A Love Trap

Those people just loved spying on other people's privacy. It was in their nature to start gossip at any place, using any circumstance, about anyone. And it was especially true when it came to those rich men's wives.

A satisfied look appeared on the woman's face as she realized that she became the center of attention. Actually, she just saw the brand by chance and accidentally knew Ashley's dress was from that famous boutique.

"The dress that she is wearing is from The Silver Moon."

As the others heard this, their jaws dropped. Suddenly, they all turned to Ashley in surprise.

The woman didn't need to explain anything, she knew that everyone understood what she was implying.

The Silver Moon was famous in J City, and almost everyone here knew it.

It was just an ordinary dressing shop but it had powerful backing.

Its boss was a daughter of the Feng family. Her designs were simple but very unique, and she had won many famous international dressing design awards.

Because of that, her works had been popular amongst the rich patron of the arts and had been sold like hot cakes in J City.

All of sudden, the way they looked at Ashley totally changed. "The money bag she leans on must be very, very full. If not so, how could she be able to afford anything from The Silver Moon?"

As expected, Lena heard exactly what they were talking about.

With that, she clenched her fists tightly and stared fiercely at Ashley and her dress. It looked 'humble' but it wasn't 'humble' at all.

But after a while, her look of anger suddenly changed into a malicious smile, as if she was planning something.

She has a sugar daddy to lean on and will not thank you for what you have done for her. As ungrateful as she is, your father and mother shouldn't have adopted her." Teresa rolled her eyes.

Johnny, who was standing behind Ashley, took a step forward. His duty was to protect Ashley so he couldn't let her be bullied like this. However, before he could do or say anything, Ashley stopped him in his tracks.

But with a deep breath, she finally was able to blurt out, "Ash, go to talk to mother and father, okay? I know that you're going through something but listen - my parents will understand you.
