A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 143

At the beginning, when William said that my father's death was caused by the Xis, it was undeniable that my heart was full of hatred for Edward and Gramps Xi. Then my mother and Mark also told me like this. Then William said that he found some evidence from the Xis and gave them to me.

Although the sound in the recording pen was somewhat vague, I could still hear that it was Gramps Xi's voice.

There was also my father's diary, and those words were written by my father. However, after this incident, when I saw William become like this, I suddenly doubted whether it was true or not.

I always had a feeling that someone deliberately made me confused and wanted me to hate the Xis.

"I don't know much about your father's death, but I believe that my boss wouldn't watch your father die without saving him. He loved you a long time ago."

Paul turned around and looked at me with a complicated look.

"You should know that he had fallen in love with you a long time ago, but because he had promised Betty that he would only love her in his life, he had been hiding his feelings for you. When he hurt you again and again because of Betty, he hurt himself at the same time."

"At that time, Betty killed your child. He went to find Betty and almost choked her to death. Betty used the necklace to complain that he changed his mind and let her down, otherwise he had already killed Betty."

"Although he looks cold, he keeps his words. He was worried that Betty would do something extreme to you, so he could only hurt you for Betty again and again."

"I don't want to listen to these things."

I closed my eyes, held my belly with my stiff fingers and said.

My mind was really in a mess...

Paul didn't explain anymore, but just sent me back to the villa.

He said that Edward asked him to follow me to protect me, and he wanted to take me away and leave Beijing.

Since Edward was charged with the crime of murder and the illegal drugs, how could I leave so easily?

I refused Paul and asked him to investigate the whole cause of this matter immediately.

Those who died because of wearing the clothes in Edward's production workshop were rich people and wives of politicians.

The powder in their clothes was the same as that in the model's dress. The powder contained a substance that was harmful to the human body. People would die as soon as they touched the powder.

I handed over the bottle that William gave me to Stewart for chemical examination. But Stewart said that the thing in the bottle was just ordinary sleeping powder, not poison.

Not poison?

I thought it was because of me that the model died.

It seemed that this matter was not as simple as I thought.

After I quickly sorted out the whole thing, I found that William was so vicious.

He had known that Edward had been sending people to protect me, so Edward would naturally know what he asked me to do.

He deliberately gave the powder to me and let me put it in the dress, because he knew that Edward would not stop me from doing anything.

Even if I wanted to ruin his company, he would not stop me.

Edward...

"Paul, take me to the police station."

I could feel the sharp pain in my heart. I couldn't bear it anymore.

Edward, you b*stard, why didn't you stop me?

"Edward, you b*stard, why didn't you guard against me?" I went the detention room, rushed to Edward, and slapped him in the face.

Edward allowed me to slap him silently. After I was tired, Edward reached out his hand and held my waist, "Ashley, I'll be fine."

"You b*stard, why didn't you stop me? You clearly know what I did." With tears in my eyes, I growled at Edward in anger.

If Edward stopped me, maybe the following things would not happen, and William's schemes would not succeed.

Edward could have had the situation well in hand, but why was he stupid in this kind of thing?

"Because you are Ashley."

Edward caressed my cheek and said lightly.

These words made me burst into tears.

Tears blurred my eyes. I grabbed Edward's clothes and yelled, "Edward, do you think I'll be moved if you do this? I'm telling you, don't even think about it. You've done so many bad things to me, and I won't be touched. You haven't told me how my father died. Do you want to escape? No way..."

"I didn't want to escape." Edward kissed my eyelids lovingly and said softly.

"Ashley, I won't escape. No matter what you do, I will bear it. This is what I owe you."

"What you owe me is far from enough. Do you think you can pay it back in this way?" Hearing Edward's words, I was so angry that I thumped his chest and growled.

She was pushed away by me. She staggered back a step and almost fell down.

My actions paused slightly, and I wanted to reach out to hold her. When I saw her keep her feet, I put on a cold face and said indifferently, "Are you enough?" After such a long time, why Letitia was still acting so crazy?

After all, she was Edward's mother. How could she do such a rude thing like a shrew?

"Ashley, you jinx! Why did you hurt my family with that b*stard William? You are a scheming woman." She stared sharply at me and said to me.

In the face of her abuse, I didn't say a word. I just said in silence, "I will find evidence to prove the innocence of Edward."

"Pooh, you and William framed him together, and now you are pretending to say that you want to help him. Don't you know that Edward has already been sentenced? He can't be released from prison for the rest of his life!"

Her sharp voice hurt my ears. What hurt me most was what she said.

Couldn't Edward be released from prison for the rest of his life?

Edward... How could that be?

"Isn't it said that there's still a week left before the sentence?" I asked with my eyes wide open and a pale face.

"The lawyer said that the evidence was enough and Edward had been sentenced. Now he can't be released on bail. He is sentenced. Are you satisfied now? The Xis has been ruined. Our villas have been auctioned off. Those creditors are pressing us for payment of debt every day. Now we are hated by everyone. Everything is done by you. Ashley, you b*tch, it's all your fault!" When she was angry, she rushed to me with threatening gestures. Looking at her movements, my face darkened.

I avoided her hand and tightly held my belly.

"B*tch, if it weren't for you, Edward wouldn't be framed. It's all your fault. You hurt my son and my family. I won't let you go."

She hated me so much, and I could understand it.

Because I had to take some responsibility for Edward's current state.

I looked at her silently. When I closed my eyes and was about to be slapped by her, time seemed to be still.

"Madam, please stop."

I heard a deep and cold voice. When I opened my eyes in a daze, I saw a tall figure stand in front of me.

Paul grabbed Edward's mother's hand which was about to hit me. He looked at her with a neither humble nor pushy attitude.

Letitia didn't expect that Paul would help me, and her sharp voice became harsher.

"Paul, don't forget who you are. You are a member of the Xis. How can you help Ashley?"
