A Love Trap

Chapter 21 Family

Ashley arrived at the curb and immediately hailed a taxi. She boarded the cab and gave some instructions to the driver. They exited the heavily trafficked downtown and headed towards a tree-lined road. Ashley guided the driver until they had finally reached Splendor Gardens. The driver raised his eyebrow and looked at Ashley curiously when he saw their destination.

The residents of this area were usually business tycoons and social elites. They were wealthy enough to afford their own car and a driver. This made the driver curious about Ashley's status.

Ashley dismissed the driver's inquisitive look. They had arrived in front of the Mus' villa. She got off the car and told the driver to wait for her at the curb. She let out a deep sigh to compose herself and walked towards the villa.

She had to make the driver wait or she wouldn't have a ride back later. The people in the villa wouldn't let her spend the night. It would take her all night just to walk back home.

"Tinkle, tinkle." Ashley pressed the doorbell. She stood in front of the door and waited.

Even though Ashley was an adopted daughter of the Mu family, she was never given a key to the villa.

She only entered the villa when she ran errands for the family or when she was blamed for Lena's misbehaviors. The Mu family didn't really care for Ashley. They wouldn't even be fazed if she was sick or even if she died.

Ashley accepted this fact about the Mu family. She was aware that they didn't love her. The thought that she would leave the Mu family uplifted her spirits.

A few seconds passed by and a servant opened the door. Ashley then walked towards the living room, but to her surprise, a cup almost hit her in the face.

A loud sound echoed in the room as the cup hit the floor and broke into pieces.

Ashley was shocked by what happened. Her furious eyes searched for who threw the cup. It was a few inches from her face and she was grateful that she dodged the assault.

Ashley raised her head and saw Lena. Ashley felt creepy and confused by the pitiful look Lena gave her.

'Why does she look at me with pity?

She is regretful because the cup didn't hit my face?
