Chapter 293
Sara felt heartbroken when she said those words. She couldn’t believe Selina could be so heartless and remain unconcerned despite the life and death of the latter’s biological younger sister. She mused, ‘Has Selina remained unconcerned after hearing such startling news about Ashley! In this way, what else can I do to win her heart back!
Cora said, “Sara, forget it. You should never expect an ungrateful woman like Selina to visit Ashley”
Timothy, clenching his fists, protested, “If Selina comes here, I’m afraid she’ll have ulterior motives and harm Ashley”
Shaking her head, Sara argued, “No. Ashley will be pleased if Selina can come to visit her. Ashley has always missed her. She has been greatly addened by the problems between the Harvey family and Selina. Ashley will recover much faster if Selina can put her resentment aside and return to the Harvey family.”
Frederick and the others were unable to conceal their feelings of helplessness as they looked at Sara, who was unaware of the truth. If they didn’t know what Ashley had done to Selina, they could conclude that Selina was heartless since her sister was dying, and she didn’t show up.
Selina would not care about Ashley after what Ashley had done to her. Perhaps she would be rejoicing in the death of the pretentious woman who covertly forced her to leave the Harvey family, What made them feel awful was that they could not tell Sara the truth. In Sara’s heart, Ashley was still her innocent and kind daughter, but she had changed a long time ago. Those who knew the reality was too much misery for them.
The sound of footsteps suddenly echoed across the hushed hospital corridor. They gazed in the direction of the sound, expecting Quinton, but instead saw an unexpected person. Shocked, they called out, “Mr. Wheaster!”
arvey had an accident. After inquiring. I learned that she was
Benjamin, dressed in a suit, twisted his wristband and stated worriedly, “I heard Ms. Harvey in this hospital, so I rushed here. Is she all right?”
Frederick responded, “She’s fine… She simply accidentally fell down the steps and fainted. Mr. Wacaster, thank you for visiting Ashley. However, the doctor has denied our request to see her. I apologize, but please return another time
In truth, he suspected Benjamin’s source of information concerning Ashley’s present hospitalization. When they realized Ashley’s incident had become a trending topic in the media, they hastily transferred her to another hospital. The only people who knew about it were her brothers, Quinton, Sara, and Cora. They would never expose Ashley’s location to Benjamin.
Benjamin responded, “I see… If Ashley wakes up, please convey my greetings to her. I’m very worried about her when I learn that something like this has happened to her.
Timothy pressed, “Who are you to Ashley? Why are you so concerned about her?” He had an instinctual sensation that something was awry. This was an intuition about men, and great jealousy sprang naturally. However, he unintentionally felt inferior to Benjamin, particularly in comparison. He could tell that a man like Benjamin must have had ulterior intentions in pursuing Ashley, whom he loved. Thus, he couldn’t accept others caring for her brazenly now that he was in an undesirable situation
Faced with Timothy’s hostility, Benjamin remained calm, saying “Ashley and I are just friends. There’s no need to overthink. Well, I’m leaving now”
Frederick offered, “Let me walk you out, Benjamin.
Benjamin agreed. “Okay. Frederick, I also have something to tell you..”
Just as they were about to leave, Benjamin’s phone rang. He pulled out his phone and opened it. He was astonished, asking. “W–What’s going on? Frederik, look.
Frederick looked at Benjamin’s phone screen, his face darkened instantly.
It was Ashley’s intimate pictures with Mike and Jack. These were more shocking than those sent to Joseph. It quickly became a trending topic. It was an obvious attack on the Harvey family, intending to destroy Ashley’s reputation.
Everyone else’s phones received the same message. Cora was the first to look at it.
“Mrs. Clark, don’t look…” Frederick attempted to stop Cora, but it was too late
When Cora saw the trending topic’s content, she turned to look at Ashley, who was still in a coma, shocked. She asked, 1–Is that really Ashley? No way. It’s impossible”
Timothy also saw the content and instantly felt that he had been cuckolded. He was duped by not one, but two men. When he saw Ashley flirting with two foreign men, as well as their intimacy and kissing, he felt his workiview crumble. Even be, who grew up with Ashley and admired her, didn’t experience this level of intimacy. They had always treated each other with respect. Moreover, she had been using Selina as an excuse to keep him away from her.
Timothy inned, but what is this now! What’s the point of my persistence over the years? My genuine impression of seeing Ashley as a refined Lady is all false, huh? At that point, he wanted to rush into the ward, wake Ashley up, and have her tell him that everything was a lie and that she wasn’t that kind of person at all.
