A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 28

Edward didn't say anything, and his lips pursed tightly.

I lowered my eyes and didn't dare to look at Edward.

"Never touch her belongings again." Edward's face darkened.

I bit my lips and didn't dare to speak anymore.

As expected, Edward was deeply in love with Betty, even treating this small photo as a treasure.

Then he put the photo back in a delicate box in the drawer. He turned to me, said coldly, "You should go now. Paul will send you home."

"Thank you."

His coldness scared me, I nodded obediently.

When I left the villa, I heard Paul say it was bought by Edward for his own. He usually spent the night here alone. No other women knew it, not even Betty. I'm the first woman to enter it.

Hearing what Paul said, I asked curiously, "Isn't he going to give this villa to Betty?"

"No, this villa is used by the boss to carry his own memory." Paul turned around and looked at me with deep eyes.

His words completely confused me.

Then Paul said to me, " Boss was kidnapped when he was 12 years old. There were other girls who were kidnapped at that time, and Miss Fang was one of them. Although the Fangs and the Xis were old friends, Boss didn't know Miss Fang at that time. Their fate started from the abduction."

"Boss was ill seriously, but those kidnappers didn't want to cure him. When the police came, the kidnappers deserted all of them in the forest. Boss was almost losing his consciousness. It was Miss Fang who supported Boss to walk out of the forest. That's why Miss Fang is so important to Boss."

It turned out that there was such a past between Betty and Edward.

After I heard these, I recalled how carefully Edward preserved the picture.

That look of Edward reminded me of myself in the past. I was also carefully protecting Edward like this.

Three days later, when I was about to hand in the design draft for the Paris competition, I made up my mind and asked Amy to come out for a drink.

But I didn't drink. Because of my bad appetite recently, I couldn't even drink wine, so I ordered a glass of juice.

Amy laughed at me for being too melodramatic. I invited her to drink, but I didn't drink.

I just waved my hand and explained that my stomach was uncomfortable recently, drinking would make it become worse and worse.

Then I went to the bathroom, on the way to it, I heard a familiar voice in a private room.

“Mark, you just left the jail. Why are you suddenly so rich?" A woman's saccharine voice came over.

"Babe, you don't know. I have gotten hush money of 10 million from Edward, so are my mom and brother. That's why I can be your sugar daddy now." Mark said as he held the woman in his arms, and caressed her on the chest.

The woman let out a broken moan and panted toward Mark.

"Mark, awesome. But why did Mr. Xi give you so much money?"

"Because he needed us to keep it a secret that he helped Betty to destroy evidence. Edward really likes Betty. He knows Ashley was wronged, but he has chosen to help Betty."

Like being struck by lightning, Ashley froze.

What was he talking about?

Edward was protecting Betty? He had been knowing I was framed?

"Mark, I don't understand what you mean. Is it G.M. Xi who framed Ashley or Betty who you mentioned?"

"Sweetheart, you're really stupid. Betty set up Ashley. She asked me to steal Ashley's ID card and gave me 2 million in return. It was her that arrange Rita Wu to commit perjury. And Edward had to clean up the mess she left. So more money comes."

"No matter how much I wanted, he had to give me. Otherwise, if I accidentally spilled the beans, his baby would really be in trouble."

"She is a famous movie star and future wife of Edward. How would she afraid of these gossips. Even if it finally exposed, Edward will be able to help her get out of this trouble."

"Hehe... You don't understand, do you? What a star fears the most is the negative influence. Besides, I have the matter that she asked me to transfer the money to Alan with Ashley's bank card. Moreover... It's not an accident that Alan was killed by a car. It's all done by Betty. If everyone in Peking knows that Betty is such a person, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive in the entertainment circle. Even if she is protected by Edward."

"She is a tough woman. But why does she hate Ashley?"

"Who knows what kind of grudge between them." "Bang."

Before Mark and the woman could finish their words, I couldn't control my emotions and kicked open the door of Mark's private room.
