A Love Trap

"Actually, I don't know how I got this jade pendant. But I remember that I used to wear it around my neck when I was younger.

And I always knew that this jade pendant was very important to me!

When I was a child, Lena saw me wearing it and wanted to grab it. After fighting with her, I finally got it back. Since then, I never risked wearing it again, instead I kept it in the box, well hidden," Ashley said in a broken voice as she stroked the pendant while she reminisced about her childhood days.

She didn't know how she got the jade pendant. But she had been wearing it around her neck since she was a child. It meant a lot to her.

"You were adopted by the Mu family when you were five years old. Think about it. Could this pendant have been given to you by your real family?" Ellie asked.

"I don't know. I was seriously ill when I was five years old. When I recovered from the illness, I lost all of my memory from the past. And even if I hadn't lost my memory, I don't think I would have remembered anything because I was only a small child and it was such a long time ago," Ashley said helplessly.

"It seems that you may have been born in a rich family!" Ellie suddenly looked at Ashley and said with excitement.

Ashley was taken aback by her words. But a few seconds later, she rolled her eyes and smiled. "It's impossible."

"Why do you think it's impossible? Just look at this jade pendant! Even Lena wouldn't be able to afford such a beautiful and expensive pendant!" Ellie couldn't help raising her voice out of excitement.

"Since this pendant is so important to you, you should wear it all the time. Otherwise, what if you lose it?

You may not be so lucky to find it again.

When you were a child, it was difficult for you to protect it and anyone could have taken it from you. But now, you have grown up and you can look after it. I really think you should wear it. If you ever come across your real family and they see the jade pendant, they may recognize it and know that you are their daughter."

"I guess that sounds reasonable enough." Ashley nodded in agreement.
