With that, he can get together with Ms. Warhol and marry a year and a half later. If they give birth to a child, Iâll finally be able to have a grandchild!
Mrs. Fraser thought that she had concealed her emotions well. However, unbeknownst to her, Ashlyn noticed all of her expressions.
âLooks like you donât plan on telling the truth, Mrs. Fraser. It doesnât matter. I love to teach a good lesson to liars.â Ashlyn clapped her hands.
Two men in black walked in, carrying a meter-long glass case.
The case was filled with vigorous venomous scorpions.
Each of them waved their huge pincers as if they were ready to clamp down on someoneâs skin and inject the venom into them.
The color from Mrs. Fraserâs smooth face was completely drained as she stared at the case.
She had never seen so many venomous scorpions in her life. Her heart pounded frantically against her chest.
She could not help but shriek, âTake them away! Take them away now! Who are you? Why are you causing a ruckus at my house? Iâm going to call the police. We live in a lawful society. The police will lock you up! Not only did you trespass on private property, but youâre also planning to torture us!â
The entire house was silent even after Mrs. Fraserâs screams.
All the servants had been restrained by Ashlynâs men.
With a cold smirk, she gazed at Mrs. Fraser. âIf you donât tell me the truth, Iâll let you play a game with these scorpions. How about that?â
âNo! You madwoman. Who the hell are you?â Mrs. Fraser widened her eyes and glared at Ashlyn.
âNo! You madwoman. Who the hell are you?â Mrs. Fraser widened her eyes and glared at Ashlyn.
Despite Mr. Fraserâs good temper, he could not help but become furious. âMiss, how did my family offend you? Why must you interrogate my wife like this?â
Ashlyn lowered her head, and her voice was laced with iciness. âYou donât deserve to know who I am. I just want to know where Charlotte is.â
âI donât know⦠I donât know where she went.â Mrs. Fraser shook her head vigorously. âYouâre asking the wrong person.â
âLooks like you want to do things the hard way, huh?â
Immediately, two men in black walked forward, grabbed Mrs. Fraser, and tried to push her towards the glass case filled with scorpions.
Mrs. Fraser turned pale as she screamed, âNo! No!â
âMom!â At that moment, Lochlan dashed in. âMs. Berry, what are you doing? Sheâs my mom, after all!â
âI need to ask her precisely because sheâs your mom.â Ashlynâs gaze landed on Lochlan before she gestured for her subordinates to continue.
The two men gripped Mrs. Fraser tightly. When her face was about to touch the largest venomous scorpion, she yelled loudly, âSave me, son! Save me!â
âMs. Berry, please spare my mom.â Lochlan did not expect himself to be involved with such a ruthless woman like Ashlyn.
He regretted asking Ashlyn to keep Charlotte company now.
Mrs. Fraser assumed that as the Fraser family was an influential and respected family in Lake City, Ashlyn would not dare to do anything to her.
However, she did not expect this young woman to be so ruthless!
Her eyes widened as she stared fearfully at the venomous scorpion, which was waving its pincers and preparing to pounce at her. Miserable howls escaped her mouth.
Sheer terror overwhelmed her, causing her mind to become completely blank.
âThis is the Fraser family. How dare you be so impudent? Who⦠Who are you? The Fraser family never offends anyone. How dare you treat my wife like this? How can the Fraser family hold our head high in Lake City anymore?â yelled Mr. Fraser furiously. He was so angry that his chest was heaving, unable to believe that he was being bullied by such a young woman.
âDadâ¦â Lochlan was about to speak when Mr. Fraser interrupted him, âStand at the side!â
Pointing at Ashlyn, he continued scolding, âI advise you to release my wife right away. Otherwise, donât blame me for being impolite.â
Usually, his orders would never be disobeyed regardless of whether he was in the company or at home.
He had never been threatened and disrespected before.
Regardless of his nice temper, after seeing how his wife had been mistreated like this, he couldnât help but feel his fury sprang to life at Ashlynâs ruthless actions.
Ashlyn glanced at Mr. Fraser. âI just want to know where Charlotte went. Itâs as simple as that.â
