Chapter 15

"You two, what have you done? Don't contact me again, I don't want such disgraceful friends!"

Hearing this, the two models turned pale in shock. 

However, Ivy didn't give them time to explain. She then turned and looked pitifully at Alston.

"I was deceived too. Only now do I know the truth. Just let them apologize and this incident will be over!" 

The two models apologized timidly to Edith and Ashley.

Edith finally smiled in satisfaction. 

Ivy hastily found an excuse and left.

Watching Ivy's departing back, Edith was in a great mood. She then walked behind Tony and lightly patted him. 

"Well done!"

Hearing Edith's praise, Tony was especially excited. 

He then immediately sought credit, "Can't you reward me then? Like accompany me for a meal?"

Before Edith could answer, she was pulled by Alston beside her. 

For some reason, although Alston appeared normal on the surface, Edith felt his mood wasn't good.

"Boyfriend?"

Alston's gaze indicated he was asking if Tony was Edith's boyfriend.

Before Edith could speak, Tony pulled her back to his side from beside Alston. 

Edith was pulled from beside Alston back to Tony's side.

"Alston, you should be able to see our relationship, right?" 

The undertone implied their current relationship was a romantic one. 

Alston's expression darkened further.

"When did you get together?"

Without giving Edith a chance to answer, Tony continued, "We've been together for a while now. Alston, you should wish us well, right?"

Wish well? 

Seeing the two people in front of him now, Alston had no outlet for his anger. 

He would be relieved if the two broke up on the spot. How could he possibly wish them well?

Edith, watching Alston's constantly changing expression beside her, suddenly didn't want to explain anymore. 

She wanted to see Alston's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Alston directly turned and left. 

Alston and Tony came together this time, so Tony hurriedly said goodbye to Edith and followed Alston.

On the way back, Alston remained silent. 

Tony, on the other hand, was intoxicated by Edith's praise earlier. 

It was a long time before Alston spoke, "Not a bad girlfriend!"

Tony grinned, "Right? That's what I think too. It's been a long time since I felt so exhilarated!"

"But I never expected she would actually be with you."

In Alston's heart, Edith didn't seem like someone who would like Tony's type. 

Yet the two were together. 

Alston felt an inexplicable sense of dejection rise in his heart. 

But he hid it well, not letting Tony see.

Tony was in a great mood, "You see, Edith's not bad looking, right? I feel she's more than enough for me!" 

Alston nodded, "Definitely more than enough."

Who didn't know Tony's personality? Alston certainly knew. 

This playboy's heart - any woman entangled with him, Alston would think she was unfortunate. 

And this woman now happened to be Edith. 

Alston's inner feelings went without saying.

On the other side, Ivy returned to the party dejectedly after being publicly humiliated. 

There were some people from the party at the clothing store earlier. Now that incident was already widely known.

Everyone openly or covertly mocked Ivy. 

"Didn't Ivy say Alston liked her? I feel it doesn't seem that way to me!" 

"Yeah, yeah. What person would be so heartless to someone they liked, not only failing to help them but making them apologize to others?"

"In my view, it couldn't be that Ivy has been stubbornly pursuing Alston, but hasn't succeeded even now!"

The mocking voices around her were incessant. 

Ivy's expression turned extremely ugly. She realized this incident must have already spread. 

She didn't want to accept this humiliation. 

So she rushed over to the woman whose voice was loudest in the jeering just now.

"Let me tell you, my relationship with Alston is none of your concern. You'd better mind your own business!"

After saying this, Ivy immediately left the party without a second thought.

This incident humiliated Ivy and made others question her relationship with Alston. 

Just thinking about how Alston protected Edith yesterday filled her with envy that she couldn't suppress.

Could it be that there was really something between Alston and Edith?

Thinking this, Ivy clenched her fists tightly, planning to go find Alston to clarify things the next day.

The next day, Ivy went to Alston's villa first thing in the morning. 

" Miss Ivy?"

"What brings you here?"

The housekeeper hurriedly welcomed Ivy inside. Ivy looked around, "Is Alston here?"

"Alston is at the company now. If you have anything, you can tell me and I'll let Mr. Alston know when he returns!"

Ivy shook her head. 

She didn't want others passing messages for this kind of thing. 

"Edith, this question is really too difficult!"

Jenny's voice came from upstairs. Ivy subconsciously looked up.

However, a face she never expected to see here appeared before her.

"Edith?" 

Ivy was incredulous, never expecting Edith would actually be staying at Alston's house.

There must definitely be something going on between the two. 

Realizing this, Ivy's anger flared up. She glared fiercely at Edith.

In contrast, Jenny didn't seem to notice anything amiss in the atmosphere.

She waved at Ivy from upstairs.

"Sister Ivy? What brings you here?"

Ivy forced a smile, also greeting Jenny. 

Jenny led Edith downstairs like this. Edith didn't have a good expression for Ivy either.

Ivy suppressed her anger and asked, "Jenny, who is this?"

Jenny immediately answered, "This is the home tutor I hired. She's excellent!"

Home tutor?

Those two words felt like a bucket of cold water poured over Ivy's head. 

Ivy finally calmed down.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. 

So it was just a tutor. No wonder she was at Alston's villa.
