Chapter 1172 The Identities of the Two Women


    “Got it, boss.” Ashton was wholly impatient. Why should she have a good attitude toward Emmanuel


    when she wasn’t his woman?!


    After Sage left, the two sat facing each other, and for a moment, their eyes met, but neither spoke,


    creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.


    “Hmph, Emmanuel, what exactly are you trying?” Finally, Ashton spoke with exasperation.


    “Me?” Emmanuel chuckled, “What did I do?”


    “What’s with that attitude?!” Ashton fumed. “Back then, you came asking me to arrange a blind date for


    my brother with your sister. Now that my brother has identally fallen for your sister, she won’t give


    him a chance anymore.


    She hurts his feelings again and again, making him drown his sorrows with alcohol. You and your sister


    are doing this on purpose, aren’t you?!”


    “Well…” Emmanuel was momentarily speechless. The situation had indeed developed beyond what he


    had expected. He genuinely felt sorry for Julian.


    “Either way, you started this mess; you clean it up. If my brother continues to be heartbroken, you’ll be


    talking to my fists!” Ashton taunted loftily, her arms crossed, and her face turned away.


    She was casually dressed that day, wearing a tight ck outfit that entuated her well-endowed


    chest, making her a formidable sight.


    Emmanuel sighed, unsure how to respond at the moment.


    Just then, a man holding arge bunch of fiery red roses approached them. “Sir, is your girlfriend


    upset? Buy some roses to cheer her up!”


    Huh? Say what? Emmanuel was stupefied. The man had made a huge mistake.


    He was about to exin to the man, but Ashton had already proudly stated, “Hmph, I’m not his


    girlfriend!”


    The manughed and said to Emmanuel, “You see, if you don’t pacify your girlfriend, she might leave!”


    Upon hearing the flower seller’s words, Ashton felt inexplicably happy. She found herself wishing that


    Emmanuel would actually cheer her up. Seeing that he was her constant source of irritation, she


    thought it would be amusing if he tried to make her happy! Unfortunately, she was just being wishful.


    Emmanuel waved his hand. “Didn’t she say it herself? She’s not my girlfriend, and we’re not dating, so


    we don’t need any flowers! Thanks.”


    “You jerk!” Ashton, upon hearing his response, got inexplicably angry and mmed the table.


    “Emmanuel, are you even a man? Are you so poor? Seeing me upset, whether I’m your girlfriend or


    not, as a man, will it kill you to buy me flowers?!”


    Emmanuel was rendered speechless. He couldn’t understand why Ashton was so angry. Do all women


    like flowers? me flowers?!”


    Emmanuel was rendered speechless. He couldn’t understand why Ashton was so angry. Do all women


    like flowers?


    “Alright, how much is one?”


    “100 each, sir!”


    “What?!” Emmanuel thought he had misheard. Although he had never bought roses for a woman


    himself, he had apanied his older sister to the New Year flower market before.


    He couldn’t believe a rose that normally cost ten dors at most was now being sold for a hundred.


    This was practically daylight robbery!


    Seeing his expression, Ashton not only didn’t think it was expensive but even felt rather triumphant,


    having a great sense of aplishment having made the annoying guy buy her roses at an exorbitant


    price. She could brag about it for a century.


    “Sir, the price is fixed, no bargaining!” The man was also smug. After all, he was a veteran who had


    been selling flowers here for a long time. If a woman wanted it, he could easily make a man pay even


    200 dors for one.


    “Fine, one.”


    Emmanuel wasn’t short of money, and the main thing was that Ashton already had a dislike for him. He


    wanted to gather some information about the case, and it wasn’t a good idea to provoke her further.


    After the transaction wasplete, the man walked away.


    Emmanuel handed the roses directly to Ashton, saying, “Here, for you. Happy?”


    “Hmph.” Ashton was very dissatisfied with his attitude but still took the roses, her gaze appearing


    somewhat triumphant. In the future, if needed, she could tell others that this guy had given her roses


    before. She’d like to see if he would continue to act mighty before her!


    “Now, can we talk about what happened this afternoon?”


    Emmanuel considered the rose incident a minor episode and didn’t pay much attention to it. He just


    wanted to understand the situation from that day, figuring out the identities of the two women. Were


    they really Saintesses?Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
