Chapter 1064 Like A Fish
Brianna's eyes were wide open as if she had seen a ghost. She stared in terror at the stunningly beautiful face that was just
inches away from her. A hand as fair as white porcelain suddenly gripped Brianna's neck tightly, and the woman's icy gaze fixed
on her without emotion. Brianna shuddered from head to toe. She had never felt so terrified before. With her mouth wide open,
she gasped for air and cried out, “Ah!” Brianna wanted to escape, but Ashlyn grasped her neck tightly.
The former's face turned red due to suffocation, and she could hardly utter a word. Brianna was like a fish deprived of oxygen, on
the verge of drying up and dying.
“What are you doing? You're killing someone!” Chloe snapped out of shock and immediately tried to pull Ashlyn's arm away.
“Let go of her!” Brianna was Chloe's proudest mentee. She not only had a good family background but was also very intelligent
and highly skilled in her profession. Chloe could not bear to see Brianna get into trouble. She never imagined that Ashlyn could
be so terrible, daring to take action in broad daylight.
“I hate being disturbed when I'm sleeping,” Ashlyn said coldly, her expression filled with inexplicable irritability. The strong aura of
grumpiness from waking up seemed to fill the entire corridor. Lucas could not help but recall a certain incident when Ashlyn was
disturbed by Tinsor and Winsor early in the morning. She then strode out wearing slippers, wielded a whip, and taught them a
lesson.
“Mr. Charlie! Mr. Charlie!” Upon realizing she could not persuade Ashlyn, Chloe immediately turned to look at Charlie. “Mr.
Charlie, what on earth is going on? How can she be so outrageous? She's completely lawless!” Finnick also said anxiously, “Ms.
Berry, please calm down.
Ms. Jackovich didn't mean it. She is the number one socialite in Maredania. Do you know who her mother is?”
“What does her mother's identity have to do with me?” Ashlyn looked at Finnick coldly. Her arrogant demeanor sent shivers down
the spines of everyone present.
“I-I'm telling you, Ashlyn, her mother is none other than the Secretary of State of Maredania, Sonia Jakovich. She's someone you
could never possibly come into contact with in your entire life.”
Chloe was both angry and distressed, worried about the consequences if something were to happen to Brianna when she was
with her. Sonia would definitely not forgive Chloe, and the latter's laboratory would probably have to close down. Chloe certainly
did not want to witness that scene.
Charlie shrugged. Mr. Charlie, that well-connected man in Jadeborough, was grinning as if he was unconcerned and carefree.
“Don't look at me. There's nothing I can do. I can't hold my boss back when she loses her temper.”
What a joke! I definitely don't want to be thrown out of the window by Boss because of this woman, Brianna. Who is to blame
when Brianna insists on testing Boss' limit? She could only blame herself.
Chloe was so anxious that her face went bloodless as she watched her beloved mentee's face turn red due to lack of oxygen.
Brianna, who was in pain, desperately tried to get Ashlyn's hand off of her neck. However, all her efforts were in vain. Brianna's
strength was simply incomparable to Ashlyn's.
“Ashlyn, I admit it's my fault for having a bad attitude toward you. But when you suddenly bring out so many pills, it's hard not to
suspect that they may be fake.” Chloe finally gritted her teeth and lowered her head toward Ashlyn.
“However, you shouldn't take your anger out on Brianna! She hasn't offended you, so please be merciful and let her go!” It was
better to rely on oneself than to seek help from others. Chloe looked at the Oates family members surrounding them, but no one
was willing to stand up for her.
Chloe felt depressed. Usually, everyone would try to please her, but now that something had happened, not a single person
spoke up.
This is frustrating! Chloe stared intently at Ashlyn's exceptionally beautiful and attractive face. She thought the woman was even
prettier than those female celebrities. However, Chloe wondered how Ashlyn could be so ruthless. N
o ordinary woman would keep choking a girl's neck without letting go. Brianna felt extremely unwell and was on the verge of
suffocation. Her face turned beet red, so red that it seemed as if blood could seep out. Brianna's slender neck felt so
uncomfortable as if it would snap any second by the emotionless woman in front of her.
