A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 155

"Do you think your father's death was caused by the Xis? Why did you believe William's words? You are hopelessly stupid! Your father's death was an accident. The diary and recording were all fake. If you still believe William, I have nothing to say. But let me tell you, Ashley, Edward owed you and your child. But he had paid you back. He knew that you and William colluded with each other, but he didn't stop you. Because he thought that you loved him. But all you wanted was to take revenge. Now he is dead, are you happy? He almost died to save you many times! He loved you so much, but how did you treat him? Do you think you're qualified to die?"

Stewart's sharp roar made my heart so painful.

I painfully pressed my chest and gasped with difficulty.

Edward... Did you really hate me so much? You even took my baby away.

Edward...

"Ashley, that's enough. Can you stop being like this?" A month later.

I gradually became silent, as if I were living in my own world. No matter who talked to me, I didn't have any reaction.

I held my body and stubbornly immersed myself in my own thoughts. Amy came to accompany me every day. She cooked soup for me, took a bath for me, took care of me, and talked to me. Even my mother was not so kind to me.

I knew that she was so good to me and I appreciated it so much. But I was desperate. All I wanted was to die.

Amy was angry. She smashed the bowl on the table and growled at me angrily.

I rolled my eyes slightly and looked at Amy who was glaring at me angrily in silence.

"Can your child come back to life in this way? Can Edward come back to life? If you don't cheer up, the Xi's Group will be taken over. Don't you want to protect the last thing of Edward?"

Amy's words gave me some hope.

The Xi's Group...

She was right. It was Edward's company. Even if it was only an empty title, even if it was heavily in debt, I couldn't let others take it away.

"I want... to eat." After a long time, I opened my mouth stiffly, looked at Amy, and said in an almost crying voice.

With tears in her eyes, Amy rushed to me, hugged my shoulder, and said, "Ashley, you have to get better. The Ashley I know shouldn't be like this. Do you understand?"

I looked up weakly and glanced at Amy. Then I rolled my eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, Amy. I let you worry about me for so long."

"No. As long as you can cheer up, I am very happy. Ashley, you will not be defeated by anything. You have to stand up to revenge."

Yes, I wanted to take revenge. I wanted to compete with William.

He had taken away all the things which were belonged to Edward. I must take them back.

Those things belonged to Edward. William, I wouldn't let you succeed.

Since Amy said those words to me, I forced myself to become stronger.

I forced myself every day. Because of the premature birth, my body became very weak. I recuperated for nearly three months before I recovered.

On the day I was discharged from the hospital, Scott came to see me. She hugged me with tears in her eyes.

"Sorry, I didn't know."

As soon as Scott saw me, she apologized to me.

I knew why Scott said that. At that time, she and Leonard took Betty abroad for treatment, so they didn't know what happened in the last three months.

"It's okay, I don't blame you." Looking at Scott who was as tender as a mother, I shook my head gently.

I like her. I just like her eyes when she was looking at me.

She looked at me if she was looking at the most precious thing in the world. "Poor child. Tell me if you need any help. As long as it's something I can do, I'll help you." Scott touched my hair and said gently.

I shook my head and said blandly, "I won't rely on anyone. I can do it on my own. I want to create a business world that belongs to myself."

"The Xi's Group has a debt of more than two billion dollars. Are you sure you want to bear all these debts?" Scott knew that I want to take over the Xi's Group. She looked at me with concern and asked.

"I'm sure." I stared at Scott, raised my head, looked at the blue sky, and said.

"One day, I will stand at the highest position and tell everyone that whatever you want to do, you should do it, regardless of success or failure."

"You are really similar to Leonard." Hearing what I said, Scott said with some feelings.

I smiled and said shyly, "How can I compare with him? He started from scratch, but he became one of the top ten rich people in Beijing in just half a year."

"He is indeed very capable. However, your personality is very similar to his. Both of you are so stubborn." Scott joked.

I was a little envious of the love between Scott and Leonard. I heard that they had been married for decades, but they had never quarreled. Although Leonard was rich and many beautiful women wanted to get close to him, he never had a mistress.
