"Excuse me, Miss Schmidt. I need to take this phone call," Radley said while clutching the phone.Rose smiled and nodded in response. The moment Radley answered the call, the expression on his face changed drastically. He shot out of his seat immediately while exclaiming, "What did you say? Asher has beaten up my father? I'll go home right now!"Rose could not help but frown upon hearing Radley's exclamation. What the hell is wrong with Asher? He actually went to the Leonard manor at this time of the night just to cause them trouble! Is it because of Radley's decision to purchase Yonder Steel? she thought.The more Rose thought about it, the more she was confident that the possibility was high. Noelle was so close to purchasing Yonder Steel from the start, but Radley had successfully snatched that company away from her at the last minute. Furthermore, Asher was the type to defend the woman he loved without caring about the consequences. A prime example would be him ru

It was at that moment when Asher realized that he had fallen into another one of Phoebe's devious traps."Noelle, wait up! I can explain everything!" Asher ran out and stopped Noelle in her tracks.Aggrievance flooded the latter's heart at that time. She had already recognized her own mistakes and planned to apologize to Asher, but she did not expect to witness that scene when she went to look for him."What are you going to explain to me? I've seen everything clearly. Is there even a need to explain?" Noelle's reddened eyes were brimming with tears that threatened to roll down her cheeks."What you see may not be the truth. If you believe me, then we won't be having misunderstandings in the first place," Asher reasoned.However, his words ended up triggering Noelle even more. Tears sprung out of her eyes, and yet she found herself laughing coldly. "Aren't you a funny guy, Asher? Why should I trust you instead of my own eyes? If what happened yesterday was a

Asher went to Phoebe's restaurant in the afternoon. He knew that she got injured on purpose just to make him feel guilty, but the fact that she did get injured still stood. Furthermore, she got injured because she tried to save him, so he could only conceal the irritation he felt for her.There was a saying that if one hurt their tendons and veins, they had to rest for a hundred days. Phoebe could not recover within a span of a few days. She needed a long time to rest.It was only at nightfall when Asher finally left the restaurant.The next morning, Asher was about to go to the bus station when he received a call from Hunter. "Mr. Crawford, have you left yet? It's too inconvenient for you to take the bus. I've prepared a car for you. You can drive it."Asher did not expect that Hunter had such a thoughtful side to him. It was true that taking the bus was very troublesome, so he did not hesitate to accept.Hunter had prepared an Audi A6. He passed the car ke

"Layla, I heard that you went to Rollinsford some time ago. Did you meet up with Asher?" A trace of longing flashed past Marguerite's eyes the moment she mentioned her son's name. She had not seen him over the past two years, so she had no idea how his life had been so far."He's doing very well, Aunt Marguerite. Please don't worry about him," Layla said with a smile. "Since tomorrow's your birthday, I've prepared a jade pendant for you. I hope you'll like it."While she spoke, she pulled out an intricate box from her bag. An emerald jade pendant sat quietly within the box. It had a smooth and cool surface, its material crystal clear. At first glance, it was evident that the pendant was worth a lot of money."Layla, why did you prepare such an expensive gift for me? I don't want to accept it. Please get a refund. My birthday isn't an important day, so don't waste so much money on me." Marguerite turned down the gift with a frown."Aunt Marguerite, this is where y

At that moment, Layla, who had remained silent throughout the exchange earlier, decided to pitch in her two cents. "The main reason is because Savannah is quite close with Rose, who's considered special among her peers in the circle. After all, the phrase 'Male: Sebastian, Female: Rose' isn't just a saying in this city. Now that Savannah has Rose backing her up, it's natural for her to act so arrogantly."Griffin replied nonchalantly, "Rose is nothing more than an ordinary woman to me. Boss made her taste defeat in Rollinsford, didn't he? All in all, Boss is the only person who can impress me the most. Hehe!"Layla continued, "The reason why Rose lost in Rollinsford is due to her bad timing. It has nothing to do with her capabilities.""Is that so?" Layla replied with a deadpan look. "I'm just talking about the facts. I can't bring myself to sugarcoat the truth for you."Griffin wanted to rebuke, but Asher just waved him away with a smile. "Fatty, let's just drin
