A Love Trap novel Chapter 155

Feeling anxious, Johnny looked at Ashley with worry.

'This is getting bad, Miss Mu has bumped into her ex-boyfriend. Would he get his relationship with her back?' Johnny thought in his head. He felt more worried as he continued to think about that. 'Oh my god! What about Mr. Lu?

Miss. Mu is his first girlfriend. It can't just be over right now!' Johnny worried, but his thoughts weren't over yet.

'Oh, wait!

What an idiot I am. They have been married already, ' thought Johnny with an excited look evident on his face. However, he started to worry that Ashley might have an affair.

Overhearing all those thoughts in his head, Johnny felt like a mother hovering over her son and worrying about his marriage.

With all the fuss, Johnny sighed deeply and had set himself to accept his fate of worrying about Andrew's personal life.

Although Andrew paid him very well, there were too many things to worry. Needless to say, aside from his work as his assistant in the company, Johnny had been so faithful to him that he even trusted him with matters of his personal affairs, and that included Ashley.

This time, when Raymond stopped Ashley from leaving the venue, Lena looked down with an aggrieved and innocent look.

Mrs. Luo saw everything in her eyes, and the way Raymond looked at her. She hated Ashley even more, seeing that there was still something between the two of them regardless of the circumstances. On her mind, she thought that Ashley was an ungrateful evil woman. The Mu family took her as their own, and Lena treated her as her sister. But now, she was shamelessly seducing her younger sister's fiance!

Clearly, Mrs. Luo totally forgot Raymond was with Ashley first. All she wanted was for her to keep a safe distance away from her son knowing that he was with Lena now. She must show some decency some time. Even though Lena was the one who stepped into their relationship and took Raymond away from Ashley, still it didn't look good for Raymond to be seen closer to Ashley than to Lena knowing that they were now engaged to be married.

"Raymond, why are you holding Miss Mu's arm? That is not how a gentleman asks a girl to stay for a bit longer," with a peevish look and an inquisitive expression on her face, Mrs. Luo said coldly.

Hearing that, Raymond realized his reckless behavior and loosened his hand. Ashley glanced him, pulled her arm out, turned and readied to walk away.

She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

However, some people just didn't let her out of the situation easily. A familiar, angry voice piped in and stopped her again.

"Ashley, stop!"

Hearing the familiar sarcastic tone, Ashley recognized the voice and gulped. It was Peggy without a doubt. All her life she knew that Peggy didn't like her to be her own child though they adopted her as a kid.

Preparing herself to face the woman she dreaded, Ashley sighed deeply. 'What's wrong with today? Why would all the things have conspired against me together?' Ashley thought silently while cursing deep inside.

If she had known that this was how things would be, she would not have agreed to Andrew to come to the party in the first place.

The voice of Peggy stopping her just made Ashley pause for a short moment. Ashley already had nothing to do with the Mu family as she had cut all ties with them. She didn't plan to give Peggy a chance to walk all over her again. Thus without looking back or heading to Peggy's call, Ashley ignored her and kept walking.

Out of Ashley's expectation, however, Peggy walked towards her and stopped her by grabbing her arm. She said in rage, "Ashley! I asked you to stop! Didn't you hear me? How dare you ignore me?" Without considering Ashley's feelings like a mother would do, Peggy immediately scolded her despite the awkward stares from the other guests.

Facing her this time, Ashley glared at Peggy sharply as her red fingertips dug into her arms so tightly that they nearly started to bleed. "Let me go!" said Ashley without any expression shoving Peggy away from her.

Shocked by the sudden rejection, Peggy couldn't believe what she just heard from Ashley. Her rage was going wild. "Ashley, how dare you! How dare you talk to me like that! I raised you as my own child! Is that how you show your appreciation to your mother?"

"Mrs. Mu. Let me remind you of something. I did what you asked me to do and now, you have nothing to do with me!"

Letting out all her fits of anger towards her, Ashley replied furiously.

If Peggy did not care about her reputation at all, Ashley wouldn't mind putting more gasoline on her fire. That would mean she would be the center of everyone's gossips.

Reminded by Ashley's statement, Peggy was stunned. She stopped what she was doing and loosened her fingers on Ashley's arm intending to let her go before she could create further havoc. But before she could even let go of her, Ashley pulled her arm out of Peggy's grasp, which made her lose her balance a little.

Because of the sudden pull, Ashley's skin was scratched a little making her rub on her arm. Peggy had grabbed her arm really hard just now. Bruises and scratches appeared on Ashley's arm and a vexed expression was drawn on her innocent face.

Mr. Chen teased them as he crept in without anyone noticing him.

Judging from the way he looked, he was in his forties or fifties. The black suit and tie he wore with his rather bald head made him look rather dull and queer.

However, nothing could stop him from fixing his eyes on Lena. Obviously, he had a thing towards Lena.

However, there was a woman in her thirties that stood right next to Mr. Chen. She had a very attractive figure and a pretty face, needless to say.

The corner of her eyes was lifted slightly up, which seemed to be able to charm any man. The sexy red sheath dress which showed off her curvaceous figure made her look like she was a twenty years old girl.

She looked around and locked her eyes on Spencer who was just inches away from where they were standing.

Being interrupted by Mr. Chen's appearance, Ashley was about to leave. However, when she noticed what the lady in the red dress was doing, she was shocked and she stopped walking all of a sudden.

Uncomfortably, she felt like being hit by a wedge in her heart. Although it was none of Ashley's business, she just felt disgusted by seeing it.

The lady in red dress must be blind to pick up Spencer as the target.

With her figure and looks, she would easily get a better sugar daddy than Spencer.

With these thoughts in mind, Ashley really doubted about her taste and questioned her decision.

'Stop! Ashley! Stay out of Spencer's way. Ah! What am I thinking?' Ashley was trying to scream those thoughts out of her head.

Bracing herself up, Ashley stopped herself from thinking those useless things. They could do whatever they wanted. It was really not her business.

She reminded herself that she was not that kind of person who liked to gossip. She wouldn't stoop down at the level of those cheap women who liked to mess with other people's lives.
