Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285 

Ashley’s heart skipped a beat, but she dared not reply. She could only continue pretending to be pitiful and cry. After being photographed like this, anything she said would sound like an excuse. 

Lloyd asked, “Joseph, what the hell…” 

Joseph exclaimed, “Take a look. There ought to be a solution to this matter.” 

He showed the photos to Lloyd and Manuel, whose expressions turned gloomy after seeing them. “Ashley, why on earth… How could you do such a thing?” 

This was completely beyond their impression of Ashley. In their memory, Ashley had always been obedient, sensible, kind, and would never go against her brothers‘ wishes. But in the photos, Ashley was drenched and kissing other men, which completely boggled their minds. 

Ashley pleaded, “Joseph, Lloyd, Manuel, you have to believe me… Although I didn’t listen to Joseph and met with Mr. Crosby and Mr. Pearson, I really didn’t do these things. Someone deliberately took these pictures from an angle that could frame me.” 

Ashley knew that 

at she couldn’t hide it anymore. So she had to at least deny the fact that she had initiated kissing the two men and had drenched herself to show them her body. This way, their impression of her wouldn’t be completely ruined. 

Joseph scoffed, “Frame you? Ashley, if it was one of them, fine. But it’s the same for both. Do you think I’m stupid? No.. I was stupid before. How did I not know you’re so scheming! You played with both Mike and Jack. The same wet body, the same angle and the same kiss. If it wasn’t intentional, do you really think it could be a coincidence! 

After all, Joseph was in showbiz. He had seen too many female stars rise to fame like this, so he could tell at a glance. If Ashley wasn’t his most trusted sister and he wasn’t blinded by familial affection. Joseph would’ve been able to tell at a glance that the photos weren’t photoshopped. Even if they were taken from different angles, how could both men find such good angles? 

Besides, these two men had vested interests in Ashley, Joseph had warned Ashley not to have private dealings with them for fear of being at a disadvantage. But it was Ashley who deliberately seduced them so that they would be more devoted to working for her. 

How did Joseph not know his innocent and kind sister had such thoughts? The flier he had for Ashley in the past was completely shattered in an instant. 

“No.. Joseph, I didn’t.. I really didn’t… Ashley shook her head helplessly, biting her lips as her tears fell. 

Her eyes were as red as a rabbit’s. This made Lloyd and Mamuel feel distressed as they said, “Yeah, Joseph, don’t be so harsh with Ashley, We haven’t figured out what happened yet. Maybe someone set her up. Why else would they take these photos? We all know what kind of person Ashley is.” 

Seeing Lloyd and Manuel standing by Ashley’s side and trusting her, Joseph shook his head helplessly. The two younger brothers were as stupid as Joseph was before. They didn’t see through Ashley’s true colors and still thought of her as their innocent little sister. 

In truth, time had passed and everything had changed- not only things but also people. Ashley had changed and she had been pretending all along. Her true colors were only exposed today and Joseph realized it too late. 

Joseph said, “Now that these photos are in someone else’s hands, they’re real. If they’re exposed, Lloyd, Manuel, do you know how much this will impact Harvey Group? The daughter of Harvey Group is playing with two foreign men. If they dig deeper, the consequences will be disastrous.” 

Lloyd clenched his fists. “Joseph, who sent you these photos?” 

Joseph rubbed his temples. I would’ve gone to find them if I knew. It would’ve been fine if they had set conditions but the point is that they didn’t reply after sending the photos. We don’t know what they want at all. I’ve asked someone to investigate the number, but since they’ve set such a big trap, it’s impossible for such a small thing to reveal a flaw” 

Manuel sighed, “How did this happen! The Harvey family’s already in chaos.” 

Ashley pondered and suddenly said. “Joseph, Lloyd, Manuel, I know it’s useless for m to ruin my reputation. I’ll take the initiative to explain to Daddy and Moromy, I don’t want you to bear the consequences of my mistakes” Then, she 

for me to say anything now, With the photos here, they must want turned around and rushed out of the living room 

Lloyd shouted, “Ashley Damn it. Manuel, catch up with Ashley. Don’t let anything happen to her 

“Okay” Manuel ran after her. 

Tho you think Ashley would 

Lloyd glanced at Joseph, who was still angry, and said, “Joseph, don’t be so angry. We haven’t figured anything out yet. Do you do such a thing? We’ve watched her grow up since childhood” 

Joseph sighed, “I want to believe her too, but she keeps letting me down.. Forget it. I know it’s no use talking to you now.” 

After all, Lloyd and Manuel had never been in the entertainment industry full of drama queens, nor have they dealt with the cunning people and their tricks Joseph had seen it all, so he knew very well that the current Ashley was no longer the sume as before.

Chapter 285 

The reason why Joseph was deceived for so long was that he trusted his family and that Ashley’s acting was superb. If it weren’t for this incident, Joseph couldn’t believe that she had become like this. 

Lloyd asked, “Should we tell Mom and Dad about these photos? If they really wanted to expose these photos to the detriment of Harvey Group, it’d be better to inform them as soon as possible… 

He still believed that Ashley wasn’t the kind of woman who’d sell her body to achieve her goals. But he still had to deal with the photos, or the consequences would be disastrous.
