View More“Hello.”Ashley’s cold voice made Jaxon pause for a split second. He frowned. A trace of displeasure flickered in him and he did not know why.“Where are you?”“I did not know that I have to give my itinerary to Mr. Elijah. You didn’t give me one before.” Sarcasm dripped in Ashley’s voice…then her next words were laced with impatience. “So, why did you call me?”Jaxon had the illusion that their roles were now reversed! His face dimmed immediately as his grip on his tightened, not liking this feeling of being uncontrolled.“The lawyer is drafting the divorce letter. About the alimony, my offer still stands—a real estate in your name and a hundred million dolla---.”Ashley cut him off midway. “If you want to discuss about the divorce, call my lawyer. If nothing else, I will have to continue filming.”Before Ashley could hang up, Jaxon immediately stated his reason why he called. “I want to remind you of my old man’s birthday. Don’t miss it.”Ashley, on the other side of the line, was n
Dylan and Ashley arrived at the filming set located at the suburbs of YN City.The crew specially chartered a bus for them to go there together while the nanny vans of the celebrities were driven by their respective assistants or managers also known as agents.Inside an ordinary-looking white nanny van, Dylan drove while Ashley checked her things like makeup and cosmetics. She made sure to take off its labels since she did not endorse them in the first place. From time to time, Dylan would remind Ashley to continue her calm attitude.“You told me that countless of times already.” Ashley deadpanned. She glanced at the screen of her phone, still waiting for the progress bar of the download to be completed.Dylan could only bite his tongue. He was afraid that too much nagging would make Ashley rebel. Her current state was Dylan’s ideal especially how special this production for Ashley and his career as a manager!“Have you read the script?”“Done.”“Then… what do you think about Cecilia?
While waiting for Scottie in her car, Ashley took this chance to open the file Allen had sent.First, Allen Jewelry would become Rosemary Jewelry. Second, she viewed the designs created by Allen’s team for the jewelry they would launch on their opening date. Third, Ashley set the date of their opening on the date after her filming which was set two months later.This would give Allen enough time to renovate the entire jewelry store. Since Ashley bought Allen Jewelry, Allen would be changed from the owner to a manager. He would still maintain his previous work, but he would only receive a salary plus commission.Ashley planned to give Allen a share of the profit after Allen could prove to her that he could be trusted. But now, Ashley needed him to supervise the renovation of Rosemary Jewelry Store in YN City. From mid-class to high-class, Ashley was now aiming for the market share of the higher echelons of the Jewelry Industry.The bustling across the street woke Ashley from her deep t
"The jade stone has many characteristics. We can judge the internal condition of the jade stone according to these characteristics. Because from the perspective of petrology, the jade inside the jade stone has a certain correlation with the color of the outer skin. The characteristics of "songhua", "strap" and "skull" are important features for distinguishing the internal conditions of the jade stone."Teresa came prepared equipped with very professional—an attitude to teach Ashley knowledge, but the look of smug and disdain in her eyes sold out her intentions.Teresa was playing the knowledge of Ashley to show off his knowledge and satirize Ashley's ignorance.Teresa continued with an attitude of a Holy Mother who took pity on an ignorant woman—Ashley. “I’m looking at Miss’ wool and there’s no sling, no loose flowers, no shackles, I’m afraid. It won't be green."Because Teresa really made a lot of professional remarks, she was immediately appreciated by many people around her."I don
"Well, the little girl is good." Teddy praised, and immediately asked: "Do you want a check or transfer?""Transfer.” Ashley said. She took her specially opened bank card out which she created solely for this trip.“Alright.” Teddy immediately called to transfer money.In a few minutes, Ashley received a text message in her newly registered sim card. The 30 million already arrived and Ashley gave the jade to Teddy."This lady, do you still need to continue to solve the other wools?" asked Birk.Ashley nodded. She placed the wool next to the stone cutter master.Teddy, who got the multicolored jade, was ready to leave. But once he heard that Ashley still had a wool to be cut open, he stopped and watched.Because Ashley solved a piece of high-class jade, everyone was excited about the next stone.Although they all felt that Ashley could not have such good luck the second time around, they watched a new round of cutting. They couldn’t help but feel excited.It took more time to rub the s
The wool was sold according to the so-called quality from its pattern deemed lucky by the so-called experts and these were sold according to grams.The wool material was not expensive, but it was judged from a professional point of view.According to the experts, if the outer skin was good and the green rate was high, it would be marked as more expensive than ordinary wool.Of course, these so-called words of experts were still about gambling. Whether a person would take his chances or not depended on individuals.After all, no normal person could truly predict what was inside the jade stone (wool), and no one knows if there was green in the wool.Therefore, even if the experts’ evaluation was low or considered as waste, there was a high green probability.After all, these were all looking at luck.Because there are quite a few people in the store, no one was entertaining the newly arrived potential customers, but it was good.Ashley really did not like someone in the ear to chatter.
Ashley left the Elijah mansion with a heavy heart. She did not leave until the doors closed, separating her and her son for a few weeks. She was not used to the sudden silence.The moment she turned around, Ashley stood face to face with the man whom she was once obsessed with. But unlike before, there were no more fluctuations in her heart. Instead, she was looking at Jaxon Elijah with the feeling of a rival.“I will take Scottie again after my taping.”Ashley’s voice was not cold, but rather alienated. It was like talking to someone whom she did not care about which astounded both Harold and Jaxon.Not waiting for his reply, Ashley walked past Jaxon and Harold. This time, Jaxon’s brows were no longer indifferent as he sneered. He looked back at Ashley’s retreating figure.Countless thoughts flashed in Jaxon’s mind as he stared at her resolute back. Unlike before, Ashley Connor did not wear those vulgar and revealing dresses he disdained the most. Ever since she mentioned the divorce
The apartment Ashley owned was 300 sq. meters located at fifth floor at the center of the metropolis and surrounded by special economic zones. This was in her name and was given by the grandfather of Jaxon Elijah.In the past life, Ashley barely used this place. After all, most of her life was focused on Jaxon Elijah.But this time, Ashley came prepared. She already contacted a cleaning company before she brought Scottie here. So the moment she opened the door, she was not welcomed by a layer of dust. Instead, the place was spotless clean.“Mommy! Can I sleep with you?” Scottie bounced around. His clever eyes shone brilliantly when he saw a picture frame of him and his mother. This was recently a photo taken by his mother. He was so happy! His mother loved him!Ashley’s gaze towards her son was filled with nothing but tender love which hid the guilt and self-loathing. She would not let her mistakes tarnish the brilliance of her son—never again!“Of course! Scottie will always have a s
It could be seen from Ashley’s meager amount of dresses in her wardrobe how the steward of the Elijah Family was indifferent to her. Before, Ashley did not mind this. In fact, her fucking love brain believed that being thrifty could make Jaxon see her in a different light.What a joke!In her years of marriage, not once did Jaxon give her a single present! Aside from the black card that he threw to her, nothing else was given!Now, with a divorce waiting for her, it would be cheap for that bitch to have everything while she got nothing! First, she would fill up her wardrobe with elegant and high-end dresses!A beautiful girl welcomed Ashley as soon as she entered LV’s store. The other sales lady looked her up and down. Seeing how she was wearing a simple skirt and ruffled crop top without any pieces of jewelry adorned around her neck, the sales lady scoffed and turned away.Ashley ignored her. With years of being the Madam Elijah, her vulgar bones had long been washed away. To keep up
Staggering, Ashley barged into the hospital’s morgue.Not minding the numbing cold, with her bare feet, Ashley raced to the place she loathed the most. Never in her forty years of existence did she expect that she would be coming to this place for her beloved son.Her knees wobbled and her shaky breath stopped when she saw the only body covered in a white blanket. Blood was smeared at the other end of the mantle where a head was being covered.In a blink of an eye, Ashley hovered over the table where the corpse was laid. With trembling hands, Ashley mastered the courage to confirm her doubts.After all, she just called her son a few hours ago. He told her he was fine! Her darling child assured her, even joked at her, as he whined at her to prepare the apple pie he always loved to eat in secret – their little connection in that desolate house of glory and splendor.The moment she lifted the blanket, the disfigured face of her son welcomed Ashley.A cry escaped from her raspy throat as ...
