Chapter 141 No Chance to Turn Over

Feigning embarrassment, I said, "Ashley, how can you talk like that? I-I'm already a married woman"

"Zoey, after all the years we've been together, I don't want to live with regrets. Would you rather offer yourself to a stranger? And he's disabled! Who knows if he's even fully functional anymore?" "But this is the Boltons..."

"With how lively it is tonight, no one will pay us any attention."

"I'll consider it," I replied hesitantly.

After speaking, I feigned retreat, glancing back to catch the smug grin spreading across his face.

Hah, so much for genuine love.

If Ashley truly cared for Zoey, he wouldn't betray her like this. He's just unwilling to let go of her physical allure.

I'd bet anything he'll try to manipulate Zoey, turning her into his mistress to satisfy his desires whenever it suits him.

Men like him are absolutely revolting.

But Ashley, if you choose to be so vile, don't expect me to hold back.

I lingered by the entrance for what felt like ages until someone finally appeared.

It was the woman I had seen with Luke after I died-the third daughter of the Hudsons, or Ashley's sister, Alisa.

After my passing, she volunteered at the orphanage, and from behind, her silhouette somewhat resembled mine from before. That's why Luke had mistaken her for me back then. Zoey was somewhat familiar with her. "Alisa."

"Zoey, it's been ages. Why did you get married so suddenly? You're still young: you could've stayed single for a while longer."

"Whether I stayed single or not doesn't really matter, and I'm doing well now, Come in, Alisa-it's freezing out here."

Alisa had a naturally soft and kind aura, but if I wasn't mistaken, there was something distinct in the way she looked at Luke. "Zocy, how are things at the Boltons?"

"Everything's going well. Since I'm the youngest, they all dote on me. Dad even trusted me enough to let me take charge of hosting such an important banquet.

"That explains it, she said, giving me a knowing smile. "You seem to be doing well. It's great to see you've moved past what happened. My brother does owe you an apology, and I think Grandpa values you-he 1/4
