Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Stephanie wryly smiled and said, "But I feel the time is too short... I think spending more time with you could help more. Would... would our staying disturb you?" Ashley shook her head, "Not really... It's just..."

There was a sudden sound of shattered glass in the room.

Ashley's face instantly turned pale, and she hurriedly said, "You guys review the script first, I'll go check it out."

Without any regard for Stephanie and Gillian's reactions, she rushed to the room.

Gillian and Stephanie looked at each other in confusion...

"Is there someone else here?"

"Or should we go and see if they need any help?"

Both hesitated, but eventually went ahead.

In the room, there was a little girl, cute like a doll, wearing a pretty pink dress. She looked about five or six years old and very tiny.

She cowered in the corner, shivering with fear.

Ashley walked in, seeing her like this. She was almost heartbroken.

It felt like a heart-wrenching pain.

"Emily! What happened? Are you hurt?" Ashley hugged the little girl and asked anxiously.

The little girl didn't speak, just cried continuously.

"Don't be afraid, Emily. Mommy's here... Mommy will protect you."

Hearing her mom's voice, Emily finally stopped crying, but her small body was still shivering.

Glass debris scattered all over the floor.

Stephanie and Gillian were outside the room, witnessing this scene.

Ashley held a little girl, her face full of despair. The little girl was so thin and frail, her eyes filled with tears and fear.

"Ms. Morris..."

Hearing their voices, Ashley turned her head and forced a smile, "Please wait a moment. I'll get Emily to sleep, then come out and talk to you."

Stephanie quickly said, "Don't worryContent provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Ashley gratefully nodded, "Thank you."

The former famous movie star, how proud she once was.

Yet she too had her moments of weakness... But this wasn't even close to the countless unbearable experiences she's had.

Ashley had long grown accustomed to it, and she no longer feared being seen by outsiders.

Stephanie and Gillian promptly fetched a mop and cleaned up the floor.

Under Ashley's grateful gaze, they left the room and closed the door behind them.

Back in the living room, both Gillian and Stephanie were somewhat lost in thought.

Ashley, the famous actress, actually had such a daughter... And that little girl seemed somewhat different from ordinary children.

Could it be that Ashley's sudden retirement and disappearance from the entertainment industry had something to do with her daughter?

After more than half an hour, Ashley walked out of the room with an exhausted face.

Stephanie and Gillian immediately stood up and said, "Ms. Morris, if you are too tired, we can come back tomorrow."

Ashley shook her head, "Your time is tight, we can't afford to waste any more. Don't worry... Emily is asleep now, and I'm free."

"Ms. Morris... If you don't mind us asking, is Emily your daughter?"

Ashley immediately put on a guard, responding, "What are you trying to say?"

Stephanie said with a wry smile,
