Chapter 63

Zain was surprised. “How did you know? I did give the harp to Ashley. Where did you hear about it?”

To make sure they were talking about the same person and not just a coincidence of names, Martin cautiously asked, “Is the Ashley you’re talking about an actress?”

Zain spoke with pride. “Of course! Ashley is the big star of our family!” Ashley blushed, falling into silence.

She thought to herself, ‘How am I a big star?

I’m just an unknown actress.

Matthew’s facial expression froze at these words, his wide eyes making him look quite comical.

He felt like he was filled with a mix of emotions.

He thought, “That millennium-old harp is worth sixty million dollars.

‘It was really given to Ashley!’

[Holy cow, I must be dreaming.]

[What an extravagant gift! Could I ever get a chance to receive someth like this?]

[I think it’s perfect that the harp was given to Ashley. Who else but Ashley deserves it?]

[Where are Matthew’s fans now? They were so eager to insult Ashley just moments ago. Why the silence now? Are they too ashamed to show up now?]

After hanging up the phone, Martin looked at Ashley with excitement. “This is great. The harp has found the right owner. It hasn’t been wasted!”

Ashley also liked the harp very much and said earnestly, “I will take good care of this harp.”

Out of curiosity, Martin asked, “What is your relationship with Zain?”

Ashley smiled slightly, “He and my grandfather are good friends, so I’m also close to him.”

“I see,” Martin.pondered for a moment before saying, “Ashley, since Zain gave the harp to you, I won’t take any money for it. I’ve decided to gift the millennium-old harp to you free of charge!”

Miranda was so shocked at hearing this that she almost fell over. “Mr. Felix, what did you say?”

Martin laughed heartily. “I’m saying I’ll give it to Ashley for free! I’ll refund the sixty million dollars to Zain. Of course, I did so just out of respect for Ashley!

“Being able to hear Ashley play The Land today made me feel like I found a true connoisseur in sublime melody. Giving the harp to Ashley, that’s where it truly belongs!”

At that moment, everyone at the scene fell silent.

They thought, ‘A harp worth sixty million dollars.

‘He’s just giving it away.

“That’s so capricious!

‘But on second thought, it makes sense. Mr. Felix is a harp collector. He values the harp more than money.

‘Ashley’s harp playing has reached the pinnacle. Giving it to her is just right.

That millennium-old harp can then realize its fullest value.”

[Oh my, this is the first and only person I’ve seen who got the sixty million dollar freebie.]

[Is the Ramos family regretting cutting ties with Ashley now?]

With the last segment recorded, the show came to a successful close. Even after the livestream ended, the viewers felt they hadn’t seen enough.

It was a pity that Ashley was only participating in this one episode and would not be in the next.

At the show, Matthew’s eyes were intently fixed on Ashley, who was not far away, a wave of self-doubt surging in him.

He thought to himself, ‘Could it be true, as Jeremy said, that Ashley is actually quite nice?

Chapter 63

Is it the Ramos family that isn’t good enough for Ashley?”

Suddenly remembering something, Matthew took his phone back from a staff member and texted Ash.

[Ash, why haven’t you been replying to me lately?]

[Have you been busy recently?]

[Ash. I’m filming a variety show today, and one of the segments involves us playing The Land on a harp. Someone played it so similarly to you.]

Matthew thought, I wanted to say it was just like Ash’s playing.

But how can Ashley be compared to Ash?

Even if Ashley is great at the harp, in my heart, Ashley is nothing compared to Ash!’

Holding his phone with respect and devotion, Matthew sent several messages to his most revered mentor, Ash.

But he didn’t receive a single reply.

He thought, What’s going on?

‘I feel like Ash has been quite cold to me lately.

‘Cold…

Just thinking about Ash being distant made Matthew’s throat ache with discomfort, and his mind became a mess, leaving him unable to think.

He wondered, ‘Did I upset Ash?’

In a daze, Matthew looked up, glancing around blankly, and suddenly noticed Ashley not far ahead, taking out her phone to check messages.
