A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 18

"I really ... love you so much, what do you want me to do? Betty."

It was Betty Fang again.

Edward Xi, you got drunk every time for her.

It seemed that Edward and Betty had a quarrel. I thought that after the divorce, Betty should have been happy to start preparing for the marriage with Edward.

"Edward, look clearly. I'm Ashley Mu."

"What should I do to give you a sense of security?" The low and hoarse voice of Edward passed through my eardrums.

I was pushed into the room by Edward. He closed the door with one foot. I was so angry that I tried my best to push him away.

"Please go out, you're not welcome," I said to him coldly.

I had nothing to do with him.

But Edward rushed into my bedroom suddenly. I had to run after him to force him to leave.

What did he want? B*stard.

I patted the door for a long time, but Edward didn't open the door. I could only sleep in the living room helplessly. After all, the house I rented was only one bedroom and one living room. All the bedrooms were occupied by Edward, so I had no place to go.

The next morning, the alarm clock rang. I rubbed my sore eyes and went to the bedroom immediately. I twisted the door handle and tried to open the door, but it was locked. I looked at the door for a long time and then went to the kitchen to make two bowls of noodles. After eating silently, I left with my bag.

At noon, I thought of Edward who was still at my house, so I didn't have dinner in the company's canteen and took a taxi to my house.

When I opened the door, the bedroom door had been opened. I went to the kitchen again and saw the bowl of noodles in the kitchen was gone.

It must be Edward who ate it.

For some reason, looking at the empty bowl, I inexplicably felt a little lost.

I lay on the bed and tried to take a nap before going to the company. But the doorbell rang again.

I thought Edward might lose something. When I opened the door I was slapped.

"Ashley, I didn't know you are so scheming." An angry roar passed by my ear.

I covered my face and looked at Betty standing at the door, wearing a pure white fur coat.

Because of anger, her beautiful face was twisted and hideous at this moment.

"Did Edward spend the night with you last night? You and Edward have been divorced. How shameless you are to seduce Edward?"

"Enough, Betty. It's not your home." I seized her wrist tightly, my face darkened.

"Ashley, I'm going to marry Edward. Stay away from him, do you hear me?"

Betty roared at me, her beautiful eyes were full of anger.

Hearing her words, there was a sharp pain deep in my heart.

However, I ignored the pain. I raised my chin and sneered at Betty. "Since I've divorced Edward, I won't pester him. Don't worry about that."

"It's better like this. If I see you deliberately seducing Edward, I will give you a lesson." Betty glared at me and then gracefully left with a tightening coat.

I was about to close the door, but two hands held it. I thought it was Betty who came back. I was impatient to scold her, but I didn't expect to see Edward's deep eyes.

"You... how..." I was stunned and couldn't pick out any words for a while.

Edward looked at my face and said in a low voice, "She... hit you?"

"She" of course referred to Betty.

I didn't know how long Edward had been there, maybe he had watched the whole drama.

Ashley, you still need to cultivate.

At company.

"Ashley, the president asked you to go to his office." I was getting the design drafts in my hand. Chen, who was in the same office with me, suddenly walked up to me and said.

Had the president returned home?

Although I had been in the company for many days, I had never seen the president. It was said that the president was abroad.

In fact, I was very curious about what the president looked like. Last time I was interviewed by the president, but I still didn't know which one was him. There were several people who came to interview me, and I was a little absent-minded at that time. Later, I checked it on purpose, but the president was very low-key and there was almost no news about him on the news, so I knew little about him.

It's not proper to ask in the company, in case my colleagues think I'm too gossipy.

Judging from the previous work arrangements, the president appreciated me very much, so I quickly put down the design drafts in my hand and went to his office.

I knocked on the door politely and heard a pleasant male voice coming from inside. "Please come in."

The voice sounded familiar, but I didn't know where I had heard it.

After pushing the door open, a gentle and elegant man appeared in front of me. I was surprised to find that it was William!

"You, you are our president?" I shouted in surprise.

William looked at me and smiled gently. "You know it now. I thought you knew it."

I blushed for my carelessness and said, "The personnel department said that the president personally interviewed me. But you were not there that day!"

"It's a long-distance interview," William explained.

"No wonder." I was not so ashamed and gradually understood that William had known me for a long time and had some understanding of me.

William nodded and his eyes were gentle. Then he changed the subject and said, "How is your work going?"
