Chapter 163: Inject Courage
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
George Walton took out a card. “I’ll compensate you a hundredfold for the broken coffee cups.” It was just a few coffee cups. This bit of money was not money.
The waiter’s gaze fell on Ashley Sheen. “This lady is…”
George Walton said, “Do you want to interfere in personal grudges?”
The waiter quickly shook his head and took a step back to close the door. “I’m sorry to disturb you.”
Amelia looked at George Walton in admiration and praised him. “Uncle, you’re the best!”
Ashley Sheen did not know how she got home. Her head was buzzing. Amelia had only told her briefly that there was a ghost on her. She was a cowardly ghost called Joe Brown. Now that the cowardly ghost had been captured, Ashley Sheen’s legs were still weak. She turned on her cell phone and searched for Joe Brown’s name. Finally, she found the news from ten years ago. The news said that this boy called Joe Brown was bullied on the way home from school. Because of his silent personality, his parents only found out after he died that he had been bullied in school until his internal organs bled and he died…
Ashley Sheen shivered and subconsciously grabbed the jade pendant hanging around her neck. This jade pendant was given to her by Amelia. When she gave it to her, she even said, “Aunt Ashley, Mia has already captured the ghost. This jade pendant has been injected with courage by Mia. I hope that Auntie will shine brightly in the future and advance bravely!’
Amelia’s words echoed in Ashley Sheen’s ears. She rubbed the jade pendant. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt her cold body slowly warming up. At this moment, the door opened. Her husband and mother-in-law returned, followed by her second aunt and the little girl,
Dandan.
As soon as Dandan returned, she ran to the fridge to get a drink without washing her hands, leaving black handprints all over the fridge. When her mother-in-law saw Ashley Sheen sitting in the living room, her face sank and she slammed the door shut.
Ashley Sheen’s husband’s face darkened as well. He said unhappily, “Ashley,
what’s wrong with you? Why didn’t you want to look at houses with us? You ran home yourself! And you’re even giving people a hard time!”
Ashley Sheen’s husband was very unhappy. He felt that Ashley Sheen was not giving him face by throwing a tantrum in front of his relatives. Beside him, his second aunt was still causing trouble. “Aiya, Ashley, your temper is too bad. Why are you angry just because I raised a suggestion? If you don’t want us to get involved, just say it. We’re not doing this for your own good. Don’t forget that you used to work in a supermarket. If you hadn’t been lucky enough to earn some money these few years, you wouldn’t be able to live your current life. You can earn money now, but it doesn’t mean that you can earn money in the future. Isn’t letting you buy a smaller and cheaper house for your own good?”
Ashley Sheen’s husband took out the cell phone key and threw it on the coffee table. He placed his feet on the coffee table and said to Ashley Sheen like an old man, “That’s right. Second Aunt makes sense. Also, you get paid today, right? Remember to transfer it to my bank account so that you don’t spend money recklessly again.”
Second Aunt nodded in agreement. Ashley Sheen’s mother-in-law had already told her that Ashley Sheen would spend more than a hundred yuan to buy a facial mask. She did not understand women were already married and had children. Why would they still buy skincare products and cosmetics? Wouldn’t they be the same when they got old?
On the sofa, Ashley Sheen did not say a word. She took out her cell phone and logged into the cell phone bank. All these years, her royalties had been transferred to her husband and stored in his bank card. Every month, when the royalties were distributed, her husband understood how much money was distributed for each book better than her. Then, he transferred the money cleanly and even said that he would help her keep it, afraid that she would spend money recklessly. In the past, Ashley Sheen did not care about this. After all, husband and wife, it was the same no matter who cared about money. But now?
Ashley felt that Amelia was right. She could spend the money she earned however she wanted! No one else had the right to criticize her! On the coffee table, Ashley’s husband’s phone rang. Ashley immediately picked it up. After looking at the verification code, she entered the transfer and instantly, millions of yuan in savings were transferred to her card!
Ashley’s husband was still frowning. “Ashley! I’m talking to you! Why are you taking my cell phone!”
Ashley sneered and threw the phone in her husband’s face. “You eat my food, drink my drinks, and spend my money. You want me to transfer all my money to you? Dream on!” She pointed at the door. “Also, I’m buying the house and I’m paying the money. I have the final say. Aren’t you tired of talking about this and that? If you keep nagging, get lost!”
The little girl, Dandan, leaned against the coffee table and drank milk. She was naughty and kept moving around while drinking. The milk spilled all over the coffee table..
