Mystery Bride's Revenge

Quanton could not calm himself when he heard the other end of the line, his low roar drawing the attention of the people around him.

"Til deal with it right away!" he said. After hanging up the phone, Quinton approached Joseph and the gang, informing them, "Ill be leaving Ashley to you all. I need to head back to the office." "Dad, what exactly happened? Frederick asked.

"There's no hiding from you, but there's no time to explain. Check your phones, and you'll know. After saying that, Quinton stalked off, leaving the people around him scratching their heads.

On the spot. Frederick pulled out his phone and saw a trending topic that read: The daughter of the Harvey family slashed her wrist for unknown reasons and was rushed to the hospital. Is this the twisted nature of humanity, or is it just moral decay?]

The post also included a photo of the scene where the Harvey family looked grim. The picture showed Quinton and the others rushing Ashley to the hospital. Although they tried to stay off the radar, there had been an impromptu shot. Since saving a life was more important, what they could pull off could never compare to a meticulously laid plan. They had never expected to be photographed in clear view as if someone had known their whereabouts for a long time and was hiding near them.

Frederick was dumbfounded. "Who the hell did this? How could they know what happened in our family today?" he asked. They could not have arranged for reporters to stake her out, much less take those shots, if they had not known about it in the first place and what hospital they were going to send Ashley to

"Is there a traitor among us? Or..." Joseph asked, looking sullenly at the ward where Ashley was in.

Manuel caught the meaning behind Joseph's gaze and questioned, Joseph, do you suspect that Ashley did it on purpose?"

Joseph replied coldly. "Ashley's attempt to end her own life may just be a ploy to let the reporters in on this, all to keep us from holding her accountable for framing Selina"

"That's quite heardless of you to say, Joseph. Even if Ashley has done something wrong, she's still our beloved sister. Why do you have to think so despicably of Ashley? Manuel complained. He could no longer stand it. Ashley was still in a coma and being rescued inside, but Joseph had to speculate about Ashley's motives. Manuel wondered. Is Joseph calling Ashley a bad person just because she made some mistakes?

"Me? Heartless! So be it. I can't prove that Ashley did it on purpose. I only mentioned the possibility. However, the matter has gone viral, so even if Harvey Group can minimize the damage in time, the damage done to our family can't be undone. Don't forget the photos of Ashley flirting with two foreign men. The culprit has not yet approached us to make demands. We re caught in the middle. I leave it to you, Manuel, to explain it to Mom if the finds out." Joseph stated.

Manuel clenched his fists and looked at Joseph, saying. "All right, I'll explain it to Mom Ashley may have been wrong about many things, but she wouldn't drag the Harvey family's reputation through the mud to save herself!" With that, Manuel turned around and left. "Manuel! Hey!" Frederick called out. He heaved a sigh as he saw Joseph and Manuel arguing. "You went too far, Joseph. Ashley wouldn't have done such a crazy thing no matter what Frederick reprimanded.

"I'm just pointing out a possibility. Have you forgotten the vow we made, Frederick? No matter who tarnished our family name, we wouldn't let them get away with it Selina was kicked out, framed, and hated by us for so long. Ashley was behind it all. What else wouldn't she do?" Joseph replied coldly

Frederick was taken aback and thought. He has a point, Everything that's happened to Selina and how she's fallen out with the Harvey family is because Ashley set her up. Why should I stand up for Ashley? Whether Ashley did it on purpose or not, she was caught with evidence and made the Harvey family lose face. She should bear the greatest responsibility for that.

Then came Lloyd, the mediator, suggesting, "Forget it, Joseph. Manuel has been with Ashley for a long time. He must feel guilty and beat himself up for not seeing Ashley's true colors. When Selina reunited with us, I heard Manuel was pretty cold to Selina because of Ashley, not to mention being clueless about Selina's true character. Manuel will shut himself off if you act like this.

Lloyd's smooth handling of the situation somewhat calmed Joseph's anger, forcing the latter to speak, I will call Mrs. Clark and tell her about it so she can keep it from Mom Lloyd, Manuel is the man of the family. He needs to pull himself together. Things have happened, so what's the use of beating yourself up!"

Frederick pursed his lips before saying. Is it possible? The news took us all by surprise, I bet it's easy for Mom to find out."

Joseph rubbed his temples in response, saying, "Mom hasn't made a move yet, which means she hasn't gotten wind of it yet. We'll keep it from her as long as possible. Things are chaotic enough. The last thing I need is more trouble." "You're right. Joseph. Let's do as you say, Frederick agreed

Later, Cora was shocked when she heard from Joseph. Of course, Joseph did not say Ashley had tried to take her own life. He only said she had fallen down the stairs and injured herself. "Is Ashley okay?" Cora asked In Cora's eyes, Ashley had always been her future daughter-in-law, one of her own. Timothy was fond of Ashley, too. When Corn heard Ashley was in the hospital, she was naturally concerned.

1. es. Clark. The media has a way of twisting the truth these days. I'm afraid my mom will get too upset if she finds out about it. You know how emotional she is about Selina's recent incident. We'll take good care of Ashley. Please keep this from my mom. Don't let her know Ashley is injured." Joseph begged.

"Til do my best," Cora replied. She found Joseph's tone and words rather strange but could not put her finger on it. The important thing was to keep Sara in the dark.

That was when Cora approached Sara. They were on a cruise, venturing out to sea for sightseeing. Fortunately, they were out at sea and could only be contacted via satellite communication. The signal was poor, so Sara was the least likely to focus on her phone, which worked in Cora's favor

ed off after the call. Did something happen!" Sara asked.

Sara tugged at her bonnet and looked at Cora. "What's wrong, Cora? You seemed

"It's just trivial stuff. Don't worry, Sara. Let's get our minds off Sokovis and have some fun. We came here to relax, right?" Cora lied.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"You're right." Sara replied, taking a deep breath. So much has happened lately, and it all involved Selina, Sara said to herself. Her head ached at the thought.
