Chapter 317
"Oh! The drama Lydia's face flushed with excitement when she heard the conversation through the tablet. She had heard about Ashley's background from Selina The Harvey family were all kept in the dark by Quinton and had never suspected that Ashley wasn't their
biological sister. Lydia was naturally excited now that this drama was about to unfold.
Ashley said, "I can understand but can't forgive you. Do you know how panicked I was when I learned about my background? Even though Dad protected me and kept my background a secret, Mom and my five brothers weren't easy to deal with. I could only put on an act. I was afraid my secret would be exposed one day. By then, I would be kicked out of the Harvey family and even sent to Alendor by Patrick!"
She continued. "Sometimes, I dreamed that my true identity was exposed. Everyone despised me, saying I wasn't the real daughter of the Harvey family and that I had taken over Selina's place. My brothers no longer loved me but beat me, scolded me, and kicked me out of the family I don't know how long these nightmares have been haunting me. Can you take responsibility for this?"
Sofia fell silent as she watched Ashley shouting at the top of her lungs about her misfortunes in the Harvey family. All the glory was superficial. In fact, Ashley had been walking on eggshells in the Harvey family, fearing her identity would be exposed. Given the Harvey family's temper, she would be kicked out even if Quinton protected her. Sofia apologized, "Sorry, Ashley, I really don't know... At that time, I had my reasons. How dare I refuse Quinton's request if he wanted you! He was the powerful chairman of Harvey Group, but I was just an ordinary, helpless hostess-"
"I know you must have other purposes for coming to me this time. Get to the point. I don't think we need to act as a loving mother and daughter. Nobody will believe it Ashley interrupted Sofia coldly before Sofia could finish speaking
"The Harvey family doesn't know your true identity yet. They simply don't allow you to live in the Harvey residence. I've investigated everything. Ashley, have you ever thought about leaving the Harvey family and living on your own?" Sofia asked.
"Are you trying to buy me off to become your spy and betray the Harvey family so that you and your paramour can make money?" Ashley questioned.
"I didn't mean that. This card is for you? Sofia took out a black card and handed it to Ashley. The limit is 17 million dollars. It's my compensation to you as your biological mother. Back then, Quinton gave me a sum and asked me to go abroad and disappear. I gave up my previous job and started the business I always wanted to do. Later, I met a foreign man. We are in love and married. He doesn't mind my past."
Ashley sneered, "If the Harvey family discovers I teamed up with you and betrayed them, I'll meet my tragic end. You want me to work for you for 17 million dollars? Sofia, don't be silly"
"Il arrange everything for you and ensure the Harvey family won't catch you. We only need to do this once because it will be enough to seriously damage the Harvey family. I can understand if you don't want to do it. The 17 million dollars is my compensation for you. No matter how many excuses I made, it's a fact that I abandoned you under Quinton's intimidation back then and caused you to live in fear in the Harvey family. I won't take the money back. If you help me, I'll give you this amount." Sofla made a gesture of the number 17. "Another 17 million dollars?" Ashley asked.
"No! It's 170 million dollars!" Sofia replied.
Ashley's expression changed. 170 million dollars? With this money, I can live without worries for the rest of my life: she thought. Although the Harvey family doted on Ashley, they mostly gave her gifts instead of money. Her monthly pocket money of a few hundred thousand dollars wasn't enough for her. The Harvey family didn't give her too much money because they were afraid she would do something bad. Anyway, if she wanted something, they would try their best to get it for her. She sometimes spent all her pocket money and had to sell her limited edition bags and clothes that were out of season to make money.
In the past, Ashley felt her position in the Harvey family couldn't be replaced by anyone. Even if Selina returned, she would still be the real daughter of the Harvey family. Selina was no match for her. Thus, she never worried about money. Now, she was so short of money. She was kicked out of the Harvey residence and was arranged to live in a high-end condominium. Except for three meals a day and basic living expenses, she wasn't given extra pocket money. Not to mention, Patrick was back; it was only a matter of time before he would target her.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
"You don't have to answer me now, Ashley. You should think carefully about it since it's a big thing. Take this black card and call me when you make a decision. You must think it over carefully. The Harvey family doesn't trust you anymore. They may send someone to follow you secretly. It's not too late now. It will be bad if our plan is exposed. Sofla put on a mask and left in a hurry.
Ashley was left sitting there alone and was lost in thought. After thinking about it over and over again, she eventually put the black card into her bag and hurriedly left
The show was over. Lydia commented first. "Well Ashley must have been tempted by the end. The Harvey family had seen through Ashley's true colors. They haven't kicked her out of the family because the fact that she's not Sara's biological daughter hasn't been exposed. However, once Sohr returns, coupled with the Harvey family's suspicion of Ashley, Ashley's identity will be exposed sooner or later, Ashley isn't stupid and knows what To do to protect herself. If she wants to live without worries for the rest of her life, the best way will be to cooperate with Sutta niske a fortate from the Harvey family, and then disappear
Braj moon clapped. "Is this the drama of a prominent family? Interesting. What do you think, Jeffrey!"
"Anyone who dares to bully Selina will be killed." As expected, Jeffrey's words were full of murderous intent.
Malcolm crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes, emitting a menacing aura. "I agreed with Jeffrey. Selina, how do you plan to deal with the Harvey family! We will do as you say. They will pay for making you sad?"
Selina smiled. "We don't have to do anything. On the contrary. I'll help Ashley erase all traces in that the Tlarvey family won't notice anything. Don't you think if we let things take their course, something interesting will happen?"
