A Love Trap

After dinner, Ashley received a call from the Mu family and she was asked to come over to the family house tomorrow.

Ashley had moved out of the family house when she started college. She only ever came back when something happened in the family.

She smiled coldly when she spoke on the phone. She was shocked that Peggy had the nerve to call her after what she had done to her and acted like nothing had happened.

"Ashley, did you hear me? Come to the family house tomorrow. Answer me!" Peggy shouted angrily on the other end of the line because she had no response from Ashley, even though she had been talking for quite a while.

Peggy thought Ashley was so defiant.

She had planned to give Ashley to Michael Du as a gift earlier. But she didn't expect that Ashley would run away. As a result, they had lost a lucrative business deal. Peggy decided to teach Ashley a lesson when she came back home.

"Yes, I heard you," Ashley replied indifferently.

Ashley's reaction irritated Peggy and so she cursed her on the phone before she finally hung up on her.

When Ellie saw Ashley hang up the phone she gave her a worried look. "What's the matter? Why do they want you to come back home?"

Ellie had reason to worry. Every time her family called her to visit, there was always some sort of trouble for Ashley, afterward.

"Nothing serious. They just want me to visit. That's all," Ashley reassured her because she could see the worried expression on her face.

At least she was not alone with Ellie by her side.
