Just one 'I understand" proved that he understood what had happened. 'For his own life, he asked his sister to save his life, well done." Why didn't he think about his sister's unhealthy body, it was difficult to protect her, and she even had to donate bone marrow to him?"

Lorne's words carried a hint of provocation, coldly mocking: 'Now he's begging her, where did the past go?"


'The past?"

Kane didn't understand anything. Lorne looked at Kane's face with a meaningful expression: 'What's the matter? Don't you know? She was in prison."

Kane nodded, of course, he knew. 'Then you should also know that the Patterson family abandoned her when she was at her most difficult, cutting off all ties. It's fine now, but when they needed someone, they shamelessly came to find her. There are things, if the Patterson family had a little humanity, if they only cared a little about Ashley, then many things could have been avoided. For example, losing a kidney."


Kane agreed with what Lorne said, the only thing the Patterson family needed to do at that time was to visit the prison, even if it was just once, they would know Ashley's situation at that time.

The strength of the Elise family naturally could not be underestimated, but the Patterson family had roots in S City and was also considered a wealthy family with a long history, even if it was an unknown family, it was not without some foundation.


At that time, as long as a member of the Patterson family went to prison, even if it was just once, it could change some things.

'So… there are such things," Kane recalled the incident in the office today, the girl's reaction when facing Bentley, suddenly he seemed to understand the complicated emotions on her face that he almost couldn't understand at that time. She hid it very well, but at that time Bentley cursed the heavens and the earth, blamed and resented her, everyone's attention was focused on those curses. As for him, at the exact moment, the girl lowered her eyes, he grasped them, those eyes contained thousands and thousands of complicated emotions intertwined.

He looked up at Lorne, thought for a few seconds, and then almost immediately made a decision. Using simple words to tell Lorne about the incident at Patterson Corporation, 'I said, I believe her no matter what others say."

Lorne didn't conclude, only asked blandly: 'What happened next?"

'She said thank you." Kane half-laughed and half-cried: 'What I need is not her thanks. You don't know that when she said thank you to me, I panicked. But until now, I still don't understand, at that time, why did I panic so much, even hurriedly ran away."

Kane didn't notice, that under Lorne's spear-shaped hair, a flash of pain flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly sitting up straight, the bounce was relatively large, and the cowhide sofa moved slightly due to the shock, Lorne stood up straight, his smile stiff, looking straight at Kane on the opposite side. 'Listen, let go."

Kane's eyelids trembled slightly, opening his mouth to ask why, Lorne had already turned around and quickly left.

'No." Kane quickly stood up from the chair next to the bar, rushed after Lorne, and shouted madly: 'I won't give up."

Lorne didn't stop, just turned his back to Kane, shook his head, and smiled slightly.

"Three years ago, I didn't believe her, I thought she was some girl, and labeled her.

If you know you're wrong and correct it, is that precious? Just like today, I won't rely on my own subjective opinion and label her, draw or conclusions. I believe in her. No matter what others say."

Kane's extremely resolute voice entered Lorne's ears.

Lorne lifted his foot that was floating in the air and paused for three seconds, but the next moment, he took another step, turned his back to Kane, and said as he walked: "You will know."

He will know... as for what he will know, Lorne didn't say. Kane couldn't see the predetermined ending, it was cruel... Just like him that year.

The corners of Lorne's lips were filled with bitterness.

Kane chased after him, shouting in a hurry: "Tell me. What will I know? Lorne. You have to tell me."

Kane's hurried and confused expression was transmitted to Lorne. He suddenly stopped, bent down, thought for a moment, and said: "Kane, my old friend. If you want me to advise you, then I advise you... to be serious and sincere and apologize. After that, don't see her again."

Lorne ignored Kane who was still standing there in a daze and turned around to leave. As soon as he turned around, he had disappeared around the corner... Kane, his old friend, still couldn't understand. His trust and respect three years ago were extremely precious, that was what Ashley wanted so much. But today, after three years... his friend, Kane, had done something extremely stupid... always giving away the most important things at the wrong time. Therefore, everything had become unimportant.

—

Her whole body was tired, Ashley drove to the bottom floor of the main building but did not stop at the garage, she sat in the car, but did not want to go out, the car window was half rolled down, and she stuck her head out, looking up at the building. The window was lit before Milan came, it was usually dark.

Now it was good, the lights were on, and someone was waiting for her to return.

But why was she so resistant?

Today passed in chaos, Kane, Bentley, one battle after another, home was the most private place, but she was in no hurry to return. During the day, when Jerome came to find her to get the key, without saying a word, he took the key and left, making her feel that she was nothing, deep down, even an eight-year-old fool could not understand. The phone rang, in the quiet car, the sound rang urgently. She reached out to take it. "Come here for a drink, I drink wine, you drink tea."

Hearing this familiar voice, the tension in Ashley's heart was suddenly relieved, and a trace of joy appeared on her small face: "Okay, is it still the same place?"

"Yes, still the same place, I'll wait for you."

The call ended, Ashley put down the phone, turned the key, hesitated for a moment, and then raised her head to look at the bright window upstairs. She pursed her lips, determined to step on the gas... don't be soft-hearted, don't be soft-hearted.

The car stopped at a nightclub, and under the guidance of the waiter, she entered a private room. "Come here, sit down, there's freshly brewed tea."

"You're thoughtful, you know I like this kind of tea." Ashley didn't hesitate, went straight into the room, put down her bag, took off her coat, and sat down.

"Busy person, how's the strong girl doing these days?"

Meadow said while pouring tea for Ashley.

Ashley smiled: "Meadow, say whatever you want to say. Don't call me that."

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Meadow went straight to the point: 'I heard about it."

'Please speak."

'Remember Elliot?"

Ashley leaned down, very calm: 'So what?"

Meadow seemed to be waiting for someone, hearing Ashley speak, she knew the other party didn't want to mention this person named Elliot.

Sure enough, the incident that year was still a thorn in her eyes.

'He's been appearing at the nightclub many times recently."

Not waiting for Meadow to finish speaking, Ashley said softly: 'What's so surprising about him coming to play with flowers?"

Meadow heard this, her eyes moved, and in just a moment she could guess Ashley's thoughts, she chuckled. 'Then you're behind on the information." The wine glass in Meadow's hand moved slightly. 'Hey, I'm telling you, you're the president of a company after all, if you don't grasp the information, it's not good."

Ashley didn't speak, took a sip of tea, and waited for Meadow to continue.

"A few days ago, I saw him at Paradise Club. It's not strange that he went to look for sweet fruits, but what if he was with President Ambrose?"

Ashley bent down, her eyelashes trembling: "What did you see?"

"You know, I'm the boss's subordinate, I've worked for him for many years. If compared to Reuben and the others, of course, I can't compare. But a woman's sixth sense is always very accurate."

Meadow suddenly put down the wine glass in her hand, "Clank" a very light sound hit the table, then frowned at her, and looked at Ashley seriously: "Did something happen to the boss?"
