Chapter 540 Could Not Think Of The Name

What was happening to her today?

Ashley didn't know how many hours it had been since she locked herself in her room to weep. Claire had come in a few times to check on her, but Ashley didn't give her the briefest glances. Ashley was so empty and lost that all she could do was cry. When she got too tired, she slept.

Claire sighed as she sat by Ashley's bed again and watched the woman sleep. If only Mr. Lu knew what was happening to her, he would be very upset.

She tucked a loose hair strand behind the sleeping woman's ear and left.

As soon as the door shut, Ashley tried to open her eyes. They were so sore and crusty that Ashley had to blink the pain away. It wasn't even a minute after she woke up that her tears began to fall once again.

She shifted and hugged herself tighter in bed as she cried herself to sleep.

It was already past noon when she woke up again. She felt that she couldn't open her eyes no matter how hard she tried. She stood from the bed and felt around until she reached the bathroom door. It was only then when she realized that her eyes were open, but they were severely swollen.

Ashley didn't expect her eyes to look so swollen after she cried the entire night.

She had to treat her eyes later.

After fixing herself as best as she can, she walked downstairs to grab some ice from the refrigerator. She leaned on the counter and placed the ice cubes over her eyes, blinking from the sudden coldness.

From the dining room, Claire emerged with a tray in hand. She didn't realize that Ashley was already out of bed.

Claire was about to call her until she noticed what Ashley was doing. She slowly walked up to her and asked what she was doing. Her voice was laced with concern.

Ashley smiled as she blinked because of the melting ice. "Oh, I'm fine. I think my eyes have swollen a bit so I'm trying to relieve them."

Claire placed the tray on the counter behind her and ushered Ashley to the living room sofa. "Mrs. Lu, sit still. I'll go get a fresh towel and some more ice cubes for you," she said as she took the melting ice cubes from Ashley's hands. Ashley's eyes were far too swollen for anyone to ignore.

Ashley

J City now knew that Ashley was the Lady of the Lu group and the Lu family!

But they were too terrified to say anything about it.

Andrew had already warned them beforehand to get out of their way. Otherwise, Andrew would threaten to leave the Lu family forever.

Andrew's threats shocked Ethan and Arya because they were both relying on Andrew. He was the best person to manage the Lu group and he was able to develop the company well. But since Andrew managed the entire company, Ethan had little to no say about the company policies.

This was why Arya and Ethan had to be careful before acting on a decision.

Every time Arya went out shopping or hung out with her friends, her friends would pry about the matter regarding Ashley.

Although they said that they envy Arya, Arya was clearly aware about what they wanted to say behind her back!

What a despicable daughter-in-law!

Ashley was so simple that she was even more inferior than a second-class person.

Arya was always so embarrassed whenever her friends would talk about her daughter-in-law. Ashley was such a scandalous woman to her and her friends.

This was why Arya never invited her friends to go out again.

When Ashley called this time, all Arya wanted to do was scream at her.

Ethan held a hand in front of Arya and stopped her from saying something again. After all, Ashley would only call for two things and two things only.

Had Ashley made up her mind?
