?Chapter 796:
“Mr. Ashton has been heading straight back to the Ashton family home after leaving the officetely,” the assistant responded.
Leah’s furrowed brow softened slightly. “Make sure to keep an eye on him for me. There will be a reward in it for you.”
The assistant, understanding the stakes, responded with a respectful, “Yes, Mrs. Ashton.”
After ending the call, Leah prepared to leave in a taxi. Suddenly, the sound of a car horn startled her. She turned to find the window of a nearby car slowly rolling down, revealing Andromache’s striking face.
“Andromache,” Leah eximed, surprised, as she hurried toward the vehicle. “What brings you here?”
“I was taking care of some business nearby,” Andromache exined. “Hop in.”
Leah nodded. “Alright.”
As she slid into the car, Leah noticed an invitation lying on the seat beside Andromache. “Are you going to the charity event tonight?” Leah asked.
Andromache nced at her with a sharp look. “Are you attending?”
“Yes,” Leah answered. “After everything that’s happened recently, I need to do something to repair my reputation.”
This charity event was going to be different from the usual ones.
This time, every guest was required to donate an item for the auction, whether it was jewelry or something they were already wearing. The proceeds would go to charity.
With such a condition, everyone was eager to outshine the others, especially considering that the guests were all prominent figures from Lyhaton. Who wouldn’t want to be the center of attention?
To stir even more excitement, the organizers had set up a special auction segment. The top five bidders would have the exclusive opportunity to bid on the evening’s most coveted item.

Given the wealth of the attendees, and the fact that only five slots were avable, thepetition was bound to be intense.
To heighten the mystery and anticipation, the organizers had already released a mosaic image of the highlight item, obscuring its full appearance. It was as if they’d ced a veil of secrecy over it, teasing everyone’s curiosity.
“If that’s the case, I’m definitely intrigued,” Andromache said, her fingers resting thoughtfully on her temple, a knowing glimmer in her eyes.
While she wasn’t particrly interested in the final auction item, she was more keen on showing off her wealth.
“Do you have timeter?” Andromache asked. “Why don’t you join me for some shopping to pick out a dress for tonight?”
Leah smiled warmly. “Of course.”
At Modern Square, Corrine had spent the day shopping with Karina, but thetter still hadn’t found a dress that felt right.
