Mystery Bride's Revenge

Sofia was surprised. "Of course! If you're willing to help, that's better!"

After that, she scanned around cautiously and used a hidden earpiece to contact her bodyguards, asking whether anyone was tracking and monitoring Ashley nearby. The response came back clear. There was no one.

"Don't worry, I'm even more cautious than you. I know what's at stake if I fail. The Harvey family had people tailing me, but I managed to shake them off before meeting you." Ashley assured. "That's my daughter; smart as always, Sofia complimented.

Ashley fell silent. Sofia realized she had misspoken, and an awkward silence followed.

"Since I've promised you, I want another 30 million dollars, and I need to know how exactly you plan to get me out of Clusia without the Harvey family ever finding me," Ashley demanded. "Your concerns are valid. Don't worry, I'll give you a

The two of them quickly parted ways afterward.

Once they left, a figure at a nearby table stood up. As he lowered the newspaper and took off his sunglasses, a pair of deep, calculating eyes were revealed. A smirk played on the man's lips.

A few more days passed, and Ashley finally received words from Sofia.

On top of detailed instructions for a new identity and a plan to escape the country undetected, she also received a black card.

She had checked that the card came with a spending limit of 30 million dollars.

It was time to make a decision.

Ashley took out the phone and called Sofia. "I want to meet the person behind all this and speak with them directly

Sofia was silent for a full five minutes

"You need to understand the gravity of the situation. I need assurance that I'm safe in this and that you'll protect me in all ways. Otherwise, no matter how much money I get. I can't risk my life for going along with your plan. Even if I'm disgraced. I'm still a daughter of the Harvey family. As time goes by, they will still treat me well." Ashley reasoned.

Her words managed to convince Sofia, who nodded her head. "Okay, I'll arrange for thatContent © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

After hanging up, Ashley took a deep breath and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they were clear and resolute.

Meanwhile, Patrick took Sara out for some fresh air.

With the latter unable to move around much, she sat in a wheelchair with Patrick gently pushing her along as he shared amusing stories from his time expanding Harvey Group's business in Yondora. His tales of local customs made Sara laugh. However, amidst her laughter, shadows of worry still lingered in her eyes,

Patrick eventually took Sara to a riverside, where they could enjoy the wind and sunlight.

"Winter has crept up on Sokovis, Sara said, feeling the bite of the cold and the frost covering the ground. She was wearing a down jacket as she breathed out a musty sigh.

Patrick crouched beside her wheelchair "Yeah, Mom. Even with the sun out, we shouldn't stay out long. You might catch a cull"

till remember it was almost summer when Selina cut ties with our family. The weather was a little hot that day, and now, its neath the end of

ent. His gaze dimmed at the men of Selma

He didn't know how to continue the conversation for a moment.

Sara snapped out of her thoughts and hurriedly said, "Sorry, child. It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought up such things. Everyone was so happy when you came back. Why did I have to mention Selina again?"

"Mom, it's natural for you to think about her. I've heard everything from Dad. It's true that we have wronged her by believing Ashley and pushed Selina away, which led to her leaving in disappointment... Patrick said.

Sara's lips twitched at the mention of Ashley, "Speaking of Ashley, have you met her!"

Patrick nodded. "We met once. I only went to warn her not to cause any more trouble."

"Ashley ended up like this because I failed as a mother. I never imagined she would go so far as to frame Selina or sell her dignity to climb the social ladder. I felt responsible, and I hoped that after this ordeal, she would mature. Let's bring her back to the Harvey residence. I've already lost one daughter. I didn't want to lose a second because of my mistakes," Sara said.

"Mom!" Patrick called out.

He was about to protest, but Sara stopped him. I know what you're going to say. It's just a thought I had. I understand that if I let Ashley back. everyone would have grievances about it, and Selina would never forgive us. So much has happened in the past year; things are very different now. Don't worry, I won't act recklessly"

"That's good. What Ashley did this time is unforgivable. Even if she's the daughter of the Harvey family and our sisters, we can't just forgive her easily. At most, we can ensure she's cared for for the rest of her life, and that's already more than enough, Patrick said. "I'm tired, Patrick Let's go back, Sara suggested

"Okay." Patrick knew his words had hum Sara

Actually, Sara was testing the water. She still wanted to bring Ashley back. However, with everyone opposing it, she couldn't insist further.

ra was a strong businesswoman, but when it came to her children, her maternal love ran deep, leading her to tolerate them

On the surface, Sara wa endlessly.

No matter how hopeless Ashley seemed, she was still

someone Sara had carried for nine months and raised since childhood.

It was not easy for her to let go. However, Patrick wouldn't let that happen

After all this, he realized that Ashley was the main factor that made the Harvey family restless. He swore to never let her come back as long as he was around

Just then, two familiar figures suddenly appeared.

Sara thought she was seeing things, but when she saw clearly, she couldn't help but call out, "Selina?"

Selina had just finished lunch with Lydia and was strolling through the nearby park for a leisure walk and enjoying the sun. They were also chatting about the latest gossip regarding Ashley, She didn't expect to run into Sara and Patrick.
