    She was worn out from dealing with this tedious rtionship.


    “Alright, this won’t happen again in the future,” Gabriel said gently.


    At Blossom Grand Hotel. “Ashley!” Jasmine eximed with excitement upon seeing Ashley


    Jackson. “I can’t believe you came back to visit me.” she said, deeply touched.


    That wasn’t why she returned; Ashley did not say it explicitly. Looking at Jasmine with concern, she


    sighed. “My poor Jasmine.”


    Jasmine felt even more aggrieved and said, “Ashley, do you remember who I am? You once said


    you would arrange a marriage for me with Gabriel


    “Of course I remember, and I still think that way.” Ashley reassured her. “But how is your recovery


    going? There won’t be anysting injuries, right?” It wouldn’t be ideal to bring a daughter-inw with


    disabilities into the Jackson family.


    Jasmine hadn’t understood the underlying meaning in Ashley’s words, but her mother, Hannah, did.


    “No, no, don’t worry. Jasmine’s treatment is arranged at Prover Hospital, which has top-notch


    international medical resources. The doctors have assured us that Jasmine is recovering well and


    won’t be left with anysting injuries,” she exined. After finishing her exnation, Hannah felt a


    sense of foreboding, realizing that by praising Prover Hospital, she also inadvertently praised


    Gina


    Ashley didn’t notice these subtleties. What caught her attention were the varying depths of scars on


    Jasmine’s face. “Will these scars ever heal?”


    Due to Jasmine’s multiple fractures and the focus of her treatment being on her body, coupled with


    Hannah’s reassurances and the advancement of medical aesthetics, there was no need to worry


    about scars remaining on her face. Jasmine shifted her focus to recuperating her body, considering


    she spent most of her days in bed, even if her face was unscathed, it was still difficult for her to


    muster the courage to see Gabriel.


    “It’s possible. I’ll contact the best cosmetic hospitals for scar removal, Jasmine said.


    Ashley nodded thoughtfully. “Yeah, girls care a lot about their appearance. The face is essential.”


    The Jackson family’s daughters-inw also represented the family’s image. While Gina may have


    been beautiful, shecked discipline and didn’t possess a refined demeanor. On the other hand,


    Jasmine was different. With the longstanding rtionship between the two families, Jasmine was


    seen as obedient, primarily because she listened to Ashley. This kind of daughter-inw was


    considered well-mannered, something Gina couldn’tpare to


    Reluctantly, Jasmine began to confide in Ashley. “Ashley, I don’t know what Gina has done to


    Gabriel; he’spletely devoted to her, ignoring everything else….


    Ashleyforted Jasmine, saying, “Don’t worry, Gina can never be my sister-inw with me


    around. Right now, your priority is to focus on getting better and appearing in front of Gabriel in the


    best possible condition.”


    “Okay.” Jasmine nodded vigorously.


    At Quaria, Michael entered the reception room. “Miss Ashley Jackson,” he greeted.


    Ashley began to size Michael. He was pretty handsome and seemed to be a talented individual,


    despite his young age, being the president of Quaria.

    Ashley, maintaining the dignity of being a member of the Jackson family, said, “Mr. rk, I would


    like to talk to you. I represent the Jackson family and the Jackson Group’s interest in investing in


    Quaria.”


    Even though she hadn’t directly involved herself in the Jackson Croup’s business dealings, her


    father, Harry, held the shares, making him a shareholder. So, her statement was indeed urate.


    Michael wasn’t too surprised. Considering the time Gabriel had been entangling with Gina, he


    assumed Ashley was representing Gabriel in extending goodwill to Quaria. “Certainly, Miss


    Jackson. How much capital do you intend to invest?”


    Ashley took a sip of water nonchntly. “Jackson Group can provide whatever amount of capital is


    needed. My request regarding Quaria is quite simple. If you agree to a small condition of mine, our


    cooperation can be quickly finalized.”


    Michael didn’t believe Ashley’s request would be as minor as she implied. “Miss Jackson, please go


    ahead and tell me.”


    “I heard that Gina Miller is your exclusively hired designer at Quaria. If you dismiss her, I will invest


    immediately.”

    Michael was somewhat surprised. “Miss Jackson, as far as I know, Miss Miller is involved with your


    cousin…”


    Ashley smirked sarcastically. “They haven’t even established a proper rtionship yet; it’s just some


    ambiguous connection. Unless you are worried that if you dismiss Gina Miller, Gabriel might cause


    trouble for Quaria?”


    Michael conidn’t help but find it amusing. “That’s not the reason at all.”


    Then just fire her directly,” Ashley said impatiently.


    “Impossible. Michael replied just as directly.


    Ashley was puzzled. “Why can’t you do it? As a president, don’t you have the authority to fire


    someone?” She found it incredulous that he wouldck such authority.


    “I don’t have the authority to fire her,” Michael said..


    Ashley chuckled in exasperation. “Isn’t she the exclusively hired designer you brought in? If you


    can’t fire her, then who can? Your chairman?”


    Michael joked, “Perhaps it depends on the mood of our chairman. If our chairman is in a good


    mood, they might dismiss this exclusive designer.”

    Ashley sneered. “Fine, then tell me how I can meet with your chairman. I’ll talk to him directly!”


    At first, Ashley thought that Gina could be an exclusive designer at Quaria, an internationally


    renowned luxury brand, because of Michael’s support. Now, it seemed that he was just a superficial


    support for her. Gina’s actual backing was the chairman, the founder of Quaria. There were many


    spections about who the founder of Quaria might be, but Ashley leaned towards the idea that the


    founder was a stylish older man Given her clear understanding of Gina’s background, the possibility


    of her being treated as the founder’s daughter could be ruled out. That only allowed Gina to have anProperty ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    inappropriate rtionship with this founder.


    Feeling angry at this realization, Ashley thought, “This shameless woman refuses tomit to


    Gabriel openly and toys with him behind the scenes, is that it? Today, not only will I make her leave


    Quaria, but I’ll also expose this matter, making Gabriel see her true colors once and for all!”


    Michael shrugged. “Our chairman is in thepany now; there’s no need for special arrangements


    to meet our chairman. I can have her over


    Ashley’s anger subsided slightly upon hearing this. Michael seemed to have some insight,


    recognizing her status and offering to bring the founder himself. Ashley instinctively straightened up.


    “Alright, then hurry up and bring him to me!”


    “Alright.” Michael nodded.
