“He lied and said that he had gone abroad for a business trip, but it was actually for him to recover. For
you, his health greatly deteriorated at that time. Just go through your memories of that moment again,
and you’ll know whether or not I’m lying to you. With how smart you are, I’m sure you’ll come to the
right conclusion.”
Finally, Jared spilled the secret he had been keeping deep in his mind. At that very moment, he felt a
weight lifting off his shoulders.
He could barely keep it a secret from the person closest to him anymore.
It was especially so when he saw that the two were a couple who could not be together. Even he was
anxious for them.
“I had done the wrong thing tonight. I shouldn’t have hidden that from you. I’ll take the punishment for it,
and I swear I won’t do it again.” With that said, he went to the training room and punished himself by
doing shooting practices two hundred times.
In the blink of an eye, the living room was empty. Ashlyn stayed in her spot as the entire world seemed
to turn white around her. At that second, it felt as if she was the only one in the world.
No wonder… No wonder he said he was going on a business trip back then. I was so glad that I didn’t
need to see him every day at that time since I wouldn’t have needed to lie about my condition to him to
prevent him from finding out. But as it turns out… He knew that I’d been poisoned, and he found the
antidote.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her heart thumped loudly against her ribcage.
Hundreds and thousands of emotions washed over her, but she did not know what to say or do.
Lucas… Lucas…
Ashlyn slowly closed her eyes as the man’s attractive face flashed past her mind.
She remained in her spot for a long, long time. Even when Jared came out from the training room,
sweating, she was still standing there, as still as a statue.
The very sight of her was intimidating, and it felt like she was warning everyone to stay away from her.
Jared could not help but say, “The sun’s about to come up. Boss, go back to your room to rest.”
Ashlyn’s eyes flitted to the side. In a hollow voice, she uttered, “Jared, why did you only tell me about
this now? How am I going to face him after everything that happened between us?”
At that, she lifted her heavy legs and headed upstairs.
It was as though she never expected Jared to reply to her.
Jared stared at her in a daze. When his eyes drifted to the floor and saw the water droplets on the
spotless floor, his eyes widened.
Did… she cry? She’s such a strong person, but she’s crying? No, that can’t be.
At the Count’s Mansion in Maredania, Mary angrily threw the remote control in her hand.
“D*mn old woman. She’s useless. She can’t even deal with one Ashlyn Berry.”
“Mom, what do we do now?” Penelope whispered as she looked at her mother’s angry expression. “We
can’t possibly let Ashlyn continue doing anything she wants, right?”
“Our dear family was forced to go separate ways, and this b*tch still continues to bully us. I’m an idiot if
I don’t take revenge for this!” Mary’s eyes were bulging from the anger. Every time she talked about
Ashlyn, she would be absolutely livid.
“Uncle Ryan’s already in H Nation. Why don’t we… look for him?” Penelope pursed her lips. “At the
very least, he’s internationally famous—he’s a renowned pianist. If we go to him and ask him for a
favor…”
“Do you think it’s that simple? Your uncle seems nice to us, but he has never accepted us!” Mary
replied in frustration. However, in the next second, she blinked and continued, “But… if your granny
speaks to him, he might agree to it.”
Ryan had always been an unruly individual. Although his pretty eyes told others that he was someone
who would flit around many women, he was a dutiful son at his core.
He listened to everything his parents told him.
“Wait, you should…” Mary then leaned toward Penelope’s ear and whispered something to the latter
before leaving.
Penelope worriedly mumbled under her breath, “Will this really work? Will Grandpa and Granny really
listen to me?”
