Chapter 548 I Won't Let Her Down

Francis got really riled up when Edmund was mentioned.

All he talked about were the negative things that would happen if Ellie did end up together with him.

For instance, Francis argued that Edmund already had a daughter. Ellie would need to look after the kid if she ever got married to Edmund. Moreover, she would be blamed if she didn't treat the kid well.

What would Ellie do if Edmund treated her badly because of it? On the other hand, she had no idea what kind of person Edmund really was.

Leaning forward, Ashley propped her head up with her hand and squinted her eyes at Francis as he spoke.

When Francis was done talking, Ashley smiled slightly. "Francis, do you really think Edmund is as bad as what you described? I've met him once. If you ask me, he seemed like a nice person.

Edmund is a good looking guy with a great temperament. Although he is older than Ellie, he is calmer than you give him credit for, and knows how to love and treat people right.

As for the kid you've mentioned, I think you are referring to Elain. Elain is a sweet girl and she likes Ellie very much. I'm sure they would get along with each other if ever Ellie and Edmund ended up together."

Francis was stunned by Ashley's reply. He was about to say some other crude things about Edmund but then he forgot. How could it be that Ashley had already met Edmund? And it seemed that he even made a good impression on her!

"Oh, please! Don't be deceived by the pure and noble facade he's putting up! Edmund is by no means the right guy for Ellie," Francis snorted, leaning back on his chair with his arms folded across his chest.

"So who's the right guy for Ellie then? You?" Ashley asked, raising an eyebrow.

Francis nodded incredulously. "Yes, of course it's me! Ashley, you can rest assured that I will take good care of Ellie. I will not be so unreasonable as before and will give my whole heart to her from th

omorrow on, Ashley will disappear from J City and never come back!"

"Well, that's good. By the way, we must do it quickly and discreetly. We can't let Andrew find out anything about this. When Ashley leaves tomorrow, we need to remove every single trace of her existence."

"Got it," Arya affirmed.

Susie just came in at this time and heard what her father said to her mother. She seemed to have heard Ashley's name.

Now her own interest was aroused.

"Father, mother, what are you talking about? I heard Ashley's name just now. Did something happen to her?"

Susie said in an elated tone. She couldn't be happier if Ashley was in trouble.

She still remembered how Ellie slapped her in the villa!

Although it was Ellie who slapped her, Susie hated Ashley with all her heart!

Ashley and Ellie were good friends, and the reason why Ellie slapped her was because of Ashley.

When Arya saw Susie, a smile appeared on her face. She immediately called Susie to her side. "Susie, come here," Arya said lovingly.

Susie walked up to her parents. "What happened?" she asked again.

"I have some good news for you," Arya said, smiling from ear to ear.

Susie leaned in closer, her interest piquing at her mother's words. "What good news? Is it about Ashley?"
