Spencer walked up to Ashlyn at this time and respectfully took the phone from her before he projected it on the projector screen in the conference room.
Everyone immediately saw the disturbing scene, whereby a disheveled-looking woman was playing with a toy in the corner of the hotel’s private room.
Her moaning and slutty posture were extremely hard on the eyes.
Everyone in the meeting room was watching Penelope play with the toy.
Meanwhile, Penelope slumped down on the ground in tears. “No, no... that’s not me. It really isn’t me! It’s all Ashlyn’s fault. It’s all because of you, Ashlyn!”
Jerry struggled to get up from the ground and gave Penelope a hard slap on the face. “You’re a whore and a slut!”
With her hand over her cheek that had just been slapped by Jerry, Penelope bawled, “I was framed by Ashlyn! How could you beat me when you don’t even avenge me?”
All of a sudden, she took out a scalpel and wielded it towards Ashlyn.
She moved so fast, shocking everyone.
Just when the scalpel was about two centimeters away from Ashlyn, who was about to jump up from her seat to dodge it, a dagger suddenly pierced Penelope’s wrist. The scalpel she was wielding dropped to the ground.
Penelope fell to the ground holding her wrist, screaming in pain.
Ashlyn looked up and saw Lucas, who had a gloomy expression on his face.
He was taking the handkerchief Spencer had handed over and wiping his fingers gracefully.
Even if Lucas hadn’t helped her just now, she could have dodged it.
She hadn’t expected him to actually help her.
Not only am I shocked that Lucas saved me, but I also feel warm deep down. What’s wrong with me?
Ashlyn shook her head to shake those thoughts out of her mind.
The most important thing now was that she had to find a way to figure out who was the man and woman who sold her mother to the village.
Mom obviously didn’t meet a car accident; she was being trafficked instead.
Since there was no car accident, where did my sister go? Was she trafficked too? She was still so young then...
