“What?” Jade’s shocked voice cut through the e room. “Are you telling me that Ash and Calvert were alone together in a room! And they spent the whole afternoon there?”
Oh, don’t be so dramatic. I only told you because I consider you a close friend. In my heart, you’re the rightful match for my brother, Vania Snider consoled her.
Vania and Jade had always gotten along well, and until this point, she had assumed Jade would eventually become her sister-
Jade took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, her tone softening. Tm sorry. I care too much about Calvert. You know how I feel about him….“
It’s okay. If it were me, I might feel even worse.” Vania didn’t mind Jade’s earlier outburst but instead reminded her. Because of this, Grandma plans to send someone to your house to propose a marriage formally. Be prepared mentally
Propose marriage? To Ash? Does she really think she deserves him? Jade clenched her fists so tightly she felt no pain as her nails dug into her skin. Not only did she take my parents away from me, but now she also wants to take the only man I
have…
Thank you for the heads–up. I’ll figure something out,” Jade said softly.
After hanging up the phone, a cunning gleam flashed in her eyes. Calvert is mine; no one can take him away.”
The next morning. Ash was about to go downstairs for breakfast when she noticed the table was empty. Puzzled by the unusual delay, she wondered if the staff was running late.
“Ash, you’re finally up. Come and see the breakfast I made for you, Jade said with a bright smile, emerging from the kitchen holding a sandwich..
Ash raised her eyebrows, arms crossed, and gave a noncommittal smirk without responding. What’s she up to now? I can’t believe she’d be so nice!
Jade got up at four in the morning to make this breakfast for you. Aren’t you going to accept it?” Caspian came out from behind her, holding a less appealing–looking meal, his expression reproachful.
“Caspian, if Ash doesn’t want to eat it, that’s fine. I just wanted to get along with her better by making breakfast, Jade said, looking down so her face was hidden, her tone slightly apologetic
Ash glanced at the wall clock; it was seven–thirty in the morning, meaning Jade had spent three and a half hours making two pieces of bread with a fried egg and some salad–dressed vegetables.
“Ash, I’m sorry for everything that happened before. I hope you can forgive me.” Jade’s tone grew softer, her head lowered further.
Just then, Josh walked in after finishing his morning workout. Learning what had transpired, he appeared somewhat relieved, “I’ll call your mom over. She’ll be so happy to see you two getting along.”
Josh and Brooke had been worried about the relationship between their daughters. Since Jade, who had done wrong, was the first to apologize, it seemed like the best outcome possible.

Ash reached out to take the plate from her hand, saying softly, “Thanks”
I’m glad you accepted my apology,” Jade said, heading back into the kitchen to bring out breakfast for everyone else, inviting them to try her cooking.
Seeing this, Ash lowered her guard a bit. If Jade can truly stop causing trouble, then perhaps we can get along as sisters. Now that she was back in the Turner family, constantly bumping into each other, she didn’t want to cause her parents any
distress.
Discreetly checking the food for poison, Ash took a few bites.
Brooke, dressed elegantly, came downstairs and praised upon seeing the scene, Jade, you’re so sensible.”
Jade smiled brightly, though not deeply. I did the work of a servant, and not only does Mom not sympathize with me, but she actually praises me… Indeed, I’m not her real daughter… But none of that matters; without family, so be it. All I need is
Calvert
Thanks to Jewel, I never expected the bank card she gave me actually had 350 thousand dollars in it. Dexter’s face showed a lot less dejection after paying the final payment.
With this money, the company could continue to run for a while longer.
“We raised her for so long; it was only natural” Lorelei also breathed a sigh of relief. However, when it came to Jewel, the daughter she once had, her expression still looked somewhat troubled
“Anyway, this time she helped us out of a tight spot. After all these years, it wasn’t for nothing. Maybe we should ask her about the company’s situation again. Dexter began to consider.
Lorelei agreed, “If she really has a way to completely solve the company’s crisis, bringing her back wouldn’t be a bad idea.”
Seeing that both parents have improved their attitude toward Ash due to this matter, Samantha suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Ash helped the family so much, will Dad and Mom really want to bring her back?
“Ash is really impressive. The other day Tristan and I met her at a bridal store, she found a new boyfriend who looks older than Dad. I guess this money must be from her boyfriend.” Samantha casually reminded, “Last time we were kicked out at the Turner family dinner party, it seemed like it was also her doing. She seems to have many powerful friends.”
“Calling them friends is one thing, but if you say it harshly, she’s just being kept by others.” Lorelei’s tone worsened. “Samantha, don’t follow in her footsteps and get involved with such things.”
Hearing this, Dexter’s face turned dark and his voice became harsh. “If you dare to do such things, I’ll beat you to death. The Moreno family doesn’t have daughters like that.”
Hearing this, Samantha’s mood finally stabilized. She promised, “I definitely won’t do such a thing”
At the door of Shadow Ventures, Ash stepped out of a Maybach car.
Tristan’s eyes lit up and he ran over immediately. “Ash, I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time. You finally showed up.” Her beautiful eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, “What are you doing here?”
“I came to find you.” “Tristan’s gaze drified behind Shadow Ventures, his tone becoming more determined. “The things before were all my fault. It was Samantha who seduced me. I didn’t mean to. Can you give me another chance, please?” He

pleaded, his eyes full of deep affection.
However, seeing him like this now, Ash felt disgusted. “It takes two hands to clap. How can you live with yourself after saying such things?”
He was just flaunting his love for Samantha not long ago, and now… Besides, why is he suddenly clinging to me again? Ash was puzzled.
e was the real daughter of the Moreno family, and on top “Before, it was Samantha that bitch who deceived me. She said she of that, my family forced me to be with her, which made me lose my head and do something wrong to you.”
“Oh!” Her brow twitched. “Why do you suddenly wake up now?”
I found out everything. You are the person in charge of Shadow Ventures. Why didn’t you tell me sooner!” Tristan said as he reached out to hug her. “Your status is worthy of me. My family definitely won’t stop us from being together anymore.”
