The girls exchanged looks of surprise, then broke into excited grins.
âSeriously? Yvie, youâre amazing!â
They chirped, though the idea seemed too farâfetched to be true. Everyone knew Ashton was famously conservative with his image, never flaunting his physique like other male celebrities.
However, they trusted Yvette. She wasnât one to make empty promises, and when she said sheâd do something, she meant it. Their anticipation only grew.
Watching from the sidelines, Alice couldnât help but sneer. âWhat a joke. Just because youâve got money doesnât mean Ashton will strip for you.â
Ashton was a top celebrity now, so there was no way Yvette could buy him off with a sum of money.
âYouâre really something, arenât you? No one asked for your opinion, but here you are, spewing garbage,â Madison shot back.
Yvette remained calm, but the approving gleam in her eyes suggested she had Madisonâs back.
Aliceâs face twisted in anger, but she didnât dare respond. All she could do was swallow her curses as she silently fumed.
Even Madison, a girl from an average family, dared to stand up to her now. If her family hadnât gone bankrupt, Alice would never have let these nobodies get away with insulting her like this.
Meanwhile, Ashton was overjoyed when he saw Yvetteâs name flash on his phone screen. He didnât expect her to call him.
It seemed like Ashton still held a special place in Yvetteâs heart. He wasnât just her cash cow. Yvette cared about him, he was sure of it.
Feeling both flattered and relieved, Ashton answered the call immediately.
âYvie, Iâve missed you so much!â he exclaimed.
Lately, heâd been swamped with concert tours. He barely spent time at home, let alone found time to accompany his beloved sister.
Yvette couldnât help but smile, a warm feeling spreading through her as she heard his voice. âI havenât spent much time with you lately. Adam is not your favorite brother now, is he?â Ashton grumbled, recalling the bragging photos Adam had sent him recently.
âI must always be your favorite brother! Iâm out here working my butt off to earn money for you, so you canât like Adam more than you like me.â
âOf course. Youâre the best!â Yvette soothed Ashton to keep him happy. After all, he was the companyâs golden goose, and she still needed him to keep raking in the cash.
âSo, whatâs up? What do you need from me?â Ashton eagerly asked, his mood instantly lifted.
âI need a few photos of your abs.â
Ashton blushed slightly at the odd request. Though he was embarrassed, heâd do anything for her. If she wanted pictures of his abs, sheâd get them, no questions asked.
âSure thing, Yvie! Iâll send them over right away!â
Yvette nodded, her tone nonchalant. âTake a few extra. They are for my classmates.â
âGot it!â Ashton nodded obediently, unable to refuse anything Yvette asked of him.
A few moments later, Ashton sent over the ab shots, and Yvetteâs classmates squealed in delight, their excitement palpable.
âOh my gosh, are these really Ashtonâs abs?â
âWow! Just as I imaginedâhis body is perfect! So hot!â
As their chatter filled the room, Yvetteâs mind wandered to a different set of abs altogether. It was defined, and dangerously tempting.
