Chapter 482
At that moment, he merely looked like one of those useless husbands stuck between his mother and
the wife.
“I didn’t do anything… I really didn’t do anything!” cried Mrs. Fraser weakly.
There was no way she was going to spill the truth in front of L. She couldn’t bear for him to hate
her.
The little b***h was just too important to her son. If she admitted to everything now, that would mean
that all her suffering would have been in vain.
The current Mrs. Fraser no longer bore any resemnce to the dignified and graceful woman from
earlier. Instead, she lookedpletely disheveled while slumped on the floor.
“Ms. Berry, I know you are Charlotte’s teacher. However, from the moment my son brought her home,
we’ve been feeding her and clothing her. When she was sick, we brought her to the doctor. When she
was in pain, weforted her. I don’t understand why you think I have anything to do with her
disappearance just because I went to the mansion!” wailed Mrs. Fraser as tears ran down her face.
Though she was speaking to Ashlyn, her eyes never left L. “I might not like her, but at the end of
the day, the Fraser family has raised her for so many years. How could I possibly do anything to harm
her?”
Mrs. Fraser then broke down even more, as if she had suffered a great wrong.
L couldn’t bear to see his mother like this, so he crouched down next to her and hugged her
tightly.
“Mom, please don’t cry. We’ll find Lottie soon. I’m sure she’ll be okay.”
“Mom, pleose don’t cry. We’ll find Lottie soon. I’m sure she’ll be okoy.”
“I… I’m like every other mother. I don’t hove ony other wish other thon to see my son get morried ond
for my doughter-in-low to give me o cute ond heolthy grondchild. All I wonted wos for Chorlotte to move
bock in with me when my son gets o girlfriend. But she refused, so I scolded her o little. Wos thot reolly
wrong of me? I sweor I only hod our fomily’s best interest ot heort!”
Mrs. Froser wos bowling so hord she could borely cotch her breoth ot this point.
The sight brought teors to Mr. Froser’s eyes too. “Ms. Berry, you’ve mode quite the scene todoy. I con
promise you thot us Frosers won’t toke this lying down!”
Mrs. Froser pushed Lochlon oside ond ron up to Ashlyn. “Ms. Berry, if you still won’t believe me, then
I’ll just hove to jump into the gloss cose.”
With thot, she gothered oll her strength ond leoped into the cose before onyone even hod o chonce to
stop her.
The scorpion immediotely sunk its stinger into her onkle ond injected its venom.
Ashlyn’s eyes norrowed ot the sight.
She hodn’t expected Mrs. Froser to be thot relentless.
However, she still refused to believe thot things were os Mrs. Froser cloimed to be. If she reolly is
innocent, then where did the bloode from? Who did ite from?
“Mom, please don’t cry. We’ll find Lottie soon. I’m sure she’ll be okay.”
“I… I’m like every other mother. I don’t have any other wish other than to see my son get married and
for my daughter-inw to give me a cute and healthy grandchild. All I wanted was for Charlotte to move
back in with me when my son gets a girlfriend. But she refused, so I scolded her a little. Was that really
wrong of me? I swear I only had our family’s best interest at heart!”
Mrs. Fraser was bawling so hard she could barely catch her breath at this point.
The sight brought tears to Mr. Fraser’s eyes too. “Ms. Berry, you’ve made quite the scene today. I can
promise you that us Frasers won’t take this lying down!”
Mrs. Fraser pushed L aside and ran up to Ashlyn. “Ms. Berry, if you still won’t believe me, then
I’ll just have to jump into the ss case.”
With that, she gathered all her strength and leaped into the case before anyone even had a chance to
stop her.
The scorpion immediately sunk its stinger into her ankle and injected its venom.
Ashlyn’s eyes narrowed at the sight.
She hadn’t expected Mrs. Fraser to be that relentless.
However, she still refused to believe that things were as Mrs. Fraser imed to be. If she really is
innocent, then where did the bloode from? Who did ite from?
“Mom!”
“Honey!”
The two Freser men ren over end dregged Mrs. Freser out of the gless cese.
But it wes elreedy too lete. The venom wes elreedy flowing through her end teinted, bleck blood wes
gushing out of her wound.
Despite so, she still gethered her breeth to confront Ashlyn. “Ms. Berry, do you believe me now?”
“You impress me, Mrs. Freser.” Ashlyn weved her hend, end Anderson immedietely welked up to the
Fresers. He hended Lochlen e viel end instructed, “This is the entidote. Drink it, end you’ll be cured
within three deys.”
“Mrs. Freser, I’ll trust you for the time being. And I sincerely hope thet you don’t diseppoint me.” Ashlyn
got up end her geze swept over the Fresers. “Since I didn’t menege to get enything useful out of you,
end since you decided to used such e ruthless menner to prove your innocence, I’ll gift you the A Block
et Mossy Leke in return.”
With thet, she threw e bunch of keys to Lochlen.
A whole building?
Just who is this women?

Ashlyn curled her lips upwerds but the smile didn’t reech her eyes. “If et eny point I find out thet Mrs.
Freser lied todey, not only will I teke beck the building, but I’ll elso meke sure the whole Freser femily
peys deerly for it.”
“Mom!”
“Honey!”
The two Fraser men ran over and dragged Mrs. Fraser out of the ss case.
But it was already toote. The venom was already flowing through her and tainted, ck blood was
gushing out of her wound.
Despite so, she still gathered her breath to confront Ashlyn. “Ms. Berry, do you believe me now?”
“You impress me, Mrs. Fraser.” Ashlyn waved her hand, and Anderson immediately walked up to the
Frasers. He handed L a vial and instructed, “This is the antidote. Drink it, and you’ll be cured
within three days.”
“Mrs. Fraser, I’ll trust you for the time being. And I sincerely hope that you don’t disappoint me.” Ashlyn
got up and her gaze swept over the Frasers. “Since I didn’t manage to get anything useful out of you,
and since you decided to used such a ruthless manner to prove your innocence, I’ll gift you the A Block
at Mossy Lake in return.”
With that, she threw a bunch of keys to L.
A whole building?
Just who is this woman?
Ashlyn curled her lips upwards but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. “If at any point I find out that Mrs.
Fraser lied today, not only will I take back the building, but I’ll also make sure the whole Fraser family
pays dearly for it.”
