Chapter 130
When Ashley heard Berthaâs name, she paused slightly. A sense of fierce could be witnessed from her eyes, but it soon faded, and she returned to
calm.
âI wonât meet her. Tell the receptionist to kick her out.â
Ashley replied calmly.
Laura naturally understood Ashleyâs attitude toward Bertha and conveyed Ashleyâs words to the receptionist.
In the lobby on the first floor, Berthaâs red l*ps slightly widened after hearing the receptionistâs words, unable to accept them.
She didnât expect Ashley to refuse to meet her.
As Ashleyâs mother and family, she took the initiative to look for Ashley, but Ashley refused to meet her.
Bertha immediately got furious and looked gloomy. She gritted her teeth. and walked out of Royal Entertainment in high heels.
Bertha didnât go far when she noticed a supermarket nearby. She happened to have her ID with her, so she went to the supermarket to get a new SIM card.
Then, Bertha called Ashley with this new number.
Ashley soon answered the phone with a polite and distant tone. âMay I ask who is calling?â
Bertha suppressed her anger and shouted in a low voice, âHow dare you refuse to meet me, Ashley?â
Before she finished speaking, Ashley hung up the phone directly.
Bertha froze for a while and took the phone off her ear in disbelief. When she found the hung-up call, she lost her temper, and even her face
twisted.
Bertha didnât give up and called Ashley with this new number again.
But she found Ashley had blocked the new number the next moment.
She even couldnât believe it.
Chapter 130
Bertha couldnât catch her breath and almost fainted. She felt a choking sensation in her chest and threw the phone back into her bag with a sullen expression.
Bertha felt angry and also felt inexplicably distressed.
She wondered why her relationship with Ashley fell into distance.
Bertha held her handbag and looked up at Royal Entertainment. She hesitated for a while before deciding to wait for Ashley here.
She didnât think Ashley could stay in the company forever.
As long as Ashley came out of the company, she could meet her.

In Lauraâs office, she glanced at Ashley on the couch and felt relieved when she found Ashley looked normal and didnât be affected by Bertha.
In Lauraâs view, Bertha didnât deserve to be Ashleyâs mother.
At this time, the office door was pushed open.
Joseph ran in with high spirits. âThank you very much this time, Ashley. I dealt with Sean under your support.â
Joseph found Laura here, so he hid the real relationship between him and Ashley.
Ashley raised her eyebrows and grinned brightly, which looked energetic. âHas the contract with Sean been signed?â
Joseph made a gesture and replied, âYep! We had already signed the contract. I wonât fear Frankie will get in the Thank you for your support, Ashley. Youâre awesome.
way anymore.
After Joseph finished speaking, Jaden walked in and patted Joseph on the shoulder. âArenât you forgetting something?â
Jaden didnât belong to Royal Entertainment, and he just followed Ashley to visit the company.
Joseph rolled his eyes speechlessly. âWhat does it have to do with you? What are you asking for?â
Jaden sighed, âAs the boss of Glory Youveile, I give away Dimi for free. Shouldnât you express your gratitude toward me?â

Joseph sneered and deliberately joked with him. âI wonât satisfy you. What can you do with me?â
Jaden seemed leisurely, looked at Ashley on the couch, and asked with a smile, âDid he ignore my efforts on purpose, darling?â
Before Ashley could speak, Joseph, who always doted on Ashley, frowned. He found the appellation too intimate.
Joseph narrowed his eyes slightly and warned with a sullen expression, âDonât treat Joseph flightily, Jaden.â
Jaden was not annoyed either. He grinned meaningfully and replied,
âDonât forget what Iâve done for you, Joseph.â
Joseph choked on his words.
He had never met such a disgusting one before.
Ashley helplessly held her forehead and completely ignored them.
In the afternoon, Bryce came to Laura for business.
When Bryce noticed Ashley sitting on the couch, he raised his eyebrows. and greeted them with his flamboyant silver hair. âLong time no see.â
Ashley raised her head and looked at him. âLong time no see.â
Bryce looked around the office. In addition to Ashley and Laura, he found Joseph and Jaden, who had blue eyes.
Bryce recognized Jaden, the boss of Glory Youveile and Ashleyâs friend.
âCome here, Bryce.â
Laura had Bryce sit down on the chair before the desk and chat with him about his work.
Bryce had a commercial shoot and a live broadcast tonight. After talking to Laura, he immediately left with a full schedule.
When Bryce walked out of the door, he turned back and looked at Ashley on the couch.
The warm sunshine streaming in through the window. It shone on Ashley and made her look extremely noble. Her l*ps were bright red, like a beautiful rose.
Bryce couldnât help but stare at her for a while and ask curiously, âCan
Chapter 130
you design clothes, Ashley?â
Hearing this, Ashley raised her head and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Bryce smiled and showed a sense of arrogance. âDesign one for me whe youâre free. Iâll pay you three times the price.â
Ashley intended to refuse and told him she didnât design menswear, but she suddenly thought of the shirt she had designed for Valentin on hist birthday.
That was her first and only time designing menswear.
The shirt fit Valentin well.
It seemed that she was very talented in designing menswear.
But she wouldnât design it for anyone else again.
Ashley looked at Bryce, and her eyelashes quivered gently. She smiled and refused simply. âI wonât design for you. Iâm busy.â
Bryce seemed a little disappointed. He looked at Ashley for a while, waved his hand, and left.
In the evening, Ashley checked the time and found it was time to go. home. She stood up and bid farewells to Laura.
When Ashley, Joseph, and Jaden had just walked out of the company, a figure suddenly rushed over and stopped before her.
Ashley was startled for a moment. When she recognized Bertha before. her, she frowned slightly. She didnât expect Bertha to be there.
She suspected that Bertha had been waiting since the afternoon.
Jaden didnât know Bertha, but Joseph did.
Bertha once accused Ashley of pushing her down, which caused Ashley to be abused by the netizens. But fortunately, the truth was revealed later.
Joseph hated the vicious Bertha very much.
âWhat will you try to slander about Ashley by coming to her company, Mrs. Ramos?â
Joseph smiled indifferently and deliberately asked such a strange
question.
Chapter 130
Berthaâs face turned pale, and she felt awkward.
However, she didnât regret having slandered Ashley. She regretted that her accusation had been overturned, causing Frankie to go to jail.
Bertha still felt resented when she thought of Frankieâs imprisonment, but she had another purpose in coming to Ashley this time. She suppressed her anger and said, âI want to talk to you, Ashley.â
Hearing this, Ashley was a little startled.
It had been a long time since she had heard Bertha call her so intimately.
