A Love Trap

"Mr. Cheng, you wouldn't be partial to Ashley just because you are her cousin, would you? You were also the one who brought her in, correct?"

Sylvia said these words to tell everyone the secret! The words that fell from her mouth can't be taken back. It was meant to tarnish Ashley's reputation and end her there.

'It was Mr. Johnny Cheng, who brought her in!

Who was Johnny? He was the outstanding assistant of Andrew!

He must have played his cards well to get the position for Ashley!' thought by everyone on the room.

Amaia, who stood next to Ashley, was enraged about what Sylvia said. 'How dare she say that! She was the one who got herself in through the back door!

No one would do such a thing except for her!'

Ashley caught hold of Amaia as she was about to rise from her seat and whispered to her ear," Keep calm. Let her speak."

Johnny felt apprehensive after he heard Sylvia's words. His palm started sweating in panic.

'Damn it!

It's okay if you wanted to die, but leave me alone, OK? Don't drag me into it!'

Johnny looked at Andrew cautiously. When he thought about the relationship between Miss Mu and his boss, wasn't that indirectly indicating he's cousins with him as well?

'Being the boss's cousin?' Johnny shivered with fear just thinking about it. 'It's impossible!'

Andrew sat still with a blank expression. No one knew what he thought, which only served to frighten Johnny even more.

'Boss is more terrifying this way.' Beads of sweat started to form on Johnny's forehead as his mind scrambled for a way to answer Sylvia.
