A Love Trap

Ashley didn't respond. Anything she would say at this point would just sound like she purposely did it to hurt Lena.

Ashley narrowed her eyes as she looked at Lena. She was right—Lena had set up a trap for her.

However, Ashley never touched her ring. There was no way for Lena to frame her for the missing ring.

Ashley didn't react like a thief who got caught in public. She remained calm and said in a stern tone, "I never saw your ring, nor did I take it.

I don't know why you think I took it. There were a lot of people around. When I left, you were still chatting with the others. How would I be able to take your ring off your finger without anyone noticing? If you think I am the one, show me some proof!

Just because I was adopted by the Mu family, it doesn't mean you can defame me. You are the host and the daughter of the Mu family. Do you think it's okay to blame me for the things I have never done?"

Ashley looked Lena straight in the eye. She wasn't afraid at all. Her eyes were so fearless and honest that people started to give her the benefit of the doubt.

None of these people knew Ashley well. They were just misled by the information Lena planted in their heads.

Now, Ashley had revealed the facts, and people started to look at the situation objectively. After they heard both sides of the story, it was easy to see that Lena's version was filled with loopholes.

Lena had told everyone that the last time she had her ring was when she was with her sister. After she turned around, her sister and her ring were gone.

However, Ashley told a completely different story. In her version, there were a lot of people around when she left Lena.

But none of those people was present right now to corroborate her story. People couldn't tell who was telling the truth.

Lena's friends, who had promised to get her ring back, kept quiet. Lena stared at Ashley gloomily.
