Chapter 27 Jealousy

The camera focused on them all of a sudden.

Her play had not finished yet, and she was not convinced. She gritted her teeth and stared at Ashley fiercely.

When her eyes met Lucas, they became gentle again. She imagined that the woman in his arms was her. Only she deserved him to treat her like this.

The more she thought about it, the deeper her hatred Ashley. This woman not only took away her parents, but also the man she liked. She won't let her go.

"Julia, how are you? Do you want to see a doctor?" Mrs. Johnson supported her and said, "You don't have to be so serious. She can walk on her own."

Her eyes became redder. She shook her head and said, "I have to welcome my sister home today. I don't want to let her feel that she is an outsider."

Her words were full of hypocrisy, but in the eyes of Ashley's parents, it was her sensible behavior. Her mother patted her on the back, and her face was full of satisfaction.

"Julia, it's good that you have such intentions. Ashley won't blame you. You have us."

Julia nodded and lowered her head with the grievance as if everyone had bullied her.

Old Mrs. Johnson watched all this and said nothing. She just asked her assistant to arrange the media. What shouldn't be on the news must not be.

Lucas and Ashley stayed together, while Julia walked between her parents, declaring her sovereignty.

When they arrived at the Johnson family's house, the servants had already prepared everything. Ashley's mother took her upstairs to see her room kindly.

"Although you are married now, the Johnson family is always your home. You can always come back and live. Let's go upstairs to have a look."

When she passed by Julia's room, all kinds of collections occupied the whole room, and there were portraits of different styles on the wall.

When she came to her room, there were only a table and a bed. The light in the room was not good. The room was all grey, which looked more like a guest room that could be changed at any time. It was true.

Ashley's mother quickly explained, "I discussed with your father that you wouldn't come back often, so I prepared a small room for you. Don't you mind? There is a big room. If you want..."

"No, thanks." Ashley refused their "kindness".

If they wanted to do this, they wouldn't have prepared this room for her and asked for her opinion. She was completely disappointed.

That's right. She and the Johnson family were just using each other. As long as they didn't hurt the person she loved, she could put up with anything.

Lucas held her hands and was also very angry to see such a room and the treatment. The person he cherished most was even worse than a guest when she came back to her own home. The Johnson family's intentions were almost exposed.

"Lucas, let her have a rest. Let's go downstairs and have a talk."

Julia seized the chance to come over to Lucas and was dodged by him. He looked at her with disgust.

"Miss Julia, we are not familiar with each other."

"Lucas..."

Shame on her. Ashley pulled Lucas behind her and faced her.

"Why can't you talk to me? Why do you have to take your brother-in-law downstairs?"

"I didn't mean that. Sister, you..."

Julia pulled her mother's sleeve, and her mother immediately spoke for her.

Mrs. Johnson patted her hand to reassure her and showed her dissatisfaction with Ashley.

"You're making a mountain out of a molehill. You don't know how much Julia has prepared for you. She's not in good health either. Can't you understand her?"

This was the real family. She sneered.

"No."

"Ashley, how could you be so stubborn like this? Julia is also the daughter of your father and me. You should get along well with each other and support each other in the future."

"No, thanks. I don't have a sister, and I'm not used to having a frail and sensitive sister. Don't forget our appointment in the hospital, Mrs. Johnson."

Ashley stressed her address. She hadn't admitted that she was a member of the Johnson family, but had just announced it to the public. Ashley's mother was embarrassed and wanted to let her husband talk with her. Her father was also a fool. Besides, Lucas was still here, so he couldn't say anything. He could only be the peacemaker.

"Well, that's enough. Today is a happy day. If you are not tired, let's go downstairs and have a talk. You have suffered a lot outside these years. Your grandmother wants to compensate you."

Lucas looked at Ashley. He would be on her side no matter what she wanted to do. If she wanted to be the enemy of the Johnson family, he would follow her to the end.

"Honey, let's go downstairs."

"Okay."

Julia pinched her hand. Ashley deliberately showed off in front of her. This bitch!

The Johnson family's house was large but still not enough for more than five people to walk side by side. However, Julia liked to squeeze to the side of Lucas. Seeing this, Ashley was two steps behind her.

He followed her and fell two steps. Julia walked up by accident and stamped her feet.

"Don't worry."

Lucas held her hand and pinched it to comfort her. He had already seen through Julia's intention and would never let her do something that could easily be misunderstood.

When she took her seat, Julia wanted to sit on the other side of Lucas. But she was glared at by old Mrs. Johnson, so she had to go back to her parents in dejection.

"Ha-ha... You got married in such a hurry. What are you going to do in the future?"

Old Mrs. Johnson directly talked about the wedding, which was not like what they said to care about her past at all. Instead, they couldn't wait to officially hook up with the Lucas family.

"It's ready. I'll ask someone to send the invitation."

Upon hearing this, the Johnson family felt humiliated. After all, they were from the bride's family. How could they only attend the wedding by invitation?

"What about you, Ashley?"

"I have no objection."

They were pretending to be deaf, which made old Mrs. Johnson so angry. She couldn't easily let go of such a good opportunity.

However, Julia who can't read people's faces spoke now.

"Sister, I've read on the Internet that your wedding and your ex-husband's wedding was the same day. Is there any meaning?"

Ashley clenched her fists, but Julia looked at her provocatively. When she calmed down, she responded with simple words.

"What do you think it means? What do you want it means?"

"I..."

She pinched the flesh on her thigh and made a few tears. The way she was about to cry made her mother's heart ache.

"You're too aggressive, Ashley. Julia just cares about you."

"Really? Thanks for her concern. But you'd better care about yourself if you have time. Didn't you say that she was not in good health? It would be bad if she was angry with me."

Ashley was so eloquent that Mrs. Johnson was rendered speechless.
