A Love Trap novel Chapter 165

Peggy's hands came up to the cheek that Spencer had just slapped. Her eyes were fixed on him in confusion, and she was too shocked to move.

She tasted blood, which was something that made her realize what was going on. The rage built up within her, and her eyes were spitting fire. She shouted at him, "Spencer! You slapped me! How could you do that to me?"

"Father!" Lena called out. She couldn't believe what had just happened either. She looked at Spencer, trying to understand why he had done it.

Spencer ignored them. He walked up to Andrew and glanced at Ashley, who was in Andrew's arms. He then lowered his head and said, "Mr. Lu. I am sorry about what has just happened. My wife didn't mean to hurt Ashley. She was just a little overwhelmed by the situation. We treat Ashley like our own and will never hit her. My wife might just try to scare her a little so that she would not make such a mistake again." Spencer turned to Ashley and continued, "Ashley knew it too, right?"

Spencer could never have thought that Ashley was the person Andrew was looking for. But he didn't really care about how that had happened. The only thing that was going through his head was that his daughter was the wife of the CEO of the Lu Group. His corporation, the Mu Group, would soon have all the resources and contracts that any company could dream of.

The Luo family would soon be nothing comparing to his family. Ashley had become a shining golden treasure in Spencer's eyes.

He could hardly conceal his excitement, and a big smile took a place on his face. He suddenly felt that adopting Ashley was the best decision he had ever made.

Ashley sneered from within. Spencer's attitude was radically different from how he had been a while earlier. She knew that it was because of Andrew.

"Father, what are you talking about?" said Lena. She was unable to believe what her father was saying.

To Lena, the man who was holding Ashley was just another good-looking man without any money or power. She didn't know why her father was acting so strange.

Ashley never had the chance to meet anyone powerful. Lena hadn't considered the possibility that Andrew might be a rich, powerful man.

Ashley was just an orphan. The Mu family was her only chance to meet rich people. But no one in her family would give her the chance.

Her bias had already blinded her. She would normally have known that the person who could easily go to the fancy restaurant was definitely not a nobody. She just didn't want to admit that Ashley had been married to a wealthy and handsome gentleman. So that meant that no matter how many clues she had, she just didn't want to look objectively at them and believe them.

Lena's question had come before Ashley could respond. Spencer looked sharply at Lena and pulled her over so that she was standing in front of Andrew. He introduced her by saying, "Mr. Lu, this is Ashley's sister and my younger daughter. They grew up together and loved joking around with each other."

Spencer was talking utter nonsense, and Ashley didn't want to deal with him anymore. The more she looked at him, the more disgusted she felt. So she looked away.

But Ashley was not the only one who didn't like what Spencer was doing. Clyde and Cora were not happy that Spencer was making every effort to please Andrew, even pulling Lena to stand in front of him. Lena was already engaged to their son, and they felt that Spencer should not have done that.

Johnny walked up to Andrew and whispered to him everything that had happened so far. The more Andrew became aware of the goings on, the scarier he became. The atmosphere changed quickly, and everyone could feel Andrew's rage now.

"You guys said that Ash took her ring?" Andrew asked, pointing his finger at Lena, and looked around at the crowd. He said it calmly, his face devoid of any expression.
