Chapter 176 Dropped A Hint
Ashley raised her chin and pointed at Ethan who was drinking alone in the distance. "Ethan has already 'helped' me revenge on
her."
June didn't fully understand. She nodded and asked confusedly, "But you didn't get her wedding invitation. You have already
found helpers to help you show those photos on their wedding, haven't you? "
She smiled evilly and shook her head, "No."
"What?" June picked up a piece of cake and asked. She was suspicious.
Ashley held June's arm and said, "I am looking someone help me."
"You mean me?" Said June, pointing at her nose.
Ashley nodded and said softly and coquettishly, "June, please help me. I can't enter the hall. I'm worried about others. Please
help me."
Since June was a little girl, she was fond of Ashley. As Ashley 'coaxed' her with sweet words, and June's heart was softened
after only a few words. Besides, it didn't take much effort for her to get this thing done. June said, "Okay, although I am reluctant,
I promise to help you."
"Thank you, June." Ashley gave her a passionate kiss. And June dodged. "I still need you to do me another favor. June, Let's
play a play. It will take us two or three minutes to complete it."
Sitting on the sofa alone, Ethan drank sullenly, as no one came up to have a chat with him. The woman he had loved for so
many years even had sex with was married to someone else. It would be fine if that person was good to her, but the problem
was that Francis was obviously not good to her.
At the thought that the girl he cherished had become a treasure in others' hands and had been detested, Ethan felt both jealous
and sad. But he could do nothing but looked at them with empty eyes. If only the bridegroom were him! He would treat Sheila as
the apple of his eye and would never make her unhappy.
"Really? No way!"
A little sound of surprise passed by behind, which attracted Ethan's attention. He did not turn back, but his ears were erected.
"I don't have any evidence, but I'm sure it's not Francis's child." Another voice sounded firm and resolute.
Hearing this, Ethan's eyes suddenly widened and his hand that was holding the glass also stopped.
Then Ashley took June's hand and walked to a corner behind the stairs. Ethan stood up and followed behind them. He covered
the door with the curtain and listened carefully.
Ashley knew that Ethan had been attracted by her. She went on to describe her details vividly, "Francis has been with Sheila for
several years, but she hasn't been pregnant. Why did she get pregnant so soon after Francis broke up with her? What a
coincidence!"
But June shook her head and said, "Maybe it's fated that Sheila got pregnant. Your assumption is far fetched."
"And, more than that reason." Ashley looked around and continued, "When Francis and Sheila broke up, they didn't make love. I
just know... Until one day, when Francis suddenly disappeared from the film set, the security said that it was Sheila who came to
find him, and he probably had gone to the hotel to check in. A month later, the news that Sheila was pregnant came out. Don't
you think it's too coincidental? "
June rubbed her chin and said, "If what you said is true, that would be strange. They hadn't had sex together for a long time.
How could she get pregnant for one time.
"I think Humph! " Sheila sneered.
Holding his breath, Ethan waited for the following words. June also asked, "Tell me quickly. I'm eager to know.
"I don't know where the baby in her tummy came from. She must have been trying to get married to Francis."
June timely exclaimed, "Oh my God! If it's true, this Sheila is so scheming..."
In a daze, Ethan returned to his position.
He had thought about this possibility before and also asked Sheila about it, but Sheila promised that the child was Francis's.
Even if he had doubts, he chose to believe in her. Because he believed that there was no mother in the world who would give up
her child's biological father in person.
But today, what Ashley had said made him realize that he was wrong.
Sheila wanted to marry Francis, so she might probably exploited him to get pregnant, and then... What would happen next?
Hearing that, Ethan's heart sank Then the baby would be of no value. With the character of Sheila, she would definitely not give
birth to this baby, she would definitely choose to abort!
Gosh, what should he do? What if the woman he loved the most really had such a wicked face?
He looked at the direction of Sheila again, she was holding a plate of snacks to Francis, and the latter waved it away impatiently.
Sheila was a little disappointed, and she brought a cup of juice for Francis complaisantly. But Francis still didn't accept it, leaving
Sheila to talk and drink with other men. Sheila seemed down and sat back on the sofa with her hands on her stomach. The other
girls did not talk to her, and they all kept far away from her.
Ethan was even more upset. Because Sheila was an illegitimate child, she was not welcomed in this circle. It was he who
brought her into this circle step by step. Thinking of what they had been getting along with each other at that time, Ethan felt a
pain in his heart. He felt awful and walked slowly to the side of Sheila to sit down.
"I can't believe that Francis's so cold-blooded and you're so dead set on loveing him."
Sheila turned her head angrily. "It's none of your business. Francis is very good to me, but you can't see that."
When she was about to stand up and go, Ethan grabbed her arm and pulled her back. He said, "Your baby is really mine, isn't
it?"
Sheila was shocked and quickly turned around to look around. When she found that no one was paying attention to this place,
she said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense, and I don't want to be shameless if others hear it!"
Ethan stared at Sheila, "You'd better not lie to me. If I know you lie to me, I will make you regret to know me for the rest of your
life!"
Sheila's face turned pale with fear. She got rid of Ethan and ran away in a hurry.
On the opposite corner, Ashley and June noticed everything. After taking a sip of the sweet wine, June said, "Actually, it's really
stupid of Sheila to give up Ethan who loves her so much. She might have suffered a lot with Francis. She's really stupid."
Ashley looked up and drank another glass of champagne. "For Sheila, everything that she gets from me is good, and the
initiative is not valuable."
"You are a good drinker, Ashley," A young man walked over to them and dragged Francis. "I didn't know you are a good drinker
before," he teased.
"That was long ago."
"Ha ha, yes." "We haven't seen you since you were in high school. I thought you were a little girl. But when I saw you on TV
again, I was surprised. You are a super star," the man said with a smile.
"I heard that you are the father of a baby and your wife is a model, right?"
"Don't even mention it. She is in bad shape after she gave birth to a boy." The man waved his hand and said, "You are also a
woman who has given birth. How can you keep such a good figure?"
"Ahem." June hawked, "It's none of your business."
Francis seemed to have drunk some wine and his face turned red. He looked at Ashley.
"It's okay. It's been so many years. You are still young and frivolous. You don't need to be so serious," said Ashley as she
avoided Francis's eye contact.
The man clapped his hands and said, "Look. A heroine with large drinking capacity and enormous generosity."
June rolled her eyes at that man and said, "Ashley, do you want to call your assistant and ask him to take you home? You've
drunk too much and can't drive home by yourself."
"You can ask Francis to drive you home. Francis!" The man urged Francis and pushed him to Ashley's side. Then they sat
together.
Ashley moved sideways calmly, "Now that Francis's drunk, how can he drive me home? He can't even protect himself. I'll call my
friend and ask him to pick me up."
While saying that, Ashley wanted to stand up but before she could do that, Francis pressed his hand on her shoulder and said, "I
can drive you there."
Looking at the situation, June's face changed a little. It seemed that Francis was really drunk. She rolled her eyes and said,
"Francis, you're so unreasonable. Ashley, such a beauty, certainly has guardians. Since you have a family, don't cause trouble.
Go and make a phone call, Ashley."
Ashley pulled Francis's hand away and was about to leave. But she didn't know what was wrong with Francis today. He used all
his strength and didn't let her go. Ashley was also a little angry and tried to pull his wrist with all her strength.
Although Francis was a strong man, Ashley had practiced martial arts before, and after she joined Shengshi Group, she went to
the gym every day. Francis was not strong enough to resist Ashley, and he was pull away soon. He looked at his hands and
found it hard to believe. Taking the opportunity, Ashley slipped away and made a phone call to Jasper.
"Hello, Mr. Jasper."
"What's wrong?" Jasper was working in his office.
"Mr. Jasper, I can't drive because I'm drunk. Please call a bodyguard to pick me up. I'll send you the address later."
"Okay."
Ashley hung up the phone and sent the address. Seeing that she hung up the phone, the man who urged Francis called her
again, "Ashley, come here after hung up the phone. We are waiting for you to drink."
Ashley was sitting on the outer side, and June sat between Francis and her.
"It's not fun just to drink. Let's play a game." The man suggested, "How about play officer catching the thief, and the loser drink
wine."
Everyone had no objection. The man waved his hand and then a servant came up with four wooden signs: "Let me shuffle the
cards and serve you to drink."
There were four words on the board, which were "officer", "soldier", "catch" and "thief". After the man finished showing the
wooden card, he took the wooden card to his back, shuffled the cards, and then put them onto the table, the four each drew a
wooden card.
In the very first round, Ashley drew the character "catch". This was similar to a killing game. The man who had drawn "catch" had
to ask questions to others and find the person with the word "thief".
