A Love Trap

Peggy's hands came up to the cheek that Spencer had just slapped. Her eyes were fixed on him in confusion, and she was too shocked to move.

She tasted blood, which was something that made her realize what was going on. The rage built up within her, and her eyes were spitting fire. She shouted at him, "Spencer! You slapped me! How could you do that to me?"

"Father!" Lena called out. She couldn't believe what had just happened either. She looked at Spencer, trying to understand why he had done it.

Spencer ignored them. He walked up to Andrew and glanced at Ashley, who was in Andrew's arms. He then lowered his head and said, "Mr. Lu. I am sorry about what has just happened. My wife didn't mean to hurt Ashley. She was just a little overwhelmed by the situation. We treat Ashley like our own and will never hit her. My wife might just try to scare her a little so that she would not make such a mistake again." Spencer turned to Ashley and continued, "Ashley knew it too, right?"

Spencer could never have thought that Ashley was the person Andrew was looking for. But he didn't really care about how that had happened. The only thing that was going through his head was that his daughter was the wife of the CEO of the Lu Group. His corporation, the Mu Group, would soon have all the resources and contracts that any company could dream of.

The Luo family would soon be nothing comparing to his family. Ashley had become a shining golden treasure in Spencer's eyes.

He could hardly conceal his excitement, and a big smile took a place on his face. He suddenly felt that adopting Ashley was the best decision he had ever made.

Ashley sneered from within. Spencer's attitude was radically different from how he had been a while earlier. She knew that it was because of Andrew.

"Father, what are you talking about?" said Lena. She was unable to believe what her father was saying.

To Lena, the man who was holding Ashley was just another good-looking man without any money or power. She didn't know why her father was acting so strange.
