SWNOVELS Mystey Chapter 282
Chapter 282
Since then. Ashley had been secretly going out with Mike. Even Jack invited her several times. She tried to please the two men so that they would speak well of her in front of Benjamin. The movie's role was about to be decided, so she had little time to take things slowly. To make Mike and Jack more willing to help her, Ashley deliberately knocked over the glass of wine and wet her clothes. When they helped to clean up the mess frantically, she took the opportunity to reveal her ample bosom and alluring figure, which made the men gulp. Then, she kissed their cheeks, appearing uncontrollably emotional and incredibly shy.
Mike and Jack were naturally thrilled by Ashley's gesture. They were on the verge of eagerly pulling her closer to confirm their relationship. They wanted to kiss her back, but she played hard to get and pushed them away.
Ashley hinted she wanted a better role to challenge her limits, which was the supporting role given to a Clusian. Mike and Jack appeared troubled. Although they had yet to sign the contract with her, they could only give her the role if Benjamin, the major financial backer, agreed. They had no authority to make that call. Regarding status and worldwide popularity, Ashley was no match to the Clusian actress they had chosen. Replacing her with Ashley would be impossible.
However, to win her smile, both men said they would try their best to help her fight for the role. Ashley took the opportunity to request a formal meeting with Benjamin, expressing her desire to cam the role through her efforts. Even if she failed this way, she would never regret it. Of course, Mike and jack agreed, as it was more realistic than convincing Benjamin to give Ashley the role. Soon, Benjamin agreed and arranged a meeting the next day
It was already ten o'clock at night when Ashley returned to the Harvey family, humming a triumphant song and reeking of alcohol. She thought, "Almost... It's so close. My chance to be famous in the world is coming! Selina would never play the female lead as long as I can get the supporting role. Then, no one will compete with me for the spotlight"
Ashley
y was confident that no matter who played the female lead, they could never surpass her acting skills, including Selina.
Sometimes, the supporting actress could outshine the lead with the right looks, character, and acting. It was perfect for Selina to play the role so Ashley could overshadow her with her acting skills, proving the was better. This way, everyone's attention would return to her instead of Selina, who was abandoned. Ashley wanted to use the opportunity as a stepping stone to succes
ou been?" Joseph frowned and looked at Ashley. He had a bad feeling.
"Ashley, where have you
Ashley pretended nothing had happened and smiled innocently. "Nothing, Joseph. I just hung out with my friends. You know it. We both passed the auditions for The Game of Virgo, and I'm so happy"
Joseph could not see through Ashley's lies and advised, "Don't stay out so late next time, and don't drink so much. It's dangerous out here. I'm afraid you'll get hurt"
Ashley said, "I got it. Joseph. Thank you. I'm still someone important in your heart".
Ashley suddenly sniffed, and her eyes turned red Joseph stepped forward to pat her cheek. "Silly girl, what are you thinking about now? You're my sister
"Well, I know, Joseph. Honestly, I'm a little scared. I saw your attitude toward Selina changing, and I should be happy about it. I want her to retur to the family, but at the same time, I'm a little selfish and don't want her to take away your, Lloyd's, and Manuel's love for me. Joseph, do you think It is selfish of me to think like this?" Joseph reassured, "Don't think too much, Ashley. Given Selina's current relationship with our family, we can't tolerate a big shot who is so arrogant. like her. How could she possibly come back? We just have to focus on ourselves Ashley agreed. "Yes!"
Joseph pasted Ashley's head, who then went upstairs obediently. He stood still, looking at her back and in a daze when Lloyd came over. "Joseph" "Lloyd, why are you still up?" asked Joseph.
Lloyd stated, "I'm also worried about Ashley. Recently, she left early and came back late. She even drank alcohol. She was n "Lloyd, tell me the truth. Do you know something" questioned Joseph. never like this before"
Seeing Joseph's gaze, Lloyd knew the former had the same thoughts as him. He nodded and said. "I heard Ashley went out with a man this time. They were very careful. I don't know anything else. Could he be her boyfriend? What about Timothy!" Timothy and Ashley were childhood friends. Everyone knew how much he loved her. If it hadn't been for his engagement with Selina, he and Ashley would have settled down long ago.
Now that Timothy had suffered a huge setback in his career and Ashley might have another boyfriend, Joseph and Lloyd wondered how Timothy would feel if he knew about it.
Joseph shook his Iscad and said, "Tin afraid it's not her boyfriend. It must have something to do with the casting of The Game of Virgo, I might be Chapter 252
Benjamin's man"
Lloyd uttered. "Hub' That's fine then."
"Not at all I can tell that they have ill intentions toward Ashley. I hope she didn't lie to me. I told her not to associate with them. Even if she can only act as an extra. Im sure she'll eventually succeed with her talent and effort. There's no need to rush and risk ruining her life," explained Joseph.
Lloyd said. "Don't worry, Joseph. Although Ashley grew up under our protection, she's the young lady of our family. How could she not even notice that? It's not what you think. Joseph. Otherwise, Dad and Mom wouldn't let her join the entertainment industry." Logically, it should be that way," added Joseph. Ashley, I hope you won't let me down! he thought.
When Joseph woke up the next day, he noticed a text message with images on his phone. He clicked on it, and his pupils trembled. It was a picture of Ashley having dinner with Mike and Jack. Another was her accidentally wetting her clothes while both men helped her wipe her soaked clothes, their hands touching her chest.
The person who sent the message said there were more shocking pictures. Joseph hurriedly dialed the number, only to find that the person's phone was turned off. He could only write a message: [What on earth do you want?] There was no response.
oseph immediately walked out of the room and came to Ashley's room. He took a deep breath before knocking on the door. After waiting for a ong time and yet there was no.
o response, he hit the door hard. "Ashley! Open the door! Open the door!"
