It turned out that Ashley wasn't looking for a cherished album of Morgan but for a group chat with her close friends.

There was a huge sticker in the group.

It was a photo of Morgan at an awards ceremony with the words "I refuse to smile again" written on it.

Morgan stiffened because she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Ashley realized what she had done when she noticed Morgan's strange expression. Then, she hurriedly placed her phone behind her.

Her eyes lit up after a moment of thought. "Oh, right, I came across you on Twitter. It was about—"

"Alright, that's enough." Morgan raised her hand to signal Ashley to shut up.

The former had a hunch that whatever the latter came across wasn't anything good.

Morgan sighed and said, "Google me. I'm an artist under Starlight Entertainment."

However, Ashley shook her head. "Since you're a celebrity, you wouldn't help her deceive people. I trust you guys."

Celia and Morgan exchanged glances and let out a sigh.

He turned to look at Celia and said, "Willow is just a pawn of Noah."Willow's behavior at his grandfather's birthday party had a significant impact on the Xanders family, and her reputation had been ruined.Yardley might not have had a lot of interactions with Noah. But based on the information he had gathered privately, he knew that Noah wasn't as insane as he appeared on the surface. Noah was skilled at weighing the pros and cons in some cases, so he couldn't possibly work with a pawn that had already lost its value.Perhaps Willow was just an appetizer, and the main course was yet to be served.However, based on the current situation, Yardley could tell that Noah wasn't paying close attention to them because he was about to return to th

However, Ashley just blinked and continued to stare at Jules in disbelief.Jules looked at Celia with a puzzled expression, only to see her eyes crinkle.Hence, he crossed his arms, leaned forward slightly, and closed the distance between himself and Ashley.

Ashley is one of the most talented people I've seen."Jules was surprised by Celia's words. "One of the most talented? I never expected to hear something like that coming from you.""Come over here," Jules said as he beckoned toward Ashley. Ashley suddenly felt lost. She instinctively looked at Celia, who patted her on the back to comfort her. "Just try to sing without any music for now. Sing that original song of yours.""About that … I actually have the music for it on my phone. I recorded it before," Ashley said after giving it some thought. "That's even better."

    These comments served as the encouragement and courage Ashley needed to get back on her feet. After she parted ways with Celia, Ashley started to immerse herself in training. She started to be stricter with herself. After a few days of training, the company decided to sign with Ashley. She displayed tremendous talent for music. She would understand something and be able to apply it to herself every time Jules taught her something. The training was tough, but it was effective."Alright. Sing it one more time for me."Jules crossed his arms and adjusted his glasses as he looked at Ashley. After a few days of training, Ashley had already overcome the issues she had. She adjusted her emotions and opened her mouth to sing the song she had practiced no less than a hundred times. After she finished singing the song, everything and everyone fell silent.

There's no need to bring anything with you," said Lillian as she hurriedly walked out to greet Willow. Willow took her arm as they entered the house. They looked at each other very closely. "Haven't you been saying that you have no appetite these days?

    At that moment, Lillian walked out of the office."Why are you here? I heard everything. How rude of you to come here and start an argument with Yardley's secretary!" Lillian had no intentions of being polite to Celia. She only glanced at Celia before looking away."I'm sorry, Madam Lillian. It was my fault," the secretary quickly apologized to Lillian, but her eyes were filled with disdain for Celia."I wanted to go in and get my contract, but she stopped me."Celia suppressed her inner dissatisfaction and looked at the women before her, feeling extremely annoyed. However, what puzzled her was why Yardley had not come out of his office."Are you deaf? Yardley has rejected your investment proposal, yet you're still around. Aren't you going against him right now?" scolded Lillian as she glared fiercely at Celia and gripped Willow's arm.Celia forced a bitter smile, momentarily unsure of what to say."Can't you learn from Willow?

    In fact, Yardley didn't tell anyone. … Meanwhile, Morgan stumbled upon a surprising find. She discovered two healthy, month-old babies at the orphanage. "Director, is it true that no one wants such young babies?" Morgan felt a bit emotional. How could people be so heartless as to abandon their own babies? The director of the orphanage let out a deep sigh. "You don't know the whole story. Our janitor found these babies at the orphanage's entrance. Someone left them there and disappeared. "We've been taking care of them for about half a month now, and their condition has improved significantly."

    "Let's go, Celia. We shouldn't disturb the twins' rest," said Yardley as he supported Celia and got ready to leave. Celia waved her hand and stood in front of the incubator.

She resolved to take her children home safely. Celia lingered for a while before finally leaving the hospital.

    "Don't worry. She's fine. She's just a bit weak at the moment."Remembering Yardley's words outside the ward, the doctor felt a wave of nervousness. He could tell that Yardley and Celia weren't ordinary people judging by their attire. They were certainly not ones to be trifled with."Did you say that we had twins?"

It was like a significant weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "What do you mean?" Richard panicked. Just when their relationship had slightly improved, the situation took a turn for the worse again."We're breaking up for good!"Morgan left after saying that.
