Take Her In As Your Apprentice

"I didn't expect for you to be such type of person," after everything settled, Simon knocked on the door and talked to her. 

"What type?" she asked looking up from her laptop. 

"Let's say, you are a very cruel person," he answered. 

"If being cruel is the only way for the lesson to really remain in her, then I would be willing to become the evil sister-in-law." 

Simon just stared at her. 

"Her family is kind towards their kin, they can be strict but not to the point of the lessons being implanted on the children. I, who grew up, being strict to myself and on my own couldn't do what they can." 

"If their lesson is through kindness then I am willing to teach a lesson through cruelty. This would somehow balance us," she said with a sigh and a sad smile. 

Ashley was their princess, this was established to her the moment she first spoke with Ashton.
