William schemed everything. He used me to accuse Edward. I did as he said. Finally, it was confirmed that the workshop of Edward produced substances harmful to the human body, which led to human death. Edward became a black- hearted businessman and murderer.
I was watched by everyone, but I didn't dare say anything. I could only quietly wait for the trial result. When Edward was sentenced to death, I was scared.
How could it be? It was said that he would be sentenced to imprisonment for life. Why was he sentenced to death?
I saw that Edward was taken away by the prison guards. When he left, his eyes were full of coldness and hatred.
He thought that I betrayed him, and he thought that I colluded with William to put him to death.
It was not like this. I just wanted to get the antidote and then approach William step by step to get the evidence of his crime and prove Edward's innocence.
Why was Edward sentenced to death?
I tried to follow Edward as if I were crazy, but my arm was grabbed by someone.
"Ashley, do you think you can save Edward at this time?" "William, you lied to me!" I turned around and glared at William.
William pulled me out of the court and put me into the car.
I held my belly and struggled crazily. I wanted to get off the car, but William stopped me.
"Do you want the baby to die? If you're too emotional, it will hurt the baby in your belly."
I held my belly and looked at William fiercely.
"William, you will go to hell."
"It's a pity that Edward is the one who will die, and he will go to hell with resentment against you. I really sympathize with him."
William got close to me and said coldly.
Looking at his face, I was so angry that I raised my hand and was about to slap his face. But at this time, he grabbed my hand.
He looked at me coldly and threatened, "Ashley, I've told you not to challenge my patience. Otherwise, I'll kill you."
"Just kill me! Anyway, you have already killed so many people." I straightened up my neck and sneered at him.
"How can I be willing to kill you? I'll marry you. I want Edward's woman to become my wife and his son to call me father."
William was not angry, he laughed. He looked at me madly and said.
"I didn't expect that you like to be the father of another man's child. It's really a special hobby." Hearing William's words, I disdained him in disgust.
Upon hearing my words, William stared at me with extremely fierce eyes. He raised his hand, pinched my chin hard, and forced me to look at him.
"Ashley, I've told you not to challenge my patience. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."
"I regret it now." I looked at William coldly and sneered.
Because I was cheated by William from the very beginning, Edward was sent to prison and sentenced to death.
I didn't want to think about anything, all I wanted was to save Edward out of the prison.
However, he had already been sentenced to death. How could I save him?
"Edward will definitely die. As for the antidote, I'll give it to you after he dies."
William let go of me and said coldly to me.
When I heard William's words, my hand which was on my belly couldn't help trembling.
"William, you're bound to have a retribution."
"I'll wait for it."
William looked at me with a fearless smile. His handsome face looked extremely disgusted at the moment.
Edward's death sentence caused a great disturbance in the whole city.
It seemed that everyone didn't expect that the president of the Xi's Group would finally be sentenced to death.
Since I appeared in court as a witness that day, I had been locking myself at home. I didn't want to go anywhere.
Every day, I read the news on the computer and those people's comments against me. I felt ridiculous and sad.
This time I really became a web celebrity.
They all commented on me that I was vicious, sinister, shameless, and dissolute.
I didn't even have a chance to defend myself.
Three days later, when I was in a daze, Amy called me and told me that Edward was executed by shooting.
"Ashley, today Edward was executed by shooting. Do you... know?"
"Bang."
Amy's words were a great blow to me. The glass in my hand fell to the ground and broke.
I stared at the broken pieces on the ground for a long time.
I froze and my whole body was trembling.
Dead...
Was Edward executed by shooting and dead?
"Ashley, are you listening to me? Ashley..."
"Where... is he?" I shouted at Amy with all my strength in a hoarse voice.
How could Edward die? No, it must be a dream. I must be dreaming.
He promised me that he would atone for his sins. My child and I hadn't forgiven him. How could he die like this?
"In the Purple Forest. The execution is over. If you go there now, I guess you can only see his dead body. No, maybe you can't even see his body."
Amy said to me worriedly.
I hugged my belly painfully, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on my face.
"It hurts... It hurts so much in my belly." I hugged my belly and looked at the liquid flowing out of my legs in horror.
I had already broken the water.
My child...
No... I must save my child...
"Help me... Please help me..."
I fell to the ground, grabbed the hands of the panic prison guard, and cried.
"You... Wait a minute, I'll go and ask for instructions immediately." It was probably the first time for the prison guard to encounter such a situation. He glanced at me in horror and left in a panic.
I held my belly and kept rolling on the ground in pain.
I felt a heart-wrenching pain.
It hurt so much...
Please save me... save my child...
It hurt so much...
"Ashley, why are you here? Didn't you collude with William and want me to die? Why did you come here?"
When I was rolling on the ground in pain, a shadow suddenly covered my whole body. I couldn't see anything, and I felt as if I was picked up by someone. Then I heard a familiar voice.
"Edward...is that you? Edward..."
With my lips trembling, I called out Edward's name in a hoarse voice.
The one who picked me up froze. He pinched my waist hard, as if he wanted to break my waist.
"Boss, there is no way to go to the hospital now. William's assistants are everywhere."
"Then let's go to the wooden cabin in the back hill and take Stewart to deliver the baby."
"Yes."
Who was talking?
I was tortured by the pain in my belly and kept screaming.
I opened my mouth and wanted to bite my tongue. Then a pair of hands reached into my mouth. I bit it hard, and I could only see an extremely hazy face. Edward...was that you? Or was it just my illusion? You were still alive, weren't you?
"Ashley, I don't owe you anything from now on." "From now on, let's not see each other again."
No... No...
I could explain...Edward, I didn't betray you, I didn't want you to die...
