A Love Trap

Chapter 853 Strange Hostility

"What? Do you know that woman?" Ellie asked.

Ashley stopped upon hearing the question. She looked at Ellie, confused.

"I'm not sure. But that woman looks familiar."

"Well, you'll know it when you see her up close."

Coincidentally, the apartment bought by the Li family

was right next to Ellie's, the one rented by Ellie and Ashley before.

And now that Jeremy was outside, it was impossible for them not to see him.

When they got closer, Ashley and Ellie greeted Jeremy politely.

Obviously, Jeremy was surprised to see them.

"Just the two of you?"

"Yes. Why? Who else do you expect to be with us?" Ellie replied.

Jeremy laughed. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"I just thought that your guys would be with you. I didn't expect that..."

Before he could finish his words, Ellie interrupted him, "Is she your girl..." However, her voice also trailed off.

She actually meant to ask if the woman beside Jeremy was his girlfriend.

However, when Ellie had a clear view of the woman holding Jeremy's arm, the rest of her words were stuck in her throat.

She recognized that the woman was Jeremy's sister.

But surprisingly, they were holding hands

like a couple.

They even looked so intimate.

Jeremy introduced the woman to Ellie and Ashley, "This is my sister, Angelina. I think you've already met her before."

He then let go of Angelina's hand.

Angelina froze when she saw Ashley.

She just stared at Ashley blankly.

But in her mind, she wished that Jeremy and Ashley didn't run into each other today.

When Ashley saw Angelina staring at her, she felt a bit strange. She touched her face and asked, "Is there any dirt on my face?"

Ellie turned and examined Ashley's face for a while. She then shook her head and said, "No, there isn't."

"Oh. Then why is Angelina staring at me like that?" Ashley asked.

Ellie followed Ashley's gaze and saw that Angelina was indeed, staring at Ashley without blinking.

"I don't know,"

Ellie answered.

"Angelina, what's wrong?"

Jeremy also noticed the unusual expression on Angelina's face.

Although he had just found out that she was not his long-lost biological sister, the truth had not been brought out in the open yet.

So Jeremy was still sensitive to Angelina's feelings.

He was upset because Angelina deliberately hid her real identity to him. It only meant that she purposely pretended to be the daughter of the Gu family.

Angelina had deceived all of them.

Jeremy's train of thought was disrupted by Angelina's voice, "Let's go."

Angelina took Jeremy's hand again and motioned him to leave.

It seemed like she was so eager to get out of there, away from Ashley and Ellie.

"What's the problem?" Jeremy asked. His brows creased in confusion.

Angelina weakly pulled Jeremy away.

The truth was, she was afraid to see Ashley. Every time she saw Ashley, she would always be reminded that everything she owned now was supposed to belong to Ashley.

Angelina was just a fake who stole Ashley's real identity.

Thinking about it made her panic. She was afraid that Jeremy would find out about it.

That was why Angelina wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Come on!"

Angelina tugged Jeremy's sleeve.

Jeremy's face darkened at once. He retorted, "Angelina, what are you doing? They are my friends. Can't I chat with them even for a little while?"

But Angelina didn't want to listen to Jeremy. She didn't care about what he was saying.

"If you don't want to stay, it's okay. I'll go home by myself."

Angelina then turned around and walked away.

But before she could go further, she gave Ashley a resentful look first.

Ashley was so confused.

She couldn't help but wonder about it. She thought, 'What's wrong with her?

Have I offended her before?'

Looking at Angelina's receding back, Jeremy felt that she was becoming more and more unreasonable.

He wasn't sure if it was maybe because he was full of doubts about her now. Angelina seemed to be a different person to him.

"I'm so sorry. Maybe Angelina is not feeling well," Jeremy apologized to Ashley and Ellie.

"It's alright. Go ahead and follow her. I don't want anything bad to happen to her," replied Ashley.

"Okay. You should go home early too."

"We will."

When Jeremy was gone, Ellie looked at Ashley and said, "Why do I have a feeling that Angelina is somewhat hostile to you?"

"You noticed it too?"

Ellie rolled her eyes. "She was too obvious, okay? Just by the way she looked at you just now, it was as if she wanted to eat you alive. But I don't think you know her.

Have you offended her before?"

Ashley answered innocently, "No. Just like you said, I don't know her. So, how can I offend her? After all, she is the daughter of the Gu family. With her status in life, I don't have any reason to go against her."

"Do you think she likes Andrew?" Ellie suddenly asked. "Maybe that's the reason why she is so hostile to you," she added.

Ashley fell silent for a while.

She was lost in thought.

What Ellie said was possible.

She also remembered that Lesley had once warned her about Angelina. Lesley told her that Angelina might do something against her.

But since she didn't know Angelina personally, she didn't believe it.

It was only now that she realized, Lesley seemed to be right.

Was it really because Angelina was interested in Andrew?

Ashley was rendered speechless.

Andrew had always attracted a lot of women.

Ellie burst into laughter all of a sudden.

She said to Ashley, "You'd better go back and keep an eye on your husband. Andrew is definitely popular among women."

"But Ellie, I don't think Angelina likes Andrew."

"How can you be so sure?"

"I don't know. But I just feel it. I don't think Angelina's hostility towards me has something to do with Andrew," Ashley answered.

"Don't forget that women have a strong sixth sense," Ellie rebuked.

"Okay, okay. Whatever you say," replied Ashley helplessly.

Ellie spoke again. "But have noticed how intimate Angelina and Jeremy looked earlier? Although they are siblings, I don't think they should hold hands that way."

For Ashley, it wasn't a big deal. "Some siblings do that. I don't think it's a big deal. After all, it took a while for Jeremy to find his sister. We can't blame him for being intimate with her. I think I have also seen a few intimate siblings."

Ellie rolled her eyes and said, "But they really looked weird, okay? Besides, siblings only treat each other that way when they are still kids. But when they grow up, it looks kind of disgusting."

Ashley shrugged her shoulders. "Well, don't think too much of it. It's their business anyway."
