Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina) novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289 

“Manuel, you’re still too naive,” Joseph said, shaking his head in frustration. If he hadn’t been in the entertainment industry and learned to read people like Patrick, he might have doubted the situation and believed in Ashley’s innocence. But setting aside everything else, there was no denying that Ashley was the one behind all this. She stood to gain the most from all of this, and that said it all. 

Lloyd nodded and said, “Pushing Selina out did benefit Ashley the most” 

Lloyd, do you also think Ashley did this?” Manuel asked. 

*Selina has irrefutable evidence in her hands, What can we say? Ashley had every reason to want Selina gone. I just never imagined that she’d play Innocent in front of us while secretly being this kind of person. And then there are the photos Joseph has. Lloyd trailed off. 

Manuel also went silent at the mention of the photos. Aside from the maid’s confession, there was no denying the shame Ashley brought to the Harvey Family by secretly seducing other men to climb the social ladder. 

Joseph, should we tell Mom and Dad about these things?” Lloyd and Manuel both looked at Joseph, waiting for his answer. Joseph was the eldest among them and had years of experience in showbiz, giving him more insight than the rest of them. 

Joseph thought for a moment and said, “Mom developed that illness because of losing Selina back then. Everyone knows it was Ashley’s birth that brought her comfort during that time. Now, Mom feels overwhelming guilt toward Selina and constantly thinks about her. If she finds out who Ashley truly is. It could trigger a relapse, We can’t let her know about this 

“But.. Can we really keep Mom in the dark? And if they keep dosing on Ashley like before, completely blind to her true colors, I’ll feel sick just seeing her,” Lloyd said. 

“Let Dad and Frederick know about this. Patrick’s tied up with expanding Harvey Group’s overseas business, and it’s a critical time for him. I heard he’s been working late into the night, so we can’t let family issues distract him. I’ll talk to Dad. Lloyd, fill Frederick in. Manuel, keep an eye on Ashley and make sure she doesn’t cause any more trouble,” Joseph instructed. 

“Got it,” Lloyd and Manuel agreed. 

When Quinton returned home, he felt the atmosphere was strange. He saw his four sons sitting in the living room. Frederick was still pale and trembling all over. Quinton coughed lightly and said, Joseph, why are you looking for me in such a hurry? What happened? Look at you…” 

“Dad, you must calm down first and listen to me carefully,” Joseph told Quinton what had happened today 

Quinton was stunned for ten minutes after hearing this. “Y–You’re not kidding me, are you! It’s not April Fool’s Day! Ashley couldn’t be this kind of person!” Quinton couldn’t believe it. But seeing the serious expressions on Joseph and the others, he knew they weren’t joking. They wouldn’t make light of something this serious. Even the kids understood there were lines one could not cross, 

Frederick hesitated before speaking. “Dad, I was just as shocked when I first found out. I couldn’t believe that Ashley could turn into such a despicable and shameless person while pretending to be innocent in front of us. But the photos on Joseph’s phone and the maid’s confession in Selina’s hands all point to Ashley as the mastermind “ 

They never imagined Ashley could do something like this, Quinton slumped onto the couch, as if all the strength had been drained from his body. 

“Dad, you’re the head of the family. We could have kept this from you, but this situation is too big for us to handle alone – whether it’s about the photos or Ashley framing Selina. Ive already asked Mrs. Clark to take Mom on a short vacation, so she won’t be back for a few days.” Joseph said 

thought to himself. She’ll go crazy! Thinking of 

“Joseph, you did a good job. We can’t let Sara know about this. If Sara knows..” Quinton said. He the this, Quinton couldn’t help but clench his teeth and ask again, “Where is Ashley now!” 

Manuel said, “I asked her to go back to her room 

Quinton suddenly got up and walked upstairs. Joseph and others were afraid that Quinton would lose his marble and do something to Ashley, so they followed behind. When Quinton arrived at the door of Ashley’s room, he took a deep breath and tried to suppress his doubts and anger. “Ashley, it’s met Open the door. I want to talk to you!” 

Here they come. Ashley was in the bathroom at that moment. Hearing Quinton’s voice, the gritted her teeth and stared at the blade in her hand. She thought. It’s all or nothing. This is the moment that will decide if I can escape this mess or not,
