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.
Jessie rode closer to Ashlyn, who was looking in the direction where Devin left. “Nothing. I just lost to him in a race.” “Seriously? That’s a first.” Jessie knew about Ashlyn’s skills in horsemanship, so she was surprised to hear that she had lost a race. Ashlyn shrugged and said, “I suppose there really is always…
Devin was an interesting person. He stopped chasing after Ashlyn when she said that she didn’t want to be in a romantic relationship, and he had the news about them on the Internet deleted. But Devin didn’t forget the bet between him and Ashlyn on the racecourse that day. He even called to remind her the day…
Ashlyn was surprised when she saw the last item of the auction: an excellent landscape painting from the 12th century. Its starting price was 3 million dollars. Devin confidently raised his paddle and set the bid price at 4 million. But Devin wasn’t the only one who came for this painting. Gordon and Devin battled silently, each…
The present Ashlyn didn’t look as gentle and obedient as the Ashlyn who was married to Gordon. Instead, her eyes flashed with fierce determination as she spoke with authority. Nathaniel was so angry that he nearly slapped Ashlyn on the spot. “Since you want to cut to the chase, fine. Look, how much will it take for you to…
With Denise gone, Jessie clicked her tongue in disdain. “What a rude girl! Does she always resort to fighting if she loses an argument?” In the past, Denise had splashed water on Ashlyn’s face many times, so Ashlyn knew Denise’s personality well. Glancing at Denise’s retreating figure, Ashlyn looked back at Jessie and mused, “Who knows?” Unbeknownst…
After saying that, Devin went back inside his car and sped away. He had to make things clear with his future girlfriend. When Ashlyn made it to her apartment building, it was still relatively early in the night. She was the only one in the elevator. As soon as she texted Jessie, the elevator doors slid…
Jessie sent her a barrage of messages, but Ashlyn didn’t reply. The news that Devin went to Ashlyn’s home was taken down three hours after it had been posted, but many people had seen it already. They wondered if Devin and Ashlyn were in a relationship. Of course, Gordon wasn’t left out of the picture. After all, Gordon was…
Ashlyn looked at Doran calmly. “You’ve got me all wrong. How could I threaten you? You are reluctant to leave your homes, and we don’t want to force you.” What Ashlyn meant was obvious. If the villagers agreed to the compensation plan and moved, Fairway Group would give them the compensation. Otherwise, Fairway Group would carry out…
Ashlyn struggled to free herself of his embrace, but failed. Devin held her tightly, pressing her face against his chest. His scent immediately filled her lungs, intoxicating her. She didn’t know what kind of perfume he was wearing, but Devin smelled like musky citrus. She didn’t want to cry. There was no reason for her to…
Earlier that morning, Gordon saw something intriguing on his Facebook newsfeed: photos of Devin driving her home last night. Some people even claimed that she had gotten into Devin’s car again later, and the two chatted for more than ten minutes before she got out. It was Aiken who had sent him the incriminating screenshots that…
