Lena stared at Ashley with her evil eyes. "What do you want?" she asked.
Ashley leaned her head towards her left shoulder and replied, "Can't you tell?"
Even though Lena was trying her best to struggle, Ashley held her down in bed. She couldn't do
anything to stop the recording.
No one knew from where Ashley had mustered up the strength to hold her down.
The first part of the conversation was all about Lena showing of her baby and trying to make Ashley
envious of her.
However, Ashley's response was very calm. She sounded like she couldn't have cared less about what
Lena had to show off.
"Ashley, tell me why! How can you be so calm? Tell me! Isn't he the one whom you have loved so
much? How can you be so composed after knowing that I am having his baby?"
Everyone could hear the hysterical, hate, and evilness in Lena's words.
Ashley seemed to have gotten used to her craziness. Her voice came from the recording.
"What exactly is it that you want? If you don't have anything important to say, I have to go."
Everyone could tell how much Ashley wanted to leave the room from the way she was talking.
A sudden loud thump could be heard in the recording. It sounded like something had hit a wall.
It was so loud that everyone frowned.
Raymond assumed, that was when Ashley became impatient, so she pushed Lena against the wall. He
shot Ashley a hateful look.
However, in the next second, he was stunned.
What Ashley said to Lena had shocked him to the core.
"Lena! What are you doing? That's your baby!"
It was Ashley's voice. She sounded horrified. And she sounded like Lena was doing something
unimaginable.
Lena was hysterical. She looked at Raymond in a panic and screamed, "Raymond, please stop
listening! Please don't listen to it anymore! It's not real! It's not real!"
Lena tried really hard to get off the bed and run to Raymond. However, Ashley was not going to let it
happen.
She covered Lena's mouth and pressed her down on the bed.
The recording kept playing. "I know it's my baby! So what? I never fancied Raymond. I just couldn't
stand seeing how much he cared about you. So I took him away from you!
You're nothing more than just a girl that my parents adopted. You don't deserve him! You don't deserve
his care and his heart. Initially, I just wanted to see how much he cared about you. I never thought that
he would mistakenly sleep with me, thinking that it was you.
Do you know what had surprised me the most? That is, in the whole three years that you two dated,
you never spent a night with him. So it was much easier than I had expected to take him away from
you.
But I'm sick of him now. I want to be the wife of the Lu Group's CEO. I want to be Andrew's wife! I am
going to replace you!"
Raymond froze when he heard what Lena said in the recording.
Ashley wasn't sure which part that he heard had caused Raymond's reaction. He just stood there in
utter shock.
When the recording had finished, Raymond was still rooted to the same spot.
Ashley released Lena once the recording had finished. "All right. That's all I wanted you to hear. Sorry
for bothering you. I won't come to visit anymore."
At the same moment, Shea put his phone away. He approached Lena and said. "Are you Miss Mu?
The false information you had posted on the Internet is entitled to framing my client. We will be taking
legal action against you..."
Suddenly a thump was heard behind them at the door. It sounded like something had fallen on the
ground.
Turning to see what it was, Ashley found Cora gaping in shock by the door. No one knew when she
had come into the room. The lunch box that she had brought for Lena had dropped to the ground.
There was no love lost between Ashley and Cora. Her task of exposing Lena's true character and what
she had done, was completed. She didn't want to stay any longer.
Ashley started to walk out of the room with Shea and Johnny.
When she was passing Cora, Cora looked at her but she didn't say anything.
Ashley raised her brows in surprise.
Cora had never given her a nice look. In the past, she would never let Ashley walk by without sneering
at her.
It seemed that what Lena had said in the recording really shocked her. She didn't even have the heart
to give Ashley a hard time.
But Ashley didn't care either way.
Karma is a bitch. What goes around comes around.
Lena brought it all onto herself. She made her bed, and now she must lie in it.
Raymond was dragged out of his shocked trance by the noise. He looked in the direction of the door
and found his mother standing there.
He had a bad feeling. He didn't know how much of the recorded conversation his mother had
overheard. He asked, "Mother, why are you here?"
Cora's good mood had faded away completely. She sneered, "Why am I here? If I didn't come here, I
wouldn't have ever known that my grandchild was killed by his own mother!"
Cora glared at Lena, who was hopelessly lying on the bed. Cora's eyes were full of hate and disgust.
The love and care she had towards Lena was all gone.
Lena was getting panicky. She explained, "Mrs. Luo, Raymond, please listen to me! I can explain! It's
not what you're thinking!"
She didn't have any time to think about anything else. She jumped out of bed and quickly went to
Raymond barefooted. "Raymond, please believe me! I love you so much! How could I kill our child?
Raymond! I love you! You have to trust me..."
Grabbing hold of Raymond's hand, she frantically tried to explain herself.
In her heart, she was screaming Ashley's name out in hate. She couldn't believe what Ashley just did to
her.
Lena never thought that Ashley would have the chance to clear her name.
The regret of not checking Ashley's phone the other day when she had the chance, was coming back
to her like a heavy flood.
She couldn't feel more regretful.
However, there was no use for it now. What was done was done. She knew the only thing left for her to
do now was try and win back their trust.
She could only try to explain! As long as they believed in her, she would be fine!
Cora snatched Raymond's hand away from Lena's. Lena looked at Cora in sheer panic.
Seeing how desperate Lena was, Cora sneered, "What now? Are you still trying to lie to Raymond?
Haven't you done enough?"
Pushing Raymond behind her back, she continued, "I can't believe I took the day off to make you soup!
I would never have expected something as horrible as this, from you!"
Looking down at the mess on the ground and smelling the delicious soup, Cora couldn't have felt the
moment to be more ironic than it was now.
She had treated Lena so well. She already considered Lena as her daughter. Cora would never have
thought that Lena could be so heartless.
