Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 52: Unexpected Person By My Side

I shook my head. He was really good at coming up with excuses, ones that people would believe. "I am-"

"Ash Cassius Coleman," my mom interrupted his introduction. "You don't need to introduce yourself."

Ash smiled awkwardly before scratching the back of his neck. His mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something but couldn't find the courage.

"I know you don't know me, but I used to work for your family," my mom said firmly, shocking me. "Honestly, I don't ever want to see any of you again, but here you are."

I know that my mom didn't like Ash in the first place, but I wasn't expecting her to be this rude. She wasn't like this with Mason, so why was she so harsh with Ash now? More questions filled my mind, making everything even weirder.

"You handled my case, helped with my daughter's incident, and even paid our hospital bills," my mom continued, making me shocked, and Ash, too.

He was probably shocked that she knew, but I was surprised because I didn't know Ash had already paid for the bills.

"I don't want my daughter to owe anything to your family, so I'll pay it back however I can," my mom said in a cold, harsh tone. "Your family is worthless, and so are men like you. Stay away from my daughter." "Mom-"

"Shut up, Sapphire. You're not a part of the conversation," she said, glaring at me.

I saw a hint of pain in Ash's eyes. He wasn't used to being treated this way, but even so, he didn't argue with my mom. He didn't show any anger-no clenched jaw or fists.

At that moment, I felt guilty. Had I misjudged him?

"Ash-"

"I'll be going now." Ash bowed before smiling. "I'm hoping for your fast recovery."

Those were his last words, and then the soft sound of the door closing echoed in the room.

"Jade," my mom called authoritatively as I stared at the door.
