Chapter 1710 The Truth
The document didn’t explain how Rebecca was saved. She was the victim but ended up being cursed and labeled as a shameless whore. If I were in her shoes, I would’ve taken my life on the spot.
What should I do? The person I despised the most took a bullet for me. No wonder Rebecca said I stole everything I owned.
If it were me who suffered in the hands of the thugs, I might’ve gone crazy or go to a place where no one knew me and spent the rest of my life alone until my meeting with Grim Reaper. No matter what, I wouldn’t be Ashton’s wife, and I wouldn’t have given birth to our children and led a happy life like now.
Realizing my state, both John and Ashton stopped grappling instantly.
John strode over to me and wrapped an arm over my shoulder before giving me a pat. “Are you all right?”
Ashton’s tensed voice sounded from behind. “No one is all right.”
Comprehension dawned, and I turned at my shoulder to look at Ashton. The anguish in his eyes confirmed my guess.
It seemed that Ashton knew everything from the very beginning.
He knew the thugs’ target was me, and that they mistook Rebecca for me.
The worst possibility popped up in my mind.
Ashton was a smart man. It was normal for his enemies to take revenge on him, so he must’ve expected this matter.
Or rather, he said nothing and allowed the matter to happen.
Young Ashton was arrogant and confident, and he had offended a lot of people. Knowing that losers wouldn’t give up easily and that Rebecca would land in trouble by sticking to him at all times, he didn’t bother stopping the matter or rejecting her. Instead, he allowed everyone to think that Rebecca was his loved one.
