When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 171

In the end, Elyse could not suppress her curiosity and headed to the place Toby gave her the

address to.

It was not a place they usually gathered at. Instead, it was a club she had never been to before.

Even with his instructions, it still took her some effort to find the correct room.

When Elyse walked in, Leo was nowhere to be found.

In fact, the only person she knew in the room was Ashton.

There were also a few other men.

”

The most eye-catching of the group was a middle-aged man who looked very similar to Ashton.

She had only just entered the room when she saw the man kick Ashton in the abdomen.

The blow had Ashton bending over before collapsing.

With a bang, he crashed to the ground.

The sight frightened Elyse, causing her face to go pale as she swiftly slapped her hands over her mouth.

Her feet were locked in place.

For long moments, Ashton was just lying there on the floor.

The middle-aged man’s voice boomed through the room. “Starlight Media has sent a lawyer’s letter, declaring their intent to sue you! Tell me who told you to do it, or you will be imprisoned!”

Beside the man stood a woman, her face a mask of shock.

When she saw Ashton on the ground, she let out a screech. Her hands snapped out as if to help him up, but she did not dare to do so.

Instead, she looked down at him with a sad look on her face. “Ash, please. As your mother, I’m begging you. Tell the truth. If this goes on, your father will kill you.”

It was now that Elyse recognized them.

The man was Ashton’s father.

Now that she knew who they were, she allowed shock and terror to show on her face.

She had not expected the couple to get wind of this.

More specifically, she did not expect Thomas Lowe, Ashton’s father, to be here. He had always been a man who was busy with major business. He was always coming and going without anyone

knowing.

Ashton crawled up from the ground as pain simmered in his eyes.
