Chapter 261 You Were Nothing
Seeing Ashley again, it was clear that she had lost a lot of weight, with deep dark circles under her
eyes. It was evident that her days in prison had not been comfortable.
But when she saw me, her hatred and anger were as strong as ever. She glared at me furiously. If it
weren’t for the wide table between us, I believe she would have torn me apart.
“Tabatha, who would have thought you’d see this day, it’s karma!” She suddenly burst into laughter, her
face full of madness, “An eye for an eye, I’ll only have to serve a few years in prison, but you, a life
taken, you’ll spend the rest of your long life rotting in jail!”
Her words were venomous, as if I really had killed Henry.
Looking at her, I felt no turmoil in my heart, calmly saying, “An eye for an eye? So you did know. In that
case, Ashley, shouldn’t the one rotting in jail be you? You’re the one who killed Henry. What, have you
forgotten so quickly?”
“You’re spouting slander!” She shouted angrily, “Tabatha, you killed him, I saw you do it with my own
eyes, you can’t hide from it, you will face retribution!”
Watching her reaction, for a few seconds, I even doubted myself if I really killed Henry. I must say, her
acting skills were so high that she even believed her own lies.
I laughed, watching her laugh.
Seeing me laugh, her face darkened, her eyes wide and angry as she glared at me, “What are you This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
laughing at?”
I spoke up, saying lightly, “Retribution? Do you believe in it?”
Her face froze for a few seconds. Before she could respond, I continued, “I believe. I didn’t before, but
now I do, because I’ve seen you, Ashley. You haven’t looked in a mirror for a long time, have you?”
She had become so haggard that her pale face looked somewhat distorted, “Tabatha, what exactly are
you trying to say?”
I smiled faintly, staring at her intently, “Ashley, Henry’s spirit must be haunting you day and night now,
right? And your child, who is almost a month old, has he taken shape yet? You killed him with your own
hands, killed his father, two lives, Ashley, when you dream at midnight, can you sleep peacefully?”
“Shut up!” I wasn’t sure if my words had hit a nerve, but Ashley’s eyes suddenly flared up in a fiery red,
glaring at me with a deathly stare. She roared, “What right do you have to judge me? Tabatha, the
person Henry was looking for was you. You killed her, not me, not me.”
I sneered, not caring in the slightest, calmly saying, “Fine, what if it was me? You’ve been in jail for
almost half a month, haven’t you? All this time, have you been waiting every day for Walter to come
see you? Have you been hoping every day that he might be trying to find a way to save you?”
People, as long as they desire something, care about something, they will have weaknesses, even
someone as sinister and vile as Ashley was no exception.
Hearing me mention Walter, a hint of softness and anticipation emerged on her fierce face.
I knew what she wanted, but I didn’t want to grant her wish. Seeing her full of anticipation, I sneered,

slowly revealing the jade bracelet on
my wrist, and played with it, saying, “What a pity, you can only daydream. During the time you’ve been
here, he has never asked about you, nor has he ever thought of saving you. He, oh, he’s been busy
figuring out how to please me, how to make it up to me, how to keep
me.”
“You’re talking nonsense!” A woman’s emotions are easily swayed by a man’s love, and Ashley’s
breakdown was no exception.
She glared at me, her eyes blood red, “Tabatha, your end is near, you won’t be smug for much longer.”
I laughed, “How about we make a bet? Let’s see who will eventually leave here unscathed, and who
will spend their life in prison, in the dark? Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, your favorite Walter came
to see me yesterday. He said he wouldn’t let me stay here for too long.”
Angry, she was shaking all over, “Tabatha, shut up. Do you think I would believe your nonsense?
Walter only cares about you because of the favor you did for him years ago. Without that, you are
nothing.”
