Chapter 492 Your Cousin Is Here For You

"Ashley... Hey, Ashley! What are you doing? I've been calling your name many times already. What are you thinking about?" Amaia waved her hand in front of Ashley's face.

Still, Ashley stared blankly at the floor. Looking at the absent-minded Ashley, Amaia gave a loud sigh.

"What? What's wrong? Say something." Ashley turned to look at Amaia, seemingly snapping out of her daze.

Walking over to her, Amaia put her hands on Ashley's shoulders and asked, "What were you thinking about just now? You were completely lost inside your own thoughts. I called out your name several times and yet it was like you couldn't hear me!"

Shaking her head, Ashley replied, "Oh, no. It was nothing. So, wait. Why were you calling me?"

"Oh, your cousin is looking for you," Amaia pouted, pointing behind her.

Looking in the direction Amaia had pointed to, Ashley saw Johnny walking towards them.

On the other hand, Amaia kept stealing quick glances at Johnny. Although there was some anxiety in her heart, she was very eager to meet him.

Ashley put her hand on her forehead, speechless at the sight of Johnny. It had been a long time since they last met, but they still hadn't made any progress.

'If things go on like this, it would take ages before they could establish a relationship, ' Ashley thought to herself.

Once Johnny had approached the two girls, he gave a slight nod at Ashley.

"Cousin," Ashley greeted flatly.

The corners of Johnny's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was trying not to laugh out loud. He thought it was funny when Ashley called him 'cousin' so seriously.

Then, he suddenly thought of a scenario that Andrew would call him 'cousin'.

Johnny shuddered at the thought.

Ashley saw the change of expression on his face. "What's wrong?" she asked.

Shaking his head, he replied, "Nothing It's all right." He didn't dare say what he had thought about just now. "Let's step out for a minute. I have something to talk with you about," Johnny continued.

Ashley glanced at Amaia.

"Go ahead," said Amaia, waving her hand at Ashley.

After saying their good byes, Ashley left with Johnny.

As soon as they got outside, Ashley turned to Johnny.

? Is that what you're saying?" Ashley interrupted.

Mr. Li nodded. Right now, he couldn't think of anything else better to do than to agree with whatever Ashley said.

He would do anything just so that he wouldn't get fired.

He was the senior manager in the company. If he was fired like this, no other company would want to hire him again.

Therefore, he was willing to do anything as long as Andrew didn't force him to quit his job.

Ashley looked at Mr. Li coldly.

Huh.

How ironic.

She remembered she told them that if Andrew came back, would they treat her in the same way as when Andrew was away. It meant at least, that they were firm minded.

But now? They changed their behavior and attitude to Ashley totally.

Forgive him?

Why hadn't he thought about that when he was pushing her into such a desperate situation?

They should all pay for what they had done.

"You want me to forgive you? Fine. As long as you tell me who made you do what you did to me and what else they want to do, I will forgive you,"

Ashley looked at Mr. Li expectantly, her brows raised at him.

Mr. Li was tempted by Ashley's offer.

He was supposed to be a senior executive in the Lu Group. He agreed to follow Ethan's plan only because he was moved by the offer Ethan gave him.

Besides, he didn't have a personal grudge against Ashley. Moreover, he didn't care about whom Andrew liked, whom he wanted to be with and whom he wanted to marry.
