For nearly ten days, Ash did not see Calvert again. She was not used to it since she had often run into Calvert. One night, she suddenly wanted to contact Calvert to ask him what he was doing.
Ash thought she must be at loose ends to have thought about all kinds of messy things.
“Sweetie, Jade has a small meet–and–greet today. Do you want to go and take a look?” asked Brooke. Ash had just come downstairs early in the morning when she saw Brooke had put on makeup and was dressed casually and exquisitely.
Ash waved her hand and sneered in her heart, ‘I’m not that close to Jade. Out of sight, out of mind. If I meet with Jade too often, Jade will start causing trouble again. I don’t have the patience to spoil her‘
Brooke did not insist. “Okay, I will go then. Jade filmed a short drama earlier and now has a fan base. She said some fan club had organized a small meeting. It will take about an hour.”
“Oh.” Ash was not interested in Jade.
Brooke thought Ash was angry and jealous. The smile on her face gradually faded. “Ash, I’m afraid Jade… After all, she just came out of the hospital not long ago. I…”
Ash said calmly, “Mom, it’s okay. You don’t have to explain all this to me. It’s fine. You have your life and your arrangements. She’s your daughter, too. I understand all that.”
The more Ash said so, the more guilty Brooke felt. “Okay, Ash, I see. Dorothy just sent some pastries over early in the morning.”
Ash was surprised. “Dorothy?”
Brooke nodded. “You haven’t visited Dorothy recently, have you? No matter what, Dorothy loves you from the bottom of her heart. You should visit her occasionally.”
Recently, Calvert had not been hanging around. Ash was also busy with the game company and had forgotten about Dorothy. She immediately felt guilty.
Ash was a person of action. Immediately after she received the news, she quickly dressed up and went to the Snider family. When she walked through the door, she realized there were fewer servants.
She looked around and felt a little puzzled. She saw Dorothy watering the flowers with a watering can. “Dorothy.”
Ash thought Dorothy was alone, but when she got closer, she saw Vania was also unwillingly watering the flowers. Vania asked ironically, “What are you doing here?”
“Stupid girl, Ash is Calvert’s fiancee. She will be part of this family soon. Why can’t she come?” Dorothy raised her hand and knocked Vania’s head lightly.
Vania put the watering can on the ground and covered her head unhappily. “Grandma, it hurts. Do you still remember I’m your biological granddaughter? Why are you always so good to Ash?”
“Apologize to Ash.” Dorothy thought Vania was spoiled rotten. And Vania’s temper came at the drop of a hat. “Even if Ash is not your future sister–in–law, she’s still a guest I invited. Do you realize you are being rude?”
Seeing Dorothy getting angry, Vania did not dare to mutter anything. She lowered her head and said reluctantly in a muffled voice, “I’m sorry. What I said just now was rude.”
A smile appeared on Ash’s lips. She glanced at Vania indifferently and finally locked her gaze on Dorothy. “It’s fine, Dorothy. I know Vania always acts like a child.”
Upon hearing that, Vania almost lost control of her emotions and wanted to say something. She forcefully endured it and

squeezed out the words from between her teeth, ‘Grandma. I’m tired. I’m going to take a break in my room”
After Vania left, Dorothy sighed silently. “Ash, Vania is spoiled to the core. Please don’t take her words to heart. She meant no harm
Ash nodded. She knew Vania had the same personality as Caspian from her own family. Vania and Caspian were both brainless and liked to hear sweet nothings. They both fell for Jade’s sugared words.
Ash smiled. “Dorothy, you don’t have to explain it. I won’t take Vania’s words to heart. She thinks that I’m better than her. That’s it.”
“Forget it, let’s drop this. I realized there are fewer servants in the house today. What happened?” Ash asked.
Dorothy’s expression changed slightly. “Here’s the thing. A while ago, there was a mole in the house. I found a surveillance camera under a vase in the main building.”
“Calvert was on a business trip. I didn’t want to disturb him, so I arranged for someone to investigate it. All the relevant personnel were fired,” Dorothy said calmly.
As expected, Ash’s intuition was right. Something bad must have happened since so many people had suddenly disappeared.
Dorothy continued, “However, it’s no big deal. Anyway, it’s hard to guard against the moles. It’s just that we don’t know who they’re installing the surveillance camera for. I checked the valuables later and found we didn’t lose anything precious. We’ll make a decision when Calvert comes home.”
At that moment, the sun was shining brightly. Dorothy’s face was pale from the sun. Ash reached out to take Dorothy’s pulse, frowning.
The surveillance incident had caused Dorothy to feel depressed. She had a poor circulation of blood, and her heart was beating either too fast or slowly.
Ash supported Dorothy and said gently, “Dorothy, don’t worry about this for now. The sun is too bright. Let’s go in and rest.” “Ash, is my health declining again?” Dorothy had been panting heavily for the past two days and always felt tired.
Ash smiled and shook her head. “Dorothy, don’t sweat it. You’re just a little dizzy from the sun. Have you forgotten what I told you before? You can sunbathe, but not for too long.
“There’s nothing wrong with your health. Don’t worry. Have you been taking the pills?” Ash said, thinking she had to find an opportunity to make a specific medicine for Dorothy.
After all, Dorothy was aging and lacked a lot of elements in her body. Without Ash’s specific medicine, Dorothy’s recovery would probably be slow.
Dorothy’s heart calmed down a little. “Ash, don’t tell Vania about the camera thing for now. I’m afraid she’ll be scared and even investigate some things by herself if she finds out.
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about this for now. Come in with me. I’ve got someone to make a few outfits according to your measurements. See if you like them. If you like them, I’ll tell them to make more clothes for you.”
Ash thought Dorothy would mention the wedding dress again, but fortunately, they were just ordinary clothes for everyday wear. “Thanks, Dorothy, but you shouldn’t have done so. My mother bought me a lot of clothes at home. The cloakroom is full. I can’t wear that many.”
Dorothy smiled. “Those are from your mother. It’s different from mine. I’m getting old. I don’t know if my taste is good. If you don’t like them, I’ll have the tailor make new ones.”
Ash agreed and helped Dorothy to the side house. As soon as she entered, she realized she was too naive. An entire row of

“Um… Dorothy, are you sure they are not wedding dresses?” Ash asked in shock.
