Chapter 122 Poisoned the Drinks
"Can't you just say it right? What do you mean by 'damn woman'? Do you think I won't tell Ethan what you said?"
Ashley felt uneasy about Ivy's earlier comment but decided to keep the peace. Samantha, however, couldn't hold back.
"Who do you think you are, yelling at me in my house?"
"I'm Ashley's friend. Don't mess with her, or you'll deal with me!"
"Samantha, stop."
Ashley shot her a look, and Samantha stomped her foot in frustration.
Ivy's eyes flickered. "Ashley, I was wrong earlier. You won't tell Ethan, right?"
"Mom, it's fine. I won't tell him. Who wants to see me?"
"Landon and Liam are here. Let's go."
"Okay."
They headed to the living room where Liam, Landon, and Felicity were waiting.
Ashley noticed Felicity eyeing Landon. She raised an eyebrow.
'Isn't she into Ethan? Why's she looking at Landon like that?'
Liam stepped forward. "Ashley, how are you? Are your hands and feet still hurting?"
Landon added, "Ashley, muscle and bone injuries can linger. We brought supplements; take them on time."
Ashley felt warm and comforted by their concern.
"Thanks, guys. Let's sit and chat."
"Sure."
The brothers sat on the couch with Ashley between them.
Liam asked, "Ashley, are you comfortable with the Yates family? If not, we can bring you back to the White family."
Before Ashley could reply, Samantha jumped in. "Yeah, having your own family take care of you is better. Come on, Ashley, say yes and move in with the Whites."
Liam noticed Samantha and was taken aback by her quirky look. He frowned. "Are you saying Ashley isn't being cared for at the Yates'?"
"Of course not!"
Ivy forced a laugh and glared at Samantha. "She's just kidding. We take good care of Ashley. Don't listen to this wild girl."
"I!"
Samantha was about to retort when Ashley said, "Liam, don't worry. I'm doing well here. Let's wait for the DNA report before deciding."
"Didn't Ethan already do a test? It's basically confirmed. Mrs. Yates, Ashley's hands and feet are inconvenient now, so please take extra care of her."
Ivy felt a chill but stayed enthusiastic. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of Ashley."
The maids brought the dishes to the table. Ivy said, "Dinner's ready. Let's eat."
"Landon and Liam, stay and eat with us."
"Alright."
Ivy glanced at Samantha, wanting to send her away. Samantha quickly said, "Ashley can't use her hands properly; I need to feed her."
"Alright, everyone, take your seats."
Felicity, who had been silent, asked, "Aunt, where's Mr. Yates? Why isn't he back yet?"
"He's on his way. Let's start eating."
They moved to the dining room. Ivy gave Felicity a look, and Felicity's eyes flashed with mischief. She sneaked into the kitchen and sprinkled some powder into the drinks.
Just as she finished and stepped out, Ethan walked into the dining room.
"Honey, I'm back..."
