Chapter 160: Death Take

Lily and Christopher entered back into their living room shortly after the cop left, scheduling another day to return for a proper investigation after Christopher demanded him to get a warrant.“I don’t even mind asking my lawyer to be present so that he doesn’t try anything funny, because that cop acts weird to me, and I don’t want him getting into the heads of my domestic staff, or I might even speak with the head cop and demand for his replacement on this case,” Christopher said all at once.But Lily could not respond to him. Actually, she wasn’t even paying attention to him at all; she was thinking deeply.“…this is a murder case now.” Those were the last words of the cop, and it struck something in Lily.Since, all she had been hearing was that Maggie was dead, but now that it had sounded in her ears that she had been killed, Lily was beginning to become frantic.Don Grander.She had gone to Don Grander and reported Maggie to him, and he had promised to handle it.

Chapter 161: Easy To Handle

“Answer me!” Christopher barked at Lily, making her jump in fright.Lily had almost forgotten about the note that Hedge gave her just the day before, a few hours before their beautiful dinner, and of all people to stumble upon it, Christopher had to be the one.“I am not joking with you, Ashley. Who is Hedge and what is the meaning of this?” Christopher asked again, fuming.Lily became worried as she swallowed multiple times, trying to think of something that she could possibly say that Christopher would believe her.“Um…he is just an old friend,” Lily finally found the word.“And old friend, you say?” Christopher asked.“Yes,” Lily said.Being that she was living in Ashley’s life, it was expected that he would easily believe her, because a woman like Ashley would definitely have multiple old friends.“This is a handwritten note, which means that it was given to you by hand. When did you see him?” Christopher asked smartly.One of the problems with dealing with Christopher Bridger was

Chapter 162: All She Needs To Know

“Who?” Lily asked, her voice sounding almost shaky.Lily was reminded that she was still having some predicaments to deal with, and the information just made her jumpy.Lily had come to realize that the world of the rich was filled with bricks and thorns. She had only been married to Christopher Bridger for a couple of months, but she could not recall the last time she had rest of mind. From the very day that she was abducted and forced into impersonating Ashley Grander, Lily had never been herself. She had come to realize that there was too much going on in their world, including murder and bloodshed, and it completely devastated her.“She didn’t exactly say, but she begged that it was urgent for her to see you,” he told Lily.“A she?” Lily asked and he nodded his head.The only person that Lily could think of was Emily Torres, but then again, the Emily she knew would not hesitate to announce herself. In fact, she might have wanted to come right upstairs if she felt that Lily was was

Chapter 163: Missing

“Send Aimee into my office right away,” Christopher barked at his new secretary the moment he arrived at work.He could not even recall her name, because she had just been hired to replace Trisha, but right now, the last thing that was of utmost concern to Christopher was the name of his new secretary. Christopher was seated and settled just in time before Aimee entered.“Good morning, Mr. Christopher,” Aimee greeted.Christopher saw that flash of rage and jealousy in Aimee’s eyes again before they disappeared, and it made him a little unsettled. What was she enraged about? So far, she seemed to be taking the whole demotion thing with grace, and although Christopher hadn’t told her, he hoped to reinstate her once his marriage with Ashley ended. He could not tell Aimee that to make her feel better because that would mean exposing the fact that he was in a contract marriage, and that was highly against the rules.Then what was she jealous about? It certainly cannot be Ashley, because th

Chapter 164: A Woman Scorned

Christopher was almost going insane. He had already had all his security guards secure the front gate and every possible exit.He was fuming and boiling with anger, because he knew how important those papers was to him and his company. Whoever took them certainly knew that they were worth a huge amount of money, and if he didn’t do something about it quickly, he would lose that money.“Whoever did this is going to pay with their lives!” Christopher kept saying to himself, and he meant every word of it.One thing that he could not stand was stealing, and he was very certain that it must have been when he went out to lunch with Ashley. The only thing was that he did not check for it yesterday when he got back.“Damn…who the hell could have done this to me?” Christopher asked.He had already called the cops and detectives and investigators, because he needed to know who did it and retrieve those papers, and he needed to know as soon as possible. However, it just seemed like they were tak

Chapter 165: Bittersweet

“I knew that my dad never loved me when he began to pick Emily Torres over me, and the punishment in the room increased after they caught me and brought me back home. Emily would sit there and watch my dad scar me with his punishment tools, and then abandon me in the hands of the old maid to be treated. I hated both of them severely.The more they treated me like an animal, the wilder I became. I just wanted to humiliate them and get them infuriated as much as they hurt me. Soon, I stopped feeling the hurt and pain from the punishments, because my body just became numb to everything that I was feeling. So yeah, they couldn’t hurt my body any longer, but I could make them go crazy with the recklessness and scandals.”Lily shuddered as she read through Ashley’s diary.Lily was not exactly taking her time in reading it, because she knew that she did not have all the time in the world, and she needed to get to that part where she would be able to give justice to Ashley before her time was

Chapter 166: Consequences OF Stepping On Her

Christopher had had to get back home from work when he got a call that that same cop was back to interrogate his staff right when he was almost done with the other cops and investigators and detectives in his company.The last five hours have been the most rigorous activity that Christopher had ever had in his company, as all the officials that were sent took their jobs seriously. Meanwhile, Christopher still had Aimee investigated, even though she had seemed shocked when Christopher had asked her that question.“Mr. Christopher, why would you ask me such a question?” Aimee had asked, shock and deep hurt in her eyes, but Christopher hadn’t let that deter him.What was missing was more important than the feelings of anyone, and Christopher would trample on anyone or anything without remorse just to find it. The only thing that ever mattered to Christopher was this company; not any longstanding friendship or working relationship, and certainly not anyone at all.“Did you steal from me j

Chapter 167: Bigger Troubles

“What sort of accusation is this?” Lily asked, stunned at what the cop was saying to her face, and worse, Christopher’s reaction indicated that he might also be thinking towards the direction of the cop.The fact that he was not immediately standing up for her was enough message to Lily.“Are you trying to say that it is a coincidence that once you get into an altercation with someone, the person is being murdered?” The cop asked, glaring at Lily confidently.Lily shook her head furiously. “I have no idea what you are talking about! I have no hand in whatever happened to Rosa or even Maggie. I wasn’t even at home when she left the mansion, and I did not send her to get anything, she simply went on her own,” Lily tried to explain.“You can only come up with excuses, but you cannot stop the fact that there is a connection,” the cop said. “I am just sick and tired of you wealthy and powerful people committing crimes and sweeping it under the carpet like it means absolutely nothing.

Chapter 168: Life-Threatening

Lily followed Christopher into their bedroom, more dreadful than she was before. Her life just seemed to be shredding right in front of her.If this was truly Ashley Grander, she might have known how to maneuver her way around this situation, but not Lily. She had no idea that things were going to get this complicated. Between the threat from the cop and Christopher’s, Lily could not even tell which she feared the most, but one thing that was certain was that if Christopher did hand her over to the cops to be eaten alive, she would never survive it.How would she ever be able to tell her story? Who would believe her? No one would even pay a listening ear to Lily once Christopher and Don Grander might have turned their backs on her. She would never see Joe again and she would never live a normal and happy life. Lily’s dream of falling in love and raising a family would be flushed down the toilet. Also, if this broke out and everything was revealed, it could affect Joe’s career, and he

Chapter 169: Two Truths

Lily had to take a few minutes to steady her racing hearty.“I don’t think I am going to survive any of this,” Lily told herself dreadfully.The more she stayed in this pretense, the more dangerous things became. Her life now was more at risk than just failing to do Don Grander’s bidding. There were so many things hanging over Lily’s head now, and it made her afraid.There was no way out for her.“You should have been alive to dance to the beat of your own music,” Lily grumbled, referring to Ashley as though she was standing right there.Lily was confused. She was exasperated. She was afraid beyond words. She was almost clueless.The life of the wealthy and famous had nothing that anyone should envy about or crave for. Aside from the money they had to lavish on everything and anything, there was always chaos and danger, and even murder looming around them. It was a sharp contrast from the life that Lily was accustomed to, and in all honesty, it was more peaceful and drama-free.Anyway
