Never Late, Never Away Chapter 328
Ashley knew Fabian too well. She knew that the man would soften his resolve to leave because of the child. Moreover, so long as Ashley carried his child, the man would always accommodate to her and any of her follies.
And the lady knew very well that Fabian was a man who valued the virtue of responsibility. Therefore, carrying a child was also equivalent to earning a marriage certificate.
She had everything planned out for the future. While Fabian was by her side, she would make him fall for her bit by bit, and hopefully, try to become legitimately pregnant.
But now, everything was all for naught. Before her was a seething partner who hated her, along with a fuming Mark who equally detested her lies.
Mark was willing to give up part of his shares thinking that he could use the child to gain more authority in the board of directors, and subsequently earn the elder Mr. Norton’s trust and inherit more rights.
Now that Ashley’s façade was revealed, he could not help but feel utterly foolish for all the needless investments he made.
Out of a moment’s rage, the man delivered a harsh slap to Ashley’s cheeks, sending her flying to the ground.
Consequently, blood seeped from the side of her lips, mixed with her tears, and dripped off her chin.
Despite so, Ashley was relentless in her pleads. Crawling over to grab Mark by the hems of his pants, she begged, “Mr. Norton, I-I shouldn’t have lied to you! But please give me another chance. I’ll get pregnant this time around. Please forgive me! Don’t make me leave Fabian!”
