A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 144

"Boss asked me to protect Miss Mu and the child." Paul shook off her hand coldly and said with no expression.

Her face became extremely unhappy. She whispered to herself, and her expression seemed a little crazy, "Edward, you silly boy... Why do you like this kind of bad woman?"

"Ashley, you ruined my family. If something bad happens to Edward, I won't let you go."

She looked at me with hatred, roared at me, and then left the yard.

I looked at her back in a daze. In my memory, although she was mean and sarcastic, she had always cared about her image. However, she was like a shrew at that day, and she looked older.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel complicated.

I never thought about ruining Edward. I just...

Just what?

I didn't even know what I was thinking at that time. Maybe I loved Edward too deeply and hated him too much.

"Are you hurt?"

Paul's voice brought me back to reality. I shook my head, and there was a hint of weakness in my eyes, "I'm fine, Paul. Have you investigated the thing thoroughly?" I asked Paul to investigate the deaths of those people. Although the legal medical experts had examined their bodies, I didn't believe them.

"It's the same as the identification result. Since William used this method, he would do it flawlessly." Paul's looked worried.

"If we can't find evidence, it will be very difficult for him to reverse the verdict."

Even if Edward used to be the iconic business leader in Beijing, everybody was equal before the law. What's more, all the evidences were against Edward.

"Take me to find the model's families."

I touched my belly and said.

Since we couldn't find any evidence, I had to find another way.

The model who was going to represent the Xi's Group to participate in this design competition was well-known in Beijing. Her name was Sally.

When we went to her house, after Sally's parents knew that I wanted to ask about the incident, they said to me indignantly, "The Xi's Group has no conscience. My wife and I will fight to the bitter end. I will make Edward pay for what he has done."

"Yes, the businessmen nowadays can do anything for interests. I can't let Sally turn in her grave."

Seeing that they were so excited, I said, "I can understand you. I came here to know about the situation at that time. Did Sally suddenly die after wearing the wedding dress?"

"Yes, when Sally left, she said that there was a design competition and she was the one who wore the best wedding dress. She was very happy and asked us to watch her on TV. Unexpectedly, she died in the production workshop of the Xis. When she died, she was wearing the wedding dress. The legal medical expert said that the cloth of the wedding dress was mixed with harmful material which led to Sally's death."

"Did Sally touch anything before she wore the dress?" I frowned and asked again.

Since the powder I sprinkled on the wedding dress was just ordinary sleeping powder, how could it cause Sally to die?

But Sally died. What was going on? Edward knew that I wanted to stop his company from participating in the design competition, but he didn't stop me. Instead, he allowed me to do it. William knew Edward's mind, so he used me to frame Edward. The key was when he poisoned the wedding dress.

"What do you mean by that?" After listening to what I said, Sally's parents said with an unpleasant expression.

I noticed the displeasure on their faces. I immediately came to sense and explained, "I'm just worried that you might have been cheated by someone. I want to ask.."

"There's no need to say anything. I know you. You used to be Edward's ex- wife. But you had an ambiguous relationship with Edward. You married William and divorced him. We don't welcome a dissolute woman like you." Sally's father stood up and said as he stared at me with unusually stern eyes.

I wanted to find if Sally left any clues, but her parents were so excited that they drove me out.

I had no choice but to leave their house in dismay.

As soon as I walked out of their house, a black car stopped beside me.

I looked warily at the car parked next to me, and my eyes were cold as I looked at the car window which was slowly rolling down.

"Ashley, are you busy running around for Edward now?"

I saw William's handsome and gentle face.

He said and looked at me with dissatisfaction.

"William, I have always thought that you are a gentleman. I didn't expect that you are more despicable than anyone else. In order to achieve your goal, you killed innocent people." I held my belly and looked at him sarcastically.

"As long as I can defeat Edward, it's not a big deal for me to kill someone." William held his chin and sneered at me.

His words made me angry.

"Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Haha..."

Hearing my words, William raised his head and laughed.
