A Love Trap

Ashley's lips moved slightly, but she didn't reply. Her face was a blank slate, and there was no trace of guilt or anxiety on her. Peggy found Ashley's silence as defiance and that she didn't intend to admit that she had stolen Lena's engagement ring. This kind of indifferent attitude irritated Peggy to a high degree. Slowly, she began raising her hand, readying herself to slap Ashley. "Since you refuse to admit your crime, I am here to teach you a lesson. Let me show you how thieves are treated in this society!"

What Peggy did was so abrupt that it stunned Ashley so much. She had no time to dodge. When Peggy's palm was about to hit her face, Ashley closed her eyes tightly. Knowing the woman, she knew that Peggy would slap her with all her strength.

"Ouch!"

Upon hearing Peggy screech in agony, Ashley became very confused. If the slap didn't land on her face, what happened?

Still cautious, Ashley opened her eyes slowly and found a familiar figure in front of her. A tall man was shielding from Peggy's wrath.

Peering from behind the man, Ashley saw that the man was tightly grasping Peggy's hand, making it unable to move.

"Are you hurt?" the man asked Ashley in a low voice. Stunned, Ashley shook her head slightly.

Not one bone in her body expected Andrew to come and protect her.

Seeing Ashley okay and not hurt in any way, Andrew heaved a sigh of relief and turned his eyes to Peggy, the woman who had intended to slap Ashley.

When her hand was about to land on Ashley's face, he felt his heart stop beating. Ashley was the only woman he loved and spoiled. He even couldn't bear to talk to her loudly. But just now she was almost beaten by this barbaric woman!
