A Love Trap

Chapter 343 Lena's Fate

Clyde replied, "Either way, it doesn't matter. We already canceled the wedding. Let's go home to see Raymond."

Cora replied, "Right! Raymond! I don't know how he's doing now. He didn't look good. It was all Lena's fault! Did you see what she did to Raymond? Oh! I have to remind you! You can't do business with the Mu Group anymore! What Lena did was terrible! I'm so angry with her! Her family has to pay for it!"

Clyde replied, "Okay! Just relax. I'll do whatever you say." When he spoke, his voice was loving and seemingly conniving.

In the Mu family's house, Spencer looked at Lena, who was still kneeling on the floor even after Cora and Clyde had left.

His face was still red in anger. He asked, "Tell me! Were Cora telling the truth? Did you do those horrible things?"

She simply admitted, "I did."

"What a scoundrel!" he cursed.

Then he scolded, "I told you to stay away from him! Don't you know who he is? He's the successor of the Lu family, the most powerful family in the J City. We can't afford to cross him!

I can't believe this! I have to butter him up. But you! How could you even try to seduce him? You went as far as abort your baby. Look at what you've done! Are you happy now?"

As he thought of how it was Lena's fault that he lost the Luo Group as his partner, he only got angrier.

Peggy was angry with Lena too. She too looked mad. After Lena got engaged, she'd been showing off to others about how bright Lena's future was.

Now, she was going to be the biggest joke.

And her friends would ask her about it. They would ask her how it happened. She didn't even know how to tell them so she wouldn't feel more embarrassed.

Peggy commented, "Why do I have a daughter like you?"

None of them noticed the tears in Lena's eyes. She kept her head low. And her body straightened even as she was kneeling on the floor.

Lena suddenly felt as if her parents didn't even care about her and only cared about themselves.

She realized how little she meant to them.

She was nothing but a way for them to build a bond with the Luo family.

If she was of use to them, they loved her and spoiled her. But when she didn't provide them with anything, they just ignored her.

She pursed her lips and held her tears back. Kneeing on the floor, she didn't utter a single word.

She knew no matter what she said, it was not going to do her any good.

Ron looked at Lena. As he thought of what Cora said, he couldn't bring himself to pity her.

He couldn't understand why she would hurt Ashley that way.

Her reason wasn't enough for him. He couldn't understand why she would sleep with Ashley's boyfriend and consequently stole him away from her just because she was jealous.

Ron didn't have the heart to talk to her. He wanted her to think about what she had done.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He turned to his parents and suggested, "Dad, Mom, I think it will be a good idea to send Lena out the country."

Spencer replied, "Out the country? Why would I do that? Why do you think that's a good idea? The Luo family just canceled the marriage. She can't leave the country now! Do you have any idea what people would say? They'd say that it was her fault the marriage was canceled!"

He spoke as if Lena was a saint and hadn't done anything wrong.

Peggy agreed with Spencer. She commented, "That's right! Why do you want us to send her abroad?"

Ron thought for a moment. He knew it would be good for Lena's reputation and their family's reputation. This was the best way to address Ashley's issues too. Whatever Ashley thought and felt was going to dictate what Andrew was going to do next.

Andrew was going to get his revenge on the Mu family and Lena. Ashely was the only one who could stop him.

Even though Ron had only met Andrew once, he knew how cold-blooded and merciless he could be.

As he looked Lena, he decided to tell his parents what she had done at the hospital.

Based on how they had dealt with Andrew's rage before, he already knew what his parents were going to decide.

"What? What did you just say? Ashley's going to sue Lena. Is that for real? How dare she! Does she not know that she's part of the Mu family? No matter who she's married to, she's still part of our family! She can't just abandon us like that. If the public finds out, she won't have a place anymore in J City! She can't do that!" Spencer protested. If Ashley really did break her relations with the Mu family, J City might see her as some heartless woman who abandoned the family that raised her.

Upon hearing this, Peggy glanced at Spencer. Then she lowered her gaze, panicking as her heart was racing. She kept tugging at the corner of her shirt.

She really didn't know what to do. She should have told him about Ashley in the first place. She couldn't believe they were talking about this right now.

Ashely was no longer the part of the Mu family. When they tried to force her into a marriage she didn't want, she'd cut them off completely. Ashley's name had already been removed from the household register of the Mu family.

Peggy thought Ashley was joking and she would come back later to bag for her forgiveness. However, Ashley even recorded the conversation they had. Peggy wasn't see that coming.

She cursed Ashley in her heart for what Ashley had done.

If Ashley knew what was on Peggy's mind, she would have fought back.

All she did was protect herself. They had promised her so many things but they never kept their promises. She recorded it just in case.

Lena, Peggy, and Ron didn't respond to Spencer. They knew what was going on. They couldn't even look at Spencer except for Ron, who was looking at him strangely. When he had just come back, Ashley told him she'd been kicked out of the family. However, it seemed as if Spencer didn't know anything about it.

Ron frowned. He replied, "Dad. Ashley's been cut off from the Mu family. Didn't you know that? Why are you..."

Spencer interrupted him, "How could she be cut off from her family? She's still a Mu. I haven't agreed to cut her off. How can you say that?"

Ron knitted his eyebrows together. He didn't know what was going on.

Spencer was in the dark about everything.

When Peggy saw that Ron was about to open his mouth again, she chimed in, "Ron, could you take Lena upstairs first? I have to talk to your father. We're going to send Lena abroad. You can decide where she goes. She needs to start packing. You can help her with that."

Ron merely nodded as he pulled Lena upstairs.

When they were gone, Peggy asked the servants to leave before turning to Spencer. "Spencer, I have to tell you something."

Spencer replied, "What is it? What is so important you have to send all the servants away?"
