All Chapters of Ashley's Revenge : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

DJ, Sarah and Bruce had gotten permission from the doctor to go in to see Mr Leon. Ashley occupied the seat Sarah had previously sat on since Sarah had left. Ashley settled onto the seat with extra grace as Rachel's glare did little grazing to her confidence. She felt Rachel's hot gaze on her, but she did not flinch. “You'll grow old and ugly if you wear that frown for too long.” Ashley spoke without turning to Rachel. She casually adjusted the bracelet on her wrist, running her fingers over the expensive, delicate jewelry. “Can't help it when there's a stubborn stench following me around.” Rachel sneered. “The smell must be coming from you if it follows you everywhere. Have you checked yourself?” Ashley turned to her with a gentle smile. The scowl on Rachel's face deepened. She cast a scornful look over at Ashley, her eyes dripped with disdain as she muttered cusses under her breath. Ashley shook her head at her and rolled her eyes. “All that venom will kill you.” She warned. R

“How did it go?” Pamela asked Ashley as she walked into the office. “How is Bruce?” “What do you expect? He's a hot mess, whining about his damaged reputation.” Ashley responded, settling into her office chair. “Does he suspect you?” Ashley laughed. “Suspect me? He has no reason to suspect me… Yet.” She added. Her expression turned brooding as she recalled Bruce's attitude towards her at the hospital and Rachel's confident smile. “What is it?” Pamela didn't miss the change on her face. Ashley shook her head and pushed the thought to the back of her mind. “It's nothing.” “I can't believe this worked out so well. For a moment I feared that the plan might come back to bite us. I can't believe Bruce went through the whole damn thing without checking once to see if things were going right.” “Alex is smart and Bruce is a fool.” There was no kindness in Ashley's words. Pamela giggled, finding Ashley's comparison amusing. Ashley swiveled her chair, turning her sides to Pamela while

Ashley stood by the foot of the stairs, hesitating momentarily. She looked up the staircase, each case reminding her how familiar it used to be. The room suddenly began to close in on her. The large space became too small.The hairs on her skin stood. Goosebumps adorn her body. Her breath quickened and her body quivered with cold chills.She shut her eyes, lifted her dress and took one step up. She clutched to the mass of her dress too tightly as waves of memories hit her.It was torturing. But she didn't stop. She continued, climbing on with a racing heart. The beating of her heart overshadowed the soft music that echoed from the lower floor. For the first time after six long years, thick fear filled her guts. But not once did she consider stopping. She charged, matched forward, turning her fears into her fuel. She needed to do this. She needed to confront this.Cheering and reminding herself why she was doing this, Ashley reached the landing.Then came another difficult task. Wa

Ashley went back down. Her mission for attending the party had been a dead end. But not entirely unproductive. For one, she had Rachel in a messed up corner. That alone was enough to make up for the night. And it brought her great joy. The other, she got her hands on something very important. Something she could use to bring Bruce down. As she reached the base of the staircase, she weaved her gaze through the crowd to where she had left Pamela. She hissed. Pamela had moved. No longer in the same place. She would need to find her. She plowed ahead and blended into the crowd, darting her eyes through the small cluster of people, looking for Pamela. It didn't take long before she spotted Pam, intently focused in a conversation with a strange man. Ashley walked up to them. She heard Pam giggle girlishly as she closed in on them. Who was this man? And why was Pamela entertaining him? “Pamela.” She called, but her call went unanswered. “Pamela!” Ashley called forcefully. This tim

Pamela's heels clicked angrily as she matched past Ashley. “Pamela.”. Ashley stopped her. “You should see these.” she dug her hands into her purse to fetch out something. “I got my hands on Bruce's financial record. And you won't believe what they contain.” “Good for you.” Pamela said sarcastically, not bothering to take a look at what Ashley had in her hands. “Are you alright?” “These damn signals.” Pamela muttered cusses under her breath. Her finger punched her device as though she was in a fierce battle with it. Frantically trying to book a cab, the reception on her cellphone was in opposition to her wants. “What are you so worked up about?” Ashley asked, catching up to her. Pamela ignored her, kept pressing on her phone, exiting and re-entering the app as she received the same service unavailable response. “Argh.” Pamela groaned in frustration. Ashley stole a glance at the screen. “Let's get to my house. I'll ask a driver to drop you off.” Ashley suggested seeing that P
