Chapter 234

Ashley began in sing the theme song. There was no accompaniment, no sound card, no tuning. She tried her best to calm her breath. As she sung. Ashley felt something was wrong. Gradually, the stopped.

Edwin pretended to be surprised and asked, “Why did you stop singing“”

Ashley lowered her head and said, “I feel like I’m not singing very well. I’m shy”

“No, you sang really well. Please continue.” Edwin said.

“R–Really?” Ashley remarked. She already felt something was off because Selina was the Meteorite Queen. The album she released, whether in quality, lyrics, or composition, was far superior to the catchy tune she was singing

Edwin encouraged her with a look and said, “Yes, go ahead.”

“Then I’ll continue,” Ashley said. She resumed singing, but it was like a public execution

Damn, this sounds so awful. My ears are practically deaf now.)

[Actually, it’s not that terrible. It’s just too much of a generic song. Ashley’s singing is fine.]

[The main issue is that compared to Queen Selina’s debut songs, it pales in comparison.]

[Sorry, but I’m even more fascinated by Queen Selina now. Her voice is truly heavenly. Songs like this one that seemed okay before now make me want to puke!!

[Even a generic song like this is being sung so poorly. If she tried to take on Selina’s high–difficulty vocal runs and high notes, she’d probably crash and burn]

But Ashley isn’t a professional singer. Why are you all comparing her to Selina? Are you trying to start a catfight? Can’t you just appreciate respective beauty!]

[Come on, if the gap was smaller, you could brush it off by saying they’re different styles. But with such a big gap, why should we bend over backward to be considerate of others while hurting ourselves? Are they sharing a single cent of their earnings with us!]

Since singing on a variety show with Selina present and given the unknown grudges between Ashley and Selina, it was inevitable that they would be compared. And in the comparison, who won and who lost was obvious

Ashley also realized that. She had heard the Meteorite Queen’s songs, and now, singing her own cheesy tune, Ashley felt like she was tarnishing the title of “singer.” However, with Edwin praising her like that, Ashley felt embarrassed to refuse and could only bite the ballet and continue singing.

Even Charley felt a bit sorry for Ashley. Despite Edwin’s gentlemanly appearance, he was actually quite cunning. His gentle words were like a knife, cutting people down gently, digging a hole for a person to fall into while making that person smile without even realizing anything was wrong

On the other hand, Charley was more straightforward and didn’t beat around the bush.

Finally, Ashley finished singing and broke out in cold sweat.

Edwin applauded her and said, “Very nice, Ms. Harvey. Thank you”

“Uh. Thank you, Mr. Talley, Ashley said. The expression on her face was complicated to decipher whether she was happy or sad. Only two words could describe her strangely off

Up ahead, Lydia couldn’t help but laugh out loud seeing that. She said, “I didn’t expect Edwin to be so interesting. Even the scheming Ashley is being fooled around.”

“Ashley dreams of replaceing a good man to marry into a wealthy family. When a person’s desires fall upon another, they naturally become blinded by love, leading them to act irrationally. Ashley is no exception, Selina answered indifferently, thinking. Perhaps the man Ashley desires the most is Trevon, but she has no choice but to approach Churley and Edwin. Ha, how pathetic.

Garrett watched Ashley trying so hard to please Edwin and felt a surge of jealousy. Seeing Joseply’s lack of response, he couldn’t help but say, Joseph, is it really okay for Ashley to be getting close to Charley and Edwin like that? Aren’t those two friends with Mr. Brady? They seem to be related to Selina too

Joseph pursed his lips and did not respond. He quickened his pace to reach Ashley’s side and said, “Ashley, you’re injured. Don’t walk so fast, or the pain will worsen.” After saying that he looked at Charley and Edwin, nodded slightly, then turned and led Ashley away.

“Ah, Joseph..” Ashley mattered. She wanted to stay and chat more with Edwin, but she was forcefully taken away by Josephi

Charley sighed and said. “The fun ended so soon What a pity. But, Edwin, you’re really something. Look at how infatuated Ashley is with you. It’s like she’s fallen into a pit you ding, yet she’s reluctant to leave.”

Chapter 234

“What pit? I don’t know what you mean.” Edwin said.

“All right, Edwin. Don’t play dumb with me. Who are you trying to fool?” Charley replied.

Joseph led Ashley away from Charley and Edwin. Ashley’s arm hurt from Joseph’s grip, and she said tearfully. “Joseph, you’re hurting me a little.”

Joseph took a deep breath and said, “Ashley, you know the relationship between Selina and Trevon and that Charley and Edwin are on Trevon’s side. Yet, you still approached them. What were you thinking?”

He almost lost control and wanted to call Ashley an idiot, Offering herself to the enemy. Does she really not fear being sold and still helping them count the money? I used to think Ashley wasn’t that foolish, but now, the more I look, the sillier she seems, he thought.

Ashley hurriedly explained, “1… I didn’t. Joseph, they greeted me first. I couldn’t just pretend not to see them, right?”

Joseph said, “Charley was clearly mocking you for not being as good as Selina, and Edwin made you sing in front of the live cameras. Did you really think you could beat Selina? All it did was make the viewers hate you even more!”

His tone was slightly harsh. Ashley didn’t expect Joseph to talk to her with such an attitude. He had always spoken softly to her, never scolding her no matter what she did wrong. Now, she could only lower her head and keep sobbing.

Joseph also realized that he had overreacted earlier, so he patted Ashley’s shoulder and comforted her, “Ashley, I lost my temper earlier. Don’t take it to heart. I’m just afraid you might get tricked. The first episode will be over in a few more days. Let’s just get through it. Once we’re past this, everything will be fine. Just stay away from Selina and her group.

“Joseph, do you also think Selina is bett

better than me? Do you like her more than me?” Ashley asked.

“Of course not, Ashley. Don’t overthink it. Selina didn’t show us any respect and hurt so many people in our family. How could I possibly like her! All right, we’re almost at the mountaintop Just remember what I told you earlier, and don’t let yourself be used” Joseph reminded.

“Yes, I will, Joseph, Ashley answered.

When she asked, Ashley already knew the answer in her heart Joseph, Lloyd, and Manuel are all influenced by Selina! All because Selina has so many identities and is so presentable. Damn it! They used to only treasure and dote on me. Now they’ve become so snobbish. I hate them” she cursed inwardly.
