After taking a deep look at me, Edward grabbed Betty's hand and staggered toward the car.
Looking at his pitiful figure, I said to him cruelly and coldly, "Edward, don't appear in front of my door again. You make me feel very disgusting."
"By the way, Betty, watch your husband carefully. Don't make him be in heat everywhere."
After that, I didn't want to care about how unhappy Edward and Betty were. I turned around and went to another road.
No matter what Edward's purpose was, I would not let him get what he wanted.
I had my own life. I didn't want my lifelong love to be wasted on Edward who didn't love me and lied to me.
"Another week is the wedding ceremony between you and G. M. Xiao. To be honest, are you very excited now?" The weather was good, so Amy and I went shopping together. After we got tired of shopping, we were drinking milk tea in a coffee shop. Amy hit my body with her elbow and snickered.
"Yeah, I'm very excited." I rolled my eyes at her and said a little speechlessly.
"Well. Ashley." After she snickered, she suddenly looked at me with some hesitation. Looking at her hesitant look, I felt confused. I raised my eyebrows, looked at her curiously and asked, "What's the matter? If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you hesitating?"
"I just want to ask if you still have any feelings for Edward."
When I suddenly heard Edward's name, I felt a little depressed.
I rubbed the glass in my hand and said indifferently, "No."
"Really?" Amy looked at me as if she didn't believe me.
"Yes," I emphasized and said calmly.
"That's good. I'm just worried that you still love Edward in your heart. If that's the case, G. M. Xiao is really too pitiful." Amy's words caused a complex feeling in my heart.
She was right. Since I've already agreed to marry William, I couldn't be of two minds. I absolutely couldn't let Edward control my mind once again.
"Ashley, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here." Just as I was about to tell Amy that I would never fall in love with Edward, Betty's voice interrupted my thoughts.
Hearing her voice, I felt disgusted.
I looked at her coldly and said, "Why are you here?"
When I looked at her, I felt so disgusted that I didn't want to look at her at all.
"Why can't I be here? You came here to drink milk tea. Is this store run by you?" Betty looked at me with a sneer and sat opposite me.
Betty came here alone to drink milk tea? It seemed that Edward did not accompany her.
"Amy, let's go." I looked at Betty and ignored her words. I got up and said to Amy.
Amy made a face at Betty and left with me. Unexpectedly, Betty suddenly grabbed my hand. I shook off her hand impatiently and looked at her coldly, "Betty, what do you want to do?"
"Ashley, I want to have a talk with you."
"I don't think there's anything to talk about between us."
I looked at Betty coldly and said impatiently.
Betty spread her hands and said with some weirdness on her beautiful face, "Nothing to talk about? Ashley, are you afraid of me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why should Ashley be afraid of you?"
After hearing Betty's words, Amy sneered at her discontentedly.
Betty glanced at Amy coldly and said to me, "Ashley, I just want to have a talk with you. Are you really so afraid of me?"
"Ashley." Amy glanced at Betty. She seemed to be very worried as she held my hand.
I knew what Amy was worried about. Because Betty was a cunning woman. Amy was a little afraid of her, so did I. Betty had framed me for several times.
"Amy, you go back first. I'll have a talk with Betty." "Then you'd better be careful," Amy said. Although she was a little worried, she nodded after hearing what I said.
After watching Amy leave, I sat down again. Holding my arms, I looked at Betty and said, "Go ahead. What exactly do you want to say?"
"Ashley, you are about to marry William. I hope that you won't pestering Edward anymore." Betty looked at me and went straight to the point.
After hearing Betty's words, I couldn't help but sneer, "I pestered Edward? Betty, are you blind? Or, you dare not admit that Edward loves me."
"Nonsense, Edward loves me. It's all your fault. Ashley, you b*tch, if you hadn't seduced him, how could he be so cold to me now?" Betty growled at me. Her face was filled with anger.
I looked at her ferocious face and said casually, "I seduced Edward? Why don't you say that it was you who seduced Edward and made him divorce me? Every dog has its day. How does it feel? Uncomfortable?"
"You..." Betty was angered by my words, and her face became more and more unhappy.
She reached out her hand and was about to slap me in the face. I grabbed her hand and looked at her coldly, "Betty, you'd better not challenge my patience. Otherwise, I won't show you any mercy. If Edward had not helped you, you would have been utterly discredited. I will remember everything you did."
"You..." Betty was probably provoked by my contemptuous attitude. Her angry face became distorted.
I didn't want to explain it to her. I frowned and looked at the men sitting next to me, and my eyes were slightly cold.
Why did they catch me and Betty? Were they my enemies? Were they Betty's enemies? Or were they targeting Edward?
When I was thinking about it, the car seemed to have arrived at the destination. I looked over and found that it seemed to be a beach. There was an abandoned house, surrounded by empty oil barrels.
"Get out of the car." The men got out of the car and ordered Betty and me.
I didn't know what these people wanted to do, but under this situation, we had to be obedient.
Betty probably also realized that these people's identities were not simple, so she was not as arrogant as before. She got out of the car obediently.
They took me and Betty to the abandoned house, pushed us into it, and locked the door.
Inside, there was a strong smell of paint, which was particularly smelly. I couldn't help but vomit.
"Ashley, you really didn't hire these people, right?" Betty frowned and asked me.
I didn't have the strength to answer such a stupid question. I sat on the ground and quietly looked at the environment in front of me.
There was only a small window on the wall except the door. The window was small, and there was no way to escape from there.
The door seemed to be the only way to escape.
"Ashley, I'm talking to you."
Seeing that I ignored her, Betty roared at me angrily.
I felt a little uncomfortable with Betty's somewhat sharp voice. I looked at her unhappily and said directly, "Shut up."
"You..."
"What? Don't you see what's going on now? You want to die here, I don't."
"Edward will definitely come over to save me." After hearing what I said, Betty clenched her fists and said to me.
I looked at her sarcastically and said coldly, "Do you want to wait for Edward to come and save you? Why don't you think about how to escape yourself? You only know how to rely on others."
