Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254

I put my phone away and was about to get in the car.

But then, I heard someone say, “Tsk, what a busy girl.”

The male voice was laced with sarcasm, which made me reflexively turn toward it.

I froze when I saw who was leaning against the wall–it was Noah’s uncle, Mr. Ashford.

“First, you managed to coax your ex–husband into willingly working for you for free. Next, you had the owner of a small pharmacy chain donate medical equipment for you.

“Then, you spent the whole night conversing with an academic professor. And lastly, you still remembered to buy food for your ‘little brother‘ before you went home.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your methods and time management skills are truly impressive, Ms. Quill,” Mr. Ashford stated.

I was stunned. His comment about my time management skills wasn’t wrong–my day had indeed been packed.

But still…

“Why do you know what I’ve been doing all day, Mr. Ashford?” I questioned.

Had he been monitoring me?

Mr. Ashford seemed to be able to tell what I was thinking because he scoffed and said, “Any woman who hangs around the sole heir of the Ashford family needs to be thoroughly vetted.”

Considering Noah’s identity, Mr. Ashford’s words made sense. Thus, I didn’t question him further.

Suddenly, he closed the distance between us. Before I could react, he grabbed my chin. Then, he forcefully tilted my face up to meet his gaze.

His eyes

were sharp and hawk–like as they scanned over my features.

“What an ordinary face,” he said in a bored tone,

I was speechless.

While I wouldn’t call myself a world–class beauty, I had been the campus belle throughout my schooling life.

No, that didn’t matter right now.

My expression became stern. Just as I was about to tell Mr. Ashford to release me, he did so on his own.

Sneering, he mockingly said, “So what’s the outcome of your fingerprint investigation?”

My expression darkened at his words.

I had been worried he would interfere with my plan to test Lumi’s fingerprints, given that he had overheard it Hence, I took the faucet to the campus lab and personally conducted the testing. However, the fingerprints weren’t a match to Julianne’s at all.

“Stop wasting time on things beyond you,” Mr. Ashford said, then left.

It seemed he was just here to warn me not to mess with Lumi because she was his savior.

I scowled after he got into a black MPV nearby.

His warning didn’t faze me. I had always held grudges ever since I was a child. Given that Julianne had tried

multiple times to kill me, I wasn’t going to give up until I had sent her to prison.

Besides, she had always hated me. And based on how strongly she did, she would surely try everything to kill me once she had the means. Both of us were stuck in a perpetual “kill or be killed” cycle.
