As soon as she walked out of the room, Teresa ran into Jerome.
"Good morning, brother."
She turned her face away in a hurry. She didn't want Jerome to see her current look.
"Good morning."
Puzzled, Jerome took a look at Abby and followed her. He wanted to have breakfast with her together.
In the dining room, Albert and Gavin had already sat there, talking about something.
"Good morning, dad. Good morning, Uncle Gavin. I'm going out now."
"Hey, Abby, don't you have breakfast?"
"No, Dad."
Teresa tried her best to cover her face with her bag and escaped from the Gu Family. Albert narrowed
his eyes and thought, 'What's wrong with this girl today. Why is she acting so out of whack today? She
even covered her face with her bag.'
"She is so ill-bred!"
Teresa was in such a hurry that she didn't see Ashley sitting on the other side at all. Ashley looked
coldly at Teresa who was walking farther and farther away. But Albert was not pleased to hear his wife
say such a thing about his daughter.
"You said she is ill-bred? She is our daughter! She is taught and educated by us! Don't speak without
thinking."
"Humph, I have never given birth to such a bitch like her."
"What are you talking about in the early morning?"
Ashley's face was distorted because of anger when she looked at furious Albert. Albert was so angry
that he broke the teacup in his hand. Ashley couldn't stand it anymore and stood up suddenly.
"What? Am I not telling the truth? Only you take that bitch as a treasure. If it weren't for that woman,
could you take that bitch into the Gu Family?"
Clap!
Albert slapped on Ashley's face. Both Jerome and Gavin were stunned. They had been with Albert for
so many years. Albert had never slapped his own wife, no matter how outrageous and bad her words.
But today, Albert might really be angry with Ashley.
He slapped her in front of his old friend, child and servants. The servants had stayed in the Gu Family
for many years, and they all lowered their heads and silently left the restaurant. They'd better not listen
to or look at the master's affairs.
"How dare you! How dare you slapped me for that bitch? Albert, I will never let it go easily."
Ashley was on the verge of breaking down. She smashed everything she could reach. Albert stood still,
looking at his wife with his chest rising and falling. Albert's face was as cold as ice, and Gavin trembled
all over. He hadn't seen Albert like this for a long time. Gavin knew clearly in his heart that Albert was
really angry.
"Dad? Mom? What are you two doing? Abby is a member of our Gu Family. Mom. Why are you angry
with dad?"
After saying that, Jerome stepped forward to comfort his mother. Gavin stood beside Albert and gently
patted his old friend on the shoulder. Albert took the crutch beside him.
"Ashley, I'll make it clear to you today. Next time, if you dare to talk nonsense like this, I'll kick you out of
the Gu Family. I'm a man of my word."
After saying that, Albert left with his crutch. Ashley was stunned and burst into tears. Sure enough, he
had that woman in his heart. Even if that woman had died for so many years, he still dared to protect
her in front of her. She had been in the Gu Family for so many years, and in the end, she did not even
have the right to scold that woman's daughter.
"Ha-ha, Jerome, did you see that? That's your dad. He said he would kick me out of the Gu Family for
a woman who had died a long time ago? Okay, I'm leaving now."
"Mom, dad said that out of anger. How can you take it seriously?"
Ashley wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and sneered. 'He said it out of anger? Of course
not. That was what he really meant. Since there is no room for me in this family, I will go now!' She
turned around and went back to her room to pack up her things. Did he think she couldn't live without
the Gu Family? At this moment, Thomasina Dong, the servant who had been responsible for Ashley's
diet and daily life, saw this and said.
"Ms. Ashley, what are you doing? Please stop."
Thomasina Dong grew up with Ashley, and Thomasina Dong's mother was also a servant in Ashley's
home. It could be said that Ashley had drunk the breast milk of Thomasina Dong's mother.
"Can't you see there's no room for me in this family?"
"Ms. Ashley, why are you so silly? That's why you should stay here. Look at Mr. Jerome and Ms. Lena.
They are all on Abigale's side. If you leave, Abigale will become the one who have the last word. By
that time, I'm afraid you will really lose your position in this family."
Ashley was stunned. She stopped packing and turned to look at Thomasina Dong.
"What do you mean?"
"Ms. Ashley, why did you piss Mr. Albert off because of Abigale? Don't you know Mr. Albert's temper?
What's more, Abigale will only stay in the Gu Family for a few days. After a few days, there will be no
such a person in the Gu Family anymore. The most important thing is that she married into the Shen
Family and married to the master of the TH Group. Mr. Albert must want to make the company
cooperate with the TH Group. If you do this now, won't you suffer a loss?"
"You mean I have to endure it?"
"How could it be possible? We can..."
Thomasina Dong whispered in Ashley's ear for a while. Ashley's eyes lit up and the corners of her
mouth raised. It was a good idea. She turned around and patted Thomasina Dong's hand.
"For so many years, I'm so lucky to have you by my side."
"It is my pleasure to be with you. Ms. Ashley."
After being comforted by Thomasina Dong, Ashley thought what Thomasina Dong said was
reasonable. However, she still wanted to vent her anger. Thomasina Dong knew Ashley so much. As
long as Ashley gave her a look, she could know what Ashley was thinking.
"Ms. Ashley, we can't hurt Abigale now, but she has a friend by her side, doesn't she?"
"You mean?"
"Don't worry, Ms. Ashley. I will handle it."
Ashley didn't say anything more and nodded. After Thomasina Dong went out, she asked the servants
of the Gu Family to prepare the breakfast for Ashley and then she brought breakfast into the room.
Leaving the room again, Thomasina Dong raised her head and looked at the ceiling of the Gu family.
She thought in her heart, 'Oh, stupid woman. Every time I said a few words, Ashley would listen to me
obediently. Who on earth is the master? It is so ridiculous. The most important thing was that my son
was no worse than Jerome.
It seems that after this matter is settled, it is time for me to have a talk with Ashley and ask her to let my
son get a position in the company. Wait and see, Ashley. One day, I will stand in your position, trample
on you, and humiliate you.'
