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.
Coincidentally, a waiter passed by with a cart of drinks. Ashlyn reached out and plucked two flutes of red wine. Before the two women could figure out what she was up to, she poured the two glasses of wine over their heads. Then she feigned an apologetic expression and said, “Oh, Gosh. I’m so sorry. I’m…
Ashlyn inherited her parents’ good looks. The strapless dress accentuated her slender waist and hung just above her ankles, showing off the classic gold anklet from the Amelia’s. Under the lights, the diamonds inlaid in the anklet were dazzling. Gordon stood in the distance and saw Ashlyn talking and laughing with a group of men. The smile on…
Stevie did calm down after a while and said, “If Denise did it, you can’t stop me and your mother from teaching her a lesson this time.” Ashlyn forced a smile as she said, “I won’t. I mean it.” Stevie nodded, satisfied. He had been holding back his anger for a long time now. If Denise…
Ever since she was born, Stevie was worried that she’d be kidnapped or harmed. So the family of three lived a modest life in an ordinary house, and in the eyes of her classmates, her family was just an ordinary one. Her parents had given her a generous allowance when she was a child, which…
Stevie had a meeting early that morning, and then his flight to Bluepond was more than two hours. He was indeed tired. “Okay.” Jessie didn’t dare to say anything more. After bidding the father-daughter duo goodbye, she left by herself. Ashlyn pulled her car to a stop in front of Stevie’s hotel. She glanced at her…
Stevie always accepted Vivien’s suggestions without question. So when Ashlyn looked to him for help, all she got in return was a helpless smile. Vivien clucked her tongue at their wordless interaction and said, “Ashlyn, this is not something personal to you. Your father is old, but rumors are rife that he has a mistress. Don’t…
Although the Jones family was rich and powerful, it was the first time that they had seen so much gold in one place. The gold bars glimmered under the lights. For a moment, everyone from the Jones family was stunned speechless. Finally, Nathaniel came to his senses and asked, “What does this mean?” Stevie answered, “We don’t like…
Gordon did know. After the news that Ashlyn was an older man’s mistress was spread out, he asked Lowell to investigate the matter. Stevie’s face wasn’t clear in the photos online, so Gordon didn’t recognize him at first. Lowell told him that the man was Stevie, but still Gordon didn’t connect the dots that Ashlyn was in fact Stevie’s daughter.…
All of a sudden, Gordon felt that Ashlyn had played him like a fool. He thought about the day he married Ashlyn and the words he had said to warn her. A fire ignited inside him and seemed to engulf his body, mind, and soul in flames. What did he say that day? “Ashlyn, just be a good…
With a wave of her hand, Ashlyn closed the door and left. She had just gotten into her car when Jessie called. She connected her phone to the car via Bluetooth and answered the call before she started driving. “Hello?” On the other end of the phone, Jessie browsed the tablet in her hands as she…
