"I won't be able to rest until I know Elise is safe. I'm getting out." Ashley Bowen pushed the car door open and got out without a second thought.
She was completely unaware that her actions had wounded the sensitive man.
Jenson Shelby glanced at Yuri Sinclair, then silently followed Ashley Bowen out of the car.
Only after the car had driven off did Sean finally venture, "Your Majesty, why did you agree to let the Imperial Concubine get out? You didn't actually want her to go back with Jenson Shelby, did you?"
"Mind your own business! Don't ask questions you're not supposed to ask!" Yuri Sinclair's face was grim, his voice frigid.
Sean lowered his head and replied softly, "Yes."
Stranded on the roadside, Jenson Shelby tried to hail a cab while Ashley Bowen ordered a car through a rideshare app on her phone.
"Okay, Jenson, the car's here. The license plate is N34857."
The two got into the car and hurried toward the villa.
The moment the car stopped, Ashley Bowen bolted out.
