A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 81

However, I was keenly aware that Edward's voice was tinged with a hint of fatigue.

I looked down, pinched my phone and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the company."

It must be a sticky business. Otherwise, he wouldn't sound so tired.

After waiting for half an hour, he called me again. I knew that he had arrived.

When I went downstairs, I saw his car at the gate of the company.

I stepped forward, and Paul opened the door for me.

After getting on the car, I whispered to Edward, "What's matter?" He looked not good. I couldn't control myself and wanted to care about him.

He held me in his arms. He kissed my lips gently as he said, "Ashley, I am very tired. What should I do?"

Somehow, his words made my heart ache, because he was always arrogant.

I reached out my hand to touch his eyelids and saw his dark eye circles. It seemed that he didn't sleep well last night.

"I saw the newspaper this morning. Why did that happen? Isn't your network defense system very good? How could it be attacked by a hacker?"

"Because the land document was stolen. They attacked the computers of our company through it." Edward held my face and said indifferently.

Hearing the word "ground", I became nervous and said, "How come... it's just a document, how could the computer be attacked?"

"There are a lot of things related to the land document. You can't understand. I'm just wondering who stole this document from me. It was kept in the computer of the villa all the time."

His voice became unusually deep and low, and I was so nervous.

I clenched my fists tightly and closed my eyes. I was so anxious that my palms were sweating all the time.

Edward gently touched my hair. After staring at me for a long time, he said, "Ashley, you won't betray me, right?"

At this moment, I thought that he knew something and deliberately tested me like this.

I bit my lips and leaned against his chest. Indifferently, I said, "If you think it's me, then it's me."

"No...it can't be you." Edward suddenly let out a furious roar. I was frightened by his words, and could only stare at him in a daze.

He fondled my face and pressed me down on the seat. His strong body pressed down on my body.

"Ashley, you won't treat me like this, will you?"

"Yes, I won't." I raised my head and looked at him firmly. I stretched out my hand and touched his handsome face. "Are you tired? Go to sleep."

"Okay." He looked at me and buried his head in my neck. His hot breathing passed by my ear, causing me to tremble all over.

"Edward, if I really did that, what would you do?" We quietly leaned together, listening to each other’s breathing. A long while later, I touched his head and softly said to him.

He didn't say anything. All I could feel was the feeling when his breathing passed through my body.

I gave a bitter laugh, hugged his waist, and took a deep breath.

Since I had already done it, I wouldn't regret it. Edward... this was a punishment to you and to me, because you owed our child.

You had to atone for your crime.

In the evening, Edward sent me back to the villa. He flirted with me on the bed, then received a phone call from his secretary, saying that many of the Xi Group's shareholders had already withdrawn shares. There were a lot of things for him to deal with.

Edward rubbed his hair irritably. For the first time, there was frustration on his face.

I looked at him and put on one of his shirts. I walked behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist.

His body froze slightly, but he quickly relaxed. He turned around and looked at me, saying, "Go to sleep first. I'll go to the company to deal with something."

"It's so late now. Do you want to go to the company?" I looked out of the window and then at the clock. It's already two o'clock in the morning. Did he want to go out?

Edward lowered his head and kissed my lips, "The company is in a mess. Perhaps I won't be able to see you for a long time. Remember to eat on time. No matter what happens, it's none of your business. Do you understand?"

"Okay." Hearing his tender words, I couldn't help but nod my head gently.

Edward couldn’t help but put his arm around my waist. I could feel his erection.

I tiptoed, stretched out my hand, and kissed his chin, "Edward, I'm here waiting for you to come back."

The expression in his eyes changed but I couldn't read it. He picked me up and put me on the bed. He took off the shirt on my body and fondled my body as he said, "Ashley, I really... don't want to leave you for a moment."

I felt hot, and my body couldn't help but bend slightly as I said, "Then... don’t leave me... I don’t want you to leave me."

He buried his head in my chest and bit down hard on my boobs. It was so painful that I couldn't help gasping.

"It hurts." "Ashley."

He called out my name crazily over and over again and bit down on my body with his teeth.

Tears flowed down from my eyes because of this stimulation. I hugged his waist and painfully responded to him.

I crossed my legs and gently stirred the coffee in front of me. I looked at Betty and said, "Go ahead, what do you want to say?"

"You have already known that there is a crisis in Edward's company, haven't you?" Betty looked up at me and said indifferently.

I raised my eyebrows and said with no expression on my face, "Well, I know, so? What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I want...you to give your shares to Edward." Betty whispered to me after looking at me for a long time.

When I heard her words, I laughed in a low voice and said, "You want me to give the shares that grandpa gave me to Edward?"

"Don't you love him? Do you want him to go bankrupt?" After listening to my words, Betty clenched her fists and said to me.

"What if I say I don't want to give it to him?" I looked at Betty and sneered.

Her face became a little unhappy. Her face fell and she said to me with a fierce look, "Ashley, what do you mean? You took away Edward. Isn't it the time for you to show your love now? Do you really want to watch him go bankrupt?"

"I don't need you to teach me what to do. If I say that I just want to see him go bankrupt, what can you do?"

"How dare you! I will definitely not allow this to happen. Ashley, tell me, how much do you want to hand over your shares to me?"

I got up, patted the dust on my body, and said with a poker face, "I won't give you the shares no matter how much you give me. This is my shares. Why should I give it to you?"

"Ashley, give me the shares. I promise you whatever you want." "Even if I want to marry Edward again, will you agree?" I glanced at her and said lazily.

Betty's face turned pale. She growled at me in a sharp voice, "Ashley, is this really what you want?"

"Yes. So what? Betty, don't blame me for not reminding you. If it weren't for you, Edward couldn't have divorced me. And you killed my child. Do you think I would let you go like this?"

I approached Betty. Looking at her panic face, I sneered.

Betty was so scared that her face turned pale. She stared at me with her eyes full of fear.

"So... you deliberately took Edward away, didn't you?" Betty growled at me with extremely sharp words.

I touched my hair and looked at her with a sneer. Then I said slowly, "You're right. I did it on purpose. So what? Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

"You... It's not because you love Edward, but because you want revenge. You're taking revenge on me, aren't you?" Betty looked at me, and I couldn't understand the expressions in her eyes.

I raised my chin with a frown and said, "After Edward betrayed me, he divorced me and helped you frame me. Do you think I'll let you go like this? I'm playing with his affections. You see, I'm very successful now. He can't leave for a moment on bed."

"Ashley, you are really a horrible woman."
