Chapter 570 The Excuse

"Bitch, even now, you won't admit your mistake. Thorian went to the Imperial Mansion today to trap Raven, planning to get close to her and steal the communication chip she carries. But you drugged him and dragged him into the next room. Do you have any idea what you've done? Because of you, the chip is gone, and our chance to enter the upper realm is ruined- all thanks to your reckless stupidity," roared Benson.

Listening to Benson's furious accusations, Ashley finally grasped just how absurd and disastrous everything that had unfolded at the Imperial Mansion truly was.

She stepped forward, trying to grab Benson's arm, but he yanked his arm back, his face twisting in disgust as if her touch burned him. "Don't touch me. You're filthy."

"No, Benson, please listen to me. I didn't seduce Thorian. I'm with you, aren't I? Why would I even like another man? I was forced into this. I didn't have a choice," Ashley sobbed.
