I was locked up in this villa, and I had no way to leave.
Every day, I would mess up the villa, lose my temper from time to time, and even smash everything in the villa. I even threw away the photos which were treasured by Edward. I thought that in this way, Edward would definitely appear in front of me angrily, but he didn't.
Even if I destroyed the whole study room, I burnt and cut off all those photos, Edward didn't show up.
It was as if they were watching me make a mess and lose my temper. Wallis and Lora even put the plates in my hands and let me smash them.
I was exhausted. The baby in my belly was growing up, so I had to stay in this villa with a grievance.
I didn't know why William did not come to pick me up. Did Edward do something to William?
As expected, my prediction was not wrong. On the afternoon of the next day, I inadvertently saw the newspaper that had not been taken away by servants. I saw the headlines. It was not about other things, but the crisis of the Time Group and the Xi's Group.
And the company that made William's company in crisis was an unexpected winner in commercial circles, it was called M Group.
This group was very powerful and it had become one of the five biggest groups in Beijing in an instant. And it made William's company in deep crisis.
"How could it be like this?" I looked at the newspaper and my fingers were trembling slightly.
William was very talented in managing companies. I didn't believe that he was about to go bankrupt.
"Young Madam, why are you looking at this? Wallis, quickly put the newspaper away." Lora happened to see me holding the newspaper, so she immediately asked Wallis to put away my newspaper.
I avoided them, held the newspaper in my hand, and said in a low voice, "Where is Edward?"
This M Group suddenly made William in crisis, could it be done by Edward?
Edward had always been known as a genius in commercial circles. Although he lost the Xi's Group because of me, when he took over the Fang's Group, he made the Fang's Group better and better. Therefore, the M Group might be run by him.
"Well..." Wallis glanced at me and hesitated. She refused to tell me where Edward was.
"I only want to see Edward now. Tell me where he is." I squeezed the newspaper in my hand and continued to ask in a cold voice.
"Young Madam, if you miss him, we'll tell him right away." Wallis glanced at me and asked Lora to call Edward.
Five minutes later, Lora told me that Edward would come back soon and let me wait patiently.
I sat on the sofa in the living room, touched my belly, and stared at the TV in front of me with a serious look.
Edward, if all this was done by you, I would never forgive you.
"Si—"
The braking sound of tires sounded in the yard outside the villa.
Hearing this, my back couldn't help but stiff a little.
Edward, after hiding from me for so many days, were you finally willing to show up?
I turned my head and looked coldly at Edward who was walking in from outside.
He wore a black suit and looked at me coldly.
He walked to me quickly and picked me up. He frowned and said, "Are you not feeling well?"
"Pah." I didn't even think about it. Just as Edward was about to touch my belly, I slapped him in the face.
The air seemed to be still at this time, and the expression on Edward's face was extremely terrible.
Wallis and Lora looked at me in horror.
They probably didn't expect that I would slap Edward in his face.
There was a violent and cold expression on his face. I thought he would be angry with me, but he just touched my face and said faintly, "Your temper is so bad. Did our child make trouble?"
"Is M Group your company?" I slapped off his hand impatiently and said with a cold face. "It's mine," Edward admitted frankly. He didn't hide anything from me.
"It's you who make William in crisis? Edward, you are so despicable, what the hell are you..."
"Am I despicable? Wasn't William despicable when he used you to destroy my company? Now that you see that William is about to go bankrupt, you're distressed, aren't you?" Edward interrupted my words and said coldly to me with a horrible face.
I got angry because of what he said, I blushed and clenched my fists, but I didn't know how to refute.
Back then, I indeed helped William to take over Edward Xi's company.
"Edward, let William go."
I couldn't watch William's efforts be ruined by Edward like this.
"I can't do it." Edward's face turned cold, and he stared at me with sharp and horrible eyes.
"Ashley, if you dare speak for William again, I promise that I will make him suffer more. I have indulged him for too long, but he really makes me uncomfortable."
"What should I do to let you let William go?"
"You're distressed to see William like this, aren't you?" Edward narrowed his eyes, raised his fingers, and pinched my chin.
His movement was so forceful that it hurt my chin.
I couldn't help but gulp. I frowned and looked at Edward's face.
I was so hesitant. William's company suffered all this because of me. If it weren't for me, his company wouldn't have become like this. What should I do?
"Ashley, you really... fell in love with William, don't you?" Looking at my hesitant expression, Edward rushed to me as if he was crazy.
I was pressed down on the thick carpet by Edward. Fortunately, because of my pregnancy, Edward covered the entire villa with thick carpets, so I was not injured, but my back was a little uncomfortable.
"Young master, she is pregnant."
When Wallis saw what Edward had done to me, she couldn't help but want to stop him.
Edward just glanced at her coldly and then looked at me.
His eyes were very horrible and even sinister, "Ashley, answer me. Did you fall in love with William? Tell me."
Edward shook my shoulders hard, and I felt that my whole body was going to be shaken apart by him.
I felt dizzy. I endured nausea in my stomach, and my eyes became cold. I impatiently waved off his hand.
"Edward, are you crazy?"
"Just say it."
With a cold face, Edward growled at me.
"Yes, I fell in love with William. When I was desperate, only William accompanied me, Edward, you know clearly what you did to me. No matter how you explain, you had hurt me in the past. Do you think I will forgive you?"
"You are mine. How dare you fall in love with another man?"
Edward stared at me crazily and viciously. He lowered his head and bit my lips hard.
I had never seen such a crazy and even horrible Edward before. I was scared by him, and my whole body couldn't help but tighten.
I felt so painful that I gulped when my lips were bitten by him.
When Wallis and Lora who were standing not far away saw what Edward had done to me, they said in a panic, "Young Master, you can't do that. She is pregnant now. You will hurt the baby if you do this."
When I was uncomfortable, I felt that the movement of Edward slowed down.
He held my body with both hands and looked at me with deep and painful eyes.
"Ashley, don't be so cruel."
Cruel?
