Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 564 We Can Help You

Instead of entering the ancestral hall and confronting them directly, Gwendolyn remained standing outside the door and observing the situation.

As Asher had kept his head low, the dim lighting from the candles around him helped obscure the conflicted look in his eyes.

He then placed the pen down, rubbed his aching wrist, and asked without looking up, “Hate her? Why is that?”

“You’re her biological brother and have protected her for so long. No matter what wrong you’ve done, she still shouldn’t take her anger out on you, even though she’s the head of the family now. Have you really never thought of fighting back, Mr. Asher? To snatch back what is rightfully yours?”

Although she was from Ospea, she was able to speak Chanaean fluently after studying in Chanaea for four

years.

Her voice was soft and pleasant on the ears, but Asher simply frowned at her in response as he tilted his head to meet her gaze.

Even so, Annie maintained a sweet and adorable smile on her face, as though she was merely making a friendly suggestion.

Gwendolyn continued to observe them from outside the door.

There was a conflicted look in Asher’s eyes as he stared at her beautiful face for a whole minute.

“Ms. Annie, this is the Harris family’s private affair. Since you are a guest that Gwendolyn invited over, you should know your place and behave like one.

Annie was stunned for a moment, but then she seemed to understand what he was implying. She persisted in trying to goad him into action. “I know an outsider like myself shouldn’t get involved, but I can’t bear to watch her abuse you like this. My boyfriend is a nobleman from Ospea, Mr. Asher. His name is Paul Hall, and Antea Group is one of the biggest companies in the world. We can help you!”

Infuriated, Asher shouted at her, “This is the Harris family’s ancestral hall, Annie! Please leave and never return!”

Displeased with his stubbornness, Annie leaned in close and whispered something into his car.

Asher clenched his fists after hearing what she said.

Amused with his reaction, Annie said with a sweet smile, “I shall wait for the day you regret it, Mr. Asher.”

She then stood up straight, tidied her dress, and shot him a few more glances before turning around.
