Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Billionaire Is 141 Chapter 141 No Chance to Turn Over Chapter 141 No Chance to Turn Over Feigning embarrassment, I said, "Ashley, how can you talk like that? I-I'm already a married woman" "Zoey, after all the years we've been together, I don't want to live with regrets. Would you rather offer yourself to a stranger? And he's disabled! Who knows if he's even fully functional anymore?" "But this is the Boltons..." "With how lively it is tonight, no one will pay us any attention." "I'll consider it," I replied hesitantly.

After speaking, I feigned retreat, glancing back to catch the smug grin spreading across his face.

Hah, so much for genuine love.

If Ashley truly cared for Zoey, he wouldn't betray her like this. He's just unwilling to let go of her physical allure.

I'd bet anything he'll try to manipulate Zoey, turning her into his mistress to satisfy his desires whenever it suits him.

Men like him are absolutely revolting.

But Ashley, if you choose to be so vile, don't expectto hold back.

I lingered by the entrance for what felt like ages until someone finally appeared.

It was the woman I had seen with Luke after I died-the third daughter of the Hudsons, or Ashley's sister, Alisa.

After my passing, she volunteered at the orphanage, and from behind, her silhouette somewhat resembled mine from before. That's why Luke had mistaken her forback then. Zoey was somewhat familiar with her. "Alisa." "Zoey, it's been ages. Why did you get married so suddenly? You're still young: you could've stayed single for a while longer." "Whether I stayed single or not doesn't really matter, and I'm doing well now, Cin, Alisa-it's freezing out here." Alisa had a naturally soft and kind aura, but if I wasn't mistaken, there was something distinct in the way she looked at Luke. "Zocy, how are things at the Boltons?" "Everything's going well. Since I'm the youngest, they all dote on me. Dad even trustedenough to lettake charge of hosting such an important banquet.

"That explains it, she said, givinga knowing smile. "You seem to be doing well. It's great to see you've moved past what happened. My brother does owe you an apology, and I think Grandpa values you-he 1/4 Chapter 141 No Chance to Turn Over even went as far as organizing this banquet for you? frumeant I shook my head slightly and said. "This banquet sit foror Camer, 10 meant for Lake He's been unwell recently, and Grandpa's main goal is to find a sable wife for Lake to lift his gra Alisa looked worried. "But didn't his ex-wife just pass a "Yes, she did. He's been struggling mentally and has Eve been hopitalized a few times I replied "How is he now?" she asked..

I let out a sigh. "Losing his ex-wife hit him hard. It might not be the best tto arrange a marriage for him, but with Luke falling ill again, my dad had no choice but to haveset up a marriage for him at tonight's banquet. Please, Alisa, don't tell anyone about this Alisa suddenly took hold of my hand, her gaze intense as she looked into my eyes. "Zoey, what do you think of the way I treat you?" "It's been fine. What's wrong, Alisa?" "Could you doa favor?" Sure, Alisa, what is it?" Alisa scanned the area to ensure no one was nearby before continuing. The truth is, I've had feelings for Luke for many years. When I got into a car accident on the overpass, he risked his life to pullout and getto the hospital. I truly cared for him, but back then, he was with Chloe, so I kept my feelings to myself. Now that Chloe is gone, I think I had guessed correctly-Alisa had feelings for Luke.

"Alisa, this isn't simple. My dad has his sights set on several wealthy young women, and you know how influential the Boltons are in this city. Once he speaks, no one will dare refuse him." "Zoey, you have to help me, I've let it go before, but not this time. I won't miss this chance." "Alisa, what exactly are you planning?" She leaned in and quietly shared her plan with me, leavingshocked. 'I don't know... this doesn't feel right" "Zory, I truly want to marry him. Please, I need your help." "Okay, fine." After a moment of hesitation, I agreed. As we walked in, Anna approached to offera drink.

"Aunt Zoey, you look stunning today. All the men can't take their eyes off you I grinned at her. "You've all been thrown out of the Boltons. Who gave you the right to callaunt?" Zoey, don't get too cocky," she shot back, her voice sharp.

My smile widened. "I believe that good actions bring rewards, and bad ones lead to consequences.

2/4 Chapter 141 No Chance to Turn Over Everything happens when it's meant to." Aria let out a laugh. Tm curious to see what kind of consequences you're talking about." Ms. Sander, you might not realize this, but you're not the only one hoping to marry Luke. If you're aiming to join the Boltons, you might want to rethink that plan" Anna glared aticily. "Even if I don't marry into the Boltons, you'll still be pushed out. Trust me, just wait and see" She appeared utterly certain of herself.

I softly laughed, choosing to ignore her as I trailed behind Carter, indulging in a delightful conversation with the guests.

That was before Damian unexpectedly entered and leaned in to whisper something in my ear.

I gave a brief nod, reassuring him that everything was handled.

"Carter, I'm going to greet the guests now." "Alright." I wove through the crowd, engaging with the older guests and accepting their kind words.

Bill had been hovering around my mom all evening, like a persistent fly.

The Sanders were keeping their distance, but Ashley made the effort to cover and offera glass of wine for a toast.

"Mr. Hudson, I'm not really great at drinking.

"This is a gesture of my sincerity. Just have a few sips." I took a small drink, and he walked away pleased.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Anna staring at me, clearly watchingas I drank.

While they were preoccupied, I quickly turned, took the napkin Damian offered, and spat out all the wine.

Alisa made the first move to speak with Luke, despite his significantly improving condition and receiving kidney failure treatment, as well as stomach cancer medication He still appeared drained, showing no interest when Alisa cover to start a conversation.

As soon as Anna approached, he immediately yanked Alisa away, leaving no room for Anna to intervene.

I motioned for Daisy to swap out Anna's orange juice.

Though she was pregnant and couldn't salcohol, she still had to participate in socializing, and she couldn't escape drinking.

At that moment, my phone in the handbag buzzed with a message from Ashley.

3/4 Chapter 141 No Chance to Turn Over "Zoey, chere. I miss you" Lignored the message, pretending to walk in the direction he had gone.

Anna noticed this and quickly trailed behind, setting the stage to accuseof an affair, this twith Ashley Her plan was to catch us in the act and havethrown out of the Boltons.

What she didn't realize was that as soon as she followed, Damian took action and knocked her out.

Lasked Damian to take her to a room, which was completely dark inside.

Damian instructed a bodyguard to locate Ashley, who was alreadym loitering outside the utility room, having followed Anna's directions to the exact location. The bodygstard leaned in and whispered to him.

Ashley was eager to step into the room.

I had expected Anna to pull a move like this; ruining someone's reputation is one of the easiest ways to make them despised.

Since Zoey and Ashley had once been in a deep relationship, it was it was obvious she would team up with him! If the Boltons uncover the truth about Zoey's past with her ex, she'll be out for sure! All Anna had to do was push Ashley a bit further, and a man driven by his desires would soon lose all sense of reason.

When Ashley invitedto join him tonight, I realized he had fallen right into Anna's trap.

So, Anna, I might as well seize this opportunity. You brought this upon yourself.

After tonight, there's no way you'll ever marry into the Boltons.

As expected, the sounds inside beca confusing blend of men and women, With the drug taking effect, would they even be able to tell who was who? Anna confused him for Luke, while Ashley thought she was Zoey.

I wonder how Sadie, the real victim, will feel.

Hmm, I'm eager to see the look on her face.
