1211 Enlightenment

Peter, what nonsense are you saying?

When did I ever force you to marry me and sever ties with that woman? Back then, you were clearly the one who pursued me and did nice things for me every day. I I was blind to have believed you and married a despicable and shameless man like you!

Ive never done any of those things you said! Youre just somewhat good-looking, but you dont come from a wealthy family, and you have no real skills. If you didnt do everything to please me, I wouldnt have noticed you!

Hmph, to put it bluntly, Im the esteemed heiress of the Williams, and I can get any man I want. Why would I force a good-for-nothing like you to marry me?

!!

Vanessa was an heiress who was spoiled since she was a child. After hearing Peters shameless remarks, she was full of regret and anger. She pointed a trembling finger at Peter.

She never thought that her husband, who had always been compliant toward her and had dropped his facade tonight, would turn out to be such an abhorrent man!

She must have been blind to fall in love with this man. She thought she had found a gem, but it was actually a piece of tras.h.!.+

Peter shuddered guilty, but he soon raised his head and continued to say to Ashley devotedly, Ashley, please dont believe that womans nonsense. If she didnt come in between us and sow discord, we would have long gotten married, and I wouldnt have made you sad for so many years

I swear I will treat you well in the future and never make you sad again!

Ashley stared at the man pretending to be a devoted lover and felt that he looked absolutely disgusting.

She was no longer the gullible girl who believed in anything for love. Peter had to be dreaming if he thought he would be able to fool her with some sweet nothings.

Ashley retracted her calf from Peters hands and said gently, Peter.

Ashley! Peter immediately looked joyful when he heard her call his name.

He was confident that Ashley would definitely return to him since she loved him so much that she had attempted suicide for him.

As long as Ashley agreed to be with him again, Lucas definitely wouldnt be able to do anything to him. On the contrary, he might even be able to rely on Lucass power to get what he wanted.

Authority, wealth, and status

Ive finally realized that youre just a shameless sc.u.mbag. Youre absolutely revolting!

Just as Peter smiled smugly and thought delusionally about how he would gain power and status from Ashley and Lucas, he suddenly heard what Ashley said.

In an instant, Peters expression stiffened.

Ashley glanced at Peter in disgust and said to Lucas, Lucas, I wont let him deceive me again. You can do whatever you want with him.

Lucas glanced at Ashley and saw the determination in her eyes, which were devoid of anxiousness or hesitation.

Lucas knew that Ashley had really completely gotten over Peter, her ex-fianc, and would no longer be sad because of this sc.u.mbag.

In that case, his efforts and time tonight werent wasted.

Peter was on the brink of fainting.

He didnt expect Ashley, whom he could easily manipulate before, would actually speak to him that way, lose all trust in him, and find him disgusting.

While feeling incredibly furious, Peter also felt indescribable fear and panic.

The only thing he could rely on now was Ashleys feelings for him in the past. But how could she possibly still be in love with him? He was revolting to her.

If Ashley really had no feelings for him, what what could he rely on now?

No, Ashley, you must believe me. Everything I just said is true. Youve always been the only one I love! How how can you not trust me?

Have you really forgotten the time when we were in love? I

Shut up!

Peter was still trying to play the emotional card, but Lucas shouted at him coldly. If you dare to make another disgusting remark and pester Ashley, I will send you on your way to death!

Peter shuddered violently. He knew that Lucas could definitely do what he said. He didnt dare to continue begging Ashley anymore.

However, he couldnt accept dying just like that. He frantically turned to Lucas and begged, Mr. Gray, I indeed offended you because I was a sn.o.b, but I didnt mean it! Please let me off! Even if you dont want me to appear in front of Ashley again, I will agree!

Lucas said coldly, Again? If I really let you off, with your despicable character, you will definitely continue going around shamelessly to flatter wealthy women. Once you find someone more powerful, you wont hesitate to come and take revenge on me.

Peters body instantly stiffened.

Lucas was right. If he managed to find a more powerful family, he would definitely make Lucas pay for the humiliation he suffered a hundredfold!

But when Lucas exposed his thoughts, Peter opened his mouth, at a complete loss for an explanation.

Everyone had turned against Peter, leaving him with no way out at this point.

Vanessa looked at her former lover, and there was no longer any love in her eyes, only disgust and mockery.

Peter, do you really think youre that smart that you can fool everyone with your looks and fake behavior?

Let me tell you. The reason Ashley and I were deceived by you is that we loved you. We blindly believed you, tolerated your behavior, and kept finding excuses for you.

But when we saw your true colors and stopped loving you, your terrible lies and tricks were all so ridiculous! Watching you put in effort for your act is like watching a clown in the circus! Youre utterly pathetic!

While speaking, Vanessa couldnt help tearing up.

If she didnt love Peter, she wouldnt have married him despite his humble background. It wasnt until now that she realized how awful he really was.

She was not only mocking him but also herself for her stupidity.

Ashley felt sympathetic and sad for Vanessa.

They were in the same boat. They had both been deceived by this sc.u.mbag Peter.

Ashley could empathize with Vanessas current feelings.

At the same time, she felt lucky and thankful.

She was glad that her brother and mother had rescued her from her suicide attempts. Otherwise, she wouldnt have had the chance to be alive and see Peters true colors.

She was also glad that Lucas had brought her here to see Peters true colors. Otherwise, she would have still been fooled until her death!

Rayson said with anguish, Mr. Gray, my daughter knows her mistakes now. Please spare her and give her a chance to turn over a new leaf!

If youre willing to give her another chance, I am willing to lead the Williams to pledge allegiance to you!
