A Love Trap novel Chapter 164

Ashley's lips moved slightly, but she didn't reply. Her face was a blank slate, and there was no trace of guilt or anxiety on her. Peggy found Ashley's silence as defiance and that she didn't intend to admit that she had stolen Lena's engagement ring. This kind of indifferent attitude irritated Peggy to a high degree. Slowly, she began raising her hand, readying herself to slap Ashley. "Since you refuse to admit your crime, I am here to teach you a lesson. Let me show you how thieves are treated in this society!"

What Peggy did was so abrupt that it stunned Ashley so much. She had no time to dodge. When Peggy's palm was about to hit her face, Ashley closed her eyes tightly. Knowing the woman, she knew that Peggy would slap her with all her strength.

"Ouch!"

Upon hearing Peggy screech in agony, Ashley became very confused. If the slap didn't land on her face, what happened?

Still cautious, Ashley opened her eyes slowly and found a familiar figure in front of her. A tall man was shielding from Peggy's wrath.

Peering from behind the man, Ashley saw that the man was tightly grasping Peggy's hand, making it unable to move.

"Are you hurt?" the man asked Ashley in a low voice. Stunned, Ashley shook her head slightly.

Not one bone in her body expected Andrew to come and protect her.

Seeing Ashley okay and not hurt in any way, Andrew heaved a sigh of relief and turned his eyes to Peggy, the woman who had intended to slap Ashley.

When her hand was about to land on Ashley's face, he felt his heart stop beating. Ashley was the only woman he loved and spoiled. He even couldn't bear to talk to her loudly. But just now she was almost beaten by this barbaric woman!

Fortunately, he arrived in time. Otherwise, he couldn't imagine what would have happened.

"Damn it! Who are you? Mind your own business! Don't you know who I am? Let me go!" Peggy's wrist was starting to turn red, and she had started writhing in pain. Andrew's grasp on her was so tight that she felt that her wrist was going to break. Her face was already twisted and she glared at Andrew fiercely. "I'm the matriarch of the Mu Group. How dare you, a mere nobody, treat me this way! I won't let you off easily! I will make your life a living hell!"

Peggy threatened with great contempt, trying to shake off Andrew's hand.

After hearing Peggy's harsh words, Cora frowned but said nothing.

Since she really didn't like Ashley, the filthy girl who had the audacity to seduce her son, she decided to not stop Peggy from teaching her a lesson.

Amidst everything Peggy was saying, Andrew didn't flinch. Instead, he stared at Peggy calmly, his eyes black and without any emotion. Peggy's blood ran cold and she couldn't help but shiver. It felt like she was being stared at by a venomous snake.

Johnny was relieved to see Andrew arrive. 'Fortunately, Mr. Lu arrived in time.'

A sigh of relief escaped his mouth. However, he was shocked when he heard what Peggy said to Andrew. 'What a foolish lady!' he thought to himself as he looked on at what was happening.

'She won't let Mr. Lu off? She will make his life a living hell? How dare she say that? What made her think that she could do those things?' No one dared to talk to Andrew like that since he became the president of the Lu Group, and a nobody from the Mu Group would not be able to change that.
