result of Ashley's private investigator indicated the phone card was stolen from someone else, and they could not track the person
The only known thing was that the message sender was in Sakovis. With the size of the city, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, with them being in the dark about what the person even looked like
Ashley knew she was the child Quinton had with another woman. Since the biological daughter of the Harvey family had died a long time ago, she was just a tool used to comfort Sara
In honesty. Ashley did not want her biological mother to show up. Although currently, her life was not as smooth railing as before, if Sara, Joseph, Lloyd, and Manuel knew her true identity, she would definitely be kicked out of the Harvey family, and Selina would be able to reclaim her identity as the seal daughter of the Harvey family! All this splendor and wealth would turn into a pipe dream for Astley!
Just then, Ashley's phone rang. Her heart skipped a beat as the took out her phone and saw the unfamiliar number. She answered the phone with trembling fingers and said, "Hello? Who is chic
"Ms. Harvey, this is Mike. Do you all remember me?" replied Mike in his weird accent.
It was Make Crosby, thought Ashley as she secretly sighed in relief. "Of course, I remember, Mr. Crosby, I assume you are calling regarding the interview result
"Of course" Since Ms. Harvey is not only smart but also beautiful and an excellent actress, there were no big surprises in the interview results, so congratulations, M. Harvey! gushed Mike. "T-That is just great, mumbled Ashley. But Ashley was not just aiming to be an extra. She wanted at least a supporting actress role! And if she wamed that, she needed to convince Bengamint

to dinner. I need to discuss something with you about the show added Mike, extending an
Of course, Ashley was aware of Mike's perverted feelings for her She lud learned to use such feelings to control these men in the palm of her hand. If Joseph knew about it, he would definitely object to Ashley going to see Mike. However, to get close to Benjamin Ashley needed to make good use of Benjamin's assistans. Mike, who was interested in Ashley
"Tarr. Mr. Grosby. But let's keep this between us, all right? murmured Ashely demurely.
"I was thinking aloog te same line, Ms. Harvey. I can see that Mr. Harvey seems to have misunderstood me, and that would have been li
I just want in spend surue tune with you, Ms. Harvey apled Mike
Alloogle Thank you Mr. Camby Theless you are a gentlemant chiped Jubiley
After ending the call, Ashley held her phone tightly. Ashley had no time to contemplate the mysterious woman now. Presently, her focus should be on her career. Selina completely ruined Ashley's plan for the "Serenity of Rural Life" show, so she could not let anything go wrong with The Game of Viego"!
That night, Selina invited Ruby out for dinner with Lydia. Selina made a brief introduction. "Lydia, this is Ruby, the person I told you about," she
said.
"Wow, she is a beauty! And the key thing is she has a different temperament from other pretentious bitches. Selina, you have good taste, praised Lydia, extending her to Ruby and continuing. Just call me Lydia. They both had surprisingly similar tastes and preferences for people.
"Hello, Lydia. Selina has also told me so much about you...." replied Ruby.
As they chatted, Lydia realized that the conversation with Ruby went smoothly. The core was that Ruby spoke sincerely with no hints of fawning or empty flattery, meaning they shared values. What luck meeting a person with such a compatible nature! Lydia couldn't help but ask, "Selina, where on earth did you find someone so compatible with us!
"Im glad you like her replied Selina. She thought, Lydia would probably be shocked if I told her how I met Ruby
It's fine. Selina. Actually, we came to know each other... Ruby started to say. She told Lydia openly about her matter involving Trevon and the incident at the pany
Lydia's mouth widened in shock as she wondered, 'How did Selina and Ruby become friends after all that? It's an eye-opener.
Ruby chuckled and said. "It's a miracle, actually. The fact that I'm Selina's friend feels like a dream. Others might think that we would have become ncompatible. Even if we don't become sworn enemies, being friends was probably the last thing they would think we would become."
Ruby why should two women with similar tastes become strangers to each other over a man? There are plenty of fish in the water. And I want to become friends with you," joked Selina
Although making out Mr. Brady to be a fish is a little extreme, you are right. As long as you don't mind, I definitely don't, replied Ruby, clinking lasses with Selina and sipping the 1982 Lafire
Lydia nodded and replied, "That's right! What's so good about that jerk that two beauties are head over heels for him? It makes me so angry! Tell hose jerks to get lost while we rejoice in our happiness and live our lives as happy women!
Lydia, how are things between you and Neil going?" asked Selina
Tothing new there. I usually visit and torment him when I'm free. Wait a minute! Why are we talking about me and Nell now? Sel mplying? quizzed Lydia,
Selina, what are you
m just asking" placated Selina. She thought, I guess Lydia is still as d eil, you deserve this for falling with such a dense
person.
as dense and unaware as us
as usual while the rest of us couldn't be clearer on it: Well
Lydia was about to retort, she suddenly noticed something and hurriedly shouted, "Lower your heads!"
