Chapter 332 - Let's See Who Goes To Jail...

"Do you mean that the IMPA convention is considered one of the largest conventions for marine industries?" Ashley excitedly asked.

Celia nodded while explaining every purpose of this event and what they should do to maximize their sales. When Celia finished explaining everything to Ashley and Sato, that was the only time she stopped talking.

"Well, since you seem like an expert about this convention, I need you there. And where will this event take place?" Ashley further questioned because she couldn't remember if they had told her already or not.

When Celia heard that she would be going there too, a broad smile appeared on her lips. Her eyes widened in excitement. "Ma'am, I have something to ask if it is okay," Celia inquired Ashley, who was also excited that she would be attending her very first convention.

"What is it?" Ashley asked.

"Because the event will be held in Orlando, Florida, can I bring my children with me?"

"Ha! What!" Ashley shouted, which surprised Celia and led her to think that Ashley was mad.

"Ma'am, it's okay if I can't. I was just asking since we are planning to have a vacation there someday.

Now that there is a chance, I thought I could kill two birds with one stone," Celia explained.

"What do you mean that you can't? Hahaha! I was just surprised because you said that the event would happen in Orlando, Florida. Is Disney World located there, right? Then, I have no problem if you bring your children. I think I might do the same thing. I will also bring my whole family so they can have a vacation and see Disney World. Hahaha! This is good. I am sure my mom and dad will be delighted," Ashley sang excitedly to the two.

Even Sato was excited since it was his dream to set foot on Disney World since he was a child… 

When Ashley and Celia's meeting ended, Celia returned to her work with a big smile on her lips. At the same time, Ashley and Sato were also excited and started planning what they were going to do. 

"Ma'am, can we invite Fumika? She has no family here, and she's alone in the hotel. If we will be gone for a week, what would she do?" Sato asked his boss, his eyes begging. 

"Hahaha! I was planning on letting her come with us. If I just rely on you, I don't know what will happen. Once we arrive in Florida, you might go to the nightclubs out there. Hahaha!" Ashley sang happily while they were on their way to the office.

Once they arrived at the office's reception area, Fumika approached her with a pale face and was visibly nervous. 

"Why is your face pale? What's happening inside? You're trembling! Ashley asked, concerned about what was happening. Sato was also ready to go inside Ashley's office to investigate.

Ashley immediately stopped him. "Sato, wait! Let's first find out what's happening, okay?" Then she shifted her attention back to Fumika. 

"Ma'am, Miss… Miss Yamaguchi came back with the police, and I don't know why." Fumika was scared while she spoke and looked greatly bothered. 

When Ashley heard this, she quickly entered her office. 

Everyone in the office looked at her when she entered her office, as though she were being chased by death. 

"Good that you're here already," Tanaga declared. He then walked towards his wife and held her shoulders.

Ashley roamed her eyes around her office. She saw Ohani sitting on the corner of a sofa, while Koji was seated on the right side in a separate sofa. Two officers were also standing there but didn't know what to do. 

"That's her! Officers, she's the one who hurt me! She's jealous of me! Who does she think I am?!" Ohani shouted while her index finger pointed at Ashley.

The two officers were speechless because Tanaga was holding Ashley's shoulders, and his face was dark.

"Officer, I think you're making a mistake in believing that woman. If I were you, it is better to take that girl. But not to jail – rather a mental hospital," Tanaga furiously told the two officers. 

"I-I'm sorry, sir. We just needed to talk to your wife. Miss Yamaguchi filed a case towards her, and we need to investigate it," one of the officers replied to Tanaga while looking straight at him. 

"No problem, but you have to talk to my wife here and not in the precinct. Understood?" Tanaga's voice was loud and fierce. 

"Yes, sir!" The other officer then switched his attention to Ashley. "Ma'am, can I ask you a few questions? This will not take long, and we just want to do our job," one of the officers explained. 

Ashley smiled. "Sure! Take a seat, please." Ashley invited the two officers before signaling Sato to bring drinks for them. 

Koji was just silent. He knew that Tanaga wouldn't let his wife be in danger, but if he had to speak for Ashley, he would do it without hesitation. 

The police started giving questions to Ashley. 

"Is it true that you hit Miss Yamaguchi because you're jealous of her?" 

Ashley replied confidently, "Yes, and no."

The police's forehead creased, puzzled on what she just said. "Would you mind elaborating what you mean?" 

Ashley smiled a bit before answering, "She was here earlier, slandering me. She was saying that I had an affair with someone and that I'm putting shit on my husband's head. I didn't like what she said so I gave her a couple of slaps on her face." She didn't blink when she spoke. "About me being jealous of her: there's no way in hell that I'd be jealous of her. So, the answer to that is no," Ashely bravely added. 

"Do you mean that you just slapped her, but you're not the one who gave her bruises in her body? Does this mean-" The officer didn't have time to finish his sentence when Tanaga interrupted. 

"Excuse me, Mr. Police Officer. She left here saying she would take revenge. She said it that time because we caught her doing some bad things. She left here without any bruises on her body, so we don't know where that came from. She might've inflicted it on herself and showed up like that to you. "

When the two officers heard what Tanaga said, they looked at Ohani, shaking their heads. 

The two officers stood up. "Sir, ma'am! We apologize for the inconvenience. We made a mistake listening to her. We'll inform our station that Miss Yamaguchi made this all up." Saying that the officers took their leave.
