Chapter 35 Deception

"How is she today?"

When Bruce went downstairs, he happened to meet Lucas who had just come back from work. Lucas stopped him and asked.

"The same as before, but she already had subtle reactions. I think it's a good thing."

"Thank you."

Lucas nodded. It was good that it worked. He didn't want Ashley to go on like this.

"It's my duty to do things with money. But I still have to remind you that even if she comes out of this shadow, her situation will be more serious if she is stimulated in the future. So you should be more careful."

After he finished his words, Lucas was stunned. "Well, I won't let the tragedy happen again."

"I got it. Thank you."

"I have something to tell you. I agreed to help you not only for your payment but also for your wife's good friend. I'm waiting for her to help me."

As he spoke, he walked out and waved his hand, indicating that the servant didn't need to see him off.

The sky outside gradually darkened. Lucas went upstairs and found that Ashley was sitting by the window and looking at the scenery outside motionlessly. He hesitated for a long time and finally did not step in. Let her be alone for a while.

He went downstairs and asked the servant to take good care of Ashley. He would be very busy.

After beating up Jake in the hospital that day, he felt that he had to put the matter of destroying the Jake group on the agenda as soon as possible. After Ashley left the Jake group, the company had declined greatly. The project she had been responsible for had now been transferred to Jake.

As Jake was not familiar with the business, he used to rely on Ashley. And to snare her, he had to fill many traps in the project by himself. Therefore, Lucas was waiting for the last straw to crush the camel!

Bruce came every day in the past, but he didn't come today. While Ashley was staying in her room, a servant suddenly knocked on the door.

"Mrs. Ashley, someone is looking for you outside."

Her eyes moved, but she didn't say anything. She stood up and went downstairs. Unexpectedly, she saw Kate looking around in the living room.

Why did this woman come here! Ashley's eyes widened when she saw Kate. She grabbed the handrail tightly.

Hearing the noise, Kate looked up and greeted without any burden when she saw Ashley.

"Long time no see, Ashley."

Seeing it was her, Ashley turned around and was about to go back to her room. She waved her hand to ask the servant to drive Kate out.

But someone's shameless behavior was going to change her cognition. Kate shouted downstairs.

"Ashley, I think we should have a good talk. More than half a year has passed, and there are some things that have been hidden in my heart. I want to tell you."

She wanted to say something, but Ashley didn't want to hear it. She turned around and went upstairs without looking back.

Kate squinted her eyes, fastened her bag, and ran up the stairs. If the servant hadn't stopped her, she would have run upstairs.

"Miss Kate, please wait."

Her eyes flashed and she continued, "Don't you want to listen to me? I know something about your dead child."

Speaking of the baby, Ashley couldn't stand it anymore. When she turned around, her eyes were red. She stared at Kate and spoke unexpectedly.

"What do you want to say?"

Kate took a look at the servant beside her. Ashley's fingernails were almost stuck into her flesh. The miscarriage of the baby was a psychological pain for her. If Kate knew something, she would ask her clearly, so she waved her hand and let the servant go downstairs.

"Mrs. Lucas, Mr. Lucas told me not to leave. You..."

"I won't leave home. Just do your own business."

The servant didn't want to leave her, but Ashley kept asking her to leave, so she had to leave first.

Kate raised her chin and glanced at her. In the past half a year, she had changed a lot, both in appearance and other aspects.

"My car is just outside. Let's talk in the car. Everyone will know if we have a talk here."

"Just say it here. I won't go out with you!"

Ashley kept an eye on Kate. It was strange that she came to talk about it in person. How could she go out with her foolishly?

"I won't tell you if you don't go to my car, because I'm worried that there will be a risk of being recorded here. What will I do if I get the worst of it?"

She was quite considerate. In the beginning, Ashley didn't say yes to her under any circumstances, but the cause of the baby's death was too tempting for her. Until now, she still didn't believe that her baby would die after it was born!

When they arrived at Kate's car, she locked the door and window, sat on the driver's seat, fastened the seat belt, and started the car.

"What are you doing? Tell me or not!" Ashley was roaring, "This is the Lucas family's house. What the hell do you want to do?"

She slapped the back of the driver's seat heavily.

"I didn't expect that the dead baby is Jake's baby. No wonder he showed a bad attitude to me after he went back. He must be regretting divorcing you. What a loser! He is so anxious about the baby now, but he is the one to blame. But this time, it has nothing to do with me. It's not easy for a newborn baby to die. If there is such a risk, his doctor will have told you earlier. There is someone else behind it. "

As Kate said, she started the car and drove away. Hearing the noise, the servant was so anxious that she couldn't catch up with her. She immediately called Lucas, but no one answered.

"Who the hell is it?"

She slapped the back of the seat as if she was going crazy. Was it like what Kate said? Did someone really do it behind her back? Her child could have been born in this world safely.

"I can't tell you now. I have to take you to see her in person. If you have the guts, just behave yourself. You will know what happened when you get there."

She didn't want to believe it, but the baby's death was like a thorn in her heart, and she slowly calmed down.

The scenery outside was constantly changing. The car drove to an abandoned warehouse. The weather outside was gloomy, and there was a tendency of rain. She didn't know to leave home, so she didn't take her mobile phone with her.

"Here we are. Get off the car."

The car stopped in front of the abandoned warehouse. Ashley followed Kate out of the car and walked in.

There was no one here. It was so empty that she could hear her own echo. She turned around and wanted to ask Kate what she was doing, but the door was closed.

"Kate! What are you doing?"

Suddenly, she was knocked unconscious by a stick and then Julia appeared from the dark.
