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.

Ashley never imagined she would mistake the mission target, and worse, the person she misidentified turned out to be Thorian, the very pawn they had been using all along.

Her mind was a chaotic mess as she tried to say something. "Benson-"

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.

"You were forced to sleep with another man? Do you think I'm some gullible child who'd believe that?" Benson let out a cold, biting laugh, his disbelief etched into every word.

Ashley shook her head. "Believe me. Lord Robert ordered me to carry out a task, so I went to the Imperial Mansion today. He wanted to threaten someone and instructed me to capture compromising footage of that person.

Robert didn't tell me who the target was. He only described his appearance. Thorian's outfit matched the description perfectly, so
