Chapter 109

Ashley stared at Joseph’s message. He was panicking about something at first, yet he sent a grinning emoji next, so it was definitely not something

serious.

Ashley typed and replied: [How can you still be laughing if something. has happened? What’s wrong?]

Joseph replied instantly: [Wait for me, I’ll reach the Kingsley Villa soon! Will be there in five minutes!]

Ashley could only stare at her phone, wondering what it might be.

Exactly five minutes later, Joseph came storming in. As soon as hel entered the living room, he asked, “Where is Valentin?”

Ashley was sitting on the sofa while hugging a soft pillow. “He’s in the study working on something urgent. Do you want to see him?”

Joseph waved his hand. “Since he’s busy, I’ll just tell you. There won’t be any difference.”

Ashley pointed to the sofa opposite her. “Sit down

and tell me.”

The servant brought a glass of juice over.

Joseph felt his throat was very dry, so he grabbed the glass of juice and. drank a large gulp. Then he grinned at Ashley and said, “Ashley, did you hang out with Valentin this afternoon?”

Ashley was surprised. “How did you know?”

Joseph put up a mysterious look. “I also know that both of you went to the amusement park. Am I right?”

Ashley found it funny. “We did go to the amusement park to celebrate h birthday and have some fun. But there were too many people in the amusement park, so we didn’t stay for long. How did you know?”

Joseph scooted over and sat next to Ashley before showing her something

Valentin on his phone. “Someone has taken a photo of you and

Valentin at the amusement park and posted it online. Seriously, this is such a nice photo!”

Ashley looked down at the photo.

Judging from the angle of the photo, one could immediately tell that it was secretly taken by a passerby nearby. Under the bright sun, Ashley was wearing a sun hat and a mask while Valentin was standing next to her, his head slightly lowered to listen to her words, exposing his profile directly to the camera.
