Chapter 168 A Dramatic Change
"Stop it! You!" Isaac took a step forward and stopped the men.
The pills and water were almost stuffed into their mouth and as they suddenly stopped, the water was
sshed onto the two women''s clothes.
They stopped and Isaac sent them back.
Valerie and Ashlee copsed onto the ground with great fear.
Darren was surprised yet also confused why Horace would ask his men to stop.
And he didn''t think too much and untied Ashlee. With one hand supporting her and another supporting
Valerie, he helped the two stand up.
"Darren!" Ashlee sensed that she was saved. She pressed her head on Darren''s chest and burst into
tears.
Valerie also began to sob. She was so scared. She was almost drugged and raped and if it was known
to someone else, she would have been ruined. Glenn might abandon her and drive her out of the
family.
ra was also stunned. She had no idea what happened to Horace. What made him change his mind?
What happened? Or did he forgive her in a moment of sympathy?
No emotion was written on Horace''s dark face. He turned to ra and suddenly whispered to her in an
apologetical voice, "Sorry, I''m afraid that I couldn''t do this to Ashlee anymore."
Why did Horace let them go that easily?
ra was quite confused why the phone call would make Horace decide to stop the punishment. It
wasn''t like him.
Horace also noticed the confusion on her face. But he couldn''t torture Ashlee anymore.
He took ra''s hand and said, "I''ll exin to youter, ra."
Horace was also shocked as he heard the information from Isaac. It had never urred to him that it
was Ashlee.
Horace said to Isaac, "Let them go. And you should stay here taking care of ra. Find me in the
hospital after you sent her back home."
Hearing that, Darren quickly took Ashlee and Valerie away.
Horace also followed them and left.
It was quite cold in this freezer room. Horace left ra alone here, which made ra feel even colder.
Horace even abandoned her here and left here with Ashlee.
Isaac said to ra, "Let''s go, Mrs. Kirnd. I will send you home."
ra nodded.
On their way back home, ra asked Isaac, "What happened? Why did Horace change his mind?"
"That''s because…" Isaac said with hesitation, "I think maybe you''d better ask Mr. Kirnd."
Now ra knew that it might have something to do with Horace''s past and it was inappropriate for her
to ask more.
Though she didn''t want to witness Ashlee being tortured, she was still eager to know what happened to
Horace.
The idea kept haunting her in her mind.

Would Horace dump her just like what Darren did?
It was indeed a ridiculous idea. But she cared about Horace so much. She had already lost Darren and
she wouldn''t let her Horace be stolen again.
Now ra was staying at home alone. Horace didn''t call her and she had no idea when he would
After the cook finished her work, ra asked her to leave.
ra checked her phone and found that what Ashlee did two years ago had been revealed to the
public. It must be Horace who instructed all media in Stratmont to write such articles.
Luckily, Horace found out the truth. Otherwise, ra might have been the target for ming for another
a few years. Justice dyed is justice denied.
It was already 11 at night and Horace still didn''t send any message to her. ra didn''t want to call and
disturb him.
ra checked her Facebook and found that it was filled withments cursing Ashlee and her mother
and she started to get tired of it. The two women had received enough punishment.
And she saw the user "Back2Past" checked her page again and even liked several of her posts. It was
indeed a mysterious man for ra and she then followed that user.
ra spent a lot of time online and had been waiting for Horace until midnight. The whole room was
reigned by dead silence.
And there was still no message sent by Horace.
ra put down her phone and then picked it up again and again, wondering whether she should call
Horace or not. It was already quitete at night and she didn''t know whether he had had his dinner or
not. Maybe he had encountered some danger…
ra gradually fell asleep and when she woke up, it was already another day.
The moment she got up, she checked her phone and found that there was still no message.
She asked a day off yesterday and today Horace was not at home so ra got to GLAM early at
morning.
As she arrived at GLAM, she found Darren, who had just arrived and looked quite tired.
Darren saw the dark circles around her eyes and asked her, "Are you alright? You seemed not to have
slept well."
ra smiled and said, "You also looked quite tired."
They both halted for a few seconds and then suddenly opened their mouth to say two different names,
which made them both smiled awkwardly.
"Horace…"
"Ashlee…"
Darren saw ra have something to say and then said, "Shall we have a talk in my office?"
ra followed Darren into his office.
Darren poured ra a cup oftte, her favorite, and said, "I remember you lovette."
ra nodded, "I''m surprised that you still remember."
"I never forget it."
When they were still impecunious college students, Darren had taken her to a coffee shop and bought
her a cup of coffee. Darren just sat there with a smile on his face watching her drinking the coffee.
He told ra that he would build her arge coffee house and collect all kinds of coffee in that for her
to drink.
By then she thought it was a mere joke. But now she knew that Darren was actually capable of doing
so.
To not let herself indulge in the past, ra quickly changed the topic, "By the way, where is Ashlee and
Valerie now? And what about Horace?"
Darren said, "Just m down, okay? Have a cup of coffee and I''ll answer your question one by one."
ra was not in the mood to drink coffee. But she didn''t want to refuse Darren''s kindness and took a
sip.
Darren said, "Horace had sent Valerie abroad to an underdeveloped country so that she wouldn''t
bother you anymore. She had ruined herself. Horace would ensure that she wouldn''t live a happy life in
her declining years."
