Chapter 426 Isn't It A Conspiracy

Ashley took two steps back and looked at the man with caution. "I don't know you. Stay away from me!"

Ashley did not know the man at all, but she did know one thing. There was no way he could have found out where she was, unless someone had tipped him off. It would have been impossible for him to have found this place by himself.

The man had backed Ashley into a corner, and he was about to touch her when she heard a voice from behind. "Bruce, what are you doing?"

The voice was too familiar to Bruce that the first second he was reaching out his hand to touch Ashley, the next second he withdrew it back timidly.

He cursed silently to himself. A rare chance of playing with a pretty little lady is spoiled by this woman again!

This is really irritating!'

Bruce did not show any expression of annoyance in his face. He cleverly concealed his real emotions as he spotted his wife, holding her belly and walking awkwardly towards him.

"Honey, it's not my fault. She was hitting on me. This bitch tried to seduce me!"

Bruce immediately laid the blame on Ashley the moment he saw his wife.

"You get away from her! I will deal with you when we get home." She plucked at his ear and glared at him angrily.

A group of ladies now surrounded them and watched the strange drama unfold. Bruce was now being pulled away by his wife, and there was nothing he could do. "Honey, let me go! Everyone's looking at us! You're embarrassing me!"

"I'm embarrassing you? Wow! Maybe you should have thought about that, before you tried to grope that woman! You embarrassed yourself! You brought this on yourself!"

"No, no, you don't understand! I did nothing. I'm innocent."

The woman let go of the man and came over to Ashley's side. She shouted at her, "Bitch! How dare you try to seduce my husband? Do you know who I am?"

This was all getting a little out of hand for Ashley. One minute the man was planning nothing good for her, but now, his wife was railing on her for seducing her husband.

One thing was certain in Ashley's mind. The man was nothing but a spineless fool.

She had never

his setup?

Him?

Or this woman?

Bruce's mind immediately thought of some kind of lame excuse. "It was a crazy party honey, and I was dead drunk! They pushed that woman towards me, and I had no idea what was happening. Honey, you have to trust me."

His wife snorted and said, "I'll deal with you when we get back."

She then turned to look at Ashley. She couldn't just let everything slide. Nothing was all right, and she would not let Ashley get away with something this heinous.

She saw Ashley's face of shock and horror and it only bolstered her resolve.

Ashley was guilty. Bruce's wife knew it, and she was full of anger and hatred now.

She raised her hand and slapped Ashley across the face.

Ashley's head snapped back from the force of the slap. There was tremendous power behind the woman's open palm. It was almost as if all her hatred had been compressed into a single, violent slap. The people around saw what had happened, and they could not believe it.

They all felt sorry for Ashley, but no one stood up for her. None of the bystanders wanted to get involved in something like this. This was none of their concern, and it was better not to get involved.

After all, who would want to stand up for a woman who stole another woman's husband?

Ashley could not believe what had happened. She had been slapped across the face, and humiliated in front of so many people.
