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.
He wore a white suit that made him appear dashing and refined. “You look stunning tonight, Ashlyn.” Ashlyn grabbed the wine glass from his hand and said, “I appreciate it. And you’re quite the hunk, too!” Devin toasted Ashlyn by clinking his glass with hers. “Congratulations.” Ashlyn realized he was talking about the land in the north of…
Under Devin’s gaze, Aiken felt a bit guilty. Devin might not be able to locate Ashlyn anytime soon since she was out of sight, so Aiken succeeded in his mission. He was about to find an excuse to leave when two screams suddenly came from not far away. Ashlyn thought it would take a while for a…
The anger Denise felt was so great that she sobbed the whole way back to the lounge. The already restless crowd in the hall became much more so after such a dramatic turn of events. They expressed their opinions about Denise’s wardrobe malfunction. Their remarks were really interesting. Jessie took out her mobile phone and…
Ashlyn turned around when she calmed herself. “What do you want to say?” Gordon lowered his gaze to study Ashlyn. When he looked into her beautiful eyes, something stung his heart. Her gaze on him was frigid. But her grin was sweet and endearing when she was with Devin. A wave of overwhelming emotion washed over Gordon.…
“Are you ready, Ashlyn?” It was a 5D racing video game in which they could virtually feel the collision and fly. Before Ashlyn could react, the car drove out, hitting the guardrail beside the track. The chair monitored the collision. When Ashlyn leaned forward at the impact, the inertia almost immediately pulled her back and she thumped…
Everyone looked on, jaws hanging open in surprise. A while ago, there had been rumors that Ashlyn and Devin were together. Paparazzi had also clicked Devin walking out of Ashlyn’s apartment late at night. And today, Devin was carrying Ashlyn in his arms in front of so many people. Were they dating? “Your heels are too high…
Ashlyn returned to her apartment to change her shoes. As she looked at the white flat shoes on her feet, she thought about how she was forced to slap Devin just half an hour ago and couldn’t help but smile. Devin was really good at chasing girls. But the last thing that playboys like him…
Jessie sneered at him. “Do you think the Jones family can push Ashlyn around just because she is softhearted? Ashlyn married you because she didn’t know you all that well. Now that you are divorced, why do you still treat her like that?” Jessie rushed over to him, her fists up, but Gordon dodged her…
Still, Denise didn’t open the door. Carl remained silent for a while, his lips pressed together, before saying, “Mr. Jones has a temper, but you know he will protect his family in public. Do you want him to get angry at you right now?” Carl’s words did the job, convincing Denise to finally open the…
How was it even possible that Ashlyn had loved him for more than ten years? Jessie must have exaggerated the number. Gordon was relieved at this thought. He stubbed the cigarette in the ashtray before calling Lowell. “Ask someone to clean the office.” After that, Gordon hung up. He picked his coat up and walked…
