A Love Trap

"Well, you've seen me. You can go," said Ashley as she looked resentfully at the hypocrite, Lena. Thinking about what they had done to her. She couldn't be bothered trying to hide her true feelings.

"Ashley, I have come here to visit you. How can you say that to me?" said Lena in a soft voice.

"Who knows what your true intentions are?" answered Ashley coldly.

"Of course I'm here to visit my dear sister," said Lena with a hint of menace in her voice. Then she paused a moment and looked at Ellie.

"Well, since I'm already here. I would also like to say that 'someone' shouldn't call Raymond every time she is in trouble. Raymond is very busy running the Luo Group. He doesn't have time to deal with meaningless tasks. Please don't come to him anymore."

When Lena had finished, she walked out before Ashley and Ellie could say anything to her.

She could tell that she had annoyed them and that gave her a sense of satisfaction.

"Ellie, I'm sorry,"

Ashley knew that Ellie disliked Raymond since then. But she still called him today and Lena had found out. Ellie must be feeling very upset now.

"All right," Ashley yawned.
