Chapter 553 The Woman Who Was PUAed by Her Husband
Sean proactively explained, "Sophie, don't misunderstand, Ashley and I are just good friends."
He said that, but how could Sophie not overthink it?
Ordinary friends, with such gentle and passionate eyes?
Samantha wanted to text Damian to report, but for the sake of Damian's health, she held back.
Ashley specifically said, "Samantha, you stay home to take care of Natalia and make sure she takes her medicine."
"Okay, Ms. Astor."
Sean nodded at her, "I'll take good care of her."
Samantha sniffled, "Understood."
It had to be said, Sean was very polite, gentlemanly, elegant, humble, and handsome.
He possessed all the qualities a successful person should have, without any flashy flaws.
Damian, could he really lose?
Sean drove, and Ashley sat in the back, half sitting, half leaning.
Seeing her through the rearview mirror, Sean couldn't help but laugh, "I never thought I'd have the chance to see Ms. Astor like this, it's eye-opening."
"Watch the road, don't look at me."
Sean laughed even more heartily, "Okay, I'll watch the road, not you, don't be shy."
Half an hour later, they reached their destination.
A high-rise apartment in the city center.
Sean protected Ashley, standing in front of her, "In a moment, stand behind me, in case she gets angry and throws something."
Ashley felt a sense of security as she looked at Sean's tall and broad back, with a faint, warm fragrance emanating from his clothes.
"She probably won't, besides, we're lawyers. If she dares to get physical, we have the upper hand."
Sean smiled, "You're right."
But he didn't want to take any chances; he wanted absolute safety.
The doorbell rang for a while before the person inside finally came.
Seeing Sean, the blonde woman tried to lock the door, but he blocked it, "Hello, Luna Adams, please wait, we just need to talk for a few minutes, it won't take more than five."
Luna looked at them warily, uneasily letting them in, and said in a harsh tone, "Whatever you have to say, say it here. I have to take care of my child, I don't have time for chit-chat."
Her tone was very sharp.
As they entered, they immediately saw a baby lying in a cradle, with long eyelashes, blue eyes, fair skin, and naturally curly blonde hair, looking like a doll.
Ashley sincerely praised, "What a cute baby, if angels exist, they probably look like her."
As a mother, seeing a child always felt especially kind, and the compliment was genuine, not just polite.
Luna didn't appreciate it, still with a sullen face, "What do you want? Hurry up and say it."
Sean said, "You came all the way from Sylvania to Rochester City, which shows you love your husband very much. You are a brave woman, worthy of our admiration."
Luna crossed her arms, her attitude cold and arrogant, "He's my husband, my daughter's father, it's my duty to do anything for him."
"But some men may not be worth such a big sacrifice from a woman." Ashley straightened up, the previous action of leaning close to the baby almost killed her.
"What do you mean?" Luna gritted her teeth.
Ashley said, "Do you and your husband have a good relationship? Since you gave birth to your lovely baby, have you had any intimate contact?"
Luna got angry, "You're invading my privacy, I can sue you!"
Sean was about to speak, but Ashley stopped him and continued, "I'm a woman too, so I can tell if you're truly happy. You're just enduring, while your husband takes for granted the many conveniences you bring him."
A crack finally appeared in Luna's guarded expression, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Ashley opened her bag and took out a document, "Do you know how much your husband's assets are? This is his property list. Three months ago, he started secretly transferring assets. As for what he used them for, I don't know."
Luna, half-believing, took it and looked through it, her eyes suddenly turning red, "How could this be? He wouldn't! He said after the divorce, the property would be split equally, my share wouldn't be less!"
Ashley was surprised, "You're getting a divorce? I thought you had a good relationship. Why would you get a divorce?"
Luna realized she misspoke and quickly said, "No, I mean hypothetically."
Ashley didn't expose her, "You're a full-time housewife with no income, while he has billions in assets. How could he be willing to give you half? Moreover, your husband has a close female friend who often appears in public with him."
Then, Ashley opened Sean's briefcase and took out some photos he had prepared in advance, "These are some of their photos, all from luxurious parties and high-society events. Your husband and she appear together very frequently."
Luna looked at the exquisite and beautiful party scenes, clenching her fists in pain, tears streaming down.
Sean handed her a few tissues, speaking gently, "Luna, your husband has long been unfaithful and intends to marry the girl in the photos. The assets he transferred, most of them are in her name. If it weren't for this sudden incident, he would have smoothly obtained a windfall and given it all to his girlfriend. Soon, it would be their wedding, and you would only get a small portion of the assets. As for your lovely daughter, whom you cherish, he sees her as a burden and doesn't want to raise her."
Ashley looked at the nearly collapsing Luna, feeling compassion, but had to continue, "He broke the law, and according to our laws, he will face about ten years in prison and be stripped of his illegal gains. He coaxed you to come here to gain sympathy, but have you thought about it? Even if you win the case, he won't come back to you."
Ashley gently held Luna's trembling shoulders, "You're still young and beautiful, you can have a better life. All you need to do is stay away from this scumbag and let him face the consequences of his greed."
"No! I love him! No matter what, I love him! He promised me, as long as we win, he will never divorce me, he will love me forever!" Luna was emotional, crying her heart out.
Luna was probably brainwashed by her husband, completely losing herself.
Ashley had anticipated this possibility, so she was prepared, speaking slowly and earnestly, "Do you want him to always keep his status as your husband, or do you want him to be free and go back to another woman's arms? His new girlfriend is young and beautiful, and she seems very scheming. Can you win against her?"
Luna was stunned, "What are you trying to say?"
