Maybe I had never been normal.
I looked at Edward with anger and displeasure. In a hoarse voice, I said, "Edward... I'll give you one last chance. Tell me, is my father's death really an accident?"
Don't let me down, Edward... Please...
"The death of your father was an accident. Ashley, as long as I am here, you will have a home. Don't be afraid." Edward thought that I was missing my father, so I was sad.
He held me in his arms and comforted me gently.
I leaned against his arms and listened to his deep and pleasant voice. My heart was broken.
Edward... You really... disappointed me.
About my father's death, I would definitely investigate it thoroughly.
If my father was really framed by The Xis, then I would... let them pay with their lives.
I looked at my shadow on the glass opposite me. At that moment, I was consumed with hatred.
The next day, because of the design exhibition project, Edward went to work very early.
Before he went to work, he flirted with me on the bed and asked me to wait for him in the villa. I watched Edward leave before getting up.
I found the bottle that William gave me last night and held it hard.
William said that this was only to prevent the designers of Edward's company from participating in the design competition.
Since I had agreed, I couldn't go back on my word. I didn't think the consequences would be so serious.
Thinking of this, I took the bottle and left the room to go downstairs to have breakfast.
The breakfast was cooked with medicinal herbs, and it was good for my baby. I didn't have an appetite after taking a few bites. At that time, Amy called me for help, so I asked her to come to the villa to find me.
"Why are there so many design drafts?" Amy came to me with a lot of drafts in her hands. She put the design drafts on the table and looked at me with a crying face.
"Ashley, can you help me? The design competition is very important. I've racked my brain, but I don't know how to design it." Amy grabbed my arm and said to me.
I looked at Amy who looked pitiful, and said helplessly, "What kind of style do you want to design?"
Amy immediately told me that she wanted to design a unique wedding dress, but she had no inspiration. She wanted to ask me for advice.
I gave her some advice. Amy immediately smiled and said, "Ashley, you're really amazing. If you take part in the competition, maybe G. M. Xiao will win."
"Why?" After hearing her words, I asked with some doubts.
Although I had the talent to design wedding dresses, I couldn't compare with those internationally well-known designers.
I knew my ability clearly.
"Time Group was taken over by Edward. Now the company is newly established. There are some established staff who support G. M. Xiao in the company. We all hope that our company can win this design competition. You don't know how important it is to us this time."
Amy took a sip of water and continued to say, "Because of Edward, Time Group was deep in crisis. The company ran into cash- flow problems and owed a huge debt. At that time, you were taken away by Edward. G.M.Xiao was worried about your safety while he was dealing with the company's affairs. He became very haggard."
Hearing Amy's words, I couldn't help but close my eyes.
"Ashley, although you and G.M.Xiao got divorced in this way, but... you really don't like him? We all think that he is more suitable for you than Edward. Although Edward now has divorced Betty and wants to remarry with you, but do you forget what did to you before? You must not be cheated by him again. You must support G.M.Xiao in this design competition."
Amy grabbed my arm and pleaded.
"Amy, I can't express my relationship with Edward clearly with a few words. Just tell me if there is anything I can do for William. I will help him as long as I can." I looked at Amy and said in a low voice.
Because I owed William a lot. I could only try my best to repay.
"It's just about the design drafts. The designers in our company can't draw a good design draft, and the competition will start in a few days. At that time, if we failed, G.M.Xiao will be driven desperate."
So serious?
I remembered the strange and furious look on William's face when we were on the cruise. It turned out that things had become so serious. No wonder William would lose his mind at that time.
"Tell me the theme of this competition. I'll draw a design drafts for you as soon as possible."
"With your help, we will definitely win this competition." Amy was so happy when she heard what I said.
