Chapter 54 I Know Everything
Rowan smirked coldly. “Oh, really? How come I never knew you had such health issues before?
Suddenly, I gained confulence and looked disdaindully at Rowan. “Come on, it’s not like you really knew me before.”
Fortunately, I was able to smoothly diverted the topic. I remembered the scoundrel who hit me on the head with a stick and asked, “Did you report the person who attacked me to the police?”
“I did. He’s currently at the police station. Rowan opened the lunchbox, revealing fragrant black pepper chicken chop. “Ella made this at home.
”
No wonder it smelled familiar. I took the lunch box and started eating. As I was eating, Rowan said softly, “I’ve dismissed Ella She’ll be leaving toKEOW.”
My eyes widened, and 1 nearly dropped my fork out of surprise. But I managed to keep calm and avoid tuming my head to prevent worsening my injuries. I asked, ” Why?”
“The person who attacked you today is Niel Bluefield. He’s Ella’s brother–in–law. It’s not appropriate for her to stay here any longer,” Rowan explained in a calm.
Tone:
But my heart trembled upon hearing this. Did Rowan know that Ella was Ashley’s mom?
He must have investigated Niel. So, it was likely that he had also looked into Ashley’s family situation and easily found out who
I had planned to keep Ella at home for a while longer. But now that Rowan had done this, I guess that wasn’t going to happen anymore.
“Oh, I see.” Aftercalming down, I continued to eat.
While eating, I stole glances at Rowan. He knew that Ella was a mand had hired. Didn’t he suspect that I actually knew Ashley?
Rowan sat aside and replied to various messages on his phone without stopping, 1 thought about how Mom’s battle wings should be almost ready.
So, 1 said to Rowan, “Thanks for bringing me food today. You look busy. You should leave first.
“Alright.” Rowan got up gracefully and left.
I rolled my eyes. It he was so eager to leave, why had he bothered to bring me food in the first place?
Right after he left, Mom came back. Even though I was already half full, couldn’t resist the temptation of the buffalo wings. So, I mustered the courage to eat
more.
Mom wanted to stay overnight with me, but I refused. It was just that I wasn’t allowed to move my head too much, but I could still move my limbs very well.
Since I repeatedly declined Mom’s offer, she had no choice but to go home and rest,
Meanwhile, I got ready to sleep as soon as the nurse finished her round and injections, Just as I was drifting to sleep, my phone rang. Thankfully, I was in a single room, so it didn’t disturb others too much.
I didn’t check the caller ID and lacrily answered, “Hello? Who’s this?”
“Ivory, it’s me.” Ashley’s soft and besitant mice came through “Are you asleep?”
Timmediately became more alert. “Oh, it’s you, Ashley. I hadn’t managed to fall asleep, What’s up?
“I heard that my uncle injured you today and that you’re hospitalized. I’m here to apologize on his behalf. I’m sorry.” Ashley’s tone was sincere, and I could tell she genuinely meant her apology.
I smiled and replied, “So that was your uncle? What a coincidence. I was just there for work today and didn’t expect this to happen.”
not dismissed
Ashley replied, “Yes. It seems that fate wants us to be together. I only found out today that my mom used to work as a maid at your house. But… she got
It seemed like Ashley knew quite a bit.
I felt disappointed. I didn’t hear the words I wanted to hear. Ashley knew that Nirl had wounded me and that Ella had been working as a maid at my house.
Didn’t that mean that she should also know that Rowan was my husband?
“I went to Duo Chemicals with Rowan. Altward, Ella was dismissed by him.”
“That’s because my husband dismissed her. I’m sorry. After all that happened today, he was angry,” 1 said with a slight smile.
Upon hearing that, Ashley fell silent for a moment. When she spoke again, she sounded awkward. “I know, Ivory. Please rest well,”
“okay” Thung up the phone.
love and hatred I’d
I didn’t sleep well that night. It was probably due to my head injury. I also kept having fragmented dreams. They were mostly about the love experienced in my previous life,
When I wake up the next moming, it felt like my condition had worsened.
The phone showed that it was 8:30am.
I thought Mom would be the first person I would see. But unexpectedly, Rowan had come to see me again
He placed a box of crackers and chicken soup beside me. Then, he opened the lunch box and gave it to me.
I was utterly confused and didn’t understand what he was doing.
“Rowan, what are you doing?” I took the chicken soup, puzzled, and asked, “Aren’t things busy at work? Or have you already won over the college glit?”
If this continued, the media would soon report that he had retired and returned to his family.
Rowan glared at me sternly, I pretended not to notice and lowered my head to drink the soup

“Ivory.” He pulled up a chair and sat beside me. He calmly asked, “You’ve known about her for a long time and knew that Ella is her mom, right?”
I paused while drinking the soup. Well, at least now I knew. Since that was the case, I figured we should be open and honest. After all, my ultimate goal wasn’t to save this marriage.
time ago. I just felt it was mean
meaningless to say it out loud. Would you have given up on Ashley if I had told
I wiped my mouth and calmly replied, “Yes. I knew a long time you earlier?”
Rowan stared at me silently.
“You remember Serendipity? She worked part–time there. I met her there while having coffee.
“I won’t hide it from you. I also know her boyfriend and have had meals with him. He treated her well. But now, they’ve broken up because of you.
“As for Ells, I didn’t find her on purpose. The domestic staffing agency just happened to recommend her to me. I only found out that she was Ashley’s mom during a casual conversation,” I explained calmly.
When Rowan heard me mention Benjamin, his face darkened.
I didn’t tear him, though. Instead, I bravely asked him, “Why are you only questioning me? Ashley knows about our relationship. But she still invited me to meet up and talk about her breakup.
“Yet, she didn’t mention anything about you pursuing her.
Why don’t you go ask her?”
As soon as I finished speaking, Rowan smirked. It looked like a smile, but I found it more terrifying than when his face darkened. He asked calmly, “Am I being played by you two?”
hip with Rowan,
I knew he was pursuing Ashley and that Ella was her mother. I had even gone out to eat with Benjamin. Meanwhile, Ashley had known my relationship but she had still invited me out.
Given Rowan’s patience level, he was sure to be mad.
