Chapter 273 * Heartless woman *

She wore a black mask and eyewear and also packed another pack for

Amy. Amy was an effortless girl, never wore something like this when

going shopping, but Kate knows now that it involves her with Alex, and

everything is going to change.

After getting ready, they left the mansion, Rose was driving, and Nina

sat in the front seat with Rose, Kate and Noah sat behind.

In front, two cars and behind 2 followed them; Max himself came with

them, Max was the main security ladder and ex-military. He's the most

dangerous guy among bodyguards, and David trusts him very much.

David always puts Kate's safety at Max when he is not around.

They picked up Amy, who also had the same reaction seeing them as

Kate,

“Are you going on a secret mission? She joked around.

"Something like that," Kate answered.

Amy sat next to Noah. “Hi, prince.”

“Hi, bunny” Noah smiled but politely; he only giggles around his mom,

David, and now Kate.

Kate thought they were going to the mall, but unexpectedly Rose drove

toward a familiar but unfamiliar.

Kate felt strange but couldn't remember where it was. But when Rose

finally parked the car in front of a Villa, she knew where they were.

“Why are we here? Kate asked Rose.

“We're for something important,” Rose answered,

“Brother, send us here, he said a designer is staying here, also brother

friend, so we're here to order some dresses for us, we will leave for

shopping after giving our measurements,” Nina answered.

Kate pouted; her meeting with Ashley was a little weird, so she felt a

little uncomfortable, but hearing Ashley was a designer, Kate sighed in

relief.

David mentioned everything about Ashley and her reason, so she

forgives everything, but hearing how Ashley broke her lover's heart,

Kate felt a little angry; a man loved her so much, yet this girl gave up on

such a precious loving person.

But she doesn’t want to comment on their relationship; she did it with

her private life.

After leaving the car, they pressed the calling bell, and that old maid

came out; seeing the maid, Kate frowned at her eyebrows but did not

show it on her face,

Seeing them, the maid hurriedly opened the gate and welcomed them

“welcome, Mrs. Xiver” this time, she greeted Kate first. After the last

incident, she knew what Kate meant to David; even their Miss had to

take Mr. Xiver's help to stay in this city. Still, he placed his wife before

himself, so obviously, they knew what this meant; if you anger Kate

David Xiver,

David Xiver will handle your luck, so it's better to be aware of your

mouth and eyes.

Kate was not a petty person, so she just nodded without caring about

the maid. After the maid leads everyone inside the mansion, as they

enter, they come face to face with Ashley.

Seeing them, Nina and Rose's mouth hung open like a water tank, too

broad.

They were in shock.

“What the hell? Both of them asked Kate didn't expect such a big

reaction from them; it seems they are Ashley.

Only Noah and Amy were confused, what's going on here.

Amy tugged Kate's hand and asked her, “what's going on with them?

Why do they look like they are in shock? Amy whispered in Kate's ear.

Kate whispered back in Amy's ear, “they know her; it's a long story; I'll

tell you later.”

Amy nodded,

“Hi, kiddos” Ashley waved her hands at them, but Rose and Nina were

too shocked to respond to her.

“What are you doing here? Rose asked as she walked closer to her.

Ashley stood up and approached them. She pulled Nina and Rose into

a tight hug. “Long time no see,” she sounded a little emotional.

Rose and Nina hugged her back; they were too excited but

disappointed.

After a while, Ashley let go of them and looked at their face “are you

two not happy seeing me? Why did you two look like they wanted to

wash me in a washing machine? She giggled.

Rose smothered her nose “you are a heartless woman, yet you dare to

ask us if we want to wash you or not, don't you know the answer

already? Rose sharply. She was angry.

“Rose left it” Nina was an understanding woman; she knew Ashley

might have her reason for doing that.

“Please, sis, what she did beyond forgiveness, now she is back so

suddenly” Rose was not angry that she came back but angry that she

dared to reveal herself after so long.

“Huh, pinkish Rose looks furious; how about I make a beautiful dress

for you? Will you forgive me” Ashley coaxed Rose in her way; she is

older than Rose and Nina; Ashley is like their older sister, and she

knows these two better than anyone.

Rose glared at Ashley “do you think you can bribe me with your so-

called talent? Did he know you're here” Rose dragged the critical point

because she doesn’t want to fall into Ashley's trap?

When Rose mentioned that Ashley's face turned sour, they only cared

about him yet blamed her, but whom can she blame? It was their own

decision.

“Huh, my brother knows whom to anger us with; he dares to send us

you for our dresses even knowing everything; let him come back; I'm

going for a serious conversation with him. He dares to hide such an

important matter from us,” Rose said, still angry.

Kate shook her head; it seems this girl also hurt everyone's feelings

with her lover.

But she stayed out of it and let these three handle their old matter,

But no matter how long they scold Ashley, she stays mum, as if she

doesn't have any reason to defend herself.

Everyone thinks of her as a self-centered woman, but she kept herself

in a shield and her excuse as a secret. Suddenly seeing her eyes, Kate

felt Ashley hiding an unknown pain inside her,
