A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 61

"Look! She is my daughter, and she has married into a wealthy family. Now she wants to cut off relation with me. After her father died, I struggled to raise three children alone and particularly loved her. Now she lives a good life but she wants to break off with me. She is so ungrateful and vicious, isn't she?"

My mother said as she sat on the ground, thumping her chest and stamping her feet with tears.

"How could there be such an ungrateful person?"

"That's right. She wears expensive clothes but she is so vicious."

"Yeah. She should be punished by god. She doesn't even raise her own mother. What a detestable woman!"

Those passers- by around were instigated by my mother's words and looked at me with blaming eyes.

I listened to the indignant words of those people, but I just smiled faintly. My heart was so cold.

Look, this was my mother.

She could always sacrifice me for her son.

I sneered and said with a chilly look, "Mom, don't be silly and go back."

"Ashley, don't you feel guilty for treating me like this? Aren't you afraid of being punished by god?" My mother roared at me with deep hatred and resentment. Being punished by god? If there was god, maybe I would have died thousands of times.

"To be filial, should I allow you to send me a strange man's bed? For your son, you sent me to a greasy man's bed, and I should endure without protest to be your filial daughter, right?"

"Whoosh."

All the passers-by were shocked. Everyone looked at me and my mother, and my mother couldn't say a word.

I looked at my mother and continued calmly, "Will you be satisfied only if I become your tool to make money? Was I really... born by you?"

Sometimes, I really suspected that I wasn't her biological daughter, because there was no mother in the world would be so cruel to her own child.

"You... of course you're my own daughter." My mother seemed to be scared by my words. She stood up from the ground and stammered.

"I... I raised you, why can't you give me some money? You know, your younger brother has corrected his errors and made a fresh start. Your elder brother has died because of you. Do you want your younger brother to die too?"

After hearing my mother's words, I asked directly, "Mark wants to make a fresh start and set up a company, but does he have to sell his own sister to achieve his goals?"

My mother couldn't say a word. Those people finally understood and scolded my mother.

Probably my mother felt very ashamed. After glaring at me with anger, she left here dejectedly.

Those people looked at me with sympathy, but I didn't care. I walked into the restaurant with William.

William chose the hotpot seasoning and sat opposite me. He said in a deep voice, "Why didn't you tell me these things?"

After hearing his words, I just smiled bitterly and said, "There is no need to tell you. Should I tell you that my family never regarded me as a family and they just treat me as a tool to make money?"

"You should have told me." William said with a complicated look in his eyes.

"There's no need for that. Besides, I'm very good now, and I won't be cowardly all the time, even if they are my families." After hearing what I said, William said nothing.

We ate hotpot quietly. I deliberately changed the topic and talked a few more relaxed topics. But William told me a breaking news that Edward and Betty would be officially engaged next Saturday. After the engagement, they would get married in a month.

After hearing it, I looked at William without any expression and said with a smile, "Isn't it normal for them to get engaged? I have divorced Edward for so long."

"Are you sad?" William just looked at me quietly. He did not say anything but asked me this.

"Why should I be sad? I'm not sad at all. It's hard to say if they can get engaged successfully." I ate a mushroom and said faintly. Hearing this, William didn't say anything. After knocking on the table, he said, "Edward has a land business plan of the south of the city. This land is very valuable, because it will be demolished by the government in the future. Anyone who has the contract will definitely make dozens of times of money."

"Do you want this business plan?" I understood his purpose and could not help asking.

"Yes, I've tried lots of ways to get the plan, but I failed. I want you to help me."

"Is this business plan very important to Xi's Group?" I put down my chopsticks and looked at William.

"If this land is taken away by me, Xi's Group will suffer a great loss."

"Then, I'll help you." Since it could cause losses to Xi's Group, why not go ahead with it?

"Ashley, I... don't want you to think that I'm using you. I just don't want you to be so hard. Since you hate Edward and Betty so much, I'll bring down Edward's company and help you vent your anger."

"Okay." I knew that William did not use me. He just wanted to use another method to help revenge.

However, he forgot that there was no way for me to get out of the abyss of revenge.

I leaned against the window outside the yard, and I could only vaguely hear their conversation.

My mother's attitude towards Betty was a little strange.

She seemed scared... but she wanted to get close to Betty.

Moreover, she said that they were a family. How could Betty be a family to her?

What on earth were there between them that I didn't know?

"I'll engage with Edward next week. I don't want Ashley to appear at our engagement. Even if you tie her up, you have to inject this into her."

I opened the window carefully and finally heard the conversation inside. I saw Betty handing a syringe to my mother. My mother looked at the syringe in her hand in confusion. Mark grabbed the syringe and said with a smile, "This is a good thing. Do you want to inject this into Ashley?"

"Hmph, this kind of thing can make Ashley addicted. At that time, she can only be at my disposal. She will do whatever I ask her to do." Betty smiled, and her face was full of viciousness.

Looking at the expression on Betty's face, my whole body was stiff and cold.

I didn't expect that Betty would be so vicious.

She actually wants to inject methamphetamine into me.

As long as I was injected, I would definitely be addicted. Did Betty want to kill me completely?

"Isn't it too cruel?" My mother guessed what was inside and couldn't help but ask Betty.

"What's wrong? Do you feel sorry for your daughter?" Betty crossed her arms over her chest and looked at my mother with a sneer.

After hearing Betty's words, my mother said with some fear, "Impossible! I have done all the things you asked me to do before. Didn't Ashley successfully divorce Edward? The Xis hated us so much that Ashley was too ashamed to stay there. But... your elder brother... no, Eric... he died."

"That's because he's useless." Betty sneered at my mother with a terrifying look. There was no emotion in her eyes.

My mother seemed to want to say something, but when she saw the fierceness on Betty's face, she didn't dare say a word.

"Inject this into her. Don't screw it up!" Betty said coldly to my mother and Mark.

I put on a cold face and left the Mu family. I didn't want to hear what Betty and my mother said later.
