A Love Trap

"What? The woman in the photo isn't you?" he said abruptly.

Ashley nodded while she gave him a blank look.

Leo just came back from abroad and Peggy was his aunt.

Peggy had promised him earlier that she would introduce him to a beautiful woman. But the one he saw standing before him was far from beautiful. She was even dressed in embarrassingly ugly clothes. Obviously, she had very poor taste in clothing.

Even though Peggy was Leo's aunt, they weren't related by blood. Peggy was an orphan who had been adopted and brought up by Leo's family members.

She didn't have a high status while she lived in the Su family but despite that, the Su family never treated her badly.

However, when Peggy met Spencer and became his wife, she became a noble and wealthy woman. She enjoyed the high status and was envied by many people.

The Su family had always been kind to Peggy and never treated her badly. So when the time came, one of their family members was in need of help, and Peggy stepped in. She didn't forget the Su family and helped Leo have the chance to study abroad and receive his doctor's degree.

When Ashley waltzed into the coffee shop dressed the way she was, everyone gawked at her. However, now that Leo had raised his voice he had become the focus of the people's attention as well as Ashley.

In fact, since Ashley was dressed so badly and Leo was so ugly, they looked like a good match for each other.

Leo began to sulk and pulled a long face.

Peggy assured him that he would be going on a blind date with a very attractive and beautiful woman today and he was really looking forward to it. However, to his surprise, the woman standing before him wasn't pretty nor charming at all.

She reminded him of an unsophisticated and uneducated country bumpkin. The clothes that she was wearing indeed made her look so ugly. And the large pair of black framed glasses that nearly covered her whole face, made her look ridiculous. He wondered if she might be half blind as well as ugly.

Leo was so angry, that he was about to stand up and leave.

However, before he got the chance to, Ashley said, "Hey, are you Mr. Su? Hi. I'm Ashley Mu."
