Ashley didn't care much when Andrew admitted that he had feelings for her.
She had just broken up with Raymond then, so she didn't think too much about a new relationship.
Ashley burst into a fit of laughter when she saw Andrew's pathetic look.
"Well, it's all my fault. I didn't realize that you had feelings for me at that time", Ashley said suppressing her grin.
"Apology accepted," Andrew shrugged.
Ashley looked at Andrew intently. "What are you going to do with those reporters?"
"Don't worry about it. Just leave it to me. I will handle it in a way it should be handled," Andrew promised.
Although Ashley was concerned about the issue, it was beyond her ability to get it handled properly. So, she couldn't help but bother Andrew by questioning him.
A couple of minutes later, Greyson and Francis called Andrew. They were also worried about what had happened.
Andrew didn't bother talking much. He just answered a couple of questions before hanging up.
Fortunately, Claire was clever enough to lock the door at the right time, although she was oblivious to what was happening outside.
Otherwise, it would have been a disaster if the reporters had rushed in.
Ashley was relieved that the matter had come to an end. But to her utter disappointment, the news about Andrew tormenting the reporters badly had spread like a wildfire. It was the headline of the news channels and was circulating all over the internet.
Although the news hadn't incurred a loss to the Lu Group, it was still a dirty hit that would leave a black mark on their reputation.
Andrew and Johnny couldn't keep an eye on all the people.
Some reporters had snuck in and recorded the happenings at the gate of the villa.
When the footage of Andrew bullying the journalists came out, the citizens in J City were shocked.
Being the president of the most powerful company in J City, his actions determined the fate of his company. Although his stocks had not dropped and hug
t wasn't so hard to question Andrew about what had been bothering them.
"Yes. President Lu, you owe us an explanation. Everyone in J City is aware that the Lu Group and the Feng Group are going to come together through your marriage. Why are you with Ashley now?" another man asked.
"Ashley is just a shameless bitch! How dare she seduce the boss when she clearly knew that he was with Miss Feng?" another interrupted.
The employees didn't know whom Ashley was, but they all believed her to be the mistress who had brought trouble to the Lu Group!
They even didn't bother to analyze whether they were right or not.
The senior executives were furious. They believed that the company's reputation had gone down because of Ashley. How could they confirm that Ashley was Andrew's mistress without any evidence? Why didn't they make a detailed investigation before targeting the poor woman?
There was a heated discussion. Andrew's face was red as he watched the commotion in silence. No one had noticed his cold eyes.
Only Kelly kept quiet the whole time. She had noticed how angry Andrew was. Although Kelly disliked people who sought advantages through social relations, sold their bodies to get rewards, she had not doubted Ashley, not for a second. She knew something about Ashley and Andrew's relationship.
