Ashley and her 'daughter'!

"As for his 'backers'? I think that they would have already abandoned him if they had allowed someone to release this morning's news." Maya completed her analysis.

"Although we can't be a hundred percent sure of that." Aiden added. "Maybe his backer is just testing the waters, if Lucas is still of some use to them, then they might help him by dealing with the aftermath of this scandal."

"We just have to wait and watch for sometime. If his benefactor is still backing him up, the news will be cleared out soon enough. But they don't take any action, it would mean that they have given up on Lucas... we can take our next step then." Maya continued on Aiden's words. 

"...Such synchronised actions! Already completing each other's words!" Asher couldn't help, but feel amazed witnessing the work of these two people, whom he had termed as the 'future couple'.
