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 looked at Arabella, her eyebrows raised, and asked, “What can I do for you?” “Just give me five minutes,” Arabella said, walking out of the elevator and pointing to the corridor behind Ashlyn. With a slight shrug, Ashlyn turned around and walked to the end of the corridor. “Ashlyn, I’m sorry for what happened to you yesterday.…
Carl was taken aback at these words. He hadn’t expected Ashlyn to turn against him so suddenly. When he came to his senses, he said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it that way. Mr. Jones wants to see you. I hope you will come with me.” Ashlyn looked at Talia, who was standing some way from them, and…
Ordinary people could not afford the private rooms on the first floor. Only the powerful and rich people had them within reach. Two waitresses, who were on their breaks, were resting at the end of the corridor. They didn’t notice Gordon smoking in the pavilion. There were only three private rooms in the whole yard, which…
Nathaniel knocked down an ornament in his anger. The sound caught Carl’s attention. He had been standing outside the door and rushed inside at this moment. Gordon ignored the commotion and headed straight to his car. He had driven here from the company and parked his car outside the villa. Gordon got in quickly, as if Nathaniel’s spirit…
Ashlyn felt a chill creep over her. The hand she had raised to slap Gordon was now trembling. As a gust of cold wind blew, she closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down. When she opened her eyes again, there was no anger left in them; only coldness. “People make mistakes when they are young.…
He paused, glancing at Arabella before finally looking at Raina. “We made a deal that only one of you could marry into our family. I’m old now, but I don’t have Alzheimer’s disease yet. I still remember what we agreed upon. How could you both have a worse memory than me, given your age? All you…
Devin leaned closer to her ear, saying, “My sole goal now is you.” Even above the roar of the music, Ashlyn was able to hear every word of Devin’s remarks. She made no comment as she approached Jessie silently. Jessie smiled at Devin. “What a coincidence, Devin!” Devin smiled casually and said, “That’s not a coincidence.…
Jessie wasn’t convinced by it. “Ashlyn, stop being so foolish. Since Aiken is a dumbass, he wouldn’t ever figure out that you are Royi if no one told him!” “The artwork I did for Gordon three years ago was uncovered by Gordon.” Jessie was taken aback. “So Aiken also saw that artwork?” “That might be the…
At a very early hour, Ashlyn awoke. Outside, it was still raining and dark. She opened the door to the balcony. A sharp chill from the wind swept in. The land in the north of the city would be up for auction today. Ashlyn had worked hard over the last two months to acquire the land. She…
To get tens of billions in compensation, Aiken even wanted to wed Gordon and then divorce him. Sadly, that would never really occur. Ashlyn phoned Jessie after completing the necessary procedures and requested that Jessie inform Payne to delete the trending topic about Raina. Jessie was displeased to hear her demand. “Are you going to go easy…
