Chapter 473:
Listening to Selena, Ashton felt a mix of embarrassment and pride; her feisty spirit was proof enough of her improving condition, eliminating any need for further check-ups.
Keira, now visibly infuriated, her features twisted in anger, hissed through clenched teeth, “Fine! You dare insult me like this? Do you even realize this studio is owned by my partner? Since you’ve treated me with such disrespect, you can forget about using this studio today p>
With a smirk, Ashton playfully retorted, “And do you actually have the authority to decide that p>
Ashton had selected this studio after Ellis had somehow learned about their promotional video shoot and extended an invitation. Ellis owned the studio and had promised optimal filming conditions for Ashton.
Given Ellis’ good standing with Abrial, Ashton had hesitantly agreed to come.
Now, hearing Keira’s assertions, Ashton suspected that it was Ellis who had invited her.
Having successfully hooked up with a wealthy young man, Keira couldn’t hide her satisfaction. She was so caught up in her own pride that Ashton’s mocking grin went unnoticed as she beamed confidently.
With a touch of arrogance, Keira scoffed, “Of course, I’m entitled! Do you think everyone is like you? Sure, Ellis doesn’t cling to my every word, but he’s definitely accommodating! He granted all my wishes yesterday, so why would he deny such a minor request now p>
As Keira boasted about Ellis, Ashton’s grin widened, amusement flickering in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Selena, who was new to the dynamics between Ashton and Ellis, remained clueless about their connection. She had traveled to Staville to help her sister and Ashton shoot a promotional video for their company.

However, Keira’s smug look immediately ignited Selena’s ire.
With a glare, Selena snapped decisively, “Alright, we won’t film here! Come on, Ashton. Staville isn’t limited to just this studio. Why should we bother with that bitch’s nonsense? Making it seem like being with a wealthy man is such a big achievement p>
Selena moved, ready to draw Ashton away from the situation.
Her words clearly struck a nerve with Keira.
Just a short while earlier, Keira had been smugly satisfied, but Selena’s sarcastic remarks left her increasingly irate. On impulse, Keira stepped forward, aiming a slap at Selena.
Ashton quickly intervened, positioning himself protectively in front of Selena. He caught Keira’s arm with ease, pushing her back.
His push was gentle, yet it was enough to throw Keira off balance, especially in her high heels, causing her to tumble awkwardly to the floor.
The lounge was sparsely populated, yet she felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her.
Fueled by resentment, she decided to escalate the matter. She snatched up her phone, dialed a number with a defiant glare at Ashton, and spat out her challenge. “Really, teaming up against me? Two on one? If you think you’re so tough, then don’t even think about leaving today. I want to see how you handle facing off with me later p>
