Chapter 636

However, she was a righteous person, at least to Naomi.

Jonathan was signed to Nolan Entertainment. As a rule of thumb, the Nolan Group usually gave its artists room for artistic development. The group also tended to shower its artists with resources and opportunities.

However, it wasn’t a company that let its artists run amok at debauched parties.

Jonathan had been exposed to plenty of nasty rumors among his circles. He’d heard whispers of executives preying on trainees and newcomers.

However, Ashlyn did not radiate any of those perverse desires.

On the contrary, she was very open.

Therefore, Jonathan was shy whenever he found himself in front of her.

If the gossip on Twitter was to be believed, she was currently dating Lucas. Jonathan wasn’t opposed to the idea of her as a sister-in-law.

Though, he wanted to know why she was giving him so many resources. Is it just because I’m close with Lucas?

“Jonathan, give yourself some credit. You’re a top-tier idol. I hired you to make a movie for money. Of course, I’m taking into account your popularity and fan base.”

Just as Jonathan found himself awash in a deluge of doubt, Ashlyn’s clear voice snapped him out of it.

Jonathan frowned. “Really?”

He couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off.

His gut told him that things weren’t that simple.

“What other reason is there?” A faint sneer briefly flitted across Ashlyn’s lips. “Or do you think I have some perverted intentions toward you?”

She tutted. “Let me assure you, Lucas looks better than you. He’s not as… flabby around the waist.”

Ashlyn gently patted Jonathan’s skinny chest. In a mocking tone, she said, “If you work out more, then maybe we’ll talk.”

She had wiped away Jonathan’s previous impression of her.

He stuttered, “You! You!”

“What are you blubbering about? Don’t you dare try to hit on Ashlyn. She’s my sister-in-law! She’ll never be yours, so give up on your stupid ideas.” Just as Naomi and the police officers stepped into the hotel lobby, they saw Jonathan and Ashlyn in deep conversation. She had no idea what they were talking about.

It seemed like Jonathan was trying to smooch up Ashlyn.

So, Naomi was anxious. What a drag! Tinsor’s trying to drag Ashlyn into the Jaquin family, and now I have to put up with this squirt, Jonathan. Both of them are equally detestable!

She hated anybody who tried to pry her beloved Ashlyn away from her.

“Your Ashlyn?” Jonathan could scarcely believe his ears. “She’s your sister-in-law?”

“That’s right! She’s my sister-in-law!” shouted Naomi.

Well, well. Isn’t Ashlyn going to be Mrs. Nolan then? Jonathan didn’t believe Naomi at all, but he had more pressing matters to deal with at the moment.

He looked Naomi up and down and wondered why she was wearing a mask. “You’re not hurt are you?

Did those thumbtacks and blade hurt you?”

There was concern in his voice.

Shaking her head, Naomi said, “No.”

“That’s good. Isaac wants to talk to you, so hurry on up!”

“Okay sure.” Naomi turned to Ashlyn and said, “I’ll go upstairs first.”

“All right,” said Ashlyn. Her gaze followed the two as they stepped into the elevator.

Her stomach grumbled angrily. It was getting late.

Anderson and Harrison beckoned her over. “Come on! Let’s get supper together.”

Twenty minutes later, a Land Rover pulled up next to a stall in the night market.

It was getting late, but the market was bustling and full of life as always.

Smoke and the aroma of food filled up the night air.

She could hear the carefree shouting of vendors.

The streets were teeming with students who’d just finished cram school and businessmen who’d just gotten off work.

Ashlyn stepped down from the car. Along with the two brothers, she headed toward a stall.

Out of habit, her feet automatically brought her to a seat against the wall. The two brothers looked around for the vendor to order their food.

“The usual?”

Ashlyn gave a slight nod. “Yes.”
