Chapter 1058
Beep. Beep.
After Emmanuel ended the call, Ashton was so furious that she punched the pillow next to her!

“I’ll get you! I’ll get you one day, Emmanuel! You jerk, how dare you act so arrogantly!”
Ashton reluctantly grumbled after venting her anger, “Fine! I’ll help you this one time, just to even the score! However, this won’t happen again!”
After that, she prepared to call her brother, Julian Summerton, immediately. She knew that her artist of a brother was always seeking inspiration in the middle of the night. So, there was a high chance that her brother hadn’t gone to sleep yet.
Unexpectedly, she received another incoming call as soon as she picked up her phone!
“Hello, what’s up? Are you afraid I’ll reject you? Is that why you’re calling me again? I didn’t expect you, a man, to be so clingy. It really doesn’t match your appearance,” Ashton answered coldly, thinking it was Emmanuel.
On the other end, a melodious voice came through, inquiring curiously, “Ash, what’s wrong? Have you mistaken me for someone else?”
“Ah? It’s you, Hattie!”
Ashton quickly said, “I thought it was that annoying guy calling me.”
“Hehe, which annoying guy? Judging from your tone, it doesn’t seem like you really hate him, Ash.”
Hattie giggled.
Ashton’s face turned red as she blubbered, “Hattie, are you even hearing yourself? I really hate him! No, I despise him!”
“You mean Emmanuel, right?”
Hattie hit Ashton’s sore spot with just one try.
“It’s him, but you… Don’t make any wild guesses. I genuinely hate him,” Ashton said insistently.
However, Hattie was the younger sister of Magnus the Genius. Plus, she was a talented woman in her own right and had a seat among the Big Four Beauties of Zovince. How could she not see through Ashton’s thoughts?
“Alright, I understand!”
Hattie continued to smile and said, “You hate him so much that you treat him differently. In the past, when you hated a man, you would just beat him up and ignore him. Now, you keep talking about him. It seems like you really, really hate him.”
“Enough, Hattie. If you keep teasing me, I’ll hang up!”
Ashton’s cheeks were burning with anger. How could Hattie misunderstand her? How could Hattie imply that she liked the man she hated the most? To make matters worse, that vexing man also had a wife whom she also despised!
10:31 Sat, 2 Dec
“Hehe, alright. I’ll stop.”
Then, Hattie quickly asked, “Did you arrange for us to meet? Did he agree?”
It didn’t matter what she just promised, as the topic still shifted back to that irritating man!
82%
Ashton became rather exasperated. Nonetheless, she still said, “That annoying guy refused. He said he has nothing to talk about with you!”
“So, he knows my identity?”
“Yeah, I told him.”
“Ah, I see!”
After a moment of silence, Hattie continued, “Well, thanks, Ash. I’ll find a way to meet him.”
Ashton curiously asked, “Why the insistence on meeting that annoying guy?”
“I want to ask him to spare my brother.”
Hattie didn’t bother to hide anything from Ashton.
The hand Ashton was using to hold her phone trembled slightly. Regardless, she couldn’t help but find Hattie’s reason absolutely unbelievable. Hattie actually wanted to plead for Magnus?
Even if she were to plead her case, wouldn’t it be better for Hattie to go through the proper channels and make her case with the authorities? Why would she go to Emmanuel?
How absurd!
“Does your brother know about this?”
Ashton asked anxiously. If Magnus knew about this, his self-esteem would definitely be hurt. Honestly, she was certain he would lose his mind due to sheer rage!
“Of course, he can’t know.”
Hattie said, “Ash, you’ll keep it a secret for me, right?”
“Of course!”
Ashton smiled bitterly. First of all, she and Hattie were good friends. Secondly, she couldn’t even contact Magnus right now. So, there was no way she could tell him.
Ashton finally called her brother after ending the call with Hattie.
“What? You still want me to go on a blind date with that coal masquerading as a dinosaur? I would rather die! Ash, if you force me, just kill me with a sword!”
“Is it that serious?”
Ashton couldn’t help but chuckle when she heard her brother’s response. She even forgot Emmanuel’s words. Instead, she only remembered him saying that his sister was prettier than her. Wasn’t that a blatant lie?
Her brother was a talented artist. Therefore, it was only natural for him to have impeccable taste!
Since that was the case, it meant that Emmanuel was the one in the wrong, especially after implying that his sister was gorgeous.
“It is that serious. Besides, I already have someone I like. So, I won’t be accepting any blind dates!”
Julian became more and more agitated as he spat, “That’s it! I don’t care if the Earth explodes! I don’t even care if you’re going to force me to jump off the fifth floor! I will never go on a blind date with that woman, Roselynn Lowe, again!”
