1198 Ignoring Everything

Lucas sneered. “Is there a need for me to lie to you? Besides, with your current status, you can easily get the treatment records and diagnosis reports from a few years ago. It’s easy to find out!

“As for the relationship between Ashley and me, as long as you’re not blind, you can quickly figure it out. Do I need to lie to you about this?

“Do you know how ridiculous you look accusing her of deceiving you?”

Peter’s face darkened. Indeed, as long as he wanted, he could easily find out if Ashley had suffered from severe depression and whether or not she was married to Lucas.

But so what if these things were true?

!!

“Hah, what’s the point of you saying those things now? Regardless of whether Ashley has attempted suicide or not, the fact is that she’s still alive and well now!

“And the three of them have been kicked out by the Steeles. Isn’t that also a fact now?

“At the end of the day, it’s all because Ashley Steele is a liar! If she hadn’t told me that her brother would become the helmsman of the Steeles, how could I have wasted four years of my life?”

Peter berated righteously without feeling a tinge of guilt.

As long as he insisted that Ashley was wrong for deceiving him for years, the person at fault would be Ashley, and she deserved any retribution she encountered!

What Peter said angered Lucas. “You shameless bastard, you’re the real liar!

“You had an ulterior motive for getting close to Ashley in the first place. Have you ever truly loved her? All you want is to gain power and status through women!

“After Ashley experienced those unfortunate events and changes at home, you could no longer sponge off her, so you think you wasted your time and effort on her. That’s why you’re calling her a liar who cheated you out of your feelings. But is the truth really like that?

“You’re the one who cheated Ashley out of her feelings! During the years you dated, you had never been sincere about her. All you care about is your own benefits. You caused Ashley to waste several years of her feelings. You caused her to live in misery and suffer severe depression for years. You caused her to almost die several times.

“You’re the damn liar, and Ashley is the victim. You’re just a bastard who harms others as you please. What right do you have to blame Ashley?”

Ashley couldn’t help covering her mouth and crying.

What Lucas said completely expressed the grievances in her heart, making her weep.

She had thought that Peter was dead and that he had died after arguing with her. So she had blamed herself for his death and drowned herself in endless guilt and self-reproach all this time, causing her to suffer immense agony.

But when she saw Peter alive and well today, and after hearing his shameless words, she felt extremely aggrieved.

If it wasn’t because there were so many people here, she would have long burst into tears uncontrollably.

But Lucas’s accusations made the rest in the room gloomy.

In that case, it wasn’t that Ashley had cheated Peter out of his feelings but the other way around…

Because her immediate family’s status wasn’t as good as before and they no longer had any hope of obtaining the position of helmsman, he had abandoned her. He even turned around and accused her of deceiving him and faked his death to make her feel guilty, almost causing her to die. No matter what, Peter was the one at fault…

Although they disliked Lucas, they couldn’t refute what he said.

Ashley had dated Peter for years, but on the day of their engagement party, he had bailed on her and left without a word. Later, she had even attempted suicide several times because the news of his death hoax had left her utterly devastated. Regarding such a person, how could she possibly have cheated him out of his feelings?!

But due to the power and status that Peter and Vanessa now had, these thoughts only remained in their minds, and no one in the private room dared to step forward to stand up for Ashley.

What Lucas said made Vanessa feel extremely uncomfortable.

No matter what, Peter was her husband. And regardless of who was at fault in the past, she couldn’t allow outsiders to criticize her husband. After all, she was the heiress of the Williams, one of the eight top families of DC.

“Shut up!” Vanessa pointed at Lucas and yelled furiously. “Several years have passed since this matter. Who knows what the truth is? Did you witness what Ashley Steele did with your own eyes? Maybe they’re all lies she made up to put the blame on my husband!”

No matter why Peter dated Ashley and why they broke up, Vanessa had to save Peter from his current predicament.

As for the rest, she would naturally question him when they returned home.

Carrie quickly said, “Exactly! It’s already been several years since this matter, and only you two know the truth. Ashley, don’t you know if what you’re saying is fake or not? Maybe you and Lucas Gray made it up to fool us.”

Zoey hurriedly chimed in, “That’s right! Besides, I don’t think Ashley is a decent person either. She lied to us about being married to Lucas Gray. He just admitted that they had only met each other three times. They’re basically strangers.

“So, who knows whether Ashley is telling the truth or not? I bet she is just jealous that Peter found a wealthy and beautiful wife, so she deliberately cooked up those lies to slander him and come in between them.”

What Zoey said immediately made some people in the private room develop new ideas.

Silas sneered. “Zoey is right. Ashley is now down and out, and she’s no longer a wealthy heiress. Who knows what kind of malice she has for Peter. So she can’t be trusted at all!

“Besides, didn’t we just say that Lucas should be apologizing to Peter? He hasn’t apologized yet, so why are we talking about this?”

“Yeah, this punk offended Peter and still hasn’t apologized!”

“Exactly. Hurry up and apologize, or else you won’t be able to leave this room today!”

“Hahaha, you’re just a poor loser. What right do you have to be so arrogant in front of Peter and Vanessa? You’d better apologize immediately. Otherwise, we won’t let you off!”

All of a sudden, the focus was on Lucas again, and everyone was on Peter and Vanessa’s side as they demanded Lucas apologize.
