Chapter 870


    Online public opinion has be strange. Manyizens have started to denounce obsessive fans.


    Instead, fewer people are paying attention to scandals like fights.


    Ashlyn stood at the back of the crowd wearing a mask, trying to minimize her presence by shrinking


    into a corner. She was the first person to incite those fans, but after those girls went crazy, she


    immediately hid in the crowd. Seeing that things didn''t develop in the direction she wanted them to go,


    she felt resentful.


    Why could Sylvia avoid danger again without even showing up? After Abduh was fired from his job


    and Kinley lost her marriage directly through divorce with him.


    Sylvia''s "The Beggarly Girl Is A Noble Lady" was immediately approved for release. It was lightning


    fast! The Ritter family were all going crazy about it, especially Mrs. Ritter and Ashlyn.


    Why did they lose so much while Sylvia seeded smoothly? While everyone was interviewing


    Simeon and Eden on stage during their dance performance at the event, Ashlyn quietly slipped away

    outside.


    After leaving the press conference venue, she took an elevator directly down to the underground


    garage and drove away while talking on the phone with Mrs. Ritter. "This is terrible! They gave this


    movie free publicity again."


    Mrs. Ritter couldn''t help but scold her. "You''re really something else! Why did you act alone without


    consulting me? Originally there wasn''t much buzz around their scheduled press conference; trending


    topics were ranked at rock bottom. You went over there and stirred up trouble; your operation skills are


    amazing - you pushed them straight up to trending topic number one - all of trending topics are about


    this movie now! You''re driving me insane!"


    Wasn''t this intentionally advertising Sylvia''s movie? Not only that but also helping Eden and Poppy


    solidify their image as a couple...


    "Ashlyn, you''ve lost big time with this move."


    "Mom..." Ashlyn felt even more upset after being analyzed by Mrs. Ritter like that.


    She talked on phone while driving until suddenly out of distraction she saw a motorized tricycle rushing


    out from an intersection.


    "Ahh!" She screamed as she mmed on brakes hard then turned sharply but only heard a loud bang


    as her car crashed heavily into a flower bed by roadside!


    The old man on the motorized tricycle was also startled. He saw the car rush past and violently collide


    with the flower bed on the side of the road, shattering all of its cement.


    If it had hit his tricycle...


    Would he have been killed instantly?


    Mrs. Ritter heard a scream and her heart tightened in an instant. "Ashlyn? Ashlyn? What''s wrong?


    What happened?"


    She rushed out in panic, "Driver, driver! Go fast!"


    At this moment, Ashlyn did not hit the motorized tricycle but collided with the flower bed instead. The


    front of her car was deformed and emitting thick smoke.


    Her forehead mmed into the windshield heavily and at that instant, her airbag deployed.


    Blood flowed down her forehead onto the steering wheel as intense pain made it feel like every organ


    in her body was about to burst.


    She frowned as everything around her became blurry. She tried to open the car door but couldn''t


    muster any strength.


    Many passersby and vehicles stopped to watch due to this ident while some called for an


    ambnce or police respectively.


    After more than ten minutes had passed, both police officers and paramedics arrived at different times


    while that old man cooperated by giving a statement before being released once they confirmed he


    wasn''t involved in any wrongdoing.


    When Mrs. Ritter arrived at hospital half an hourter, she anxiously waited in a white corridor while


    police officers conducted investigations including reviewing Ashlyn''s driving recorder data which


    ultimately revealed she caused this traffic ident by talking on phone while driving thus taking full


    responsibility for it herself.


    "Fortunately no one got hurt but if that old man had been hit then he would be critically injured now,"


    said one serious-looking officer to Mrs. Ritter who felt angry hearing such words because she worried


    about Ashlyn''s condition so much. "How can you say that? My daughter is lying inside emergency room


    right now! If anything happens to her, I won''t let go of that old man!"


    "He was just walking normally across street when your daughter ran over there herself hitting flower


    beds," replied another officer annoyed by Mrs. Ritter''s unreasonable behavior.


    Mrs. Ritter was about to burst outughing, "There was no traffic light at that intersection, so my


    daughter didn''t run a red light! If he hadn''t rushed out, would my daughter have had an ident?"


    "It''s all his fault. He shouldn''t have appeared on that road! He shouldn''t have crossed the street


    suddenly!"


    The police officer was so angry that his liver hurt. "You''re being unreasonable."


    "Forget it, let''s go back first." Another police officer pulled his arm and couldn''t reason with this woman.


    Just then, the emergency room door opened and Ashlyn was pushed out.


    "Ashlyn, Ashlyn, oh my God! Where is her hair? What did you do to her?" Mrs. Ritter rushed over and


    screamed in shock.


    She couldn''t believe what she saw in front of her - Ashlyn lying unconscious on the hospital bed with


    her beautiful hair shaved off haphazardly. Almost all of it had been shaved off except for a ring of hair


    around the bottom of her head. Mrs. Ritter was so angry she almost fainted.


    Why did her daughter end up like this after just going out for a walk?


    How could Ashlyn face people in the future?


    The doctor nced impatiently at Mrs. Ritter''s shrewish face; they had been working tirelessly in the


    emergency room without any gratitude from her butints instead.


    "Mrs. Ritter," exined one nurse reasonably to Mrs. Ritter, "your daughter has suffered head injuries


    which require stitching up; we need to shave off some hair or else blood won''t stop flowing causing


    more harm than good."


    After exining everything, they continued pushing Ashlyn towards the ward.


    "She is now out of danger but has some external injuries which are not serious; we need to observe for


    12 hours and if she wakes up please call us immediately." The doctor gave some instructions before


    leaving abruptly.


    Mrs. Ritter sat down dazedly on a chair in the ward wondering how things turned out like this.


    At Aettosa Presidential Pce,


    A beautiful woman led a group of cab members towards President''s office wearing a fiery red suit


    paired with high heels making herself look stunning while exuding an aura powerful enough for others


    to admire.


    "Secretary Lucille," said a middle-aged man nodding respectfully as he bowed slightly before


    addressing her, "We have solid evidence against the Hipps family yet the President still hasn''t given


    orders."


    "re deserves to be punished. As a count''s son, hemitted such a heinous act that is shocking,"


    one man said with a cold face.


    "Yes, we should immediately write to the President and have him order sanctions against the the Hipps


    family and execute re!" another man eximed angrily.


    Among these people were members of other noble families, some of whom were enemies of the Hipps


    family, and others who simply disliked them. The Hipps family was well-known for their power and


    influence in controlling the Air Force Department, making many envious eyes turn towards them.


    "I will report this matter to the President; everyone please calm down for now." Lucille reassured them


    all before heading towards the President''s office door where she stopped just outside it without moving


    further forward. A male assistant quickly stepped forward on her behalf knocking on it before hearing


    an invitation from inside. "Come in!" Re?d at Dr?mа?оvеls


    Lucille opened up wide doors revealing an extremely bright room where a middle-aged man sat behind


    hisrge desk looking up slowly at Lucille''s pretty face which showed signs of fatigue as he rubbed his


    forehead tiredly asking. "You''re here."


    After massaging him for some time, Lucille released her hands and asked softly, "Are you feeling better


    now?"


    The President let out a long sigh. "That''s much better." He nced at Lucille, his eyes weary. "You''re


    here for the Hipps family, aren''t you?"


    Lucille smiled coyly. "We''ll follow your decision on everything. remitted a crime that cannot go


    unpunished."


    Her words were vague and not very clear, but everyone knew what she meant.


    The President sighed heavily again, looking suddenly much older than before. He handed a document


    to Lucille. "Pass this down."


    Lucille raised an eyebrow and picked up the document to read it. It only had a fewrge words. "re


    will be executed by firing squad tomorrow at noon!"
