1919: Chapter 1913: This account, I must settle 1919: Chapter 1913: This account, I must settle Lady Parker raised her head, and when she saw the expressionless, handso face of the young man in front of her and the gaze like frosty ice coming at her, she couldn’t help being shocked.
This was not her first ti eting Ashton Heath.
Although in their previous encounters, he always appeared cold and indifferent, he had still shown manners.
He didn’t give off the intimidating and chilling feeling he did now.
Even in her own ho, Lady Parker felt a sense of helplessness.
“Ashton, are you here to see Frank?” Lady Parker took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and said in a calm tone, “Unfortunately, Frank has been away from ho these past few days.”
Ashton Heath’s gaze was cold as he stared at Lady Parker for a few seconds before saying icily, “Lady Parker, I’m here to see you.”
Lady Parker was shocked again, her heart pounding violently.
Struggling to stabilize her emotions, her eyes flickered as she asked, “You want to see ?
Do you have sothing to discuss with ?”
“Ashton, please sit down first.
We can talk about whatever it is slowly.” Lady Parker then called to the maid nearby, “Why don’t you go make Mr.
Ashton a cup of coffee?
What are you standing there for?”
“Lady Parker, there’s no need.” Ashton Heath looked right into her eyes, which clearly showed a hint of guilt.
His deep eyes narrowed, and he unceremoniously asked directly, “I am here to ask you about sothing, Lady Parker.
I want to know what my wife Joanna Lawrence did to offend you, to make you do such a thing to her.”
“What?
Joanna Lawrence is your wife?” Lady Parker’s face changed dramatically as she asked, “You and her…you two got married?!”
Lady Parker’s face showed extre shock.
Ashton Heath’s gaze fixed on her with a cold expression, “Before you targeted my wife, didn’t you investigate her background thoroughly?
The treasure of the White family, my beloved spouse, almost destroyed by Lady Parker’s hands.
Are you trying to make enemies with both the Heath and White families?”
Before Lady Parker could recover from the shock of Joanna’s marriage to Ashton Heath, she was struck by the revelation that Joanna was a daughter of the White family.
With an incredulous expression on her face, she stamred, “What did you say?
Joanna is the daughter of the White family?
But aren’t they still looking for…”
“That’s right, she’s the daughter the White family has been looking for.
My in-laws finally found their precious daughter, only for her to be trampled by Lady Parker?”
“The treasure I, Ashton Heath, hold in the palm of my hand and cherish so much that I can’t even bring myself to raise my voice at her, is to be trampled by Lady Parker?”
Lady Parker was so shocked that she couldn’t even speak a single word.
Of course, she had sent soone to investigate Joanna beforehand, thinking she had no significant background, and as such, dared to proceed with her plan.
If she had known earlier that Joanna was already married to Ashton Heath and was the long-lost daughter of the White family, she would never have committed such an act unless she had lost her mind.
“No, Ashton.
There must be a misunderstanding in this matter,” Lady Parker hastily explained.
“I didn’t know she was married to you.
If I had known earlier…”
“So, because you didn’t know, you could let soone do that to her?” Ashton Heath’s gaze grew colder.
“I don’t care if there’s any misunderstanding.
All I care about is the result.
Lady Parker, what you did caused significant harm to my wife, and for that, I must settle the score.”
