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.
When she met his repulsive gaze, she felt anger and hurt rush through her veins.
'What do they take me for, an emotionless puppet that they can do whatever they like to me?
Well, who cares anyway. After this Saturday, ties will be severed and I don't have to come back to this annoying house anymore.
And when that time comes, I will never ever come back even if they beg me on their knees to return, ' she furiously thought.
Ashley then walked out of the house to get some air. She suddenly strode towards a tree and gave it an angry kick.
She had no feelings for the Mu family anyway, especially that Peggy, who had always treated her as an enemy. Leaving them would truly be the best decision.

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.
However, there was one person in the Mu family who had been very nice to her.
It was none other than Peggy's son. Thinking about her kind foster brother brought sadness to her heart.
