A Love Trap

Cora obviously doubted Peggy. There was nothing Lena had that would make Ashley jealous!

Instead, it was Lena who was the jealous one.

She despised her for all that she had done!

Cora sneered, "Fake? How could Ashley possibly have faked this recording?"

Peggy shook her head wildly, hoping Cora would reason with her.

Cora put up a scornful smile. The entire family was a bunch of liars!

"Look, I have already consulted a professional to check the recording. It is real. It was Lena who said all of that. What have you got to say about that?"

Peggy replied, "It's Impossible!" She had to convince Cora that Lena wasn't the type of person who could do something like that. "Cora! You must be mistaken, please understand!"

Cora responded impatiently, "We really don't care what you think. We are here to call off the wedding. Your daughter is apparently too good for our son. We don't dare become her family!"

Her words stung Peggy, but she managed to keep herself composed. "Mrs. Luo, what are you talking about? This decision isn't up to us! They love each other. They have been together for so long and are already engaged. You can't just call it off in an instant!"

Cora lost all her calm. Raising her voice, she said, "Oh, since you are asking for it, let me make it harder for you. Raymond never even loved Lena! Did you know that your dear daughter drugged my son so he would sleep with her?"

Peggy looked haunted. However, Cora continued, "I knew Raymond wouldn't sleep with some girl just because he'd had a few drinks. I never really thought of Lena in such a bad light. And since they'd already slept together, I didn't say anything about the marriage. But now I'm left with no choice. Let's make everything clear right away!"

She then took a breath. Peggy couldn't say anything and let her continue. "I never liked the fact that Ashley was an adopted child, so I didn't want to see her with Raymond. After what happened between Raymond and Lena that night, I thought it was the best opportunity for Raymond to stay away from Ashley. Therefore I decided to support Lena and go with the engagement. By the way, did you know why Lena did all that? She got engaged to Raymond simply so she could take him away from Ashley! Raymond and Ashley used to be together at one point in time!"
