No matter who knew that his woman was that kind of person, he wouldn't react that way.
But Lena didn't know that Andrew wasn't just an average man.
Especially when the woman concerned was Ashley.
Lena kept her head down and racked her brains, trying to think of some more effective ways to
badmouth Ashley and smear her image.
Meanwhile, a pair of icy eyes were boring into her. Those eyes were like the eyes of a viper, which
crept people out when they saw them.
Then Lena heard a horrible voice that would scare her for the rest of her life whenever she recalled it.
It was cold and menacing as if it came from the icy depths of the North Pole.
"If I hear you say one more word against Ashley, you will no longer exist in this world!"
After saying that, he didn't give her a second glance. He just stood up and left.
Lena stayed glued to the same spot. She was left reeling from what he said and stared at his back,
petrified. It took her a few moments to compose herself.
It was only once Andrew had left the room that Lena allowed herself to relax. She released the air that
she held in her lungs and squatted down abruptly, panting to catch her breath.
'That man is horrible!
His eyes could kill a person by cutting them up piece by piece.'
But on the flip side, when she thought about how gently and sweetly Andrew treated Ashley, jealousy
ate away at her.
'Why? How did she earn his love?
I just spoke to him nicely for a few minutes, and he acted that way.
I won't admit defeat and give up!'
However, after what she had experienced just now, deep in her heart, she was profoundly fearful of
Andrew, especially remembering how she tried to seduce him. Merely seeing Andrew again would
make her too scared to raise her head and face him.
Meanwhile, outside the ward
It wouldn't be true to say that Ashley wasn't worried about Andrew at all.
She was convinced that Andrew wouldn't have any interest in that vile woman, and he would never
betray her under any circumstances.
However, when she thought of him staying in a room alone with another woman, she felt
uncomfortable.
With Andrew still in the room, she felt like her belongings were being tarnished. Or like she had
swallowed a disgusting, filthy fly accidentally. She felt sick to the stomach and wanted to vomit.
Ashley started to feel regret and wondered, 'What was I thinking? Why did I agree to let Andrew and
Lena stay alone together?'
So she kept staring at the door of the ward expectantly. When Andrew emerged, her eyes immediately
met his.
"Are you all right?" Ashley asked as she examined him up and down.
"Yes."
"Then let's leave," Ashley said, feeling relieved.
Ashley held his hand and glanced back through the window in the door. She was surprised to see Lena
squatting on the floor, hunched over. Lena seemed to sense that she was being watched and raised
her head, where her eyes met Ashley's.
She could see the terror, grievance, and resentment in Lena's eyes.
Ashley raised her eyebrows. She was curious to know what Andrew and Lena talked about to have left
her in that state.
In the end, she smiled sweetly to Lena. Then holding onto Andrew's arm, they both left Lena's ward.
Lena watched them leave, with spiteful eyes. She was so angry that she clenched her fists tightly, and
her nails pierced the soft flesh in her palms without her knowing.
Once they got back to Ashley's ward, she gave Andrew a curious look and asked, "So, what did you
and Lena talk about?" 'I'd really like to know why Lena's expression was so weird.'
Andrew looked at her puzzled face and he frowned. He paused for a while before he said, "Never allow
her to cause trouble for you ever again. Make her disappear out of your life."
Ashley was amused to hear Andrew say those words so seriously. She threw herself into his arms and
laughed silently.
'Why is he so cute?'
Andrew didn't understand why she threw herself into his embrace and asked, "What's wrong? Did I say
something wrong?"
"No, what you said is nice. I love you so much," replied Ashley.
Before Andrew could react, she reached up to his face and pecked him on the cheek and then let him
go.
Andrew remained where he was. Scratching his head, he watched her walk away from him,
dumbfounded.
Ashley had stayed in the hospital for two or three days. She had recovered almost completely and was
eager to get out of the hospital the next day.
She only slept at the hospital for observation but didn't stay there all day. However, sleeping in the
hospital was a lot different from sleeping at home.
The next morning when she opened the door of her ward, she saw Johnny and a middle-aged man in
his forties, standing outside.
The man was wearing a sleek suit and holding a briefcase. He wore glasses, was tall and was in good
shape. He had the typical image of a business elite.
Andrew was still in the bedroom, and Ashley guessed that this man was here to see him. She turned to
Johnny and asked, "And this gentleman is...?"
"This is Mr. Lu's attorney. Mr. Lu asked him to come here. It's with regards to the case between you and
Lena."
Ashley nodded. Andrew did tell her about this.
She smiled politely at the man and held her hand out to shake his. "Nice to meet you. I'm Ashley Mu.
Please come in."
The man reached out his hand and shook hers. "Nice to meet you. My name is Shea Xu."
He looked scrupulous and serious without showing any unnecessary emotions.
Ashley was a little intimidated by this kind of people.
'Too serious, ' she thought.
'Probably difficult to talk to and not easy to get along with.'
Johnny observed Shea from the side and furrowed his eyebrows.
'What a pig-head! I've already told him that this is the CEO's wife. Why does he have to act so
imperious? Isn't he worried that he might scare Miss Mu?'
After leading them into the room, Ashley started to make coffee for them.
Johnny saw that and offered to help immediately. "Miss Mu, let me do it. You just sit down."
'The CEO has probably never let her make coffee for him either, since he adores her so much.
If he comes out now and finds her making coffee for us, it will be the end of the world, ' thought Johnny.
Just after Johnny finished making the coffee, Andrew came out from the bedroom.
Andrew was wearing a tailor-made suit of exquisite quality, just as he always did. He was clean, fresh,
and sleek. His clear-cut features and perfectly-shaped face gave out an air that kept others at a
distance.
However, when he happened to turn and see Ashley, an aura of gentleness and warmth surrounded
him.
Ashley went to him and said, "We have someone visiting us."
"Oh," said Andrew.
Johnny and Shea stood up with respect when they saw Andrew enter the room.
Andrew then said to Ashley, "Bring Shea the audio."
