Chapter 288
Charles put on his clothes with a confused expression before being led out of the room by the police
with Ashely trailing behind.
The two were pushed into a police car by the police.
Mason, who had been knocked out, also woke up and was taken outside by the police with a dazed
look on his face.
As he was pushed into the police car, Mason saw Ashley and Charles being brought out.
He was shocked when he saw their disheveled appearances and was trying to figure out what had
happened but a firm voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Bring the two of them back to the police station and interrogate them for the charges of a s*x trade!"
A s*x trade? Did Charles and Ashley sleep with each other ? Mason was so caught up in his thoughts
that the voices of the police faded out.
Meanwhile, Valeria had fallen asleep in Williams arms after a passionate night.
He kissed her face and wiped the sweat on her forehead before getting off the bed to grab his phone.
He had received a few messages from Marcus, "Mr.Howard, my men found out that Lamont brought
around ten men with him to Halcyon Hotel."
"l also found out that Archer had gotten in touch with the police as well.Lamont is working together with
Archer after all."
"Onest thing, we found Lucian when our men were following Archer around.We have always thought
she wasn''t in B City, it didn''t ur to us that the woman had been hiding here.If I hadn''t had Archer''s
men followed this evening, there would have been no sign of Lucian"
After reading a few messages from Marcus, William pondered for a moment and sent them back.

"I got it, make sure you don''t do anything yet to Lamont so that he won''t be too defensive.Also, Archer
must have heard about you dealing with the police when he went to meet with them as well.We
wouldn''t be able to deal with Archer''s cunning tricks if he decided to mess with us, so let''s be careful as
well."
Charles, Ashley and Mason were all released after a short interrogation.
Mason had been the first one to leave the police station, but all he could do was to stand in front of the
police station with a furious and humiliated expression when he watched the rising sun.
He didn''t believe that Charles would be interested in Ashley.
Ashley had slept with Mason before, and Charles had also slept with women who were way prettier
than Ashley, so Charles wouldn''t think of getting tangled up with her.
That b*tch, she must have seduced Charles! Ashley had seduced him when he had been drinking, and
she must have done the same to Charles this time as well.
How disgusting! Did Ashley want to get revenge on him by sleeping with Charles? Mason felt disgusted
by her actions and was determined to find the truth out from Ashley.
On the other hand, Ashley had been stunned when she found out that the man she slept with was
Charles.
What had happened to her all this time? Thest thing she remembered was fainting in the elevator,
and the next thing she knew she was lying on the bed with a man inside her.
She could not believe that the man she slept with was Charles as she had gone along with the flow and
gave in to her body''s demands at that time.
Did Charles order his bodyguards to kidnap her so that he could sleep with her? However, this
exnation did not make sense as Charles had slept with women that were a thousand times more
gorgeous than she was, so why would he resort to such measures to obtain her?
Ashley immediately concluded that Charles hadn''t nned their encounter, so who was the real
mastermind behind this? Could it have been Valeria? It couldn''t be, she had her own problems to deal
with, and she wouldn''t have the time and energy to carry out this n.
Ashley thought that the police had caught both her and Charles in bed as they were unlucky, however,
she did not know that her ns to deal with Valeria had failed.
Now that she slept with Charles, Charles would use his authority to make the police release her, so she
would not need to worry about what happened next.
Ashley decided to keep up a crying act in front of the interrogators, and sure enough, the police
released her the next morning.She sighed in relief and immediately hurried out of the police station
without worrying about her disheveled appearance.She had to rush home to inform Julie about this
incident.
However, Mason stopped her while she was leaving, "You shameless b*tch, how dare you seduce my
uncle!"
Ashley was shocked at his sudden questioning before chuckling coldly at his furious expression.
She had only seduced Mason in the past to mess with Valeria and to make sure that she had
connections with the Howard family.She had expected Mason to be sincere, but that shameless b*stard
had thrown her out of his home without any exnation.
Now that she had no rtionship with Mason, so she did not need to pretend to tter him nor hide her
hatred towards him.She smiled coldly, "Are you sure that I seduced him? It could have been the other
way round, right?"
"You did it on purpose, didn''t you, you b*tch?" Mason pped Ashley once she had finished her
sentence.
"I knew that you were a shameless b*tch, but I didn''t know that you would go this far just so you could
get your revenge against me."
"Revenge? Please, who cares about you?"
Ashley lunged towards Mason to defend herself, "How dare you throw me out without an exnation
after sleeping with me? Did you think that you could just ignore me after that?"
Ashley was not a gentlewoman, and she immediately punched Mason.
Mason had thought that Ashley was a gentle girl, so he did not expect Ashley to scratch his face until it
started bleeding.
Mason kicked and punched Ashley furiously while trying to defend himself, and the two of them ended
up fighting with each other outside the police station.
Charles had been let out in the middle of their fight, and he immediately rushed forward to pull them
apart, "Let go of each other! What are you doing?"
Mason immediately let go of Ashley as he was somewhat still afraid of Charles.
However, Ashley ignored Charles and pped Mason in the face instead.
"Stop it! You all would be in trouble if someone caught the both of you!"
Charles scolded before pausing slightly when he remembered what had happenedst night.
He turned to Mason and shouted, "Why are you just standing there? Let''s go home!"
Mason got into Charles’ car as his driver drove the car around, leaving Ashley on the roadside alone.
Ashley sneered at the car that was making its way out of the police station, "Ha! I seduced Charles
Howard? How ridiculous! Although it seemed that I was set up by someone, but now that it hase to
this, then..."
