After Ashley got off from the car and disappeared from his sight, Andrew looked away and turned the
steering wheel to make his way to his office.
Ashley walked to the cake shop in a great mood. Suddenly she was blocked by someone. The man
looked at her with a sad face, very unlike his usual peppy self.
Ashley raised her head and glanced at him, preparing to walk around him.
But the man suddenly grabbed her arm, forcing her to look at him. "Who is he?"
Oh, right! The man who had stopped Ashley was none other than Raymond.
He had overheard a rumor from Lena about Ashley and he couldn't wait to see his ex-girlfriend.
When he saw her getting out of a luxury car, he believed Lena.
Raymond didn't act rationally. He grabbed Ashley's arm tightly with both hands, exerting more force
than necessary. He went crazy when he saw her getting down from that pricey car.
He never thought that Ashley would change so much in less than a month.
Ashley saw Raymond and her expression soured. His grip on her arm was so painful that she had to
bite her lip to stop herself from crying out, "Whoever he is, it has nothing to do with you. Let me go"
Instead of loosening his grip, Raymond tightened it. Glaring at her, he asked sarcastically, "Is he the
guy who you got married to? You married him, right?"
Ashley's expression changed. "I don't know what you are talking about," she replied.
But she wondered how Raymond knew that she was married. 'Only Peggy and Lena knew. Did they tell
him?' she thought to herself.
Raymond saw Ashley's baffled expression and although it disappeared in a flash, he caught it. "What?"
he sneered, "You don't want to admit it? Ashley Mu, was it because you felt lonely?" Raymond asked,
moving closer to her.
Startled, Ashley asked warily, "Raymond, what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do? I want to satisfy you, of course." Raymond had a sardonic grin and tried to lean
close to her red lips. At that moment, she turned her head and his lips brushed her face.
Raymond was momentarily distracted. Using this opportunity, Ashley managed to wrench herself free
from his grip. She raised her hand and slapped him.
"Thwack!" The sound was loud. Raymond's neck twisted the other way, and there was blood on his
lips. Ashley looked at him, feeling no sympathy at all.
But he seemed to be jolted by this slap. He explained to Ashley who was looking at him coldly, "Ashley,
I am sorry. I didn't mean it."
She glared at him angrily and prepared to leave.
A nervous Raymond hurried to chase her. "Ashley, I didn't mean to do that just now. Let me explain..."
"I don't need your explanation. Just don't bother me in the future," Ashley stated.
"Is it because of that man?" Raymond questioned.
Ashley frowned and stared at him.
"I already know everything, Ashley." There was a bitter smile on his face.
"Lena told me that you got married, but I didn't believe her. However, I have to believe it now. Anyway, I
never thought that you were this kind of woman. I thought Lena made it up, but..." Raymond looked
sadly at Ashley.
He had heard from Lena that Ashley was looking for a shop after leaving the Luo Group, and then she
had hooked up with a rich man for some unknown reason. Finally, she had got married to the same
man.
Of course, these were not Lena's words. She might have twisted the truth, but whether or not she did it
intentionally, he naturally believed it. That was the reason why he had come to Ashley today.
However, he hadn't thought that he would see Ashley coming out of a luxury car as soon as he arrived.
With Lena's words still ringing his head, he was certain that Ashley had made some deal with that man
before marrying him.
Ashley raised her eyebrows. It was Lena again.
This woman was everywhere and tried to cause trouble to her all the time.
Ashley suddenly laughed and asked Raymond, "Are you brainless? You actually believe that woman?
And, what I do is none of your business. You just need to care about your fiancee. Do you understand?
My brother-in-law!"
Raymond was heartbroken. "This is not about Lena...
Ashley, you don't need to take revenge on me this way. You will hurt yourself. And that man doesn't
love you. Why did you marry him?
Get a divorce. It is not too late."
Raymond couldn't help but try and talk her out of this marriage. Even though Ashley was rude to him
right now, he didn't want her to get hurt.
"Raymond, I have already told you clearly that I am no longer part of your life!"
Seeing that Raymond was frustrated, Ashley tried to leave.
"Ashley..." He wanted to grasp her hand as she walked past him, but he failed.
"Bang!" Raymond punched the wall beside him. There was blood on his hand, but he didn't care. He
looked at Ashley's back with a dim expression in his eyes. Nobody knew what he was thinking.
Ashley went into the shop. She didn't look well. Nobody would be happy if they were bitten by a crazy
dog.
Ashley rolled up her sleeve. As expected, there was an ugly blue mark on her arm where Raymond
had held her. Ashley felt the pain even if she just looked at the injury. She didn't know how she resisted
it.
Why was she having so much bad luck these days? First her hand got burnt, and now her arm was
injured by Raymond.
Before Ashley could put her sleeve down and conceal the wound, Cheryl jogged over to her. Seeing
the injury on her arm, Cheryl's eyes widened. "Ashley, what's wrong with your arm?" she asked.
Ashley put down her sleeve and smiled at Cheryl who was concerned about her. "I am fine. It's nothing
serious. I fell because I was walking too fast this morning."
Cheryl pursed her lips and looked closely. "How can it be caused by a fall? And even if you fell on the
floor, you would hurt your hand not your arm."
Ashley couldn't reply. This little girl was smart today.
"Ashley, I am going to go and buy some medicine for you."
Ashley looked around the shop. It was early in the morning, and there were not many customers.
Moreover, her arm hurt her a lot, so she simply nodded.
