A Love Trap

Chapter 22 Nice Job

Ashley was deep in thought.

'I have been standing here ever since I entered the house. No one even had the decency to provide me a place to sit on. Such unfriendly and disrespectful people.'

"Well, you can go back to your apartment.

You and Lena are sisters after all. You should support each other at the office, understand? Stop being mean towards Lena. You are her older sister, and you should be a good example," Spencer lectured in a low, stern voice.

"I understand," Ashley responded dryly.

'I didn't even do anything. Lena started it. How could he blame me with that condescending tone?' she whined inside.

And besides, the Mu family never once treated her fairly.

The only reason that she kept on following their orders all those years was because they kept mentioning to her that she must return their kindness for taking her into the family.
