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!

“I’ve never done any of those things you said! You’re just somewhat good-looking, but you don’t come from a wealthy family, and you have no real skills. If you didn’t do everything to please me, I wouldn’t have noticed you!

“Hmph, to put it bluntly, I’m 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 Peter’s 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 trash!

Peter shuddered guilty, but he soon raised his head and continued to say to Ashley devotedly, “Ashley, please don’t believe that woman’s nonsense. If she didn’t come in between us and sow discord, we would have long gotten married, and I wouldn’t 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 Peter’s 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 wouldn’t be able to do anything to him. On the contrary, he might even be able to rely on Lucas’s power to get what he wanted.

Authority, wealth, and status…

“I’ve finally realized that you’re just a shameless scumbag. You’re 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, Peter’s expression stiffened.

Ashley glanced at Peter in disgust and said to Lucas, “Lucas, I won’t 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-fiancé, and would no longer be sad because of this scumbag.

In that case, his efforts and time tonight weren’t wasted.

Peter was on the brink of fainting.

He didn’t 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 Ashley’s feelings for him in the past. But how could she possibly still be in love with him? He was revolting to her. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

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. You’ve 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 didn’t dare to continue begging Ashley anymore.

However, he couldn’t accept dying just like that. He frantically turned to Lucas and begged, “Mr. Gray, I indeed offended you because I was a snob, but I didn’t mean it! Please let me off! Even if you don’t 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 won’t hesitate to come and take revenge on me.”

Peter’s 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 you’re 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! You’re utterly pathetic!”

While speaking, Vanessa couldn’t help tearing up.

If she didn’t love Peter, she wouldn’t have married him despite his humble background. It wasn’t 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 scumbag Peter.

Ashley could empathize with Vanessa’s 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 wouldn’t have had the chance to be alive and see Peter’s true colors.

She was also glad that Lucas had brought her here to see Peter’s 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 you’re willing to give her another chance, I am willing to lead the Williams to pledge allegiance to you!”
