Chapter 172

Only taking one glance at Miranda’s pained and sorrowful expression, Ashley felt a pang of heartache.

Ashley quickly approached her. “Did Ryan do anything to you?”

No. Miranda’s lips turned white as she struggled to hold back tears. “I just talked to Ryan, and we decided never to contact each other again. We’re… We’re going to act like we never knew each other.”

“Miranda, you know, actually…” Ashley felt uneasy. She reached out and gently wiped away the tears in the corner of Miranda’s eyes. “If you still have feelings for him…”

Why does he treat a stranger better than his own family? If only Ryan had treated Ashley well, I wouldn’t have been so repulsed by him…

Meanwhile, Ryan, watching Ashley and Miranda embracing, furrowed his brows deeply.
