Ashley gave an apologetic smile and said, "Uncle Lick and Mr. Zhu, I'm so sorry. I don't feel well. I think I have to go now."
"What happened? Are you all right?"
"Yes, I am. I'll sober up after a good rest," Ashley replied reassuringly.
"Okay, take care, Ashley. It was really nice seeing you!"
"Same here Uncle Lick. Thank you for a lovely evening!"
After bidding them goodbye, Ashley left the room hurriedly with her bag in hand.
As she walked, she intentionally cast a glance at the opposite room.
At this moment, Greyson also happened to walk out of the room he was in and saw someone walk past him in a flash.
Stopping in his tracks, he murmured, "Wow, she looks really familiar."
But before he could figure out who that woman was, she had already disappeared from sight.
Greyson shrugged, quickly putting the brief episode out of his mind.
Meanwhile, Andrew was sitting in his car, waiting for the same woman. He had his eyes fixed on the door, afraid that she would slip out without him noticing.
The car was filled with heavy smoke, but he didn't seem to notice it. He just kept smoking, not taking his eyes off the door.
Since Ashley caught sight of Andrew just now, her heart had been beating wildly.
She had wanted to pay Andrew a visit, of course, but she didn't know whether he was still in that box.
Besides, she hadn't figured out what to say to him if she finally met him again.
All these thoughts made Ashley flinch and chickened out from meeting with Andrew. Apparently, she wasn't prepared to see him just yet.
Andrew spotted Ashley as she walked out of the hotel lobby. He drove toward her, hurriedly rolling down the window to drive out the smoke from the car.
When the car was close enough to Ashley, he said, "Get in."
It was such a simple sentence, but it filled Ashley with a sense of dread.
Andrew wasn't even looking at her.
Instead, he was looking carefully at the road ahea
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
ally confirm that Ashley was really here with him.
After a while, his hands began to roam the rest of her body. Ashley was wearing a white blouse, a black blazer, and a black skirt.
When Andrew's cold hands touched her warm skin, she suddenly came back to her senses. Seeing that Andrew showed no signs of stopping, she made up her mind and bit him.
Drops of blood dripped from his lip, but Andrew had no intention of letting her go. Instead, he became even more violent.
Shrinking back in fear, Ashley held onto his arms and said in a low voice, "No, please, not here..."
Andrew hesitated for a second and then got out of the car. Then, he walked over to the other side and scooped Ashley up from her seat.
Carrying her in his arms, he opened door of his villa with the fingerprint scanner and directly went upstairs to his bedroom. There, he threw Ashley onto the bed and climbed on top of her.
The next day, Ashley rubbed her forehead and slowly opened her eyes. Her head was throbbing with pain.
As she stared at the strange ceiling, she tried to make sense of what was happening. She remembered that she had been in meeting with Lick last night regarding business matters. She also remembered that she had drunk a lot.
But what was she doing in a strange unfamiliar room now?
