A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 29

I looked up at Amy with deep eyes.

Amy felt uncomfortable with my strange gaze. She couldn't help rubbing her arms and asked," Ashley, what's wrong? I feel that something is wrong with you."

Something wrong?

Yes, something was indeed wrong.

I stood up and said to Amy, "Amy, you go back first. I have something to deal with."

I must see Edward, I must ask him about all these things.

I must get to the bottom of it.

"Ashley." Amy's surprised cry came from behind, but I ignored it. I left the bar quickly, stopped a taxi, and went to the Xis.

I didn't enter their house. I knew they wouldn't allow a stranger to enter, even if she was ex-Mrs. Xi.

After I arrived, I asked the driver to leave and squatted alone at the gate, letting the cold wind pass through my face.

I was very lucky. When I waited for nearly an hour and my feet were numb, I saw Edward's car slowly driving over.

I stumbled to get up from the ground. My numb legs made it hard for me to take a step at that moment. I bit my lip, moved my steps hard, and stopped Edward's car.

The sharp barking sound seemed extremely abrupt in the quiet and cold winter.

Paul stopped the car and opened the door. He looked at me worriedly and said, "Mrs... Miss Mu, why are you here?"

Paul abruptly changed the call to me and said gently.

Instead of paying attention to Paul, I dragged my stiff legs and walked towards Edward.

I opened the door and looked at Edward who had a delicate and cold face inside, I said in a hoarse voice, "Edward, I have something to listen to your explanation."

Edward frowned. Seeing that my cheeks were frozen red and my head was covered with snow, he could not help but scold, "Ashley, are you crazy?"

"Is Rita the only one who took part in the thing that I was framed by Rita?" I looked at the man's delicate and cold face and said slowly.

Edward glanced at me and said in a calm voice, "Yes."

The sonorous and forceful voice made me feel inexplicable pain.

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

"What role does Betty play in it?"

Hearing my words, Edward was stunned. He lowered his face and his cold voice crossed my eardrums and hit my heart violently.

"Ashley, what do you mean?"

His cold and arrogant eyes, like the snowstorm outside, swept past my cheeks, making me feel cold all over.

I squeezed my fist tight, took out Mark's voice recorder, and played its content in front of Edward.

When he heard the content, I saw Edward's obscure face. I looked at Edward with a scornful smile. I was not surprised by his response.

"G.M.Xi, can't you recognize the woman's voice? She always stays with you." I said.

"Why do you have these things?" Edward's voice became darker. I put the recording pen into my pocket expressionlessly and said indifferently, "You don't need to know why I have this recording pen. I just want to know the truth."

"How do you want me to compensate you." He had been silent for a long time, then he said with a condensed voice.

It turned out that the grievances I suffered could only be described as compensation for Edward.

Betty did this kind of thing, and to this point now, Edward wanted to stand by Betty.

"I don't need your compensation. All that I want is the truth. Now I have one."

I looked at him indifferently. For the first time, I felt disheartened towards him.

Edward and Betty made me embarrassed. Even on the day of the New Year's Eve, I didn't feel disappointed when he took Betty to the Xis and make everyone see me as a joke.

But at this moment, I was really hurt.

I took a deep look at the reserved and indifferent man, Edward as if to say goodbye to my past feelings. When I turned and was about to leave, my wrist was held tightly by Edward at this moment.

"Where are you going?" His hand was as cold as the wind and snow outside.

Nothing could stop me from being heartbroken.

"Police station," I answered flatly, I wouldn't let it go so easily. It's time for Betty to pay the price.

It was impossible for Edward to keep Betty all right.

If Betty dared to frame me with such despicable means, I would not show mercy.

"Forget about it, OK? Ashley. I have paid your family 30 million, and help Mark out of jail. What else you want me to do? Go ahead." Edward still took my wrist and tried to plead for Betty.

Being stimulated by his words, I turned around and slapped him hard on the face. I was raged.

"Can you compensate for the grievances I have suffered? Edward, who do you think you are? Why should I be wronged? It is your business to protect your beloved woman. I just want to get my justice.

"Bang."

My heart beat faster, the heat in the cup made a faint mist in front of my eyes.

After listening to Edward's words, I slowly raised my head and moved my lips and laugh. " do you think you have any status in my heart? A re-marriage? Why should I re-marry with you?" "Ashley, as long as you release Betty this time, I will let you continue to be Mrs. Xi, and I will not be engaged to Betty." Edward looked at me seriously as if he was telling me that he was very sincere this time.

In order to protect Betty, Edward was trying his best to please me. How ironic!

"Edward, do you think that my feeling can be made use of again and again? You can hurt me like this just because I love you?"

After looking at Edward for a long time, I could no longer restrain the anger in my heart and waved the cup on the table to the ground.

The teacup on the table fell to the ground because of my movement. The ground was full of debris and covered the whole ground.

Edward frowned more.

He stared at me with deep and cold eyes, observing my expression.

"Ashley, you've changed."

Didn't I look like this before?

Did Edward think he knows me very well?

"You never know what I used to look like. Edward, do you think I still love you? Do I treasure the title of Mrs. Xi? I'm telling you now that I don't want you anymore."

I got up, tidied my dress, and said coldly.

"Betty, I won't let her go."

It was Betty who provoked me first. Last time, she framed me for causing her miscarriage. This time, she framed me for plagiarizing and murder.

If Edward's eyes were not blind, he should have seen through Betty's nature.

"How dare you!" Seeing that my attitude was so determined, Edward's face turned cold and he stood up suddenly.

The tall and oppressive body directly looked at me, leaving me no way to escape.

Looking at the coldness on his face, I could not help but sneer.

"Dare me? Let's have a try."

I left this sentence and didn't want to talk anything with him. The actions of his defending Betty had completely hurt my heart.

I wouldn't tolerate Betty anymore.

"Ashley, what else do you want me to do? I humbled my self and begged you ." Seeing that I was about to leave, Edward grabbed my hand and held my wrist tightly.
