LittleNovelChapter 910: "Mr. Ashton, did you know about Leah's pregnancy?" "How can you accept her past, with so many men involved?" "It's been reported that at the charity auction a few days ago, you spent thirty million dollars to buy a ring for her. Do you regret it now?" "Do you regret leaving your ex-girlfriend, Corrine, for Leah?" Bruce's hands balled into fists, the veins standing out on his knuckles.

She had lied to him, played on his feelings, and made him look like a fool! Seeing Bruce remain silent, Leah grew even more anxious, her eyes begging him. "Bruce, please, you have to believe me..." Bruce gritted his teeth, his jaw tight and his temples pulsing as he fought to keep his emotions in check. "Tell me, how am I supposed to believe you?" Her story about the photos being photoshopped might fool some, but after all the the'd spent with Leah, he knew her too well to be tricked.
Just then, a man appeared in the doorway. "Is Leah Burgess here?" Leah looked up and instantly recognized him as the assistant who was always with Andromache.
For a moment, she froze, and then her face brightened with hope. "Is Andromache here?" The moment Leah saw Andromache's assistant walk in, she felt as if she was clinging to her lifeline, desperate for any help.
The assistant gave a polite smile and said to Leah, "Ms. Hopkins learned about your engagement to Mr. Ashton today. She askedto bring you both a gift. Please accept it.” Leah nodded absentmindedly, quickly getting to her feet to take the gift.

"It must be something special, considering it's from Ms. Hopkins, a woman of such high standing," he replied. "Sending this gift shows how much Andromache cares about Leah," someone nearby commented.
The soft murmurs around her slowly eased Leah's worries. Even if these photos cto light and the Ashton family disapproved of her, they would have to tolerate it because of Andromache's influence.
What mattered most to the Ashton family was her connection to Andromache. As long as she remained Andromache's om goddaughter, the Ashton family had no choice but to show her respect.
With the crowd watching enviously, Leah carefully opened the box. Inside, she found a stunning hundred-qarat emerald necklace. Each stone was perfectly round and smooth, shining brightly under the light. The mix of diamonds and emeralds gave the necklace a look of pure elegance and wealth.
