A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 266

I turned my head slightly to hold back the tears that were about to fall from my eyes. Then, I quietly held the bottle in my hand tightly.

"Edward, if you can't protect Ashley well, I will take her away." Justin arranged his clothes and looked at Edward coldly.

Edward also looked at Justin without fear. Their identical faces gave me a very strange feeling.

Justin refused to forgive the Xis, and he didn't want to return to the Xis. He had his own business kingdom, there was no need for him to return to the Xis.

"I won't give you the chance." Edward held my waist and sneered at Justin.

"It's better to be like this." Justin looked at Edward sarcastically. After looking at me deeply, he turned around and left.

"You can't meet Justin secretly in the future." After seeing Justin leave, Edward held me and said with great displeasure.

"I didn't meet him secretly. I met him aboveboard." I sniffed and said to Edward.

"Did Justin give you something just now?" Edward narrowed his eyes and asked in my ear.

Hearing it, I frowned and said with an embarrassed smile, "No, he didn't give me anything."

"Really? Why did I see that Justin gave you..." "The ball begins." Just as I didn't know how to make an excuse, the ball had already begun.

Elegant and charming music sounded. Many women dressed in elegant clothes walked to Edward and invited him to dance.

Edward refused them decisively and then looked at me.

"My dear wife, are you willing to dance with me?"

After refusing those people, Edward went straight into me. He reached out his hand to me gentlemanly and said.

Looking at Edward, I blinked and put my hand on his palm.

"My pleasure."

I put my bag in the lounge and began to dance with Edward.

The round stage was filled with dancing people. In the crowd, I saw Miriam who was talking to the guests.

She noticed my gaze, then she raised her glass to me.

When I saw Miriam, my eyes turned cold.

Although it was the first time I met her, I could sense that she was definitely not simple.

As her aunt, Lorraine must be more powerful. It was said that the relationship between them was very good, and they were also valued by Caesar's father.

The most important thing was whether what happened to her mother had anything to do with Lorraine and Miriam. Why did Caesar die? I asked Paul to investigate Caesar's death, but it showed that his death was an accident.

Caesar was so scheming, how could he die?

Caesar's death and what happened to my mother were both not simple.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

I was lost in thought and forgot that I was dancing.

Edward was not satisfied with my absent-mindedness. He put his face close to my ear and said with dissatisfaction.

"No, I'm just a little tired."

Leaning against Edward's arms, I looked at Miriam again, but I couldn't see her anymore.

"Have a good rest if you're tired. The conference is not over yet. I'll send you to have a rest first."

"Okay."

I leaned against Edward's arms and allowed him to help me walk to the lounge.

There were lounges for guests to rest here.

Edward asked me to lie on the bed. Then he kissed me and left.

I was a little tired, so I fell asleep on the bed.

When I was in a daze, I heard someone opening the door of the lounge and walking to me. I was so tired, when I opened my eyes, I saw a black shadow walking to me. I thought it was Edward who worried about me and came back again.

"Edward... I'm fine... Go and entertain those guests first, I want to sleep..." "Oh." Before I could finish my words, my lips were kissed by someone. The hot temperature made my body tremble.

It was not Edward's smell.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Justin.

"Justin, what's wrong with you?"

Justin suddenly kissed me, which made me very angry. However, his abnormal reaction attracted my attention.

"Ashley, I want you." His deep green eyes looked strange. He kept touching my body with hot hands.

I raised my hand and slapped him in the face, trying to calm him down.

Justin narrowed his eyes and stared at me. His eyes turned deeper and deeper.

"Justin, wake up..."

"Ah!" I wanted Justin to wake up, but he pushed me to the bed rudely and took off my clothes.

He kept kissing my body. I tried to kick him away, but I couldn't do anything about it.
