Chapter 542 Leaving

Ashley didn't want to waste her breath on Arya any longer.

She pursed her lips impatiently and looked at her intently. "You really want me to leave Andrew, right?"

Arya merely blinked and maintained a blank expression. "You say it like it's so easy. So, are you willing to leave him now? I still remember what you said when I first asked you to leave Andrew not long ago. You said that you loved Andrew so much that you wouldn't leave him. What happened? What made you come around?"

Ashley smiled and smoothed her hair. "That's right, I've come around. I just felt that money was a more practical investment, which is why I had turned to you for help. So? Is your offer still available?"

"Oh? Well, it still is," Arya answered.

"Good. Give me ten million, and I'll leave Andrew."

Arya's eye twitched at what she heard. She raised an eyebrow as her voice rasped "T-Ten million, you say?"

The two of them were sitting by the indoor patio of the cafe. When Arya repeated out loud the money that Ashley was demanding, a lot of passersby looked at them.

Arya was pleased to see that Ashley had changed her mind, but she was demanding too much money!

She thought that Ashley would be comfortable with the idea of a hundred thousand dollars, or maybe even a million. But ten million was just far too much money!

She had already proposed to give her five million last time, but even then Arya felt that it was too much. But now, she was demanding ten million!

Arya pulled a long frown and narrowed her eyes at Ashley. "Aren't you asking for a little too much? You could get that much if you just rob a bank instead. It might be easier, too."

She had really wondered why Ashley would invite her all the way here. But now she realized that it was all about the money.

Arya knew that Ashley was a sniveling bitch! She used to pretend that she was so angelic and pure, but she only did that to impress Andrew.

She looked at Ashley with utter disgust.

'I knew there was something wrong with her. Andrew didn't believe me! Ashley showed her ulterior motives way too late. Now Ashley and Andrew are married. And Ashley is willing to leave him for ten million dollars.'

All of a sudden, Ashley let out a bright smile. Arya kept her face blank but she swallowed the lump in her throat

ndrew will get over her soon. Especially if Arya would make Andrew listen to the recording of this conversation.

Ashley nodded quietly.

Everything was surprisingly going according to plan. If Arya could ensure that Ashley would never return to J City again, then maybe Lesley would finally have a chance with Andrew. She always preferred Lesley over Ashley because she was from a noble family like theirs.

Finally, the two families could be together! Lesley and Andrew were just a perfect match! Lesley was the most beautiful woman in all of J City.

After they had clarified their terms, Ashley asked to have the money transferred to her bank account instead of a check.

Checks were always too dangerous after all.

'Wow! A lot of things are happening today!' Without a second thought, Arya transferred the money to Ashley's account immediately.

After they had said their goodbyes, Ashley was the first to leave. Arya watched Ashley's receding form with disdain. She thought that the only thing Ashley had going for her was her humility. But now she was just the same money-hungry peasant that most commoners were.

Ten million was still a lot of money to hand away, but Arya thought it was worth it compared to a lifetime spent with that despicable daughter-in-law.

Ashley used to say how much she loved Andrew, but now she was willing to abandon him so quickly just for money.

Ashley had agreed to call Arya the day before she left.

She had to prepare to cover her tracks so that Andrew wouldn't blame them.
