Public opinions were hard to dispute. No matter what she did, it would almost certainly prove the rumor. Even if she posted a negative pregnancy test online, no one would believe it was real. Ashlyn thought it was best to keep quiet and try to find the culprit who started the rumor than to dispute…
Arabella didn’t understand why they should not tell the public Ashlyn was pregnant with Devin’s child. Still, she followed her sister’s instructions and stopped worrying about it. Nothing mattered as long as Raina ended up marrying into the Jones family and they could live a better life. “I’ll tell someone right away!” Arabella exclaimed. “Wait,”…
Carl inwardly scoffed at Raina’s pitiful act. He wasn’t going to waste any more time on them. He refused to take the check, however, because he knew they would need the money to carry out the plan. “I don’t think saying anything else is necessary. Goodbye.” Carl stood to leave.

Gordon had never been humble to anyone before. He had humblehimself to Ashlyn that night and she had just slapped him in theface Gordon even doubted that the messages on Ashlyn’s phon:documenting her love for him were all fake.
