“What is it? Do tell!” Laura implored anxiously.
“I overheard that it was Loraine who received Ashton, which greatly angered him, leading him to depart in a fit of
rage!”
Laura was taken aback by this revelation, her brows shooting up. So
Loraine had somehow offended Ashton!
Despite Ashton’s role as the adjutant, he had influential connections in Vagow and was known to be more

After concluding the call, Laura wasted no tin contacting Ashton, urgently requesting a private meeting.
On Ashton’s end, he received word from an associate that Laura sought to meet him. He was perplexed as he did
not have a close association with the Bryant family, and he wondered why Laura sought him out at this particular

Considering the esteemed status of the Bryant family in Vagow, Ashton acquiesced to her request.

Upon their first meeting, Laura sympathized with Ashton’s situation in the hospital. She couldn’t help but share
her own experience as well.
“Rowan is supercilious. Even | failed to visit him. My son is still hospitalized, yet | am denied visitation.”
