After she knew how I had experienced the same disgusting treatment, she thought she could finally drag me into hell with her. The hatred in her heart could only disappear when I became an abandoned pawn everyone looked down on.
However, she seemed to have forgotten that God would not turn a blind eye to her evil deeds, and today was no different.
After pushing Ashton’s hand away, I stared down at Rebecca. Without wasting my time on her, I ordered the maid, “Bring her out.”
Turning around, I scanned the messy dining table and added, “Mrs. Eriksen, take the children upstairs to sleep. You can wake them up to watch the fireworks at midnight.”
“Yes, Mrs. Fuller.”
Although the children seemed unwilling to head to bed, they sensed the weird atmosphere and headed upstairs obediently.
The reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve was ruined just like that.
At that moment, Nathaniel took off his napkin and shot me a look. Then, he pulled the chair out for Nora and walked toward the door.
Nathaniel tried to pat Ashton’s shoulder when they passed by but was avoided.
Despite getting ignored, Nathaniel did not get angry but changed the subject. “Ashton, do you still remember your real self?” Without waiting for an answer, he turned around and grinned. “You should be able to recall now. Haha!”
After saying that, he left swiftly hand-in-hand with Nora.
It was annoying how no one could blame him despite causing all the drama and leaving right afterward.
Turning around, I realized that Ashton’s expression was dark, seemingly on the verge of losing control of his emotions.
Is it worth getting so emotional over Rebecca’s words? People would probably think that he still has feelings for her.
Taking a deep breath, I lowered my eyes and swept a glance at the two figures. How can they be so ignorant not to leave in this situation?
