A Love Trap

Chapter 159 The Most Ridiculous Joke

Ashley didn't want to interact with the wealthy ladies, so she decided to leave the party after she got the clothes from Johnny.

"What did she say? Will she come here?" asked the girls, who were standing next to Lena.

The girl who had talked to Ashley on the phone shook her head and said, "She said she doesn't have time and then got off the phone."

"Lena, do you really have an elder sister? I don't remember you told me that!" one girl questioned, staring directly at Lena.

Lena felt a little embarrassed and responded with a smile, "She was adopted by my parents when she was a child. Since she has always kept a low profile, it is natural that you've never seen or heard of her before."

"Oh wow! She was just adopted? But why do you still treat her so well?"

"Well, you know - we have spent more than a decade together. I've already thought of her as my own sister, flesh and blood."

"Then what should we do? Since she refused to come here, I'm sure that she's the one who has Lena's ring. I really think she stole it from you!" Teresa said, her eyes widening as she connected all the dots.

"But what if she's just really busy?" one girl said, her face doubtful of what Teresa just said.

"Hey, look, look. Is that your sister?" Another girl suddenly asked Lena, pointing at Ashley.

As they were all talking earlier, Lena had told them what Ashley looked like and what she was wearing that day. Also, since most of them had seen Lena and Ashley talk to each other a while ago, they could already recognize Ashley.

Lena turned around and saw Ashley in her long dress, sitting in the corner. "Yes, that's right. That is my sister," she said, her voice trailing off.

"You know what?" one girl said, malice obvious in her voice. "Since she's here, let's go up to her and ask her if she took your ring." Everyone in the group agreed.
