"What's wrong with you? You used to be so obedient, but why did you become like this? Ashe, answer me."
Looking at the Ashe who faced her with his back, Ashley cried out.
"Mom, have you ever betrayed dad?" Cedric turned around, looked at Ashley, and said coldly.
Betray?
What nonsense was Ashe talking about?
"But dad betrayed you."
Cedric looked at Ashley mockingly and said.
"Ashe, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ashley got angry because of Cedric's mockery. She frowned and said.
"Mom, you must believe dad very much, right? People in the whole city say that you are model couple. Many rich and powerful families envy your love, but do you know that he has an illegitimate daughter?"
Boom!
Cedric's words stimulated Ashley. She stared at him with open eyes. Then she calmed down, walked to him, reached out her hand, touched his face and said, "Ashe, what the hell are you talking about? That's why you don't go home all the time and treat your father as your enemy?" Ashley finally understood why Cedric treated Edward so impolitely.
"Isn't this enough to disappoint me? He has been cheating you for many years." Cedric looked at Ashley with sinister eyes, as if he was very angry.
"Who told you these?" Ashley looked at Cedric calmly and frowned slightly.
What was that person's purpose? How could he told Cedric these nonsense? Ashley didn't believe that Edward had an illegitimate daughter.
Edward only loved her in his life. How could he have an illegitimate daughter?
"Mom, you're really fooled by dad. He has cheated you for twelve years." Looking at Ashley, Cedric thought that she was so naive and said ironically.
"Ashe, your father doesn't betray me." Ashley didn't know why Cedric was so sure that Edward betrayed her. She pressed her uncomfortable temple, looked at Cedric, and said slowly.
Hearing this, Cedric sneered and said, "Mom, I've seen that child and secretly checked her DNA. DNA can't die. Dad betrays you and has a 12-year-old illegitimate daughter. But you don't know that. Dad sometimes goes to their house. Although he went there very secretly, I saw it. Do you know that?"
"Ashe, what the hell are you talking about? You must have some misunderstanding about your dad."
Ashley didn't believe what Cedric said at all. How could it be possible for Edward to have an illegitimate daughter? "That woman is named Ethel Lee. You know her, right?"
Cedric looked at Ashley and said coldly.
Ethel Lee?
Ashley's body froze.
Ashley of course remembered Ethel. But what was going on?
When Ethel colluded with Miriam, she didn't send Ethel to prison because Ethel once saved Edward's life. She asked Edward to send Ethel abroad. As long as Ethel wouldn't come back for the rest of her life, Ashley had no opinion.
But Cedric told her that Edward and Ethel had a child, and this child was already twelve years old.
"Mother, do you know these things? Your so-called trust is just an excuse for Edward to betray you." Cedric called Edward by his name impolitely in front of Ashley.
Ashley felt a slight pain in her belly. She took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and said slowly, "Ashe, your father has nothing to do with Ethel. Don't make any trouble."
"Do you really believe Edward so much?" Cedric was angry that Ashley trusted Edward
unconditionally.
"Cedric, if you continue to make trouble, I'm really going to get angry." Cedric's words made Ashley unhappy. She said to Cedric with her face darkened.
"Mom, you will know that Edward is just a liar one day." Looking at Ashley, Cedric said this, slammed the door and then left angrily. The noise of the door slamming made Ashley feel sad and painful.
She smiled bitterly, held her belly, sat on the ground and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
She did not know why Cedric became like this, he used to be so obedient.
Hatred, decadence, as if he was trying to do everything bad.
"Ashe."
Ashley could not control her emotions. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed Cedric's infant name.
"Master, Ashe came back today." When Edward got off work and went back to the villa, the housekeeper said to him respectfully.
Hearing this, Edward just replied coldly, "Okay."
Edward knew that Cedric was rebellious, but he would not keep him under strict control.
Edward thought that Cedric could do anything he wanted, because he was already an adult. Similarly, he had to bear the consequences of what he had done.
Cedric seemed to be protesting, which made Edward very unhappy.
"Cedric, do you want to die?"
After Edward helped Ashley sit down, he looked at Cedric with cold eyes and said.
Cedric looked at Edward impatiently and said with gloomy eyes, "You're so good at pretending that I really want to applaud for you."
"Ashe, that's enough. Don't make trouble any more." Ashley felt a headache and pressed her uncomfortable temples. She frowned, looked at Cedric's indifferent face and said.
Cedric looked at Ashley gloomily. Then he suddenly got up and kicked away the chair beside him.
He is very strong and there was a loud bang in the dining room. Ashley was scared.
"Ashe..." The housekeeper was also scared by Cedric's sudden movements.
He looked at Cedric worriedly and called out his name nervously.
Cedric was no doubt challenging Edward's authority.
The housekeeper was really worried that Cedric would completely provoke Edward.
"Cedric, how dare you!"
With his face darkened,
Edward punched Cedric. Cedric was not afraid of him. When Cedric was very young, Edward found him a teacher to teach him how to fight, so he was no weaker than Edward.
Ashley was extremely angry, especially when she saw that everything on the table was destroyed by Edward and Cedric, she felt sick in her stomach.
She covered her mouth and retched weakly. Seeing that Edward and Cedric were still fighting, Ashley's face became extremely cold.
She suppressed the anger in her heart and stood up. Regardless of her health condition at the moment, she walked to the middle of Edward and Cedric. "Ashley."
"Mom."
Both of them waved their fists at Ashley at the same time. Ashley did not dodge but looked at them coldly. Her pretty face was pale.
"Go on." Ashley looked at them and sneered.
