Ashley closed her eyes, she was very tired. Just now, Master Kane, without her permission, touched the wound that she didn't want others to touch... that kiss touched more than just the wound on her forehead.

Then there was Giselle's unreasonable harassment, if it was someone else, Ashley would still be Ashley but now, that was impossible.


She needed a quiet space, to hide herself, not to think about anything, not to do anything.

"If by logic, you set me up first, then I can completely disregard your life and death." Ashley slowly said: 'If you have an opinion towards me, then it becomes the reason you can harm me at will, like that, I think, I can pay you back for everything you have done to me.

Moreover, Giselle, what do you think is the reason you can stand in front of me unscathed now?"


Ashley laughed and said, 'Or, you can go and bother the boss again, think about it, what method will the boss use to deal with you this time?"

There is no need to say more.


If Giselle still doesn't understand, either she doesn't understand, or Giselle herself doesn't want to understand.

'I, I don't know what you're talking about. Ashley, you're too strange, saying such nonsense, if you don't want to help, then don't, there's no need to say such nonsense to escape your suspicion."

If the word "suspicion", for ordinary people, is just the meaning in the textbook, it does not have much meaning at first, but for Ashley, this word "suspicion", feels fear and a bad feeling.

Her face, to the naked eye, looks pale, takes a deep breath, then looks at Giselle, even her voice is hoarse, also has a bit of sharpness, but her voice is still so hoarse, even when sharp, it only makes others feel strangely uneasy.

'Suspicion? Giselle." Ashley was angry now and pressed close to Giselle. "Do you know what the word 'suspicion' means?

Suspicion?

Suspicion of what?

What suspicion do I need to remove?

Did I harm you?

Did I report you?

Giselle, don't you feel ashamed?

You harm others, and your true identity is exposed, and the company investigates you, and you turn around and say that I didn't help you. Giselle, in the end, who gave you such courage?

Who gave you the right to be so arrogant?"

"You..." Giselle was stunned, every word Ashley said made her take a step back, Ashley took a step forward, and Giselle took a step back, how could the Ashley in front of her be different from the Ashley before?

"Ashley! I know! I know! You're pretending! Your pitiful appearance is all pretend.

There are no men here, no Elliot, no boss, and I was also kicked out of the Paradise Club. Do you think that from now on, you don't need to pretend to be pitiful in front of me anymore, because no one can expose your true face anymore?"

Ashley stopped, looking at the girl standing in front of her... no, she was still a little girl, looking at her for a long time, suddenly, she burst out laughing, completely different from the last time's chuckle, this time, she laughed loudly, that sound, so unpleasant that Giselle had to cover her ears.

"What's so funny? I saw through everything, right?"

Ashley glared at Giselle, shook her head, and slowly said each word: 'I want to rest, you should go."

'You chased me away? Don't even dream about it. You made my throat like this, the doctor said, it will take a long time to recover, and even if it recovers, it won't be the same as before. Now you want to chase me away?"

Hearing Giselle mention her throat again, Ashley suddenly felt her throat was a little sour… she used to have a healthy throat, 'There are things that have no reason, no explanation. Your throat is only temporarily damaged, you should feel lucky, because the damage is not permanent."

She finished speaking a little vaguely, not giving Giselle another chance, and asked again: 'Are you not going?"

'Don't think you can chase me away."

Ashley nodded, picked up the phone, and called Meadow: 'Meadow, I want you to help me tell the boss, say that I want to take back the original plea that I made on behalf of Giselle to beg the boss to give her a way to live, for this, I am willing to give up any amount of money."

Hearing this, Giselle's face turned pale, 'Ashley, don't." Ashley's phone still hadn't hung up, she looked at Giselle, then said to Meadow: "Meadow, wait a minute."

Only then did she turn back to look at Giselle, slowly saying: "Do you understand what I just said now?"

Giselle's face was pale, anxiously looking at the phone in Ashley's hand, although there was still a bit of unwillingness in her eyes, she still nodded.

Ashley spoke into the phone again: "Meadow, I'm very sorry, I haven't thought about what I just said, don't tell the boss for now."

Ashley spoke very slowly, but Giselle had no chance to interrupt. Ashley's speaking speed was not fast, but she didn't let others interrupt: "Giselle, you and I are just colleagues and roommates, I don't owe you anything. Have you ever thought about this? From beginning to end, I don't owe you anything.

Whether I want to help you or not, depends on my willingness."

Giselle suddenly fell silent. She felt a little uncomfortable, but there was no way to refute Ashley.

She said again: "From the beginning to the end, I don't owe you anything. How do you think I want to beg on your behalf?"

The Ashley of the past, in Giselle's eyes, was a weak person, a confused person, but that confused person was never confused, and the weak person was never weak.

Giselle was the one who had opinions about Ashley first, and then because of Elliot, she became even more jealous of Ashley. If Ashley changed into Meadow, becoming an outstanding woman, then Giselle's jealousy would turn into admiration.

Admiration and jealousy, there is always a difference.
