Ashlyn’s smile faded a little.
“What happened?”
Talia then handed over the document to Ashlyn and said, “What happened last night might have something to do with Devin.”
“Devin?”
Ashlyn frown and then took the document.She didn’t see how Devin could be involved in any of this.
Ashlyn quickly scanned the papers Talia had given her.
After a few minutes, she looked up and said coldly, “Let’s have the meeting first.”
Talia nodded.
Seeing that Ashlyn’s expression was a little cold, she only said, “Understood, Miss Ramos.”
To Ashlyn’s surprise, the person who drugged her that night was Betsy, one of Devin’s ex-girlfriends.
This was something that Ashlyn had not thought of.She had assumed this to be the work of Raina and Arabella.
But now it turned out that it was Betsy who set that up.
Betsy was Devin’s girlfriend several years ago.
Of course, Ashlyn hadn’t known about it.
But Talia was very thorough, and she had investigated Betsy’s background.
Five years ago, Betsy started her career as a model, and three years ago, she became Devin’s girlfriend.
The two were in a relationship for about a month, and then she became more popular.
All thanks to Devin.
One year ago, however, she was involved in a sex scandal, which led to her being dismissed by her company.
After that, Betsy tried several times to approach Devin, but she failed.
Last month, Betsy went to Devin’s company and waited for him outside.
Finally, she managed to see him.
No one knew what they talked about, but after that, Betsy never called Devin again.
Betsy didn’t contact Devin, and instead she targeted Ashlyn.
Betsy had guts.
She drugged both Ashlyn and Gordon.
After two hours, Ashlyn finally left the meeting room.
Now, everything was clear to her.
Ashlyn had once again been drugged.
And this time, she did not intend to let it slide.She didn’t expect that Gordon would come to find her at that time.
“Miss Ramos, Mr.Jones wants to see you.”
Ashlyn casually looked up and asked Talia, “Where is he?”
“Outside the door.”
Ashlyn was surprised.It seemed that he had also found out who the culprit was.
“Let him in.”
Although Ashlyn did not want to maintain contact with Gordon, he was also a victim in this case.
Talia nodded and went to invite Gordon in.
Talia also didn’t like Gordon, but as Ashlyn’s secretary, she still maintained a level of polite formality.
“Mr.Jones, this way, please.”
It was the first time that Gordon had entered Ashlyn’s office.It was a little different from what he had imagined.
The office looked neat and was simply decorated.
After taking a glance at the furnishings in the office, Gordon finally looked at Ashlyn behind the desk and said, “The investigation results are out.”
Today, Ashlyn wore a white chiffon long-sleeved round-collar shirt.
The makeup on her face was very light and natural, but overall eye-catching.
Gordon always thought that Ashlyn was a beautiful woman.
Ashlyn glanced over at Talia.
Talia understood the signal and exited the room.
Ashlyn and Gordon were left alone in the office.
“Interesting.Talia has also found out just now.”
Gordon didn’t look surprised.He already knew about the investigation results that Ashlyn received.
“What is your opinion?”
Ashlyn got straight to the point.
There was no need to mince words between them.
They also had nothing else to talk about.
“Devin is involved in this.”
“So?” Ashlyn snorted.
Gordon’s heart stung at Ashlyn’s indifference.He had expected an emotional reaction from Ashlyn.
Gordon looked down and explained, “Nothing happened between us that night.Do you need me to clarify it?”
“A clean hand wants no washing.”
Ashlyn knew the purpose of Gordon’s visit, but she really didn’t want to talk to him.
“I will deal with it myself.As for you, how you are going to deal with it has nothing to do with me.I have other business to attend to, so goodbye.”
As soon as Ashlyn finished speaking, she called the internal line and asked Talia to come in.
“Talia, please help me escort Mr.Jones out.”
At the thought of what Nathaniel had said last night, Gordon tightened his lips.He managed to open his mouth and ask, “Ashlyn, can we get back together?”
“Do you think we were together before?” Ashlyn asked Gordon. He had never treated her as his wife when they were still married.
Gordon’s question was like a joke to Ashlyn.
They had never been together.
How could they get back together? Talia caught Gordon’s words as she came in.She was thrown into a dilemma for a moment but she decided to remain standing at the door, pretending that she did not exist.
Ashlyn’s words felt like a thousand knives stabbing at Gordon.He was always been a proud man and he didn’t know why he would ask that question.He frowned as he turned and walked out of Ashlyn’s office.
As Ashlyn watched his retreating figure, she smiled mockingly.She hadn’t expected to hear such words from Rary.
But unfortunately for him, she no longer had feelings for him.
Once Gordon had disappeared, Ashlyn lowered her head and continued to read the documents before her.
Talia knocked on the door before entering.
“Miss Ramos? Betsy…”
“I’ve been very busy these days.Bring Betsy here the day after tomorrow.”
After a short pause, Ashlyn continued, “She drugged me that day.Help me return the favor, please.”
