Chapter 538 - 537: In fact, he cares very much

Chapter 538: Chapter 537: In fact, he cares very much

He found it extremely ridiculous.

That middle-aged old lady with the eye problem actually thought he was some pervert who lured and cheated underage girls, and even advised Joanna Lawrence to break up with him, saying he was no good.

If it weren’t for his habit of never hitting a woman, the fact that she was much older than him, and that she was genuinely well-meaning...

He would’ve definitely beaten her up.

The low pressure emanating from Ashton Heath’s body could even be felt by Zack, who was sitting in the front row.

He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Ashton with a gloomy expression as if someone had seriously offended him, and Zack wondered who had crossed their young master this time.

His mood was so unpredictable that even Zack was scared.

Ashton’s eyes were fixed on the drugstore for a while. Although he didn’t want to care about it, the old lady’s words sounded like a curse that kept echoing in his ears over and over again, making it impossible for him not to mind a bit.

In fact, he cared very much.

Did he really look that much older than Joanna?

The man clenched his phone and struggled for a long time. Just before Zack drove the car into the Heath Group’s underground parking lot and he got out of the car, he finally sent a text message.

A message sent to Mr. Rowan.

Message content: Tell my image design team that from now on, my clothes shouldn’t be designed too mature and old-fashioned. They should look as youthful as possible. I mean the style that can make me look significantly younger. Do you understand what I mean?

After receiving his message, Mr. Rowan replied quickly: Mr. Ashton, are you sure it’s for you?

Ashton’s eyebrows furrowed: Of course.

Not sure if Mr. Rowan was busy with something, but it took quite a while for him to reply this time: Mr. Ashton, can I give you a call to confirm something if you’re not busy right now?

Ashton Heath: ?

Mr. Rowan: I want to make sure it’s really you who sent the message.

Ashton Heath: ...

After Joanna returned to school, she quickly got her leave approved, and it was even personally approved by the principal.

The principal’s attitude was so polite that it didn’t seem like a principal at all, almost being respectful. Not only did he personally pour water for Joanna, but when she left after her request, he also escorted her to the door.

Joanna, of course, knew why.

When she found out that a casual call from Ashton could change the time of her major classes, she realized that Ashton’s power was much greater than she had imagined.

The principal treated her so courteously, presumably because Ashton had given a heads up in advance.

Only then could she enjoy such treatment and service.

In the past, taking time off wouldn’t have been so easy.

And the approval process would never have been handled by the principal himself.

After getting her leave approved, Joanna saw that it was still early and called Aria Rowlett.

The two met outside the library.

Aria had already known that Joanna would be going out of town in three days to shoot a film for several months. As soon as she saw her, she embraced her tightly, saying reluctantly, "Baby, from today onwards, I’ll have to spend several months in an empty home. Sigh, I really can’t bear to see you go."

Joanna hugged her back, smiling sweetly: "We’ve been apart before, why are you suddenly reluctant to part with me now?"

"That’s different." Aria sighed lightly. "Back then, we both weren’t at school. But now that you’re leaving, for a long time, there won’t be anyone to accompany me to classes, meals, skipping classes, shopping, and doing a lot of other things together."
