Within the Mu family, Ron was probably the only one who was really good to her.
Ron sighed and hugged Lena. "Okay, since you realize that what you have done was wrong, just don't do the same kind of things again. Okay?"
"Okay," replied Lena.
As soon as Ron left, Lena took out her cell phone. After pondering for a while, she navigated to Ashley's number and sent her a message.
After she hit the send button, she heaved a long sigh. Something else was weighing heavily on her mind.
Ashley was surprised when she saw an incoming message from Lena. Given the circumstances, that was next to impossible.
She clicked it open and read it.
"Ashley, for what I have done to you in the past, I am really sorry and I want to ask for your forgiveness. I hope you can forget all those bad things I did, though I know it is hard to forgive someone like me. Anyone in your place would find it difficult to forgive the person who puts them through the kind of pain I have caused you. But from now on, I have made up my mind to do at least one thing that would be best for you. I'm leaving this country tomorrow and I promise, never to bother you anymore.
And finally, I want to thank you for not holding me responsible. I wish you all the happiness."
She read the message in one breath and was left dumbfounded.
She checked the sender again to make sure that the message was from Lena. She couldn't believe that Lena could send her such a message.
'Lena... She would say something like that?
Has she finally come to her senses? Is she a changed person now?'
Ashley didn't think further, what was going on with Lena and put the cell phone away.
It was on Ron's account that she decided to let her get away with it.
Not that Ron had intervened or said anything to do with forgiving Lena. But of course, Ashley could see his reasons for coming to see her.
After all Lena was his sister.
Meanwhile, when Johnny found out that Lena was leaving the country, he informed Andrew about it.
Frowning, Andrew asked, "Going abroad? Does she think that it would be okay as long as she goes abroad? No, we can't let Lena get away with it like that."
"Right," said Johnny.
Miss Mu was the apple of the CEO's eye. How could Lena expect nothing happen to her after all she that she had done?
As Johnny came out of Andrew's study, Ashley called him aside. "Johnny, what did Andrew say to you? You didn't tell him about last night, did you?"
Johnny said, "Miss Mu, you can be assured that I told Mr. Lu nothing about last night. But Lena has decided to go abroad. Mr. Lu seems to be angry about it."
"Okay, I got it," said Ashley.
"Do you need anything else from me, Miss Mu?" asked Johnny.
"No, thank you. You go ahead with your job," said Ashley.
"Okay," said Johnny.
After Johnny left, Ashley patted her chest as if to encourage herself.
Outside the study, she wondered if she would go in.
Last night she wanted to tell him the truth, but then later something happened. So she didn't get the chance to tell him.
But she had already agreed with Ron to let Lena go abroad.
'Anyway, I have the say on this matter, don't I?'
An idea came to her. She knocked at the door of the study.
"Come in."
The reply from inside was quick.
Ashley pushed the door open and stepped into the room.
