A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 22

"Ashley, don't worry. I have started to investigate the whole thing." Instead of blaming me, William Xiao comforted me.

Because of the copied incident, the whole Time Group had been in the teeth of the storm, but William still protected me and even held a press conference to stand for me, saying that I would not copy anyone's work.

"G.M.Xiao, I will deal with this case."l lowered my eyelids, clenched my fists gently, and said.

William looked at me and said lightly, "Hey, this is not only about you. There must be a conspiracy behind this matter. The person they want to against maybe Time Group."

I looked at William nervously.

"You go back and have a good rest first. I'll get someone to investigate this matter thoroughly." William said when he saw how tired I was.

How could I leave now? I refused to rest and said to him, "G.M.Xiao, since this problem was caused by me, I should deal with it. I will go to find Rita later."

I wanted to ask her face to face what happened to my original draft. Why did Rita's signature appear on my original draft?

"I'll go with you." William kept silent for a while, then said to me.

I refused, "I will manage it by myself." "Well, if anything happens, call me immediately." William sighed, said seriously.

I nodded, then left his office.

Then I called one of my friends, she knew where Rita lived.

I took a taxi to Rita's home. When I arrived, she seemed to be planning to go abroad. When she saw me coming over, her eyes flashed with panic. Although it flashed very quickly, I saw it.

I stretched out and smiled, "Hi, Miss Wu. I'm Ashley.

ii

"I... I know. What are you doing here?" Rita didn't shake hands with me, but said to me.

Seeing she took luggage, I kept smiling innocently, "Miss Wu, are you going somewhere?"

"What? Can't I go out?" Rita's attitude suddenly became especially irritable and eccentric.

"Of course you can. Miss Wu, what did I come here for today? You should be very clear, right?" I stared at Rita's eyes and asked sharply.

Rita didn't look at me, she opened her car boot, sneered, "I don't know what you're talking about. But I have to remind you, as for your copy of my work, if you have anything want to talk about, talk to my lawyer."

"No, I'm not here for this today." I looked at Rita coldly and said with indifferent eyes.

Rita's expression revealed that she was guilty.

It meant there must be an inside story.

"Then why are you here? I have to go to the airport at once. Don't waste my time."

Rita pushed my body and said to me irritably.

I grabbed her hand and said to her, "Miss Wu, do you know anything?"

Who framed me? Why did he destroy my design so painstakingly?

"I don't understand what you are talking about. Let me go." Rita suddenly became very excited. She shook off my hand and was about to get in the car so I stood in front of the car to prevent her from leaving.

Rita got out of the car in a hurry and roared at me angrily, "Ashley, what do you want? Stop tangling, or you will regret."

"Miss Wu, why are you so afraid of me? I just want to ask you about some simple questions." I looked into her eyes.

When a person lied, he would feel very guilty, and Rita was like this.

I can clearly see that her eyes have been flashing, which is the light of guilt.

Rita frowned irritably and gave me an angry look then turned back to get in the car. I wanted to catch Rita to stop her. Unexpectedly, not far away a black car appeared and rushed towards me and Rita.

Because the car was driven against the light, I couldn't see who was in the car at all.

When the car rushed towards me and Rita, I reached out my hand and grabbed her hand. But I didn't expect that both Rita and I were hit on the ground. My head hit the ground. Everything I saw was black.

Before I fainted, I tried hard to see who hit us, but no matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't see who was in the car.

In a daze, I felt like someone was dragging my body away, and then placed me in the driving seat.

My fingers moved slightly and fell weakly on both sides.

I tried to grab that person, but no matter how hard I tried, my hand was still weak.

"Beep." I was awakened by the sound of the drip. When I opened my eyes, I found that I was lying in the hospital.

Just as I was about to get up, two hands gently pressed my body.

His face was a little gloomy, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes were full of emotions that I couldn't understand. I was looked at by the sharp eyes of Edward, and my whole body was tense.

For some reason, I suddenly had a feeling of guilt? This feeling was a little inexplicable. Even I didn't know why should I be guilty.

I stammered nervously, "G.M. Xi... Why do you have time to come here?"

After hearing what I called him, Edward stopped. He looked at me coldly and put down the fruit basket. He said in a cold voice, "I heard that you have a car accident, so I come to see you. After all, we used to be husband and wife."

I quivered suddenly and lowered my eyelids without saying a word.

Finally, William spoke.

"You two can take time to chat. I have something to deal with within the company." William glanced at me and Edward and left.

After William left, the whole ward became quieter and quieter. I was a little flustered and tried hard to suppress the tremor in my heart, but there was no way.

When facing Edward, I could not help but feel nervous and shivering.

"If G.M. Xi has nothing to do, please leave. I'm a little sleepy." After a long time, I calmed down and said to Edward, who was standing beside my bed.

Edward stared at me expressionlessly, and his sharp pupils gave off a cool and horrible aura.

"Ashley, you like William, don't you?"

What?

I was stunned by his sudden accusation and was completely muddled.

"You can't wait to divorce me. Is it because you've already fallen in love with another man?" Edward suddenly approached me. His slender fingers suddenly grabbed my chin and pressed hard on my chin.

I was hurt by his rude movement, and I was inhaling painfully.

"Let me go." I frowned and waved off Edward's hand impatiently.

What did Edward mean by talking to me in a jealous tone?

What is I can't wait to divorce him? The one who can't wait to divorce with me is Edward.

"Ashley, not seen for a few days, your temper becomes worse. Or is this worse one the real you ?" Seeing that I dared to push him so boldly, Edward's sharp and horrible eyes became more and more gloomy.
