However, she didn't do anything to try and stop them.
Lena didn't know that the decision she made of not stopping them would totally ruin her life.
Even if she wanted to stop them, there was nothing she could do at this point.
"Miss Mu, can you please tell me why you have blocked my way?"
Ashley's calm voice could be heard coming from the recording. It was obvious that she was talking to Lena.
Lena's face contorted as she heard the first voice from the recording.
A feeling of dread swept over her, and she began to tremble with fear. She didn't have the audacity to let Raymond hear and discover what sort of monster she really was. Lena leaped out of bed and was about to run to Ashley. She screamed in a panic, "Turn it off! Turn it off!"
Raymond frowned, feeling a bit confused about what Ashley was trying to do when he heard the beginning of the recording.
However, when he saw how panic-stricken Lena was, he assumed it was Ashley's new way of hurting Lena.
He held her tightly in his arms and stroked her hair soothingly. "Lena, what's wrong? Don't be afraid! If you don't want them here, I'll get them to leave. Okay?"
She hid her face in his arms and started to sob, "Raymond, I don't feel good. My stomach is hurting. Can you get them to go?"
No one could see how frightened and evil her face looked.
She didn't know where Ashley got the recording from. Until she suddenly realized that Ashley had secretly recorded their conversation on that day.
Everything had fallen into place now, and her confusion had cleared up. 'No wonder Ashley was so calm about the media's false accusations.
Ashley already had hard evidence to prove her innocence.
'I can't... I won't allow Ashley to show it to everyone! I have to stop her.
Or she'll ruin my life completely!'
Knowing how horrific the outcome of the recording could turn out for her, Lena shook uncontrollably in Raymond's arms.
Lena's dramatic reaction made Ashley have to call a stop on the continuous playing of the recording.
It was beyond Ashley's expectations that Lena would react like that.
However, Ashley was here to clear her name. She wasn't going to just leave like this.
Ashley couldn't care less about her. She would never frame Lena for anything. She wasn't that type of person to do something like that.
However, when she saw her terrified look after hearing the recording, Ashley couldn't help but laugh inside. Ashley felt really good. It was the feeling of sweet revenge.
Raymond glared at Ashley and growled, "Ashley, what else do you want? Can't you see how scared Lena is right now?"
Ashley retorted, "What did I do? You were here, did you see me lay a finger on her? Please don't rush to any conclusions. Trust me. You'll be very interested to hear the rest of the conversation in this recording. Once you hear it all, you'll be shocked and surprised!"
Ashley spoke with malice in her voice.
There was no way that she was going to forgive Lena for what she had done to her. She was already kinder than Lena had deserved.
Upon hearing Ashley's words, Lena clutched onto Raymond's shirt even tighter. She was really terrified now.
Raymond didn't know anything. He just felt sorrier for Lena.
Lena pleaded, "Raymond, can you please make them go? My stomach is really hurting me..."
Before Raymond could say anything, Ashley said to Johnny, "Johnny, can you please go outside and find a doctor for Miss Mu?"
Johnny already knew what an evil person Lena was. However, many people still didn't know. All Lena was doing right now was pointless. She was just anxious to put it off for as long as possible.
