A Love Trap

Chapter 317 Let's Wait And See

Raymond had taken her to Lena's ward once, but she still couldn't remember the direction. But, she didn't really care.

Lena's room was not too far from hers. The elevator stopped on the fourth floor. Raymond led Ashley into the room.

Just as they were walking in, they bumped into Peggy, who was on her way out.

Peggy wore an expensive purple dress. Although she was a mother of two children, she still maintained herself very well. She clearly had no stress in life, and she looked like a woman in her forties.

She was blessed with good features, which made her look elegant. Ron and Lena definitely inherited their good looks from her.

Her expression turned sour when she saw Ashley.

She asked in disgust, "Why are you here? Haven't you hurt Lena enough? You're such an evil woman! How dare you show up here?"

Peggy raised her hand and she was about to slap Ashley.

Ashely narrowed her eyes and stepped behind Raymond to shield herself.

For his part, Raymond stopped Peggy and said, "Mrs. Mu! It's me who asked her to come here. She is here to apologize to Lena."

For Raymond's sake, Peggy put down her hand but she wasn't going to go easy on Ashley.

She sneered, "Apologize? She doesn't look sorry at all. Are you sure that's what she is here for? Lena's baby is gone. What's the point of her apology? It doesn't change anything."

Ashley didn't respond. She just looked at Peggy with a bland expression. Raymond cut in, "Mrs. Mu, Lena asked me to arrange this. Please let Ashley see Lena first."

Peggy barked, "No way! Lena is still in recovery. She doesn't have time for random people, especially her! If her condition worsens after seeing her, what are you going to do?"

Her words were nasty, but she had a point.

As far as she was concerned, Ashley caused Lena's miscarriage. So seeing Ashley right now might not be a good idea for Lena. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Lena was watching them arguing by the door. She didn't speak, but she was looking at Ashley smugly.

Ashley really didn't want to be here in the first place. She wasn't planning to put up with any of this.

"Since no one wants me here, I will just leave then," she said.

With that, she turned around, ready to leave.

Peggy jeered, "Humph! You shouldn't even be here! Lena isn't someone you can see as you please!"

Realizing that Ashley was about to escape, Lena couldn't keep quiet anymore. She said weakly, "Is my sis here?"

Ashley didn't respond to her charade.

Peggy walked to her and said, "Yes, she is. But, please don't tell me you still want to see her! Lena, have you forgotten that she is the one who caused your miscarriage?"

As expected, Lena's face turned pale when she heard Peggy's words. Her body was shaking. It seemed that she could hardly absorb this information.

Her timid and baleful expression almost won everyone's heart.

However, Ashley stood still not revealing her expression. Biting her lips, Lena finally gained some strength. She said, "I believe Ashley didn't mean to do it. It was an accident. If she is here, can I talk to her? Mother, please!"

"Lena!"

Peggy was frustrated, but she couldn't refuse her daughter after she saw the tears in her eyes.

Walking out, she gave Ashley a warning glare. "If anything happens to Lena, I will make you regret it!"

Lena watched Peggy leave. Then she turned to Raymond. Looking at him tearfully, she said, "Raymond, please give us some time alone."

Raymond looked at Ashley with uncertainty. Then, he smiled at Lena warmly. "Okay," he agreed.

Outside the room, Peggy couldn't help but blame Raymond for bringing Ashley over. "Why have you brought that girl here? Don't you know Lena needs to rest? She can't be disturbed by anything or anyone! Ashley is the murderer of her child! How could you let her visit?"

Raymond didn't respond. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong.

After Peggy vented for a while, she left.

In the room, Lena stopped playing the role of the poor and defenseless girl after Raymond and Peggy had left. She looked at Ashley triumphantly.

"Ashley, you would have never expected to be put in such a position. Your reputation is destroyed. Do you really think Andrew will still love you?"

Seeing her arrogant face, Ashley replied, "Aren't you afraid at all? The baby was so young and innocent. Don't you dream of it at night? How do you sleep?"

Lena sneered, "Afraid? I don't believe any of that! If the baby had to blame anyone, it should only blame itself for arriving at the wrong time. It was its own fault for coming into my life at such a wrong time."

There was insanity in Lena's eyes. She flashed a cruel smile and continued, "Soon, you will have nothing! I will replace you! And when that time comes, don't blame me for being so heartless. You can only blame yourself for meeting him.

You are nothing but some orphan who was adopted by my parents! Without my parents, you might still be begging for food on the street somewhere. So, you should appreciate my parents for giving you such a luxurious life!"

Ashley mocked, "Oh, really? Do you really think I should be grateful to your parents? I wish your parents had never adopted me!"

Lena barked, "Oh, gosh! Don't you think that it's too late for you to make this wish now?"

"Oh, by the way," Ashley said, "do you really think you could ruin my life this time?" Ashley stood her ground, refusing to be bullied by Lena anymore. She glared at Lena in derision. She mocked, "Do you really think my husband would like you? Please wake up from your unattainable dream! He didn't even give Lesley a second look, and she is the prettiest girl in all of J City. What makes you think that he would like you?

Don't you know this about yourself? You are not good enough to earn yourself a glance from him. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't even acknowledge your existence. Do you really think you can replace me?"

Ashley knew all about Lena's plans, and she wanted to burst her bubble.

Seeing Lena's gloomy face, Ashley finally felt better.

Ashley couldn't understand how Lena could kill her own baby for her unrealistic dream.

She couldn't understand why it was so important for Lena to be the wife of the Lu Group's CEO. She also couldn't comprehend how Lena was going to live with the fact that she murdered her own child.

Lena screamed, "Ashley! What do you mean? I am not worse than you! I don't know how you won Andrew's heart. I own everything you have and I have even more than you! What do you have that I don't?"

Lena's face turn red with anger. Ashley watched it happen and said, "Let's wait and see then. Let's see who he is going to pick, you or an 'evil' person like me!"

With that Ashley turned around and left the room without another word.

Lena watched her retreating figure and felt miserable.

She didn't believe that Andrew still loved Ashely after he heard what she had done to her.

She still believed that Andrew would be hers eventually!
