Ashley already had enough of the party, but she couldn't just leave. She took a deep breath and asked Johnny, "Is there another dress in the car?" Ashley knew it was unlikely that there would be a spare dress in the car, but she just wanted to try her luck. She knew people usually brought an extra dress.
She didn't bring one, but that didn't mean Andrew wouldn't either.
Johnny quickly responded, "Yes, Madam."
He was really impressed with his boss right now. It seemed that he had planned for every scenario, including this one.
Andrew had asked him to put a couple more dresses in the trunk before they left The Silver Moon.
That explained why there were spare dresses in the car.
Ashley looked at Johnny and said, "Can you please bring one for me? Meanwhile I will go to the restroom to clean up."
Johnny hesitated. Ashley could tell from his expression that he wanted to say something. "Are you going to ask me to walk to the car with you looking like this?" She asked gesturing at her stained dress.
He was about to nod, but Ashley continued, "Because that's not going to happen. I will be fine here. It's just for a little while. No one is going to hurt me. Just hurry up, get the dress!"
Johnny didn't know how to respond so he hurried to go get the dress for her. Andrew was afraid that people might take advantage of her. That was why he had instructed Johnny to be around her no matter what happened.
But in this situation Johnny couldn't refuse Ashley's request. He quickly walked to the car.
Ashley looked around and found the restroom. She picked up her long dress a bit so she could walk faster, and she made her way to the restroom.
She looked at the wine stain on her dress and smiled wryly. She had really liked this dress.
She rinsed off the stain with water and it faded a little, but it was still very obvious.
Ashley felt really helpless. Andrew would definitely be mad at her for ruining the dress.
Ashley quickly came out of the restroom as she was worried that Johnny might be looking for her.
...
When she walked out, a familia
y was confused. Soon she heard gasps and moans, and her cheeks turned pink! She now realized what they were doing.
She glanced at them and sneaked out.
Once Ashley was away from them, she finally felt relieved. Honestly, she was still in shock.
She had never thought that Spencer was the cheating kind. What was most unbelievable was that he even had a child with that woman!
Ashley couldn't help but sigh as she thought how ironic it was that she discovered Spencer's big secret.
Poor Peggy used to brag about how wonderful Spencer was and how he was a loving father and a loyal husband. She didn't have a clue that all this while he was unfaithful to her. Thankfully, there was no way for her to know that they called her "ugly" behind her back.
When Ashley walked into the room, she noticed there was a commotion going on.
Lena was surrounded by several rich women, all looking very anxious.
"Lena, how did that happen? Maybe you just forgot where you put it?" one girl asked.
Lena looked very worried. She had tears in her eyes. "No, It's impossible. I had it on my finger the whole time. I only put it down few minutes ago on this table... Only for a minute! I clearly remember that this is the exact spot where I put it!" She cried.
Teresa tried to comfort her, "Lena, just calm down. Don't worry, we will help you find it. It's definitely at somewhere in this room."
