Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220 The Pleasure of Revenge 

Ashton didn’t have time to say another word, as Deborah took Alyssa and left immediately.

Rebecca hurried to the doctor’s office, impatiently. Seeing Deborah and Alyssa passing by outside, she knew they had already finished talking with Ashton.

Rebecca immediately went out to stop them, asking them to go in and confirm with the doctor.

Deborah didn’t say much and went into the office.

She expressed her attitude towards Alyssa, but refused to sign the consent for donation at the moment.

Rebecca felt uneasy and gently advised her, “It’s okay for you to sign something with Alyssa now, it’s just a way to show your intentions.

If in the future, Alyssa’s tests show that she’s not suitable for donation, we definitely won’t put you and Ashton in a difficult position.”

Deborah’s tone cooled down a bit, “Ms. Moxley, I keep my word.”

Rebecca felt helpless, knowing that any further persuasion would only annoy her.

Deborah, accompanied by Alyssa, left the office and returned to her own hospital room.

As she stepped out into the hallway, she happened to bump into Jeff, who was hurriedly making his way toward Ashton’s hospital room.

Jeff had probably already called Ashton and found out about some things.

Upon meeting Deborah and Alyssa, he sincerely expressed his gratitude, “Ms. Shepherd, on behalf of Mr. Mullen, I’d like to extend our thanks to you once again.”

Deborah’s attitude toward Ashton was cold, but it was different with Jeff.

Back when Ashton tormented her and Alyssa, Jeff was the only one who never kicked them while they were down and

never hurt them.

Even when she was first schemed against and ended up in Ashton’s bed for the first time.

The next day, Ashton was furious. The media and the public were gathered outside, and he angrily criticized Deborah for having no shame and no sense of decency.

At that time, only Jeff spoke to Ashton, saying, “Mr. Mullen, things might not be so simple. Ms. Shepherd, she’s young, still in school, and doesn’t have that kind of courage.”

At that time, Deborah was nineteen years old and still attending university.

Lydia became obsessed with gambling and took Helen’s mother’s money, which led her to end up in Ashton’s bed, ultimately ruining her future prospects.

The school couldn’t quite grasp Ashton’s intentions and assumed that he must be dissatisfied with Deborah. So, they used the excuse of Deborah’s chaotic personal life and lack of self-discipline to fire her.

Her academic pursuits were gone, and she was met with an overwhelming barrage of insults and accusations,

Devon, fearing that he might offend the Mullen family, hurriedly drove her out of Bauer Manor to make his stance

clear.

She felt completely desperate, lost and bewildered in an unfamiliar world.

It wasn’t until she was found to be pregnant that she couldn’t have an abortion due to her anemic condition.

At that time, she loved Ashton. Even though she knew he hated her, she still went to find him.

And so, he married her.

It was all wrong, completely wrong, right from the very beginning.

If it weren’t for Jeff, she and Alyssa would have been tormented to death by now.

Just the numerous incidents caused by Helen alone were enough for her and Alyssa to die many times over.

Deborah looked at Jeff in front of her and said, “It should be Alyssa and I who should have thanked you properly a long time ago.”

At the beginning, it was all thanks to you. I still remember, you gave Alyssa her first piano, along with those toys and dolls. Back then, probably only you remembered that she was just a child of a few years old.

A strange look flickered in Jeff’s eyes, as if he wanted to explain something, but after some thought, he decided against it.
