Chapter 1710 The Truth

The document didn’t explain how Rebecca was saved. She was the victim but ended up being cursed

and labeled as a shameless whore. If I were in her shoes, I would’ve taken my life on the spot.

What should I do? The person I despised the most took a bullet for me. No wonder Rebecca said I stole

everything I owned.

If it were me who suffered in the hands of the thugs, I might’ve gone crazy or go to a place where no one

knew me and spent the rest of my life alone until my meeting with Grim Reaper. No matter what, I

wouldn’t be Ashton’s wife, and I wouldn’t have given birth to our children and led a happy life like now.

Realizing my state, both John and Ashton stopped grappling instantly.

John strode over to me and wrapped an arm over my shoulder before giving me a pat. “Are you all

right?”

Ashton’s tensed voice sounded from behind. “No one is all right.”

Comprehension dawned, and I turned at my shoulder to look at Ashton. The anguish in his eyes

confirmed my guess.

It seemed that Ashton knew everything from the very beginning.

He knew the thugs’ target was me, and that they mistook Rebecca for me.

The worst possibility popped up in my mind.

Ashton was a smart man. It was normal for his enemies to take revenge on him, so he must’ve expected

this matter.

Or rather, he said nothing and allowed the matter to happen.

Young Ashton was arrogant and confident, and he had offended a lot of people. Knowing that losers

wouldn’t give up easily and that Rebecca would land in trouble by sticking to him at all times, he didn’t

bother stopping the matter or rejecting her. Instead, he allowed everyone to think that Rebecca was his

loved one.

He had succeeded. When the sore loser began taking revenge, Rebecca became his target and suffered

on behalf of me. Besides losing her virginity, she also got pregnant with one of the thugs’ child. That

wasn’t only it…

Perhaps the truth was much crueler than I could imagine.

At once, I began to understand why he acted capriciously for the first two years of our marriage. Ashton

despised me. He hated himself for not being able to love me, and how he sacrificed his deceased best

friend’s sister.

Ashton had always been a man with principles, but he became someone whom he despised the most in

order to protect me.

My throat started tingling as though ants were crawling up. Before I could say anything, Ashton stalked

out swiftly and left John and me behind. His retreating figure seemed desolate and unfathomable.

“Is he crazy?” John declared, staring at his back in confusion.

I collapsed onto the couch, realizing I had destroyed the pride Ashton had been carefully preserving all

over the years and forced him to show his bad side to the public. “I’m the crazy one.”

A general who had achieved plenty of military achievements was about to gain success when an insolent

witness jumped out and pointed at his military badges while yelling, “He’s a deserter!” Everyone lost trust

in him, and the general ended up dying full of regrets.

Just like the general, Ashton was born into an affluent family. He was proud and noble.

Suddenly, I was afraid that the flaw would act as a domino effect and destroyed Ashton thoroughly.

That very night, Ashton’s phone was switched off.

As though she could sense the adults’ changes, Audrey stuck to me when he didn’t come back, afraid

that I would leave.

To make sure my feelings did not affect the children, I had to put on a calm front and pretended nothing

happened. Privately, I used my connections to find out where he was.

Before dawn broke, it began drizzling. I felt stuffy inside the house, so I got up and went to the balcony to

look at the rain.

Actually, after spending the entire night in a daze, I didn’t even know if I was looking at the rain or hoping

to see Ashton’s familiar figure coming back home.
