Chapter 45 In Sheilas face (1/2)
Sheila was very angry, but he didn't want to be too rude in front of Francis, so she snorted and sat on the sofa without saying anything.
Francis pushed Ashley to the tea table and sat down opposite to Sheila. ”Ashley, what's wrong with your leg? Is it hurt?”
Ashley lowered her head sadly and answered, ”yes, I was kidnapped several days ago and got hurt.”
”Kidnap!” ”How serious is your injury?” Francis asked with concern.
”It's none of your business.” Said Ashley.
Sheila couldn't hear any more. ”Ashley, you'd better show some respect. How can you talk to your brother-in-law in such a tone?”
Ashley stared at Sheila, lowered her head, wrinkled her nose and didn't say anything.
”Don't always bully her, Sheila. She is hurt. Just be nice to her. Anyway, she's your sister.”
”Don't be fooled by her, Francis. She pretended to be weak on purpose. Ashley is a sharp tongued woman, but she pretends to be weak when she sees you are here.”
”Sheila.” ”We have known each other for years. Don't I know her temper?” Francis said helpless.
”You!” Sheila was rendered speechless. She also sensed that since Francis cared about Ashley, she changed her strategy and was ready to show her tenderness. ”I am just worried about you. I don't know what to say when I am in a hurry.”
Ashley raised her eyes. How could Sheila stand this? 'Sheila is getting more disciplined, that is nothing, I will do something bigger.' Ashely thought.
”How's your injury?” Francis continued to ask with concern.
”Does it have anything to do with you?” Ashley looked at Sheila with jealousy. She was so cute when she was jealous, which made Francis itch.
”Of course you are Sheila's younger sister.”
Ashley stared at him angrily and said, ”don't worry. After half a month, your play won't be delayed.”
”You know that's not what I meant. I...” Before Francis could finish his sentence, Sheila interrupted him and asked, ”your show? What's your show?”
With no intention of evading the question, Francis explained, ”we plan to let Ashley play a role in a modern TV series prepared by Guantang Group and Hanfu Films.”
”Why didn't you tell me?”
”I have always been bored with these preparations. I told you before that you didn't want to listen, so I didn't say it afterwards.”
”That's not what I'm talking about!” Sheila's anger and jealousy surged up at the same time. ”I mean, why don't you tell me that you use Ashley!”
Well, the battle began.
'Sheila, you'd better enjoy the feeling of being swayed by considerations of gain and loss.' Ashely thought. Ashley stretched her right hand and pulled the wheelchair backwards to stay away from the fire.
