Betty felt a little depressed as she wondered, 'Does Fabio like Dany too?'
Eventually, she couldn't help asking, "Fabio, do you like Dany?"
"Of course," Fabio answered at once.
Dany was Fabio's sister. Definitely, he liked her.
Fabio was even thinking of taking Dany back home to the villa to live together, he was going to treat her
well.
He would not let anyone bully his sister.
Moreover, he wouldn't let anyone take her away again.
These thoughts boosted Fabio's mood.
Betty saw the delighted look on Fabio's face upon mentioning Dany's name.
She couldn't help but feel sadder.
All of Betty's classmates liked Dany instead of her.
She didn't want Fabio to like Dany too.
In the middle of their conversation, the teacher came and said to Fabio, "Fabio, your Mom and Dad are
here to see you."
"Really?"
Fabio quickly stood up from his seat.
He was so glad that his mother came to see him.
Fabio didn't care much when his teacher mentioned that his father also came.
The teacher walked Fabio to the gate. As soon as he saw Ashley and Andrew standing outside, his
eyes lit up.
"Mommy!" Fabio called out happily. He wanted to throw himself into Ashley's arms immediately.
But as expected, Andrew stopped him.
Fabio was already used to his father's unreasonable behavior, so he didn't say anything.
"Fabio," Ashley greeted her son.
She rubbed his hair and asked, "Is Dany inside?"
Fabio shook his little head and answered, "No. When I asked her teacher, she said that something
happened to Dany's family, so she wouldn't be coming today. Mommy, do you know what happened?"
Ashley fell silent. She felt her hands trembling.
Thinking that Dany didn't come to the kindergarten today made her look gloomy.
Why didn't Cayn let Dany come to school? Perhaps he was afraid that Ashley would take Dany away,
so he chose to hide her at home.
Seeing the sudden change in Ashley's expression, Andrew pulled her in his arms. He then turned to
Fabio and said, "Fabio, you go back inside now."
"What's wrong with Mommy?" Fabio asked in confusion.
He wondered why Ashley's mood suddenly changed when he told her that Dany was absent from
school today.
"Don't worry. Your mommy is fine."
Andrew then led Ashley back to the car. Fabio was still muddled, but he didn't get the chance to ask
more.
And since Ashley was with Andrew, he knew that he didn't have anything to worry about.
Ashley grasped Andrew's sleeve tightly and said, "Andy, our daughter didn't come today. Cayn must
have locked her up at home."
Andrew tried his best to comfort her, "Don't think too much. Maybe something really happened to the
family. We can let Grandpa go to the Mo family and check their current situation."
Johnny, who was beside them, was only listening quietly.
He was so surprised that Andrew had said a lot just to comfort Ashley.
As far as Johnny knew, Andrew was a man of few words. He didn't expect that Andrew was so good at
pacifying a woman.
"Let's go to my office,"
Andrew said to Josef as soon as they got in the car.
With Ashley's current condition, Andrew couldn't let her go to her own company.
He thought that it would be better if he took her with him.
The news about Dany being absent from school today upset Ashley a lot. It wouldn't be a good idea to
let her go to her company alone.
When they arrived at the office, Andrew took Ashley directly to his private elevator, so no one saw that
he brought a woman again, to his office.
Andrew had been very busy in the company recently because of so many responsibilities.
The Lu family had a wide range of businesses. They were involved in different industries like
entertainment, finance, airline, hotel, advertising, tourism, information technology, and real estate.
In short, the Lu family was extremely powerful in many fields.
Andrew took Ashley into his office and said, "You can sit next to me, or you can go around and find
your friends."
In the past, Andrew had never allowed Ashley to spend time with the other staff.
He always kept Ashley under his watch.
But today was different. Ashley was not in good condition, and if Andrew continued to keep an eye on
her, her condition might worsen. It would be much better if she could have some friends to talk to, so as
to divert her attention.
Ashley sat still on the couch. She seemed to be lost in thought.
On the table in front of her were different kinds of snacks that women usually loved to eat.
Andrew had asked Johnny to prepare all of them, thinking that they'd help boost Ashley's mood.
However, Ashley didn't touch any of them.
Staring at her, Andrew frowned slightly.
He didn't know what else to do.
Obviously, Ashley didn't want to talk with anyone. She also didn't want to eat anything.
Meanwhile, anything related to his great-granddaughter was very much important to Chant.
He was also eager to unite with her.
Thus, after Ashley and Andrew left the Golden Palace, he immediately went to the Mo family to look for
Clifford.
When Cayn took over the company, his parents left and traveled around the world.
They didn't want to care about the Mo family's business anymore because they trusted Cayn to handle
everything.
Since Cayn's parents were out of the country, only Clifford was left in the Mo family villa.
Sometimes, Cayn would bring Dany over so that Clifford could spend some time with her.
Today, Clifford didn't expect that Cayn would come early in the morning with Dany in his arms.
But of course, Clifford was pleased to see his great-granddaughter. He doted on Dany so much.
"Baby, were you bullied by your daddy? Why do you look so unhappy today? Tell me. I will punish him
right away."
Dany, who was watching TV, turned to look at Clifford. She shook her head and said, "Great-grandpa,
Daddy didn't bully me."
She was watching her favorite cartoon.
"Are you sure that he didn't bully you?"
"Yes. Daddy always treats me well. He won't ever bully me."
"That's good then. If he bullies you, tell me so I can punish him, okay?"
The loving expression on Clifford's face amused Dany, so she couldn't help laughing when she replied,
"Okay."
They played happily in the living room for a while.
The butler then came in and whispered something in Clifford's ear.
"That old fool? What is he doing in my house? I don't want to see him. Can't you see I am busy taking
care of my great-granddaughter? Send him away right now."
"Who are you trying to drive away?"
Before the butler could move, a voice reverberated from behind them.
Clifford turned and pulled a long face.
Dany also looked at the door curiously.
The voice sounded familiar to her. She suddenly remembered Fabio's great-grandfather.
'Who told this old fool to come to my house?' Clifford thought to himself angrily.
