Chapter 307
“Suit yourself as long as you can succeed!” Lucas replied nonchalantly.
Since she has the audacity to pick on Ashlyn, I’m sure she’s aware of the potential consequences in store for her.
Before long, Penelope passed out due to the racking sensation she felt throughout the session.
Spencer stated, “Mr. Nolan, she has passed out.”
“I want you to resume once she regains consciousness! Keep it up until she learns her lesson!” Lucas instructed.
“Yes, Mr. Nolan!”
Finally, the trio of the Berry family had been chased out of the hospital.
Mary had a disheveled appearance as her hair was in a complete mess. She didn’t seem like the wife of a
nobleman at all.
She threw a tantrum, complaining, “Horace, you’re such a coward! How could you leave our daughter alone when
she needed you the most? Look at how they have beaten her to a pulp! Arghhhh! They’re ruining our beloved
daughter’s face! It’s over for her! How is she supposed to get married in the future?”
“Can you please keep your mouth shut for a few minutes?” Horace, who felt a headache coming, yelled in return.
“No! That’s impossible! I’m not going to shut up!” Mary wailed hysterically to vent her frustration.
Once Horace brought Penelope, who had passed out, into the car, he warned his wife, “If you don’t shut the f*** up,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou’d better think of ways to get home on your own because I’ll chase you out of the car!”
“Damn it, Horace! Are you trying to cast me aside since I can’t be of use to you anymore? If I hadn’t gone into
hiding and allowed the woman to take over my role as your wife back in the day, you wouldn’t have achieved this
stage in your life either!” Mary lunged at Horace with her nails once she got into the car.
Horace kicked Mary away from him, warning, “Shut up! I’ll throw you out of the car for real if you bring up the
incident back then again!”
In return, he asked rhetorically, “Are you sure you’re not one of the beneficiaries over the years? Do you have any
idea how much money you have spent over the years? If it weren’t because of my hard work, both of you would
have long passed on, starving!”
As a result, Mary bumped into the door of the car. She yelled, groaning due to the racking sensation she felt, “How
dare you hit me?”
Actually, wrath had taken over the man’s rationality. Otherwise, he would never have engaged himself in such an
intense fight with Mary because they had always been a loving couple.
Since the man was in a foul mood, he couldn’t deal with his infuriated wife anymore.
In the end, he decided to neglect Mary and started his car before warning her again, “If you try anything silly again,
I’ll throw you out of the car!”
Mary started to cry, bringing up the trivial incidents that occurred back in the day, stating, “Even though I was
pregnant with Penelope back then, I couldn’t get married to you. Once I have given birth to Penelope, I spent most
of my time alone with her in the tattered place you have rented for me until the woman passed on. It took you
years before you reached out to us and brought us home. Look at you! Once you’re rich, you return the favor to us
in such a manner. Woohoo...”
Horace almost ran into a car halfway through their way home because his wife had distracted him since she
wouldn’t stop crying.
“If you’re not going to stop, I’ll run into the car opposite the road immediately! We’ll take a one-way trip to hell
together as a family!”
Upon her husband’s warning, Mary finally stopped nagging her husband, but she couldn’t suppress her emotions.
Tears continued to stream down her face as she was engulfed by wrath. She was on the verge of having a
meltdown once more in front of her husband.
Ashlyn, I’ll definitely get my revenge and avenge Penelope in the future!
...
On the other hand, Lucas, who dropped by the hospital, finally figured out the sort of relationship Ashlyn had with
those from the Berry family.
He was taken aback once he figured out the truth, but he managed to return to his usual calm and collected self
soon, stating, “To be honest, it doesn’t seem like you’re related to them by any means.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey had been married for four years, but he had never once run a background check on Ashlyn. Therefore, there
were a lot of things about Ashlyn which he wasn’t aware of.
Little did he know the sort of relationship she had with her family. In short, they were as good as complete
strangers.
Lucas never expected Ashlyn to have such a complicated family background because he once thought she was an
orphan.
“I will take care of grandma once she recovers. I want her to spend the rest of her life by my side,” Ashlyn told
Lucas.
She didn’t want her grandmother to be apart from her anymore.
“Hasn’t it crossed your mind to take her in back in the day?” Lucas was heartbroken the moment he detected the
aggrieved expression on her face.
He wanted to rush over to her side to hold her hand, yet he resisted the urge of doing so.
Ashlyn explained, “Previously, I had brought it up for a few times, but she had always been a stubborn one.
Therefore, she refused to give in to my suggestion. Maybe she thinks I’m having it tough on my end as well...”
“It’s my fault and I’m the one to be blamed.” The man’s hoarse voice could be heard, stating his responsibility.
“Huh?” Ashlyn raised her head, looking at the man in the eyes confusedly.
“If only I had paid attention to you and the details, I would have long taken your grandmother in on your behalf.”
Upon hearing Lucas’ words, Ashlyn’s heart skipped a beat because his words hit her hard.
