1197 Shameless

Peter laughed maniacally. “That’s right! The news of my death, the token, and everything else was fabricated and planned by me. I wanted to take revenge on you and make you miserable to pay for deceiving me!

“Hah, when we were dating, you promised that I’d be the only one you loved for the rest of your life, and if I passed away one day, you’d die together with me. But what happened in the end?

“You heard that I died, but you’re still alive and well. Not only did you not kill yourself, but you even married another man!

“A shameless bitch like you deserves to die!

“But you finally got your retribution. You, your mother, and your brother were all kicked out by the Steeles, and you’re no longer an heiress of a noble family!

“Meanwhile, I’m now married to the only daughter of the helmsman of the Williams, and I’m living a very happy life! In the future, my father-in-law will pass on the position of helmsman to my wife, and my son will also become the helmsman!

“I’m now living much better than you! Hah, you’re just like garbage, and I’m a superior person that you can never measure up to. What makes you think I still have feelings for you?

“Not only am I going to be ruthless to you, but I’m going to continue taking revenge on you too. I will make you suffer for the rest of your life to pay for everything you’ve done!”

Peter roared agitatedly, his voice resounding throughout the room.

After hearing Peter’s agitated voice, everyone in the room was stunned.

As classmates, they obviously knew that Peter and Ashley had dated for a few years and that their relationship had lasted beyond graduation. At one point, there was even news of them getting engaged. Of course, the rumor eventually disappeared.

However, they had no idea what had happened between them, when they broke up, and why they did so.

After hearing Peter’s complaints, they finally understood what had happened.

Many of them had strange expressions.

Peter’s accusations didn’t make any sense…

And his reasoning was weird…

They knew that Peter had put in a lot of effort to win Ashley’s heart, which had made countless suitors of hers green with envy. Later, she had finally convinced her family to let them get married, but they heard that Peter had bailed on her during the engagement party. And now, he was accusing Ashley of deceiving him. The logic behind this was baffling…

Of course, these were only their inner thoughts, and they definitely wouldn’t say anything now.

No matter what, Peter had already become a winner in life. He had managed to marry Vanessa, the heiress of the Williams, and was about to reach the pinnacle of his life. They were sensible enough not to go against Peter at this juncture and stand on the side of Ashley, a fallen heiress.

Ashley was stunned.

She was really shocked by the self-righteousness and shamelessness of what Peter said.

At the same time, she truly regretted falling in love with a deranged person like Peter. Not only had she given him her heart and soul for a few years, but she had even almost taken her own life for his sake on multiple occasions.

At the thought of this, Ashley felt that she was an absolute fool!

The reason Peter hated her and wanted to take revenge on her was that her immediate family’s lives had gotten worse after her father’s death. They had fallen out of favor with the Steeles, so Peter could get few potential benefits from them.

Therefore, Peter accused her of deceiving him.

It was simply ridiculous!

Was there anyone in this world more ridiculous and shameless than Peter?

Worse still, Peter had abandoned Ashley for this absurd reason and even resented her. He had even used a death hoax to punish her and put her through immense agony.

Then he sucked up to another heiress and married her. But he blamed Ashley for marrying another man instead of dying for his sake.

It was simply the height of selfishness and shamelessness!

But she had been so blind that she had failed to see the true colors of this shameless and despicable man. Because of this man, she had put herself through endless torment and had been severely depressed for two years. She had even attempted suicide multiple times.

Ashley felt like a complete idiot!

She was on the verge of breaking down.

Endless regret and indignation surged in her heart.

Lucas looked at Peter coldly. “Someone as shameless as you is truly rare. You’re really something!”

Peter yelled angrily, “Shut up! Who do you think you are? This is between Ashley and me. It’s none of your business!”

At this point, Peter had long dropped his facade and revealed his rawest form in front of everyone. He was hot-tempered, uncouth, and deranged.

Everyone felt like he was a complete stranger.

Was the man in front of them really the Peter they had known for years?

Lucas retorted sternly, “Ashley is my sister. Of course I have to interfere with her affairs!”

What?

Sister?

What Lucas said left everyone dumbstruck.

Wasn’t Ashley Lucas’s wife? Why did she suddenly become his sister? What was going on?

Even Peter was dumbfounded. He asked with a frown, “What do you mean?”

Lucas said coldly, “Didn’t you accuse Ashley of being a shameless bitch for marrying another man? Let me tell you the truth!

“I’m not Ashley’s husband. In fact, including today, I’ve only met her three times! I treat her like my own sister.

“Just now, you mentioned that Ashley once said she wouldn’t live alone if you were gone, so you thought she should have died immediately after getting the news of your death. How absurd!

“Let’s not even talk about how your death was just a hoax you concocted with vicious intentions. There’s no need for Ashley to die for you at all. Back then, this foolish girl really did attempt suicide several times because of you. If her family hadn’t found her and sent her to the hospital in time, she would have passed away long ago!

“Moreover, even after being rescued, she suffered from crushing misery and developed severe depression over your death, which she took two years to overcome. Are you aware of all this?

“Are you proud that you almost killed her with your death hoax? What right do you have to blame Ashley?”

Lucas lashed out at Peter and revealed everything he knew, leaving Peter stunned for a moment. But he didn’t believe it at all.

Peter shouted even more hysterically, “That’s impossible! You’re making these things up to fool me!

“Ashley Steele… is a shameless bitch! Back then, she cheated me out of my feelings for four years. I did it to get back at her! It’s her retribution!”

“You’re lying about her suicide attempts and severe depression. This bitch has never cared about me!”
