The villa was built on a mountaintop, so from her vantage point, she could see row after row of densely forested mountains.
As Ashley Bowen was gazing blankly at the scenery, someone called out to her, startling her.
"Imperial Concubine, His Highness's phone has been ringing nonstop. Perhaps you should answer it and see if it's something urgent." A maid stood behind her, holding out a cell phone.
Ashley Bowen glanced at the phone. After a moment's hesitation, she took it. The name on the screen was Howard.
'Who's Howard?'
She had never heard Yuri mention that name before, so she frowned, debating whether to answer.
The phone kept ringing, as if it intended to continue until she finally answered.
After a moment's thought, Ashley Bowen swiped to answer and put the phone to her ear. Before she could ask who was calling, a smooth male voice came through the line.
