Chapter 190 Meeting


    Raymond pressed his lips into a line when he realized what his father was implying. Sincest time''s


    incident, Ashley had cut all contact with him. She had blocked him on all her social media.


    Naturally, he couldn''t contact her in any way.


    Raymond remained silent.


    Clyde continued, "If possible, go talk to her. She is the key person in this matter."


    As a man, Clyde knew how men''s brains worked. Andrew''s animosity against the Luo family could only


    be due to one out of two possibilities. The first was to take revenge for Ashley who was treated unjustly


    when she attended their party.


    And the second possibility was that he had found out that Raymond and Ashley were ex-lovers. These


    were the only two reasons why he was after the Luo family.


    He didn''t expect the legendary aloof and cruel Andrew to end up with Ashley and adore her so much.


    Maybe they should reconsider their opinion about that woman.


    Raymond''s jaw dropped in astonishment. "Dad, what do you mean?" he asked.


    When he was with Ashley, his mother was strongly against their rtionship. He knew that his father


    didn''t approve of their rtionship either, but he hadn''t done anything to stop them.


    However, now that their rtionship had deteriorated, his father wanted him to go to see Ashley. How


    would he do that?


    Raymond didn''t say anything and Cora, who was standing on the side, frowned. She knew what Clyde


    meant but she really didn''t like the idea of Raymond going to see Ashley again.


    To be honest, even she herself didn''t know why she disliked Ashley so much.


    Clyde nodded at Raymond and said, "You go to talk to her. She can tell us if she has a grudge against


    us, and we will make it up to her if she does." It might be possible that even if they tried to make it up to


    her, she wouldn''t be appeased. However, at this point, the Luo family couldn''t do anything else.


    Raymond had never seen his father looking so demoralized. However tough the situation had been, he


    had always handled it with ease. He had never been so tired and worried.


    Raymond had heard a few rumors about Andrew and had already met him twice.


    This man''s social background seemed soplicated. Didn''t Ashley want a simple and peaceful life?


    Why did she choose to be with him then?


    How did she get involved with him? Coming from an influential family himself, Raymond knew all about


    rich people''s mindsets. They simply wanted a marriage with an equally wealthy and powerful family.


    His own family thought this way, not to mention the people in the Lu family.


    The Lu family might have even moreplicated and tricky personal rtions than other families. How


    would she survive there?


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    The Lu family wouldn''t possibly ept the adopted daughter of a family who owned nothing at all.


    Various thoughts surfaced in his head and he let out a long breath. He looked at his father and nodded.


    "Okay, Dad. I will go talk to Ashley. Don''t worry about it." He was going to do it either for personal


    reason or for anything else anyway.


    Clyde nodded. He was quite satisfied with Raymond. He had always been obedient even as a child and


    everything he did, he did it well.


    Clyde left the room and went upstairs. He had been very busy as the Luo Group was in so much


    trouble. He asked Raymond toe back just to rify things.


    After Clyde left, Cora spoke with Raymond at length. It was about Ashley.


    She said a lot of bad things about Ashley, and that since he and Lena were going to get married, he


    should treat her well, and not think of anything inappropriate.


    It wouldn''t happen even in his wildest dreams.


    Raymond seeded in getting Ashley''s phone number through his contacts.


    He used a different cell phone number to call her.


    Ashley was at the bakery with Ellie when her phone rang. The cell phone screen showed that the


    iing call was from a strange number.


    Ashley frowned and answered the call. "Hello?"


    Raymond didn''t speak and the silencested for quite a while.


    Ashley thought the call disconnected, so she moved the phone away from her ear and looked at the


    screen. But she found that the line was still connected, and the person on the other end wasn''t


    speaking.


    Ashley became impatient. Who was it? Why wouldn''t he or she speak? Did he or she want to donate


    money to the phonepany?


    "Hello? If you don''t speak, I will hang up."


    Just as Ashley was about to hang up, a voice came through the line.


    It was Raymond''s husky voice. "Ashley, it''s me."


    This voice had been so familiar to her for three years. How could she forget it?


    However, on second thoughts, she had nothing to do with him now. "What''s the matter?" she asked


    quietly.


    "Ashley, I need to talk with you," he replied. After a pause, he added, "About Andrew."


    Ashley frowned slightly. "I think I have made it clear to you that there is nothing between us. There is


    nothing else to talk about. As for Andrew, I don''t think he has anything to do with you. If there''s nothing


    else, I will hang up."


    Fearing she would hang up, Raymond became anxious and said hurriedly, "Ashley, this is for thest


    time. I really need to talk to you. It is something important about you. Can we meet somewhere?"


    Ellie could tell something was wrong when she saw Ashley''s expression. She couldn''t help asking,


    "What happened? Who is it?"


    Ashley put the cell phone a little away and said, "It is Raymond. He wants to talk to me. And he''s


    saying it''s important for me."


    "What do you think? Are you going to meet him?" Ellie asked.


    Ashley furrowed her brows and said, "I don''t want to go. I don''t want to get involved with him anymore."


    Ellie thought for a moment and said, "I think maybe you should hear him out. What if he really has


    something important to tell you?"


    Ashley muttered irritably, "What important thing can he possibly have to say to me?"


    However, she did agree to meet him and fixed an appointment. It was at a milk tea shop they used to


    frequent.


    The shop was close to the college they went to and so they used to have a drink there from time to


    time. Ashley used to like their milk tea.


    So Ashley asked Ellie to take care of the shop and headed for the meeting.


    Raymond had said it was important and that he had to talk to her immediately. She had her doubts but


    agreed to meet him nheless, so she had to get it over with sooner orter. She might as well do it


    now.
