A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 27

After listening to my mother's words, my swollen forehead was once again stung.

I pursed my lips and looked at my mother who was still trying to brainwash me and said, "Mom, I'm hungry."

"All right. Let's go eat first," my mother said hurriedly.

After I entered the house with my mother, I saw Eric and Mark talking about something. When they saw we came in, they pretended nothing had happened and greeted me enthusiastically.

"Ashley, you're here. Hurry up. We haven't chat for a long time." Eric said.

"Yes, sister. It's been a long time. We should have a good talk." Mark added.

Mark and Eric pulled me to the dining table and looked at me with a smile.

I was confused by their sudden enthusiasm.

After my mother brought out all the dishes, we began to eat. Then my mother picked up a crab for me and said, "Ashley, after your brother was released, he couldn't find a job for a while. Could you tell your boss to let your brother work as a security guard in your company? What do you think?"

"Mom, how could Mark be released so quickly?" I asked my mother, tilting my head. Mark stole such a valuable thing and was sentenced to one year in court. Now he is released. Of course, I'm surprised.

"Your brother's behavior was good, so the person would not make things difficult for him," Mom muttered and mumbled, said to me.

However, I didn't believe that Mark would perform well. It's bullsh*t.

"I'm not responsible for the company's recruitment work, and I don't have the right to interfere." I took a sip offish soup and said lightly.

"Why don't you have the right to interfere? Aren't you familiar with your boss? Isn't it very easy to let him arrange your brother to work?" After listening to my words, my mother couldn't help frowning.

Listening to my mother's words, I suddenly lost my appetite.

I put down the bowl in my hand, looked at my mother, and said in a low voice, "Mom, I am just an employee, and he is the boss. Even if I am familiar with him, I don't have the habit of forcing others to do things. I am full. I'll go back first."

"Ashley, what the f*ck is your attitude? I am your brother. Don't tell me you don't help with this kind of thing." Mark slapped on the table, and the loud sound also scared me.

I looked at Mark's twisted face and frowned slightly.

"Mark, what you need to do is reflect on yourself. You can take your time to find so many jobs in society."

"I just want to work in the Time Group." Mark raised his chin arrogantly and sneered at me.

"Then, you can go in on your own." The security guards of the group had to pass the strict review, those who were eliminated would naturally be eliminated.

"You..." Mark was so angry at my words that his face blushed. He pointed at me and seemed to be speechless.

Eric also stood up and looked at me with gloomy eyes, saying, "Sister, you are too cold-blooded. It's OK if you didn't help us when you were with Edward. Now you lean on another moneybag. Do you want to get rid of our relatives?"

Eric's words amused me.

What did it mean that I had never helped this home?

Eric's factory was often faced with a problem of poor management. He relied on me to ask Edward for help. Also, every time Mark committed a crime and was chased after the debt by others. Wasn't it me who give the money?

Now that they had taken a fancy to William's power, I really had nothing to say.

"I'm tired." I pushed the chair away. Then I picked up my coat and was about to leave, but my mother rushed up and slapped my face.

I was shocked by my mother's slap, and I could only stare at her.

"Ashley, are you still my daughter? Do you remember you're a member of the Mu family? All that I ask is just a favor, couldn't you say "Yes"?"

"Mom, it's not a trivial matter. This is a matter of the company's recruitment. As I said, I have no right..."

"Bullsh*t. Just give me an answer today. Will you arrange work for your brother or not." My mother interrupted me impatiently and asked with a cold face.

I covered my face. After a long silence, I looked at my mother and said, "I have no way. If he wants to enter the Time Group, he should try by himself."

"I knew that it's better not to have a daughter like you. Since you're like this, we won't feel guilty anymore. Ashley, listen carefully, I don't want to ask about your affairs in the future. Now get out of my house."

My mother's words were so serious that it made me feel cold all over.

I didn't expect that my mother would drive me out because of such a thing?

"Why don't you get out?" Seeing that I was stunned, Eric went forward to pull my arm and forced me out of their house.

"Don't come back in the future. I'm tired of seeing you. You are useless." When Eric drove me out of the house, he spat contemptuously on the ground.

The iron gate was closed, and I was locked outside alone. The cold wind passed by me. It was extremely cold, as cold as frost.

I held my hands stiffly, lifted my lips in self-mockery, and left there step by step.

As Eric said, the status of me in the Mus could only be measured by the value of utilization.

My body was frozen. I didn't take out my coat. I was wearing a thin sweater. It was so cold that I was shaking all the time.

My ears are a little hot because of this breathing sound.

After a long time, a gentle and helpless murmur slowly sounded near my neck.

"Ashley... I got a crush on you... What should I do?"

Who? Who got a crush on me? A gust of cold wind seemed to be running wildly outside the window. I felt that the glass was making a sound at this moment, which was particularly frightening.

When I woke up, I was not in my own small room, but in an exquisite and elegant room.

The style here inexplicably made me feel a little strange.

I tried to figure out where I was, so I got up, finding there was a photo frame hanging on the wall.

I walked in and saw the two people in the photo frame. I couldn't help but widen my eyes in surprise.

In the photo, there was a boy and a girl. The boy looked to be about 12 or 13 years old, while the young girl was about 8 or 9 years old, who looked delicate and beautiful.

The way they hugged each other was very pleasing, especially the warm smile on the boy's face, which was intoxicating.

And I was very familiar with this boy. This was what Edward looked like when he was teens. At that time, Edward was very gentle.

However, the girl next to him... looked familiar to me?

Was it Betty?

I stared at the necklace on Betty's neck. The necklace was a thin chain with a grandmother-green pendant in the middle. The pendant was very expensive at first glance.

However, why did I feel so familiar? I gently touched the necklace on Betty's neck with my hand. I felt that I had seen it somewhere, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it.

"What are you doing?" Maybe I was thinking too much. I didn't even know that Edward appeared behind me.

I was scared by the sudden voice of Edward. The photo in my hand fell to the ground and the photo frame was broken. I looked down at a loss and said, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean it."

I squatted down and was about to pick up the photos on the ground when I was pushed away by Edward.

The strength of him was so great that he almost pushed me to the ground.

I took a deep breath and tried my best to hold the chair beside me. Looking at the angry- faced Edward, I was scared and didn't dare to speak.
