Ashley came to Sacred Heart Orphanage for several days to play games with the children and bring them snacks.

Of course, she had to go all out if she was going to make this her personality. She wanted all the children to like her to improve her own image.

"A lovely man and woman have arrived! They brought us many toys!" some children shouted from the playground. Soon, all the children ran over.

Ashley was cast aside, causing her to frown. "Sebastian and Rebecca? What are they doing here?"

"Charity. Thomas frowned.

Since Josie became Ashley's manager, Thomas had decided to stay beside Ashley as her assistant. Ashley had grown accustomed to relying on him, so naturally, she wouldn't let him leave her anymore. "Josie has gone too far!" Ashley was so angry that her eyes reddened.

She thought, "When I come to do charity at the orphanage, Josie has to come and join in too! To what extent does she plan to do with this? Josie would not be alive today if I had not listened to Hazel and not hurt her!"

"Don't be mad. Listen to Ms. Locke. You have to take things slowly and build your own image first." Thomas reminded Ashley.

Ashley clenched her fists tightly and snorted.

At this moment, Rebecca came over with a mocking smile. "Do you know why the children prefer to play with Sebastian rather than you? This is due to their ability to distinguish between good and evil. They can tell who is genuinely being sincere to them. How can they like you if you don't like them?"

"Rebecca, why are you so arrogant? Even if Josie prefers you now, how long can it last?" Ashley retorted angrily.

"Oh, why doesn't Jo favor you then?" Rebecca raised her hand and flicked her hair, trying to provoke Ashley.

"Let's see how long it will last!" Ashley snorted and left.

Rebecca rolled her eyes and thought, "Does she have persecutory delusions? Or does she just love giving people a hard time?" "Sebbie, drink some water." Rebecca tried to pass Sebastian a bottle of water after noticing him and the children playing together, Recently, Sebastian had been avoiding her whenever he saw her. Although Rebecca didn't care about it, she still felt slightly unsettled. She thought Sebastian would ignore her, but he walked over to her obediently.

She mused. "It's probably because these kids are too difficult to handle"

Rebecca was holding two bottles of water and was about to give Sebastian the new, unopened bottle of water.

However, Sebastian took the other bottle and drank it.

"Oh Rebecca realized that he had drunk from her bottle.

"What's wrong?" Sebastian asked in confusion.

I already drank from this bottle, hved her hand nervously. She thought, "Sebastian has mysophobia. If he finds out that

"Oh, it's nothing." Rebecca hurriedly

I already drank from this bottle, he will be pissed. I'd better not tell him then."

Meanwhile, in the director's office, the director said to Josie, "Ms. Yates, please have a seat." The director was a woman in her fifties who had not retired yet.

"Hello, I'm Henry's wife. Do you still remember me?" Josie came here once before getting married to Henry.

The director smiled and nodded. "I remember you. Henry comes here every year. He's also the one who invested in a new garden for the orphanage. Without him, these kids..."

The director sighed..

"I want to know something, but I don't know if it's appropriate to ask you now." Josie placed the childhood photos of Henry and Ashley from when they were in the orphanage in front of the director.

The director was momentarily stunned. Ashley had sent someone over to her just now to tell her, "For the sake of the reputation of the orphanage, you have to know what to say and what not to say." "What do you wish to know, Ms. Yates? The director took off her glasses.

"What did Henry go through in the orphanage? Did Ashley really save him?" Josie asked bluntly.

The director glanced around her surroundings and fell silent for a long moment.

1. up. He 'Henry's mother abandoned him at the orphanage's door when he was very young. When we found him, he was sobbing so hard that he was about to pass out. He stayed in the orphanage for several years, waiting for his mother to pick him gradually forgot his longing as he waited."

Josie listened quietly without saying anything.

"Before being adopted by the Gibson family, there were several families who wanted to adopt Henry. At that time, he was known as Sparkle, and he was a lovely child." The director paused for a moment. She continued, "Several families, however, returned him because he had serious psychological problems as a result of being abandoned. He was unwilling to communicate with others and had a violent streak. The doctor diagnosed him with bipolar disorder, warning that he would become a heartless person and unable to be grateful or love others."

Josie's fingers stiffened as she looked up at the director. She thought, "Henry seems to have an extremely tough childhood."

"But you

asked about Ashley saving Henry. The children play around with one another. As Sparkle was the youngest boy in the orphanage, he was often bullied by other children. When Ashley came to the orphanage, her parents had passed away. She was called Snow then. The two youngest children were often bullied together. Although Sparkle was small, he would fight back every time, and those children would only bully them harder. One cold day, our teacher didn't notice the children's pranks. They had pushed Sparkle into the cellar and locked him up all night. Nobody knew how he had survived. When we found him, his entire body had turned blue from the cold."

Josie's breathing was ragged. She had never considered wanting to know about these things before getting married.

"It was snow who found us and cried, saying she wanted to see Sparkle. Then she took us to the cellar to find the unconscious Sparkle. If we had arrived later, we might be unable to save him." Josie sat back on the couch, suddenly understanding why Henry felt such a strong obsessive desire to protect Ashley.

Ashley was the person who rescued him in his darkest hour as a child.

If Ashley hadn't found him, Henry might have died then.

Josie's fingers were trembling, and she didn't speak for a long time.

"Then, Sparkle's illness became worse. He didn't even want the teachers to come near him. He would glare at anyone who approached him. This was until Mr. Gibson adopted him. We were worried about whether Sparkle would get sent back again, but it didn't happen. Mr. Gibson really took good care of him. The director smiled.

"Ashley saved Henry..." Josie had been wondering whether it was a lie that Ashley saved Henry. If that were the case, Henry would no longer protect Ashley if she made a mistake again. However, it turned out to be true.

Even if it were true, it should not be used to excuse Ashley from all of her wrongdoings.

Perhaps she had shown kindness to Henry at that time, but what she had done to Zachary and the Long family was unforgivable.

The director hesitated for a long time before uttering, "Ms. Yates, in fact, the charity organization was worried about the mental health of these orphans, so they let these children undergo a psychological examination. Snow, who is Ashley now, was a little strange. I have a strong impression of her. She's strange, but she's definitely not a kind person...

Josie glanced at the director and was slightly confused. "What do you mean?"

"Snow was also returned by an adoptive family. The adopter's name was Jeremy, and he was my high school classmate. He was a nice person, but... The director sighed.
