A Love Trap

Chapter 325 Don't Get Too Excited

However, she didn't do anything to try and stop them.

Lena didn't know that the decision she made of not stopping them would totally ruin her life.

Even if she wanted to stop them, there was nothing she could do at this point.

"Miss Mu, can you please tell me why you have blocked my way?"

Ashley's calm voice could be heard coming from the recording. It was obvious that she was talking to Lena.

Lena's face contorted as she heard the first voice from the recording.

A feeling of dread swept over her, and she began to tremble with fear. She didn't have the audacity to let Raymond hear and discover what sort of monster she really was. Lena leaped out of bed and was about to run to Ashley. She screamed in a panic, "Turn it off! Turn it off!"

Raymond frowned, feeling a bit confused about what Ashley was trying to do when he heard the beginning of the recording.

However, when he saw how panic-stricken Lena was, he assumed it was Ashley's new way of hurting Lena. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

He held her tightly in his arms and stroked her hair soothingly. "Lena, what's wrong? Don't be afraid! If you don't want them here, I'll get them to leave. Okay?"

She hid her face in his arms and started to sob, "Raymond, I don't feel good. My stomach is hurting. Can you get them to go?"

No one could see how frightened and evil her face looked.

She didn't know where Ashley got the recording from. Until she suddenly realized that Ashley had secretly recorded their conversation on that day.

Everything had fallen into place now, and her confusion had cleared up. 'No wonder Ashley was so calm about the media's false accusations.

Ashley already had hard evidence to prove her innocence.

'I can't... I won't allow Ashley to show it to everyone! I have to stop her.

Or she'll ruin my life completely!'

Knowing how horrific the outcome of the recording could turn out for her, Lena shook uncontrollably in Raymond's arms.

Lena's dramatic reaction made Ashley have to call a stop on the continuous playing of the recording.

It was beyond Ashley's expectations that Lena would react like that.

However, Ashley was here to clear her name. She wasn't going to just leave like this.

Ashley couldn't care less about her. She would never frame Lena for anything. She wasn't that type of person to do something like that.

However, when she saw her terrified look after hearing the recording, Ashley couldn't help but laugh inside. Ashley felt really good. It was the feeling of sweet revenge.

Raymond glared at Ashley and growled, "Ashley, what else do you want? Can't you see how scared Lena is right now?"

Ashley retorted, "What did I do? You were here, did you see me lay a finger on her? Please don't rush to any conclusions. Trust me. You'll be very interested to hear the rest of the conversation in this

recording. Once you hear it all, you'll be shocked and surprised!"

Ashley spoke with malice in her voice.

There was no way that she was going to forgive Lena for what she had done to her. She was already kinder than Lena had deserved.

Upon hearing Ashley's words, Lena clutched onto Raymond's shirt even tighter. She was really terrified now.

Raymond didn't know anything. He just felt sorrier for Lena.

Lena pleaded, "Raymond, can you please make them go? My stomach is really hurting me..."

Before Raymond could say anything, Ashley said to Johnny, "Johnny, can you please go outside and find a doctor for Miss Mu?"

Johnny already knew what an evil person Lena was. However, many people still didn't know. All Lena was doing right now was pointless. She was just anxious to put it off for as long as possible.

As hard as Lena was trying to put it off, it was only a matter of time before everyone would see her true nature.

Johnny replied, "Of course, Miss Mu."

He was a person with high social status, and a doctor immediately followed Johnny into the room shortly after.

The doctor wondered in her head what the daughter of the Mu family had to do with the Lu Group.

She was a woman in her forties and looked very nice. Lena's face was pale, and she was holding onto her stomach in pain. When the doctor saw how much pain Lena was in, she felt sorry for her.

The doctor sympathized with Lena, who had a miscarriage at such a young age.

She thoroughly examined her body and said to Raymond, "She's okay. She just needs to be more careful about what she eats. She shouldn't eat overly spicy foods and don't let her get too excited." Then, she looked at Lena, she continued, "Young lady, you'll be fine. You'll have a baby again in the future. Don't worry too much."

Raymond, who was standing by the door, was still worried about Lena.

Looking at Lena, who was still in pain, Raymond asked, "Is she really okay, doctor? She looks like she's in severe pain."

Lena's paled face wasn't caused by pain. It was all because of fear.

The doctor didn't like to be doubted by others. She replied, "Of course I'm sure. If you don't believe me, you can take her for a full body examination."

Johnny approached the doctor and said a few words to her. Then, she left.

Raymond was about to go back to Lena's bedside. However, Ashley stopped him.

The smile Raymond usual had on his face was completely gone. He looked at Ashley angrily. Ashley didn't explain herself. She just looked at him calmly and said, "I'll go watch her. You should stay here. Don't worry. I won't do anything to her. I just want you to hear something for yourself."

Knowing what Ashley was about to do, Lena's body couldn't help but shake. She gave Raymond a hopeless look and whimpered, "Raymond..."

Ashley was looking at Raymond too. Her eyes showed her insistence.

Raymond had a look at Ashley. Then, he looked at Lena and said, "Lena, don't worry. It'll be just a little while longer for Ashley to be here. She won't do anything to you, I promise. I'll watch her from here."

Upon hearing that, Lena almost bit her lips off. Her fear was all because he was in the room with her. He was about to hear something so horrific that it would change his life forever.

Ashley nodded her head to signal Shea to continue playing the recording.

She didn't have to stay by Lena's bedside. However, she really wanted to see Lena's expression when her true face is shown to the public.

Ashley suddenly felt how evil she was right now.

She coughed to cover her feelings.

Then, she walked to Lena's bedside.

The room fell into silence once again. The recording continued.

"Do you really want to know why? Don't worry. You'll know why very soon. I have prepared a big present for you. It's a present that you'll never forget for the rest of your life," a woman said.

After a moment of pause, she continued, "To be honest with you, I'm carrying Raymond's baby right now." Her voice sounded complacent.

Everyone knew who the woman was. It was Lena.

Lena's voice on the recording sounded different from her usual voice. Lena always used a soft, weak voice when she spoke in public. However, now, it was arrogant and complacent. Her voice made people think of a mean and sinister person.

Upon hearing her voice from the recording, Lena's face turned red. Trying to get off the bed, she screamed, "Turn it off! Turn it off now! I told you to turn it off!"

She was screaming at Shea like a crazy woman.

However, Shea ignored her. He would only turn it off if Ashley told him to. Since Raymond was standing near Shea, Lena's screaming in the background didn't block the voices coming from the speaker. Ashley told Shea to turn up the volume on the speaker before they walked in. She knew that Lena might try to smother the voices from the recording with her screams.

It seemed that Ashley was right.

She held Lena in the bed and said gently, "Don't get too excited. Didn't you hear what the doctor just said? She told you to stay calm. You just need to sit there and listen."
