The Bound Between Us

Chapter 316

Ashley was filled with regret. “I was just anxious and worried that if I entrusted this task to someone else, it might not be done well, so I took matters into my own hands,” Ashley admitted in a rush. “Tavon, what do we do now? You have to think of something.”

Ashley was scared, and he knew it.

Tavon was aware of Ashley’s plot against Anastasia, but he hadn’t expected such a foolish tactic.

“Anastasia hasn’t taken any action so far, and the police haven’t shown up yet. It means she hasn’t reported anything, so there’s still a chance to turn this situation around,”

Tavon analyzed. “Even if you hand over the evidence to the authorities, the Morton family’s influence would protect you. Plus, Anastasia shares our blood. No matter what, she’s family. She wouldn’t turn you into the police. However, this does mean she now has leverage over you.”

Ashley let out a sigh of relief at the thought that Anastasia might not report her to the police. But soon after, she snapped bitterly, “That cunning girl, she wouldn’t be thinking of blackmailing us, would she?”

“That’s not entirely impossible.” Tavon replied, puffing on his cigar. “Anastasia is very cunning. Your failure today proves she’s been suspicious of us and has been on guard. Smart girl.”

“You’re even praising her now,” Ashley seethed. “I knew that conniving girl wasn’t as simple as she seemed. She dreams of getting a third of the Morton family fortune. In her dreams.”
