Chapter 324 Ashley''s Counterattack
"Oh, okay," said Ashley.
She took her phone out, found the saved recording, and then handed it over to Shea.
Shea took her phone and put it on the speaker. Then he pressed y for everyone to hear.
The room suddenly fell silent. Only the recorded voices could be hearding from the cell phone.
Since no one was talking, everyone heard the whole recorded conversation very clearly.
The recording onlysted several minutes. It was short, but it was enough to clear Ashley''s name.
What happened that day between Ashley and Lena waspletely different from the way the media
reported it in the news.
Johnny was shocked when he heard the recording. He never thought that Lena could be so ruthless.
The fact that she desired to be the wife of the CEO of the Lu Group surprised Johnny as well.
However, what really disturbed him was how she had sacrificed her unborn baby for such an unrealistic
dream. When the recorded conversation had ended, Johnny had a hard time recovering from what he
had just heard.
There was a saying that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. Johnny didn''t know how Lena could
do such a horrendous thing to her baby. He concluded that a crazy woman could be more frightening
than a man.
It was the second time that Andrew listened to the recording. He still couldn''t get over how despicable
Lena was, and he frowned. The loathing he had towards Lena had only be worse.
After the recording had ended, Shea asked, "Mrs. Lu, may I make a copy of this recording?"
Ashley felt a bit shy, being called "Mrs. Lu."
However, she replied, "Sure."
With Ashley''s permission, Shea sent the recording to his phone.
Then, he said, "Mrs. Lu, may I visit the other person in the recording?"
"Of course."
Andrew stroked Ashley''s hair andmented, "Johnny will go with you. There are some things that I
have to do. I''ll go to thepany first."
If Andrew could, he would go there with Ashley.
However, he had to take care of some business.
Ashley knew how busy Andrew was. She didn''t show any unhappiness on her face. She just nodded to
agree.
Thus, Johnny took Ashley and Shea to Lena''s room.
Thanks to Lena, Ashley knew the way to Lena''s ward. She had visited Lena several times in the past
few days.
Ashley nced at Shea, who had a straight face and looked serious. She couldn''t help but ask Johnny
in a low voice, "Is he good?"
Johnny could see the doubt in her eyes towards Shea. He didn''t quite know how to exin it to Ashley.
''Is Shea good?
He''s the CLO or Chief Legal Officer of the Lu Group and Mr. Lu''s personalwyer.
In his whole career, he had never lost a single court case.
The cases that he usually handled, involved millions of dors, '' Johnny thought. It was really hard for
Johnny to summarize howpetent Shea was with only using the word "good."
Ashley should already know that Andrew wouldn''t just find some ipetent randomwyer to handle
her case.
She really did worry too much.
So Johnny kept it simple and replied, "Miss Mu, do you trust Mr. Lu?"
Ashley didn''t understand the relevance as to why Johnny asked her such a question. Her question
seemed to have nothing to do with her trust in Andrew.
However, she still responded, "Of course, I do!"
"Then you should trust thewyer that Mr. Lu has assigned to represent you. Shea is Mr. Lu''s personal
lawyer and the CLO of the Lu Group," said Johnny confidently. He was not just a goodwyer. He was
the bestwyer that the city had.
His answer made Ashley go quiet. She didn''t utter a single word.
When Raymond saw theming, he stopped them just as Ashley had expected that he would.
Ashley had already visited Lena several times. Every time she did, Lena wasn''t able to sleep after her
visit. Raymond already had an idea that Ashley hade to cause trouble, especially since she came
with two other men.
Sensing Raymond''s attitude, Ashley felt a little awkward.
"Ashley, wasn''t it enough for you to hurt Lena''s feelings yesterday? Even if you don''t like Lena, don''t
you think you''ve crossed the line? What pleasure do you get from making her cry over and over
again?" asked Raymond with an angry tone.
Standing in front of the door, he looked at Ashley with hatred.
Ashley didn''t want to answer his question.
Raymond made it sound like she really just wanted to cause Lena trouble. If Lena hadn''t nned such
a horrible thing, Ashley wouldn''t even have wanted to see her.
Ashley wasn''t that stupid to want to socialize with Lena. But she needed toe and see Lena so she
could clear her name.
Heaving a heavy sigh, she replied, "I hope that you can still stand up for herter.
Today will be thest time that Ie and see her. I have to clear up onest thing with her. Then as
soon as I finish, I''ll leave immediately."
She didn''t want to say too much to Raymond. In her eyes, Raymond was just a dumb, naive guy who
was manipted by Lena.
Ashley stared at him while she waited for him to move aside and said, "Oh, if you don''t believe me, you
cane in with me to make sure of Lena''s safety."
A meaningful smile crept to her lips.
Ashley actually preferred Raymond to be there to hear the recording, as well.
She couldn''t wait to see the expression on his face
after he found out that it was his precious fiancee who killed his baby. And that she was fantasizing
about being with another man instead of him.
Raymond gave Ashley a harsh look.
In the past, he would have believed everything that Ashley said without any doubt.
However, he wasn''t the same person anymore. His mind had been manipted by Lena.
He believed Lena beyond a shadow of a doubt, no matter what.
Raymond resolved that Ashley couldn''t be trusted, so he decided to go in with them.
Ashley felt satisfied with his choice, and the smile on her face broadened.
Raymond walked in front of them. Lena was about to call out his name when she saw him, but the
words got stuck in her throat. When she saw Ashley and the two men following him into the room, the
smile on her face froze.
Staring at Ashley with wide eyes, she drew back her body and cowered in fear. Of course, Lena was
only putting on a show.
Lena was a little afraid of Ashley. Especially after what she had said to her over thest few visits. Lena
had also been making up stories to Raymond about how Ashley had been hurting her. So she had to
keep up with the whole act of being an innocent victim and gain his sympathy.
Looking at Ashley with fear in her eyes, she didn''t call out Ashley''s name like she did in the past visits.
She then looked at Raymond and asked in a feeble voice, "Raymond, what''s wrong?"

Seeing poor Lena huddled up in the corner like a frightened fawn, Raymond quickly walked over to her
and replied gently, "Don''t worry. Ashley just has to tell you one more thing. She will leave as soon as
she finishes. I''ll be here with you the whole time. Don''t be afraid."
Lena gave Ashley a second nce. When their eyes met, Ashley gave her a dirty look.
For some unknown reason, Lena sensed that something terrible was going to happen to her. She had
that bad feeling as soon as Ashley walked in, and it sent a shiver down her spine.
She really hoped that she was mistaken about it.
Lena hid in Raymond''s arms.
Seeing how scared Lena was, Raymond felt sorry for her. His anger, aimed towards Ashley, boiled up
inside of him. With irritation in his voice, he said to Ashley, "Go ahead, say whatever you need to, and
then leave her alone."
"Of course. Since you really can''t wait for another second, I won''t make you wait any longer," said
Ashley.
Then, she looked at Shea and said, "Mr. Xu, you may start."
Shea nodded and started to y the recording.
Lena snuck a peek at them from under Raymond''s arm. When she saw the determined look on their
faces, she knew in her gut that something horrible was about to happen.
