Chapter 126 Confrontation
Ashley asked, "This is mine and Ethan's room. How did you get in?"
The sudden situation threw Ashley's emotions into chaos. She trusted Ethan, but the bloodstains on Felicity's thigh made her doubt.
She felt awful.
Felicity sobbed, "I don't know... I had a bit to drink last night, got up for water, and maybe I went into the wrong room. Maybe Mr. Yates mistook me for you..."
Ashley bit her lip, her eyes turning cold.
Ethan looked serious. "Honey, you have to believe me; I didn't touch her."
"Even if we were both asleep, how could someone walk in without us noticing? How could I possibly sleep with her while asleep?"
Ashley nodded, sensing something was off.
"I just heard screams from Landon's room. Could something have happened there?"
"Let's go check it out!"
Ethan stood up, glared at Felicity, and said, "I need to help my wife get dressed; please leave!"
Felicity ran out crying.
Ethan quickly dressed and helped Ashley freshen up.
He was exceptionally gentle and attentive.
"Ashley, let me wash your face."
Ashley smiled, "Thank you."
He gently wiped her face with a soft towel. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Ashley, I forgot to brush your teeth first. Let's start over!"
Ashley laughed. "Ethan, you should call a maid."
Ethan's eyes dimmed. "Honey, are you rejecting me?"
Ashley looked surprised.
He was so good to her; how could she reject him? That would be ungrateful.
"Do you not believe me about Felicity?"
Ashley said, "Of course I do. It's clear something's off. We'll investigate and find out the truth."
Ethan sighed in relief.
"Honey, thank you for trusting me. I'll call a maid to take care of you."
He kissed her forehead.
Ashley watched Ethan leave, her gentle gaze turning cold.
She trusted Ethan, but... even if they were framed, Felicity was in their bed and had lost her virginity!
Thinking about this gave Ashley a headache.
More than half an hour later...
The maid had tidied up Ashley and pushed her wheelchair into the living room. As soon as they entered, they heard Ivy say, "Felicity, stop crying. This is Ethan's fault, and he will take responsibility."
"Ethan, no matter the reason, you should take responsibility for her!"
Ethan's face turned livid, and he looked at her coldly. "Mom, did you and she conspire to have her sneak in the master bedroom last night? Do you hate seeing me happy so much that you have to sabotage it?"
It wasn't hard to understand. Ivy didn't like him, so she might have planned to stir up trouble between him and his wife. It wasn't impossible!
"Ethan, how can you say that about me? How could I harm my own son?" Ivy defended herself.
"If that's the case, let's call the police and let them investigate this!"
Ethan believed he had nothing to hide!
Ivy panicked at the mention of calling the police. "Ethan, it's easy for you to say, but what about their reputation?"
"If you're so afraid of me calling the police, doesn't that prove you did it?"
Ethan's whole body exuded a chilling aura; his presence was overwhelming and oppressive!
Ivy's eyes darted around, feeling guilty and unsure of how to get out of this, when Samantha spoke up, "Mr. Yates, you say it was your mom's doing, but what about me? Why was I in his room last night, and... and... I slept with him... Your mom might dislike Ashley, but I have no grudge against her. Why would she harm me?"
Samantha pointed at Landon, looking furious.
Ashley, hiding in the corner, had the maid push her out. She anxiously said, "Samantha, you mean last night you and Landon..."
Ashley's throat choked up. If she hadn't asked her to come yesterday, this wouldn't have happened...
Ashley felt deeply guilty.
"Ashley, I don't know either. When I woke up, I found Landon lying beside me... and I wasn't wearing any clothes, and there were bloodstains on the bed! I..."
By the end, she couldn't help but cry.
Liam, who had been silent, felt a knot in his heart upon hearing her words.
And Ashley felt even more guilty.
Landon rubbed his face, looking annoyed. "Why are you crying? I didn't say I wouldn't take responsibility!"
"How are you going to take responsibility?"
Felicity's heart pounded in her chest, a silent scream trapped inside. If Landon wanted to marry Samantha, she wouldn't let it happen.
Landon said, "How much money do you want? As long as it's reasonable, I'll give it to you!"
"You..."
Samantha was furious. "If it weren't for Ashley, I'd really want to slap you!"
