When Betsy was ‘invited’ to the hotel by Talia’s men, she was fed some sleeping pills.
At about 4 p.m., they brought her to this particular room.
Betsy had remained passed out for more than three hours and she was not going to wake up anytime soon if left alone.But when the water landed on her face, she screamed.She felt her face with her hands and saw that it was wet with water.
Someone had poured water on her.She became furious.
‘Who did this?’ ‘Hello, Betsy.
I’m Ashlyn Ramos’ Betsy’s face froze and her eyes went wide.
Forgetting all about the cold water that had been poured on her face, Betsy quickly sat up on the bed, making the water flow down her hair and clothes.
Betsy tried to wipe the water off her hair with her hands.
All the while, her eyes were fixed on Ashlyn and the guilt was clearly written on her face, but she tried hard to look unfazed.
‘I…I don’t think I know you’ she said, feigning ignorance.’Oh, really? Look at this then’ With a smile, Ashlyn threw a document containing the record of several transactions and a photo of the woman who had deceived her that night when she was drugged.
‘Are you sure you don’t know me?’ she asked again.
Betsy only took a brief look at the document and photo and her face immediately turned pale.
There was now no doubt that Ashlyn was fully aware of what she had done.
‘What do you want?’ Betsy asked.
Ashlyn laughed at Betsy’s question.
“Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that? I don’t think we hold any grudge against each other.It seems we’ve never even met each other before.I didn’t even know you until recently.So, why did you hire someone to drug me?”
Even though there was a faint smile on Ashlyn’s face, Betsy was scared.She looked around frantically and found that she was in a hotel room.She felt slightly relieved and began to calm herself down a little.
Then she turned to Ashlyn.
“As you said, you didn’t know me, and I didn’t know you either.Why would I drug you?”
Ashlyn laughed and shook her head.
“It seems you still don’t want to admit it, eh?”
After a slight pause, she added, “But it doesn’t matter.I’m not here for a question-and-answer session.You know what? I won’t attack anyone as far as I’m left alone.But if I’m attacked, I’ll make sure that that person has a taste of their own medicine.You carefully prepared a very elaborate trap for me, but I don’t have such a clever mind as you, so I would have to do it the best way I can.”
Betsy’s heart sank immediately.
“You know murder is illegal, right?”
“Of course, I know that.”
Ashlyn smiled.
This statement scared Betsy even more.
“You are beautiful and rich.Both Devin and Gordon love you so much.You don’t have to do this.”
“So, you drugged me because of Devin?”
Betsy’s heart leaped into her throat as she saw Ashlyn approaching her. She shrank back and began to beg profusely.
“I’m sorry.I was just crazy.I’ve been in love with Devin for many years, but he doesn’t like me and has refused me many times.In the past six months, I’ve been hearing a lot of people say that Devin was chasing you.Last month, I went to him and told him that I didn’t mind being the side piece as long as I was with him, but he refused.He said you didn’t like playboys!”
Betsy’s face suddenly looked fierce when she said this.
“While he was talking about you, his expression was so dreamy and gentle.I’ve never seen him like that before.He must really love you.I admit you’re beautiful, but you already have Gordon.Why do you still want to take Devin from me? AllI did was drug you and give you a chance to get back together with Gordon.I really didn’t do anything wrong!”
The more Betsy talked, the fiercer her expression became.
Clearly, she was obsessed with Devin.
“So, you felt you were doing me a favor?” Ashlyn asked in surprise.
Then she shook her head with a self-pitying smile.
“How come I didn’t think of that?”
Betsy quickly came back to her senses and recalled just how much trouble she was in.
Instantly, the fierce expression on her face disappeared and the fear returned to her eyes.
“Miss Ramos, I didn’t mean to do it.I was just very jealous of you.Please forgive me, I beg you! Anyway, you love Gordon and he loves you too.You can just seize this opportunity and get back together. I know what I did wasn’t very legal, but I didn’t have any bad intentions!”
By now, Ashlyn’s patience had been exhausted and she no longer had any wish to keep bantering aimlessly with Betsy.
“You not only did something illegal, but it was also a very morally wrong act.I’m a good, law-abiding citizen, so I won’t kill anyone.But there will be an eye for an eye.That’s my style.”
Hearing this, Betsy swallowed in apprehension.
What sort of revenge would Ashlyn exact on her? Ashlyn stretched her open palm out to her secretary and said, “Talia, give it to me.”
Talia had already prepared the pills.
When she heard Ashlyn mention it, she quickly pulled out the small medicine bottle from her bag and poured the pills into the palm of Ashlyn’s hand.
“Betsy, do these pills look familiar to you?”
Ashlyn held out her hand, so Betsy could clearly see the two pills.
Betsy didn’t need a second look to know what kind of pills they were.
“Those pills are illegal.”
“I know that.” Ashlyn smiled.
“But didn’t you drug me with such a pill first?”
Betsy’s face froze instantly.She knew exactly what Ashlyn was talking about.
If Betsy called the police, so would Ashlyn.
The pills were found on Betsy.
Ashlyn could easily explain this away, whereas Betsy could not.
Ashlyn had a powerful background, but Betsy didn’t.
If the police were involved, Betsy would be in big trouble.
Betsy was not a fool.She considered it for a moment before deciding.
Betsy thought it was not a bad idea for Ashlyn to get even with her like this.
As long as she could take a pill and survive the night, everything would be fine.
“Will you let me go after I take it? Our score will be settled, deal?” Ashlyn scoffed.
“You are a clever woman.”
While speaking, she held her hand out further and added, “Since you are so smart, I don’t think you need my men to help you with it, right?”
Betsy had been crying before.Her face was tear-stained, and her makeup was ruined.
Betsy lowered her head and looked at the pills.
Gritting her teeth, she took one and tossed it into her mouth.
“I hope you can keep your promise.”
“Of course, but there is another pill.”
Betsy, who had just swallowed the pill, took in those words and looked up at Ashlyn fearfully.
“I only gave you one…”
“That’s true, but I like to return it in double.”
Betsy was shocked. She already felt uncomfortable after taking only one pill.
If she took one more, she could lose control over herself.But obviously, Ashlyn wasn’t giving her any choice.
“I’d hate to use force.”
