A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 297

Ashley looked at Nacho who was not far away and asked.

Athena looked at Ashley sadly and then looked away. She nodded and said, "He is the son of Justin and me."

"Then... Why did he say..."

"Justin died in an accident a few years ago..."

Athena burst into tears before she finished her words.

Ashley was shocked, and she looked at Athena who was crying in disbelief.

She felt that something must be wrong.

How could Justin die? He was a very powerful man.

She thought that Athena must be kidding.

"Athena, don't joke with me. This joke is not funny at all."

Ashley clenched her fists, looked at Athena and said weakly.

Athena looked at Ashley sadly and said, "It's true, Ashley."

"No..."

Ashley got up in fear, as if she refused to believe Athena's words.

"He didn't want you to be sad, so he asked us to hide it from you." Athena looked at the sorrowful expression on Ashley's face and said.

"Does Edward know about it?" Ashley looked at Athena quietly for a long time, then she came to sense and asked with tears in her eyes.

"Yes." Athena nodded. Hearing it, Ashley was absolutely shattered.

Edward knew that Justin had an accident, and everyone knew about it. But why did everyone keep it from her?

Ashley clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and said to Athena, "How long ago?"

"A long time time. Ashley, don't mention the past anymore. Nacho has caused you a lot of trouble, hasn't he? Let me apologize for him..."

"Aunt Athena, why don't you tell her that father died 12 years ago?"

Before Athena could finish her words, Nacho interrupted her.

Nacho walked to Athena and Ashley, and then said coldly.

He wanted Ashley to know who Justin died for.

Over the years, his father had been waiting for Ashley to come back.

"Nacho."

Looking at Nacho, Athena was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat. She got up and looked at Nacho with pleading eyes.

Nacho clenched his fists and looked at Athena, he was in a dilemma. Ashley was scared by Nacho's words. Her face turned pale and she fell down on the sofa.

"Ashley." Athena was flustered. She immediately asked the housekeeper to prepare the car and sent Ashley to the hospital.

Nacho was a little worried when Ashley fainted, but he pretended that he didn't care about it.

Seeing that Nacho was stubborn and indifferent, Athene was worried.

"Nacho, you should know very well what your father meant. He didn't want Ashley to know the truth. Why did you tell her the truth?"

"Aunt Athena, don't you think that dad is too poor?" Nacho clenched his fists and looked at Athena. Her eyes, which were the same as Justin's, sparkled with unwillingness.

Athena was shocked by Nacho's words and her back froze.

"My dad had been waiting for Ashley for a lifetime. Even though Ashley came back here, dad is still very lonely. Ashley knows nothing. She doesn't know how my dad died, and she doesn't even know that my dad is dead."

"My poor dad. I want to keep Ashley in the Gu family to accompany me and dad. She has been accompanying Edward and Cedric all the time, but she never accompanied me. I think father will be very happy to see her here, right?"

"Nacho." Hearing Nacho's words, Athena had a headache and wanted to stop him. However, Nacho was a very stubborn person. It was difficult for others to change his mind. Nacho looked at Athena and said with deep eyes, "Aunt Athena, Ashley must stay here with my father and me. Otherwise, I can't make sure what I will do."

"Nacho, your father will be sad to see you like this."

Athena didn't want Nacho to be so persistent. Justin just wanted a child of him and Ashley.

Justin wanted Ashley and Edward to live a good life. He never wanted to ruin their happiness.

Giving birth to Nacho was Justin's selfish motives.

"Dad wants her to stay with us. I'm right."

Nacho's words troubled Athena.

She didn't know how to change Nacho's stubborn mind.

As soon as Edward finished a video conference, he received a phone call from Athena and was told that Ashley was in the hospital.

Edward was so worried and rushed to the hospital.

When he saw Athena, he said unhappily, "What did you say to Ashley?"

Athena looked at Edward's cold face and said with a bitter smile, "I didn't say anything to Ashley. I just told her that Justin passed away a few years ago, but Nacho couldn't control his emotions."

"Justin's child?"

Edward knew that Athena had given birth to a son for Justin. He investigated this child before.
