Ashley froze. She pressed her lips together and then she said reluctantly, "Probably… my eyes played tricks on me."
The video Asher had played just now restored the truth of what had happened that day, which also exposed Ashley's lies directly.
"Really?" Nora sneered, "You and your classmate would not have been wrong at the same time, would you? If I'm not mistaken, committing perjury is a crime that carries a light penalty of detention and a heavy penalty of..."
"You're talking nonsense. I just made a mistake." Ashley passed the buck and looked at Asher somewhat pitifully, "Asher, say something for me."
Asher glanced at Ashley indifferently, then took Nora's hand and said, "Let's go."
In Ashley's resentful gaze, Nora and Asher walked out of the ward together and into the elevator.
There was a ding and the elevator door closed.
"What you did was very surprising to me today." Asher turned his head to look at Nora and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect you to come straight to the hospital and confront Sarah."
Nora smiled, "What, do I look like a pushover who is at the mercy of others?"
Asher smiled slightly, gave Nora a deep look, and then shook his head, "No."
"Thank you for what you did just now." Nora hesitated for a moment before she said.
She didn't expect that Asher would have stood up for her and found such a crucial video that Sarah could not deny.
Even Anthony did not find that video, but Asher found it, he must have spent a lot of effort.
It was impossible for her to say that she was not moved at all.
It was just that...
"I told you that I would protect you." Asher's thin lips parted slightly and his clear voice sounded in Nora's ears.
His voice was extremely magnetic, with a hint of seductive charm.
Nora's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously leaned to the side.
A faint trace of loss crossed Asher's deep gaze.
Did this woman have to keep her distance from him?
Was it possible that she really felt nothing at all from what he had done for her?
Asher put his hands in his trouser pockets and his handsome face was gloomy
The air in the elevator seemed slightly frozen for a while.
Nora pressed her lips together and moved her eyes away from him.
At this moment, Nora's cell phone rang.
It was Nora's grandfather who called.
Nora quickly picked up the phone, "Grandpa, why are you calling me all of a sudden?"
Nora's grandfather's cheerful laugh came from the other end of the phone, "I saw what happened today on TV. Asher is a good kid who can protect you."
Nora: "..."
She was slightly embarrassed that her grandfather's voice was so loud and Asher must have heard it in this small elevator.
Nora's grandfather continued, "As counted, you have been spending almost a month with him, right? When will I be able to celebrate your wedding?"
"Oh, grandpa, what are you talking about?" Nora's face flushed unconsciously. What was Grandpa talking about?
"I'm not talking nonsense. The kid of the Hawn family has talent, good looks, ability, and is responsible, which makes him worthy of my precious granddaughter." Nora's grandfather was very pleased with Asher.
"Grandpa, I have something to do. I will call you again!" Nora vaguely heard Asher laugh lightly and she hurriedly hung up the phone.
"Your grandfather has great discernment, which is way better than you." Asher's smile and his tone brought a bit of flirtation.
Nora glared at him helplessly, "Are you so self-absorbed?"
Nora ignored the man beside her and stared at the flashing red numbers on the elevator, hoping to get to the first floor quickly.
Just as she stepped out of the elevator, Asher's cell phone rang.
It was Howard's call.
"Grandpa, what's the matter?" Asher picked up the phone with a calm expression.
"It has been quite a few days since I have seen you and Nora. When do you have time to come to the old house to visit me?" Howard's voice came through the airwaves.
Asher nodded, "I'll come when I'm free."
"Don't wait to be free. Why don't you come over tonight? I'll have the kitchen prepare your favorite food." Without waiting for Asher's answer, Howard hung up the phone.
Asher shook his head somewhat helplessly, as his grandfather's temperament was the same as his.
"What's the matter?" Nora asked curiously.
Asher turned his head sideways and said lightly, "Grandpa asked us to go to the old mansion for dinner tonight."
"Oh, I see." Nora smiled faintly. With her grandfather and Asher's grandfather calling them at the same time, she didn't think it was that simple.
"I'll pick you up at the end of the day and bring you along." Asher said with an expressionless face.
The two of them went back to the office. Nora had just returned to her seat when Shirley came over excitedly.
"Nora, your counterattack this morning was so awesome! Your evidence was so conclusive that the shameless woman, Sarah, was unable to rebut!" At this moment, Shirley looked at Nora with eyes full of admiration.
Nora smiled lightly, "That's what she brought upon herself."
"Nora, why are you so calm? Do you know how popular you are on the internet right now?" Shirley took her phone and placed it in front of Nora, with a bit of excitement in her tone, "Look, you are now the Top 1 of all trending topics online."
Nora glanced down at the screen.
As a matter of fact, it was the video of her giving CPR to Sarah that caught her eye.
Today, Nora had become a goddess of beauty and kindness on the Internet.
And her relationship with Asher was being discussed more widely.
"Nora is so beautiful and Asher is so handsome! The two are so well matched!"
"Unconditionally supporting Nora & Asher!"
But there were also some discordant views.
"I heard that Nora is from the countryside. She is simply a scheming bitch and is not good enough for Asher!"
Nora rubbed her brow. Her purpose for going to the hospital today was merely to expose Sarah's crime.
She didn't expect Asher to show up, let alone that he would have announced her as his fiancée in front of so many reporters. Now the public opinion is going wild so fast, which was not Nora's original intention at all.
After thinking about it, Nora sent a text message to Anthony, [Help me remove all the trending topics about me.]
[What's wrong, Ada? You look beautiful in the photos and videos and your fiancé is handsome. What's the point of removing them? Let us enjoy it longer.] Anthony replied jokingly.
[Just do it and stop talking nonsense. I'll give you half an hour and I don't want to see any more news about me!]
[Yes, ma’am!]
In the president's office.
Asher narrowed his eyes slightly as his deep eyes fell on the phone in his hand.
The photo of him holding Nora's hand was extraordinarily clear.
The comments below even set the highest traffic volume ever.
Asher smiled slightly.
He was browsing with great interest when all the trending topics about Nora disappeared without a trace in just a few minutes.
