Chapter 447 Shameless
Chapter 447 Shameless
“As a lawyer, you should mow words can result in legal consequences, Ashley,” Beathan calmly stated.
He continued, “You were drunk, covered in vomit, and I didn’t know where your home was. Since everyone at your law firm had gone home, I had to bring you to the hotel to rest. I did nothing wrong. Even your clothes were changed by the service staff. I followed all the rules.”
“I wasn’t drunk! You drugged me!” Ashley retorted indignantly.
“People who are drunk never admit it,” replied Beathan calmly.
Ashley checked her body and found no signs of having been taken advantageof.
She entered a state of surprising calmness and figured out that Beathan had planned it all.
d by her body. Even if she went for a blood test, nothing would be found.
He did not violate her or assaulted her. On top of that, the drugs in her drink had already been metabolized by her body. Even He wouldn’t face any charges even if she reported it to the police or sued him.
This is how lawyers commit crimes. They leave no trace, minimizing any risk to themselves.
The knocking outside continued, growing louder. Ashley glanced at the door, having a hunch that it was probably Elias outside
“What are you trying to achieve by doing this? What’s your plan? Are you trying to make Elias think something happened between us so that he will divorce me?” Ashley sneered.” Have you considered that I still won’t be with you even if I’m divorced? Just looking at you now makes me feel sick!”
With a snap, Beathan set down his drink and strode over, gripping her chin firmly.
“If I make you feel sick, what about Elias? Take a look for yourself!” He threw a stack of photos at her. “Polaroids with dates on them, so don’t accuse me of falsifying or tampering with the dates!”
Ashley pushed his hand away but couldn’t resist looking at the photos.
The photos were exactly what Beathan had described at the gastropub. They were evidence of Elias spending the New Year with bikini–clad beautiful women on a fishing trip.
Under the clear blue skies, a luxurious yacht was setting sail.
The camera captured a table full of seafood with three cases of fine wine underneath it There were sexy women by the table, and so was the cocky and arrogant Elias.
In the picture, he was sporting beach shorts and a white shirt with buttons undone halfway down. The seawater on his pecs glistened under the sun’s rays.
His damp short hair was pushed back, revealing his smooth forehead. He was wearing sunglasses, which made him look both relaxed and satisfied.
Beside him were two women barely clad in bikinis, their ample bosoms almost touching his arms.
Upon closer inspection through his tinted sunglasses, one could tell that he was a carefree player in the game of life.
Beathan smirked. “They spent three days and two nights on a small island. Do you think Elias didn’t do anything with these women? You can’t stand me having an affair when we were dating, but can you tolerate him cheating when you’re married?”
Ashley’s expression remained indifferent as Beathan slightly loosened his collar. “So tell me, do you think he can tolerate you potentially having an affair?”
With that, he opened the door that was about to be pounded down,
Elias’s eyes were filled with hostility and aggression
After he spotted Ashley on the bed, he kicked Beathan hard in the abdomen.
As soon as the door slammed shut behind him, the two men immediately began to brawl without restraint, fists meeting flesh.
Ashley didn’t even glance at them. Adults must take responsibility for their actions and face the consequences. Whatever they chose to do was their own decision.
All she did was carefully examine each photo, not missing any details.
Finally, in one of the pictures, she spotted a hickey on Elias’s neck.
Ashley scrutinized it for a long time.
As soon as she confirmed that it was indeed a hickey, the last sliver of doubt in her mind disappeared.
She got off the bed, walked out, and emotionlessly said, “Keep fighting, you guys. If you continue fighting, I’ll call the police.”
Beathan, who was quite disheveled, kicked Ehas away. He sat on the ground and wiped blood from his mouth.
Elias wanted to rush at him again, but Ashley said, “If you hit him again, we’re getting a divorce.”
Despite being furious, Elias burst into laughter.
He turned to her and said, “You want to divorce me for him? Ashley, have you forgotten what he’s done? When he cheated on you with other women, you were furious. Now that he’s comeback looking for you, you’re sticking to him like a loyal dog Can’t you fucki-”
He was interrupted as Ashley’s palm struck with his cheek
Chapter 448 On the Verge of Tears
Ashley’s slap landed hard, leaving a red mark on Elias’s fate and handsome face. He touched his cheek, more shocked than hurt. “You hit me because of him?”
ཅཟ ཟ ཟ ཆ ཆོ ཞེ
As she clenched her hands into fists, Ashley glared at Beathan and coldly commanded, “Get lost. Don’t ever let me see you in Capebatt City again.” Beathan didn’t respond, but he was willing to leave for now. Since his goal had been achieved, he didn’t mind giving them some space.
He got up from the floor and retied his bathrobe “Ashley, remember what I said.”
The moment Elias heard him call Ashley by her name, his violent tendencies flared up.
“Don’t let me see you in Capebatt City again?” he repeated to himself. He wouldn’t have spoken to him so politely.
Although he had warned Beathan last time, he still had the audacity to mess with Ashley in Capebart City, Ellas wasn’t going to let him leave unscathed.
At that moment, Elias was already deciding which arm of Beathan’s he would break.
Ashley turned to enter the room, but Elias grabbed her arm and pressed her against the wall. Then, he undid her robes.
“What are you doing. Elias?” she whispered loudly.
He didn’t respond
The knot on her robe was tied so tightly that it was incredibly difficult to undo. With his head down, he banged at it forcefully.
The bruises on his lips and cheeks from the fight made him look more like a wild hooligan, Eke a troublemaking, violent schoolyard bully.
Ashley was still feeling giddy, and she wasn’t in the mood to argue with him. Since he wouldn’t let her go despite her pushing and shouting at him, she slapped him again.
Her slap wasn’t hard this time, so Ellas ignored it
Finally, he undid her bathrobe and found that she was still wearing her undergarments. Like a dog, he sniffed her body for any unfamiliar scent before inspecting her body
He noticed a red mark on her collarbone, so he rubbed it repeatedly as he couldn’t tell if it was a hickey or not. Finally, he raised his head.
Unlike his usual carefree smile, his lips were pressed into a tight line. His fringe fell over his forehead, obscuring his eyes.
He asked her, “Did you forget you’re a married woman? I caught you with your ex at a hotel late at night. Instead of explaining, you slapped me, is that fair, Ash?”
Instead of responding, Ashley pushed him away with both hands.
She went to the bed, picked up the photos, and flung them at him. “Can you explain these?
Elias caught two of the photos, and the rest fell to the floor
He glanced at them and then looked at her intently. “Who gave these to you? Did Mr. Collins give this to you? So you saw these pictures and you came to a hotel with him to get back at me?”
Ashley said, “You’re changing the topic. Are these photos real? Answer me. Did you do it with them?
Elias found it absolutely absurd. “What about you? Did you do it with Mr. Collins?”
Ashley stared at him coldly, refusing to answer.
Since he was the one who betrayed their marriage first, shouldn’t he explain those photos first? Why should she explain her situation with Beathan when he didn’t explain himself?
Elias pressed his tongue against his cheek, his eyes gradually reddening. “Don’t you trust me at all?
“I’m a lawyer. I don’t trust free evaluation of evidence, only hard evidence.” Besides, Ashley had seen him get into a car with a young influencer.
Flies’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he tore the photos in half, then into quarters
His voice was hoarse as he said, “Fine, let’s say I did it.”
Then, his soft tone turned harsh. “But listen to me, Ashley. Even if I sleep with dozens of models, you can forget about getting a divorce!”
Ashley’s expression turned cold. “You think you can stop me from getting a divorce!”
Elias flung the torn pieces of paper into the air, which floated like an unmeltable snowstorm between them.
His eyes were bloodshot, almost on the verge of tears. “You can try it. Let’s see if your lawyer status holds up against my family’s power and money. Even if it’s in name only, you’ll stay as my wife until you die!”
He turned and left, slamming the door so hard it echoed through the entire floor
Ashley felt a sudden pain in her abdomen. She quickly sat down on the bed, her face pale.
Was it the baby? Was the baby in pain?
She grabbed her phone and dialed 911.
Elias sped away from the hotel, narrowly missing the arriving ambulance,
