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.
Ashlyn had been quiet since she got into the car and this got him concerned. “Are you not happy either?” “Why do you ask?” Ashlyn asked and turned to look at him. “Do you want to comfort me?” “There is nothing wrong with us comforting each other.” Ashlyn smiled and asked, “Tell me why you are in a…
Ashlyn held Devin’s gaze and asked softly, “So what are you going to do?” Devin suddenly broke into a smile. Then, without answering, he took out his cell phone and dialed Gordon’s number. Then he put the call on speaker for Ashlyn to hear their conversation. Several seconds later, the call connected. After a long pause, Gordon’s…
At that moment, Ashlyn’s phone vibrated, signaling a new message. Ashlyn lowered her head to check and saw that Devin had sent her a text just now. It read, “The media is coming.” Once she finished reading, Ashlyn raised her head to look at Devin who was also gazing back at her. She smiled. “This is really…
It was not that Gordon didn’t want Raina to be known to others. Rather, he didn’t want her to be referred to as his girlfriend. Nevertheless, as soon as Gordon took Raina by the wrist, Devin said, “Look, Gordon and his girlfriend.” Gordon could sense Devin’s sarcasm in his words despite the fact that they were more than ten…
The softness on Raina’s face was gone as soon as the elevator doors closed. A hint of resentment flickered over her face. Gordon’s reaction to her return was quite different from what she had anticipated. Raina returned to her room, clenching her teeth. Arabella, seeing that she had opened the door, rushed forward to inquire,…
“Ashlyn, how about we give him a ride? After all, he is an acquaintance.” Devin still sounded cool, watching as the cigarette smoke puffed out of Gordon’s nostrils. Ashlyn leaned forward and narrowed her eyes at Gordon’s broken car. Her lips curved into a mischievous smile. “What does it have to do with me?” More than…
Ashlyn smiled at his words and said, “What do I want? I think I should be asking you this question.” Gordon’s face darkened, seeing that she wasn’t going to admit it. “You got the reporters, and you said all that to them on purpose. You exposed Raina to the public to make people think that I…
Aiken’s words hit the nail on the head. Gordon opened his mouth, wanting to say something to refute him, but was at a loss for words. It was true that he had never felt sorry for Ashlyn. He had proposed to marry her, yes, but it was because she had set him up that night. He…
He knew that if he beat Gordon up because of Ashlyn, the Jones family would give her hell. But now the situation was different. Ashlyn and Gordon had divorced, so he didn’t have to worry about the Jones family making things difficult for her. Thinking of this, Devin threw punches faster and heavier. After being punched in the face, Gordon felt…
As soon as he opened his mouth, the sharp pain at the corner of his mouth reminded him of what happened last night. After hanging up, Gordon checked his phone and saw all the messages Raina and Arabella sent him half an hour ago. Instantly, he knew that something was wrong. He logged onto Twitter and saw…
