Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Chapter 287

Lloyd and Manuel were a bit puzzled by Ashley's words. Logically, Selina already had more than Ashley could ever dream of. It didn't make sense for her to do something like that to Ashley, but at the same time, it wasn't entirely out of the question.

"Ashley, stop itt Selina, I'm sorry. We'll get her out of here! Joseph, who was now completely fed up with Ashley, no longer believed anything she said. He thought she just wanted to pin the blame for those photos on Selina.

"Why? How could Ashley, someone I always trusted, do something like this! And yet, Selina, the one I despised and saw as the disgrace of the Harvey family, is now being slandered by the person I trusted mou? Joseph's head pounded as these thoughts raced through his mind. He wished it

just a nightmare, but the sharp pain only confinned that this was real, making him even more painfully aware of the reality.

Selina almost thought she was dreaming. Did Joseph just apologize to me? Unbelievable! I've insulted and mocked him, yet instead of seeking revenge, he's leaving with that crazy woman, Ashley? What's happening here? Or is this just the typical masochistic streak of the Harvey family? "Joseph, I can't just leave! Selina has to give me an explanation! How am I supposed to live like this? I might as well die!" Ashley couldn't believe Joseph chose to side with Selina and turn against her. In a fit of desperation, she decided to cause a scene right then and there, hoping Quinton and Sara would blame Selina. That way, she could escape and pin the blame on Selina, Secretly, Ashley was pleased with her clever scheme.

Slap!

Another slap sounded, hitting her face. Ashley's head was ringing with the impact. She immediately went silent.

"Stop crying. It makes my head hurt. Shut up! Selina cursed, thinking. It's so nice to finally get rid of the noise!

Looking at Ashley's red and swollen face, freshly slapped by Selina, Lloyd whispered, "Selina, i-it's not good to slap Ashley like this..."

Selina shot a cold glance at Lloyd, and he immediately averted his eyes, too afraid to meet her gaze. It was a humiliating sight - the fourth son of the Harvey family, once a world-class racing champion, reduced to such cowardice in front of his own sister. you

"I don't care why you came here today. Ashley, it looks like you're trying to pin the blame on me. I'm not going to be anyone's scapegoat. Since y showed up here on your own, let's settle this once and for all, Selina said.

She mused, Does Ashley think I am still the fool who doted on her in my past life? The Harvey family is bound to fall apart sooner or later anyway. Since she's shown up here on her own, I might as well give them a big surprise and shake things up even mare' "You What do you mean? Ashley suddenly had an ominous feeling.

Selina took out her phone and played a piece of audio, "Yes... I took Ms. Ashley Harvey's money to slander Ms. Selina Harvey. I'm really sorry, I was out of my mind. Please spare mel"

Ashley's face turned pale in an instant when she recognized the voice.

Manuel was the first to recognize the voice. "Isn't this the maid who framed Selina and then escaped? Why do you have her recording?"

"Do you really think I would be foolish enough to let you keep wronging me! The Harvey family didn't arrest the maid because you guys were protecting someone. I caught her myself and uncovered who was behind it all. Just as I suspected, it was Ashley who art me up for the theft! After saying that, Selina looked at Ashley with a faint smile. "So, Ashley, stop pretending to be the perfect sister in front of me. It's honestly nauseating. I've seen your true colors from the start. I've just been letting you perform. The deeper you get into this act, the more humiliated you'll be when 1 expose all the evidence!"

"No... It's not like that... Selins, you must have misunderstood something! That's not who I am! The maid must have deliberately slandered me!" Ashley denied.

*Everyone can see whether this is really slander. Quinton and Sara already had their suspicion, which is why they chose not to dig further into the maid. I was framed and kicked out of the Harvey family. It's clear who benefited the most from that. You did. As the only daughter left, you no longer had any competition for love and attention. But of course, your clueless brothers couldn't see it. And yet, you still dare to show your face in front of me? What a joke!" Selina scoffed.

Hearing what Selina said, Joseph and the others fell silent. When Selina was slandered and kicked out of the Harvey family, Ashley indeed benefited most from it. In fact, they had suspected this for a while, but they didn't pursue it because they trusted Ashley's character. They believed Ashley was still their sweet, kind, and innocent younger sister and would never stoop to such despicable tactics for her own gain.

However, when Selina revealed a recording of the maid's confession, Ashley's image in their minds was shattered completely. They didn't know if they could trust Ashley anymore,Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"No... Joseph, Lloyd, Manuel, I didn't do it. I didn't. You have to believe me! This is just a recording. It's very likely that someone fabricated it to Trame me!" Ashley hurriedly pleaded Selina looked at Ashley as if she were a trapped animal, amused by her desperate struggle. "Oh? Are you saying I faked this recording just to frame your

Chapter 287

Ashley stayed silent, but tears were streaming down her face. She hadn't expected Selina to have such solid evidence against her. Now, all she could do was cry in a desperate attempt to appear innocent. Admitting the truth was out of the question if she did, she knew she'd never have a chance to regain her place in the Harvey family.

"Ashley, I forgot to tell you that this audio is not a recording. It's a video. Come and meet your good maid. Selina said as she turned her phone toward Joseph and the others, pressing play once more. The maid's tearful confession in the video echoed like a death knell in everyone's ears. This was undeniable proof of the truth. A video couldn't be faked.

"By the way, that maid kept a recording of your deal with her -just in case you decided to turn on her. I've got to admit, she's pretty smart. Ashley. care to guess who has that recording now?" Selina said again.

Ashley felt as if all the strength had been drained from her. Those words had condemned her to a personal hell from which there was no escape.

"L-Let's go!" Joseph stammered, his face burning with shame as he turned to leave. He knew staying any longer would only lead to more humiliation. Joseph could barely restrain himself from slapping Ashley. Her actions had utterly shattered the trust they once had in her. The betrayal cur deep. It hurt more than he could put into words.

Lloyd glanced at Ashley, who slumped to the ground, and left, too.

for all of

Only Manuel remained. He looked back and forth from Ashley to Selina and finally said, "Selina, I'm sorry. I promised you an explanation for this. It's been so long but I couldn't find the maid. You...

"Get out." After saying this, 5

Selina returned to the Brady manor with Devin and others.

A bitter smile appeared on Manuel's face. It was only natural for Selina to ask him to leave. Now, he didn't even know how to face her. He had almost forgotten about the whole situation and never imagined that Ashley was the true mastermind behind it all. He thought to himself, Ashley, you played your role so well and fooled so many of us. You pretended to care deeply for Selina, always speaking to her with affection. You stood by her side every time she was falsely accused, and it touched us. But we never realized you were the one pulling the strings all along. You played us like fools. No wonder Selina has always kept her distance, mocking and saying harsh things to you. From the beginning, she saw right through you, Ashley!
