Chapter 191

Jade’s two biggest fans were Caspian and Alison. She had long been manipulating those mindless, soft–hearted siblings from the Turner family.

The corners of Jade’s lips curled up. “But doesn’t it seem unfair? I mean, I was the one recommending you at that time, and it was all my fault. I shouldn’t have meddled in my sister’s business.

‘Because you have some experience in the related field, I thought you could cooperate well with her. I’m sorry, I thought too naively, and you suffered a lot.”

Alison shook her head and denied, “No, she just wants to drive me away, thinking I have so little ability. But I’ll prove her wrong.”

Alison secretly made up her mind. “No matter what, I will hold on. I’ll show Ash that she hasn’t won. She’s just lucky.”

Jade, when do you have the time to visit the family? I miss you, you don’t know how much Ash is showing off in my family

now.

Are you coming back for the family reunion this week? I remember you were the champion of the shooting competition a few years ago. You must participate this year and show that woman some color!”

ade twirled her hair. She would have almost forgotten about it if Alison hadn’t reminded her.

‘n the past, Brooke would remind her early in the morning and bring her equipment and clothes. But she hadn’t heard inything from her all year.

As expected, her attitude towards Jade changed when she found her child back, and all those years Jade spent with her seemed to have meant nothing. After all, she was not her real child.

ade felt a chill in her heart. “Let’s talk about it later. That was a fluke in the past, and my sister’s marksmanship is better than nine. I’ll come if I have the time.

Also, I hope you don’t have too much hostility towards my sister. It’s not easy for her. She seemed to have suffered a lot in hat family before, and you can come to me if you feel overwhelmed.”

Then, the two chatted for a while, and Jade found an excuse to hang up.

she turned her phone, pursed her lips, and glanced at her schedule. It just so happened that she was free that weekend. She guessed Brooke didn’t want her to go. But she refused to accept this thought.

At the same time, Ash seemed to rebel against her parents‘ wishes. When Ash got home that night, she offered to move out emporarily, causing Brooke to freak out and think something was wrong.

Ash, why are you suddenly moving out? Did Mom and Dad give you a sense of restraint?”

Ash moved out because of Sofia. It’s just that she couldn’t let them know about it. “Mom, it’s not because you restrain me, it’s my decision. I will tell you the reason later. Can you trust me?”

Josh held his wife’s shoulder and said, “Just listen to Ash. She’s not a child anymore. She has her discretion and opinions when doing things.

“Okay, but where will you live? Do you need butlers to take care of your daily needs?” Brooke was reluctant. After all, her daughter had only just returned to her side, and she had just become familiar with her.

Seeing Ash was about to move out, Brooke felt heavy but felt it was unfair to force her to stay.

Ash looked tired yet cheered up to comfort Brooke. “Don’t worry, Mom. I will return during the weekends or family dinner, okay?

“I do have my reasons. But I’m a little tired today, so I’ll tell you about it later, okay?” Ash became soft and honest whenever she faced her parents. Otherwise, she wouldn’t say she was tired and needed to rest.

When Brooke heard this, she hurriedly replied, “Alright, you may rest if you feel tired. I don’t mind if you want to talk about your reason later. I’m just worried about you. But I will always support you if you feel this is a good choice.”

“Thank you, Mom,” Ash said as she went upstairs.

Meanwhile, Josh and Brooke remained in the living room, having uneasy thoughts.

“Darling, I know Ash must have her reasons. But this is the first time I’ve seen Ash so tired. Do you think we’re burdening her with our expectations?” Josh sighed slightly and began to blame himself. He thought he shouldn’t have handed Funtime Games hurriedly.

Brooke shook her head. “I don’t know either, but I think Ash wants to make a difference, and we should let her explore. All that matters is that she’s happy with her choice.

“However, I can’t help but think, are we doing too little? We only care about her needs but never had a heart–to–heart talk. I think we haven’t done enough for our daughter.”

Loving someone often leads to guilt and self–reflection. Brooke felt that her efforts were not enough and strived to be better.

Josh and Brooke sat on the sofa, feeling restless. At that time, Lachlan returned home. He said hello to them before going to his room but was stopped. “Lachlan.”

Lachlan placed the blazer on his arm to one side and sat opposite his parents. “What’s wrong? Why are you frowning? What happened?”

“How’s Funtime Games doing recently? Is everything okay? Do you think Ash is feeling pressured?” Brooke’s beautiful face revealed a deep worry.

Lachlan frowned slightly and thought briefly. “The pressure has been heavy lately. Funtime Games was popular back then, but its popularity is slowly dimming. Ash will face a mammoth task if she plans to bring the company back to its glory.

“But as far as I know, the company has reached a new cooperation with the Snider Group. Funtime Games should become popular again if this project is executed smoothly.”

Josh raised his chin thoughtfully. “Are you saying Calvert worked with Ash? Or did their company work with Ash?”

Lachlan thought his father was saying a tongue twister. “Dad, is there any difference between the two? Isn’t it the same for Calvert and his company?”

“How could it be the same? The former implies that Calvert is planning to win Ash’s heart. Meanwhile, the latter implies that it was just normal cooperation.” Brooke gave a detailed analysis.

Lachlan was ashamed. He had not thought about it deeply and disregarded possibilities or motives when companies decided

to collaborate.

Brooke rolled her eyes at his eldest son. “Who did you inherit this level of EQ from? You’re too biased on 1Q. With such a personality, when will you find a girlfriend?”
