Ashlee said, "Mom, don't worry, I will take revenge for you! Clara and Helena, just wait for it! You will pay for this! I swear that you will not have a good end! Mom, take care over there!"
"Okay, don't worry," Valerie replied.
Ashlee has always been protected by her mother, but now suddenly they were far apart, without her support, Ashlee suddenly felt very isolated and helpless, with no one standing behind her.
They were all in favor of Clara and no one was willing to stand up to her.
Suddenly, Valerie remembered something and asked Ashlee in a low voice, "In your belly..."
She knew that time was running out and at this time, someone was coming.
So, Valerie hinted at her, "You have to watch out ... Your baby is the bargaining chip!"
Before she could comfort Valerie more, the video was shut down.
She didn't have enough time to look at her mother's face. The video chat ended in a hurry and she didn't know when the next meeting would be...
Ashlee wiped away the tears on her face and sat quietly, making a decision in her heart.
After a while, Horace was here. He happened to be on the way so he came over to have a look.
Isaac said that Ashlee had just finished the video chat with Valerie in the room and was waiting for him.
Horace found that it was necessary to have a talk with her, to ask her what she wanted, thus to return the favor once and for all. After this, he no longer owed anything to her any more.
In the room, Ashlee sat upright on a chair, staring out the window in a daze.
Horace remembered that ten years ago, she was a pure and kind girl, how could she become such a vicious woman now?
Was jealousy so powerful that it would change a person's character completely?
Ashlee saw he came in in a wheelchair. There were still tears on her face but she had returned to her former calm
Horace asked her, "I assume you have talked with Valerie."
"Yes, sir." Ashlee said, "I really don't know whether I should thank you or hate you. I don't think my mother can bear that kind of suffering. She has never lived that kind of life. It won't be easy for her."
She was right, but he just didn't want her to live comfortably and Valerie wouldn't repent if she didn't suffer.
Actually, he felt that he was easier on her.
Ashlee thought that since Horace sent her mother away, he must have made a decision. If she begged him at this time, he would definitely not help her. She was not that stupid.
So, she said to him, "You said I did you a favor and you owe me one, so what's your plan?"
"Anything you want, as long as I can do it." Horace felt that she should ask for money or shares, so he did not take it seriously.
Anything?
Ashlee thought, was he so sincere? No, he must have thought it was quite easy to get rid of her. Unexpectedly, she sneered and said, "I want you to dump Clara! This is my term, how about it?"
Give up Clara?
Horace's face suddenly turned cold.
"Impossible." Horace said, his voice cold, "I will not agree to this and you should think of something more practical."
"Why, you can't do it?"
Horace slowly shook his head, indicating that there was absolutely no way.
