Before she did anything, she always anticipated the worst outcome.
She was certain that even if Ashton Heath discovered the truth, he wouldn't really do anything to her.
They shared a relationship of over twenty years.
And there were ties between the Heath family and the Kelloway family too.
No matter what, the consequences wouldn't be too severe.
At worst, he might just be angry for a while.
He couldn't possibly break ties with her over these things, could he?
But now, she wasn't so certain anymore.
She bit her lip, her voice trembling, "Ashton, I, I didn't do it on purpose. I was just too... too jealous of her. I allowed my jealousy to cloud my judgment, and that's why I showed such irrational behavior."
"I didn't really intend to ruin her."
"I just couldn't stand her, didn't want her to lead such a smooth life."
