A Love Trap

Chapter 311 Became The Most Searched

Ashley was startled. 'Did she really lose the baby?'

Johnny continued, "Lena is also insisting that you are the reason that she lost the baby. Now both the Mu family and the Luo family know about it and said that they were going to press charges against you."

When he finished, he glanced at Andrew. The look that Andrew gave him sent a shiver down his spine, and he held his breath in fear.

Ashley was astonished when she saw Andrew's reaction and stiffened.

She was processing internally what Johnny had just said.

'Lena lost her baby, and she's blaming me for it.''

Ashley had finally understood Lena's scheme. 'Lena wants to frame me and destroy my name. She wants people to believe that I'm such an evil and spiteful person, that I would even attack her unborn baby.'

Johnny interpreted Ashley's astonished expression as freaking out after hearing the shocking news. He felt sorry for her and tried to comfort her, "Miss Mu, don't worry too much. I don't believe that you would have done that. And Mr. Lu won't just sit back and watch something bad happen to you. He'll hire a team of professional lawyers to defend you."

By speaking his mind, Johnny had shown where his loyalty stood. He also buttered the CEO up at the same time by defending his wife.

He stole a glance at Andrew, who had been sitting on the side listening.

The Lu Group had the most competent lawyer team. As long as they took the case, failure was impossible.

But only the CEO could ask the lawyers to take on the case.

Given the CEO's love for Miss Mu, he wouldn't allow anyone to ruin her life.

Ashley drew back her attention, and his encouraging words had warmed her heart. It was a surprise that some people did believe her.

"Thank you very much for believing me, Johnny," said Ashley.

"Sure. We haven't known each other for long, but I do believe you. I don't think you would have done that to Lena and her baby," said Johnny sincerely.

Johnny soon felt the atmosphere in the room getting colder by the minute, and he almost got goose bumps. He sensed the coldness was coming from the CEO, and Andrew's expression confirmed that Johnny was right.

He cleared his dry throat and said, "I have to go and poke around for more information. You can call me if you need anything, Miss Mu."

With that, he swiftly left the room without waiting for anyone's response.

'Argh...the CEO's eyes were horrible.

All I said was that I believed in Miss Mu. Did he need to be so jealous because of that?' thought Johnny, as he made a quick exit from the room.

Ashley smiled with amusement as she watched Johnny hastily leave.

"For what reason did you have to scare Johnny?"

Andrew pursed his lips and replied honestly, "Did you hear the way he spoke to you and what he said?"

"Just because of that?"

"What else could it be?"

Ashley gasped and remained silent. 'He's ridiculously possessive!' thought Ashley to herself.

Neither Andrew nor Ashley was concerned about the threat that Johnny had told them.

She had some damning evidence against Lena. Ashley couldn't wait to see Lena's reaction when she saw the evidence that Ashley had in her possession.

Ashley's rule in life was tit for tat. She would never hurt anybody on purpose. If somebody deliberately tried to hurt her, then she wouldn't be soft on them.

Andrew stroked her soft and smooth black hair. His expression was gentle and affectionate, but anyone who saw his eyes would be startled.

His eyes were cold and malicious, just like the ice at the North Pole.

But it wasn't because of Ashley. It was because of the person who was trying to frame Ashley, and that person was Lena.

Ashley didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer, and she had already taken two days off from work. Now she couldn't ask for a leave again. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

After badgering Andrew for a long time, he finally agreed that she could go back to work. Ashley had to stay in the hospital for a few more days until she had completely recovered.

This wasn't what she wanted, but it was the best that she could get.

However, Ashley was quick to forget what Lena was capable of. The day she returned to work, she found the people in the company were staring at her with contempt in their eyes.

As soon as Ashley made eye contact with them, they would avert their gaze.

Ashley was speechless and wondered, 'What's going on?'

She saw Amaia and was about to greet her. But when she saw Amaia's expression, she was shocked.

Amaia wasn't smiling as she usually did. She looked serious and stiff, which made people nervous.

"What's wrong, Amaia?" asked Ashley.

Amaia pulled her aside as soon as she saw her. Instead of answering her question, she asked hastily in a hushed tone, "Ashley, what has happened? Everyone is saying that you're in love with your sister's fiance. And that you are so jealous of her that you caused her to lose her baby."

Ashley phased out and couldn't completely take in what she said. She stared at Amaia's mouth moving in a trance as if she heard something by mistake.

"What did you say?" Ashley asked.

Amaia looked at her as if she was blaming her for not knowing. 'Why are you still in the dark about this?'

"Don't you know? Check your cell phone. Your name has become the most searched now." 'Why aren't you worried about it?'

Ashley pulled her cell phone out and searched online. There was breaking news about her, and nobody said anything in her favor.

The media described Ashley as being, "a wicked and heartless woman", "as vicious as a viper". "She coveted her sister's fiance and schemed to make her lose her baby".

"She was so merciless and cruel that she even got her claws into her own sister," said the press.

This seemed so familiar to Ashley. She just recalled another scene that was the same as what just happened.

When she was working for the Luo Group, a similar thing happened to her.

Everything was schemed out and executed by no one else but Lena.

She was still the same kind of person who liked to play mean tricks and got what she desired, by hook or by crook.

However, this time, Ashley was wrong about Lena. In fact, when Lena found out about the whole matter, she was furious.

She even broke everything in her ward.

What the heck was going on this time?

Ashley read the comments online and laughed.

Amaia watched her and was shocked by her behavior. She felt like opening her head up to see what was inside.

'How could she possibly laugh at a time like this?'

"Ashley! Why are you laughing? How can you laugh? Look at what they're saying about you! Are you nuts?" asked Amaia.

Ashley stopped laughing and looked at Amaia, who was staring at her disapprovingly and obviously worried. She knew that she was the only one in the company who treated her as a real friend. Her heart melted inside at her loyalty.

She looked at Amaia and asked seriously, "Do you believe me, Amaia?"
