Ashlyn was married into the wealthy Jones family for three years, yet her position in the family was worse than that of a dog.
One day, unfortunately, she accidentally fell into the swimming pool with Arabella, the wife of the eldest son. Despite the high fever and poor health of Ashlyn her own, the family wronged, scolded, and punished her for pushing Arabella, without regard for any of her explanations.
Ashlyn used to held onto the naïve belief that her husband Gordon would someday warm up to her. When he gave her an ultimatum to kneel before the family or divorce, Ashlyn knew all her hope disappeared completely, and chose the latter in tears.
The Jones family, a well-known name in this city, had gathered to celebrate Nathaniel Jones’s eightieth birthday. The party was lively and attended by distinguished guests. Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the festive atmosphere, coming from the garden. The voice belonged to Arabella Jones, a pregnant widow of Nathaniel’s eldest grandson. The family rushed to the…
Gordon looked at the woman in front of him. Ashlyn was drenched from the previous night’s rainstorm, and her almond-shaped eyes looked weary, but they couldn’t conceal her determination. He was a little put off by her stubborn gaze. “Are you willing to admit your mistake now?” Ashlyn was stunned and her eyes widened in disbelief. She suddenly…
As the years went by, Jessie had almost lost hope and thought that they’d never divorce. Ashlyn was simply too stubborn and obsessed with Gordon. Now that Ashlyn had finally come to her senses and wanted a divorce, Jessie didn’t want to delay things anymore. She went straight to go through the discharge procedures, and then checked…
Jessie’s heart ached. She and Ashlyn had known each other since childhood. She had never seen Ashlyn, the proud and pampered Miss Ramos, cry like this. And all this was because of that bastard, Gordon! “I’ll go home as soon as I finish what I have to do here,” said Ashlyn. From the other end of…
Ashlyn walked to the sidewalk and hailed a taxi. After getting in the taxi, it zoomed past Gordon. He saw her sitting in the back seat with a cold expression. Gordon frowned and felt inexplicably irritable. He glanced at the car parking nearby, but instead of walking over, he took out a cigarette box from his pocket,…
Was Ashlyn out of her mind? It seemed she was hell-bent on taking revenge. Just as Arabella was lost in thought, the door to the ward was pushed open and a man in a perfectly tailored suit came in. His piercing eyes looked straight at her as he asked in a low voice, “Is it true?” Arabella’s…
Ashlyn instantly knew who it was. During her three years with the Jones family, she heard this woman’s sharp voice every day. Ashlyn stopped in her tracks as Denise caught up to her. “How dare you come back, Ashlyn?” Denise demanded in a shrill voice. Over the past few months, the Jones family had become the laughingstock of the…
Jessie came over and patted Ashlyn’s shoulder. “Do you still remember this guy?” “Of course!” Ashlyn replied with a smile. It had been five years since she last saw him, and Fred looked even more handsome now. Ashlyn looked the tall and handsome man up and down and raised her eyebrows. “When did you come back?” “Just…
Jessie didn’t even want to leave. “Oh, my God! I think we can start a new career together!” Taking the glass of warm water from Fred’s hand, Ashlyn glanced at Jessie and said wryly, “What’s the point? I know you’ll change your mind right after our debut.” Ashlyn knew her best friend well. She reasoned that Jessie’s…
Choosing to marry Ashlyn was a decision out of sheer convenience. He needed a wife at the time, and Ashlyn just so happened to be there. But after three years of marriage, did he really not develop any feelings for her? Thinking of the gentleman standing next to Ashlyn earlier, Gordon felt a little irked. He pulled over, rolled…
