Chapter 299

Both Evan and Bertha thought in shock, ‘Ashley? How… How is this possible?! Why would fate play such a cruel joke on us!”

Evan refused to believe it. He then scanned the whole conference room, looking for any other woman, wondering if Valentin was addressing someone else as his wife.

But after a thorough look, he realized that Ashley was the only woman in the spacious conference room. It then dawned on Evan that Valentin was indeed referring to Ashley.

“How… How can this be? Have we mistaken? Yes, we must have heard it wrong!” Bertha stood there dumbfounded, wide-eyed, and speechless, her face a mix of bewilderment and complexity, even doubting if she and Evan had misheard outside the conference room.

However, the next moment, they heard Joseph casually ask Valentin, “Valentin, were these two eavesdropping on your conversation with your wife just now?”

Evan pondered, ‘Wife? Everyone knows about Joseph and Valentin’s relationship, including me of course. The person Joseph calls Valentin’s wife must be a woman with an extremely formal relationship with Valentin. Before we came in, there were only Ashley and Valentin in this conference room. Joseph just said we were eavesdropping on Valentin’s conversation with his wife, right? So, Joseph was referring to Ashley!!!

Evan’s vision instantly darkened, and he almost fainted right then and there, feeling as if he was losing his mind.

He thought in shock, ‘Ashley and Valentin are married? When did they get married? How could I, as her father, not know about such a big event?

Amidst his chaotic thoughts, Evan suddenly remembered and pondered, “The day Ashley cut ties with the Ramos family and left Ramos Villa, it was the Kingsley family’s car that came to pick her up. I even suspected that Ashley had any connection with the Kingsley family back then. Now, it seems it’s not just a connection with the Kingsley family but a direct relationship with the current head of the Kingsley family, Valentin! No wonder Valentin’s attitude toward Ashley was so extraordinary, completely different from when he was with others… No wonder when Miranda was kidnapped last night, Valentin personally came to Ramos Villa for Ashley. And when I suggested a marriage alliance between
