A Love Trap

Peggy regretted that she didn't listen to Lena earlier as she was trying to explain to Spencer. Things had come to this point where everyone in the Mu family except Spencer knew that Ashley had cut off all ties with them. He was still in the dark about the whole thing.

"There is one thing I have to tell you...it's a little... you have to promise me that you won't get angry if I tell you," said Peggy.

Spencer was getting impatient. Everything that had happened already irked him enough and he couldn't believe there was more. "What is it? Start talking and stop wasting my time."

"Okay. What I'm going to tell you is that...Ashley...She isn't a member of our family anymore," said Peggy.

Spencer didn't think much of it when he heard this the first time from Ron. Ron had just been back from abroad then so it was understandable that he'd made a mistake like that, as he wasn't around to see her.

But what did Peggy mean by saying that?

'What does that mean that Ashley is not a member of the Mu family anymore?

Whose family does she belong to if she is not a member of this one?'

Earlier, he was even thinking that if that person loved Ashley then he could possibly take advantage of her powerful family and try to develop a connection with the Lu family.

It would be great to have some sort of connection with them. If anyone found out, they would treat the Mu family differently.

In his mind, he had already planned it in detail. Peggy telling him that Ashley wasn't a part of the family anymore would destroy his plan.

As he thought of this, he asked glumly, "What the hell does that mean? Can you explain it to me clearly?"

'Shit!' cried Peggy in her heart upon seeing Spencer getting more agitated.
