chapter 47
“Ariana, don’t misunderstand.” Ashton pleaded.
He can’t allow the conversation to go downhill before getting what he came for.
“What exactly did I misunderstood? Ariana asked coldly.
Ashton felt his entire body froze. ‘Where did she get this powerful aura?’
“Ang has always been my girlfriend even before I met your mother. Her parents wanted her to
marry someone else because I was poor back then. I was just setting up mypany and it did not
look too promising in their eyes. I did not want to hinder her future so I had to let her go even though
she did not want to.
Couple months after I brought home your mother, I went to see Ang to cut things off
permanently. She broke down when I got to her ce because she did not want to marry someone else
and was also upset because I got marry to someone other than her.
I wasforting her and then one thing lead to a next. It was a mistake.” Ashton exined.
Everything Ashton told her just now was partially true.
Ang was his girlfriend and she did broke down after learning about his marriage to Ariana’s
mother. Her parents did go against their rtionship and tried arranging a business marriage for her
but Ang wanted him and nobody else and for that reason alone he loved her more than life itself.
Infact, he had never slept with Ariana’s mother. What he sold her was just lies. He cannot tell her
the truth. That would put him and his family in danger and he had been in public hiding for twenty-three
years living peacefully because the Miller Family knew nothing of him.
He can’t allow his wife and daughter to be hurt.
Another thing he needs to do is to find a way to break her up with Michael. That is a death trap
and/or prison sentence for him.
“Well, I don’t care about your wife and daughter. I just want to find my mother and you don’t have
any useful information for me.” Ariana felt like he wasted her time.
Ashton felt annoyed at her tone but tried his best to stay cool, “Ang is your step-mother and she
helped raised you. As for Gina, she is your sister and you know she loves you. She is just a tough love
time of person.”
Ariana rolled her eyes, “Yeah, right!”
“Ariana, you are the bigger sister and you should look out for your sister.” Ashton said while
looking in his empty cup of coffee.
Ariana knew he was about to voice his real purpose foring here.
Ashton swallowed and said lightly, “Speaking of Gina.” He stopped and look up at her. “You and
Michael is really close and he seemed to fancy you at the moment.”
‘At the moment?’ Ariana frowned at his words.
“For my sake or your little sister’s sake, can you ask him to have Johnson agree to the divorce?”
Ashton looked at her with hopeful eyes but was surprised by the answer her got.
“Why would I do that?” Ariana asked while looking at her nails as if it was the most interesting thing
in the world.
Ashton felt his anger surging, “Why wouldn’t you? She is your sister and she can’t marry a man
that is old enough to be her father. The wedding is still on between her and Adam and we can’t offend
the Richards family.”
Ariana felt bitter her heart. It was obvious that he only came her to plead for his most precious
daughter.
Gina interfere with her rtion with Adam and he had nothing to say.
Mr. Johnson requested to get married to Gina and they felt it was better for her to take Gina’s spot
in the name of being the bigger sister.
Gina asked Johnson to rape her. She was forced to get married to Johnson as her punishment.
She could have chosen prison time instead.

Now they want her to plead with her husband. If that is the case, then what reason would Michael
have to defend her in the future?
“She made her own bed and thest time you wanted me to marry him. Did you thought of him as
a pervert and an old man when you insist on me marrying him?” Ariana was now angry.
Ashton was shocked by her question because it is indeed the truth. He didn’t care when it was her
but how can he let his own flesh and blood do it.
“Your sister has been feeling sorry for what she have done and is asking for forgiveness.” Ashton
retorted.
“Is that so?” she stared at him calmly and asked with sarcasm. “Two weeks ago, she pped me
for no reason at the clubhouse and broke my lip. Yesterday I was getting off lunch when she attacked
me verbally when all I am trying to do was ignore her.”
Ashton remember the incident Ginain about. He was now angry and cannot hide it, “Why
the hell are you trying to make your sister’s life miserable? I have taken care of you for twenty-three
years and this all I get. An ungrateful brat.”
Ariana finally see the real him, “I am happy you took off your mask. It was annoying me. You took
care of me for three years.”
“Even so, I still took care of you. You need to repay me.” Ashton shouted getting the attention of
the few customers.
Arianaughed humorlessly, “it was your duty and it was one you didn’t do well.” She red with
coldness, “If I can recall, your precious daughter said something simr.”
Pretending as if she was thinking, she touched her chin while looking at the ceiling, “Yes I
remember. Let me tell you what she said when you wanted me to marry Johnson.”
She coated, “Sister, what is wrong with getting married? Father and mother had been taking care
of you for years. This is you paying them back.”
Ashton was stun. Ariana always have aeback for any argument.
“Now you see father, you and your wife took care of only Gina. So who should be repaying you?
Definitely not me.”
Ashton couldn’t find aeback.
Ariana continued while getting up, “I have nothing else to say to you. I am leaving and please do
not disturb my life anymore.”
