Chapter 2 He Really Betrayed Her

She might have already forgotten their meeting.

He had been waiting for her to bring up the cooperation. Only in this way could he give her the best interests and everything she wanted.

But she didn't expect that all her requests were related to Jake’s group.

Did she... Didn't she remember him at all? He turned around and was about to leave.

Ashley came to his senses and greeted, "Mr. Lucas!"

"What's the matter?"

Lucas stopped.

Biting her lower lip, she looked at the man's face with a little embarrassment. "Excuse me... Can you help me find my glasses?"

Lucas didn't respond.

The woman in front of him had a slightly red face and a pair of beautiful upturned eyes. However, she did not focus her eyes, and the person she wanted to see was not him.

When he came back from abroad, he found that Ashley had been married.

Thinking of the past, he thought it was a little ridiculous, so he came forward and took her glasses.

"Thank you."

Ashley reached out to take it, and her fingertips just touched the man's rough fingertips. She was frightened and immediately took them back.

Lucas raised his eyebrows but said nothing in the end. He walked towards the banquet hall.

Ashley was stunned. After a while, she put on her glasses and followed him.

"Mr. Jake is talented. He has helped his group develop again in just a few years."

"This must be Mrs. Jake. They two are a perfect match."

"I've heard that Mrs. Jake helped Mr. Jake manage the company in an orderly way. Today I see her. She is outstanding."

As soon as she returned to the banquet hall, she saw a man and a woman surrounded by several people from a distance.

The handsome man was in a suit, and the woman next to him was as smooth as milk, with a gentle smile on her face. At first glance, they looked like a couple.

Unfortunately, that man was her husband, Mr. Jake.

The compliments from others made him smile all the time. Kate was a little shy and said politely. The two looked at each other occasionally.

Ashley felt a sting in his heart. She quickly walked over to the waiter and took a glass of wine.

"Honey, you are here."

Ashley said with a smile.

Seeing her, Kate loosened her hand in a hurry and asked in a spoiled tone, "Mrs. Ashley, why are you so late?"

"Are you tired?"

Mr. Jake also took the wine glass from her hand thoughtfully and asked carefully.

"So this is Mrs. Jake. I'm so sorry."

The people who had just regarded Kate as Mrs. Jake immediately reacted, but a few people with sharp eyes changed their faces and saw something wrong.

Ashley greeted them with a smile. She remembered every boss's name. "Mr. Ye, Mr. Liu, I apologize for being so awkward tonight."

Jack put his soft arms around her waist with eyes full and said, "Well, you're tired today. Don't drink."

It seemed that he looked like the perfect husband.

"Mr. Jake and Mrs. Jake love each other so much."

"Yes, it's enviable."

Hearing others' words, Ashley took a look at Kate, who had a bad expression on her face, and a hint of mockery flashed through her heart. She leaned against Mr. Jake and asked, "Will you help me drink this glass of wine?"

"Of course I can," said Mr. Jake with a smile, drinking up the wine.

The crowd hooted again.

"Ah!" Kate was pushed by someone suddenly and the wine in her hand spilled over her dress.

"Kate!"

Mr. Jake immediately let go of Ashley and went to support her.

With a complacent look on her face, Kate said in a pitiful tone, "I'm so sorry, Ashley. I have to change my dress now. The dress I changed is still in your car. Can he go with me? Jake."

Although Kate looked weak, Ashley still saw a flash of provocation in her eyes. Today's photo must be sent to her on purpose by Kate, and she deliberately wore a strapless dress to let her see the mole.

What about Jake?

Her heart ached. She wondered if Jake had teamed up with Kate to let her know about it on purpose.

Did he want to force her to divorce?

Mr. Jake still looked like a good husband. "Ashley, I'll take Kate to change her clothes. Please help me entertain Mr. Lucas and others here."

"Okay, I know." She was full of bitterness, and even her smile became strenuous.

She chatted with several CEOs, thinking about those photos.

Did Mr. Jake and Kate treat her so cruelly?

The pain in her heart became more and more intense. She couldn't help but follow him subconsciously to the parking lot.

"Mrs. Ashley, are you going out?"

The elevator door opened. Before she could react, she suddenly heard someone calling her.

She came back to her senses and saw Lucas and his secretary in the elevator. It was the secretary who called her just now.

Standing next to her, he looked cold and emotionless.

"Yes, I have to go out for a while."

She glanced at him and walked up awkwardly.

The atmosphere in the elevator was depressing. Ashley took out her phone and looked at it several times.

It took a long time to go from upstairs to the hall on the first floor. Behind her stood a man with a strong aura. The man's exclusive smell of cold cologne floated over.

Finally, they arrived. Ashley walked out quickly.

As soon as she took a step forward, the man behind her suddenly called her, "Mrs. Ashley."

"What's up, Mr. Lucas?" asked Ashley, who stopped and turned around.

"If there is anything wrong with the project, Mrs. Ashley can bring it up at any time," he added.

To her surprise, she thought he doubted her working attitude because of what happened tonight, so she said seriously, "Mr. Lucas, please rest assured that there will be no mistake in the project."

Lucas pursed his lips and said sarcastically, "You'd better." After all, she couldn't hide what had happened at the party, but she wanted to hold on.

As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator door just closed.

Ashley stood there in a daze for a moment and didn't understand what his smile meant, but she didn't think too much and walked out quickly.

The temperature outside was lower, and a gust of cold wind blew, making her legs tremble.

Soon, she saw Jake's car parking outside.

Before she approached, she vaguely heard the depressing voice of a man and a woman in the car.

All of a sudden, Ashley was stunned.

The car was shaking slightly, and the intermittent sound fell into her ears.

The back window of the car was covered with mist because of the temperature difference. Suddenly, a slender handprint of a woman was imprinted on the window, bringing endless ambiguity.

It turned out to be true!

In the bar, Ashley drank one glass after another, but what she saw just now kept flashing through his mind.

Mr. Jake betrayed her.

"Ashley, I like you. I like you. Let's get married!"

"It doesn't matter, honey. We don't need to have a baby. You are always the one I love most."

Liar!

All these were fake!

Her eyes became blurry and she couldn't tell if it was because of tears or something else. Ashley felt that her heart was cut by a knife again and again, and the pain was unbearable.

They had been married for six years. It turned out that they were all fake!

Jake... Why did he do this to her?
