"But... boss, no one else can help her but you. She was the biggest victim in that incident back then.


    She wasn''t Jeffrey Perez''s mistress. In fact, she and Jeffrey Perez had been secretly in love for three whole years. Then, when the Perez family and the Snider family tied the knot, Reba found out and that''s what kept them in the headlines. At first, Jeffrey Perez didn''t seem to care. I tried to talk Ashley into letting go, but she was too deep into the rtionship and wouldn''t listen to me.


    She''s been living like a rat in the sewer all these years, hiding in the darkness.


    Her life is pretty much ruined. I don''t want her to continue being in the public eye, I just want her to be able to live out the rest of her life like a normal person."


    Sebastianughed coldly, "Do I look like a charity to you? Why would I help someone who has nothing to do with me?"


    Gracie gave a bitter smile, "But you''re the only one who can do it in this world. Reba won''t let her off, and the elders of the Perez family won''t either. She even has a child... even if her life is ruined, her child is still innocent." Sebastian was surprised to hear that Ashley had a child.


    Was it Jeffrey Perez''s child?


    But that had nothing to do with him.


    He said indifferently, "Ms. Gracie, you''ve got the wrong person. I wouldn''t help someone who has nothing to do with me."


    Gracie took a deep breath, "What if... it was for the sake of Ms. Bishop?"


    Sebastian asked, "What does she have to do with this? Or do you think that by letting me entrust Stephanie to you, you can use her as a bargaining chip to threaten me?"


    Gracie shook her head quickly, "No... Mr. President, you don''t know the inside story. I didn''t want to take on two neers without any background at first. If I didn''t know the rtionship between Ms. Bishop and Ashley, I definitely wouldn''t have made an exception for her and Gillian."


    "What''s the rtionship between Ashley and Stephanie?" Sebastian was starting to get annoyed again.


    If there really was a rtionship, Stephanie hadn''t told him anything from the start.


    He thought she said that besides her mother, the person she trusted the most in the world was him. But in reality, she didn''t trust him that much!


    Gracie saw that Sebastian''s face


    was not fooking good, and


    didn''t


    use the affectionate term "my girl" to refer to Stephanie, so she felt somewhat uncertain inside. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Was being Stephanie''s teacher enough for Sebastian to extend a helping hand to Ashley?


    But this was the only way she could try.


    She had no other choice.


    "Ashley is Ms. Bishop''s teacher. I only found out about this when Ms. Bishop convinced me to be her agent."


    "Her teacher?"


    "She''s not just a normal teacher, but


    more like a direct disciple. Ms. Bishop became Ashley''s only disciple, not knowing anything about


    her background, just because they clicked.


    About this, Ms. Bishop can confirm... so please don''t misunderstand, and think that Ashley and I teamed up to use Ms. Bishop, just to get your protection.


    I only found out about their rtionship after the fact.


    ording to what Ms. Bishop told


    me, she felt a connection with Ashley because of her love for her daughter which reminded her of the love her mother had for her. She was worried about what would happen to her child if something happened to her.


    As for Ashley, she thinks Stephanie has a natural talent for acting and is particrly kind-hearted, so she just wants to pass her acting skills on to Stephanie privately.


    In fact, Ms. Bishop doesn''t even know that I''m here asking for your help... so please don''t overthink it."
