Chapter 13 Show Me the Evidence
Mason was losing control due to his anger. He glowered at Valeria and shouted, "It was you! You are the one who had betrayed me first, and all I can do was just to pay you back, right?"
"Betrayed you?" Valeria looked at Ashley indifferently, who was standing aside gloatingly.
Ashley admitted that she had slandered Valeria yesterday. And that was why Mason thought Valeria had betrayed him.
Mason knew Valeria well. But now he chose to trust Ashley and believed that Valeria had betrayed him.
At first, Valeria was disheartened and did not want to quarrel with them. However, Mason had gone too far and she had to fight back.
So she looked at Mason ruthlessly and questioned, "Did you see it personally or just hear it from others?"
"Well, I can show you evidence!" Mason answered immediately.
"Oh, really? Then just show me!"
Mason couldn't believe that she dared ask him for evidence. He looked at Ashley, "Ashley, show her!"
Ashley was only trying to humiliate Valeria. She had never expected that things turned out like that.
She counterfeited the evidence and tried to sow discord between Mason and Valeria. If they took it seriously and investigated deeply, they would find out it was a lie.
Thinking about this, Ashley became a little panicked, "Hmm... Everyone's looking at us, and I'm afraid it'll be bad for Valeria if others find out."
"You don't have to worry about that. Just show me the evidence," Valeria sneered.
"Forget about it and just show her! I'm eager to hear her explanation!"
Mason growled. He was irritated by Valeria's response.
However, Ashley was still unable to take out the evidence. She said, "I've destroyed it in order to preserve her reputation."
But if Ashley really cared about Valeria, how could she hook up with Mason?
"If you are really thinking of me, how can you be so shameless and hook up with Mason? Your only purpose is to cast in a bone between Mason and me, isn't it?"
Ashley didn't know what to say but keep silent. Valeria smirked, "So what is your so-called evidence? Is there actually no evidence or the evidence you mentioned cannot be exposed to the public?"
"What's wrong with you?" Mason was also confused.
Ashley was flurried. She bit her lip and worried that her conspiracy would be exposed at the moment.
While she was anxious, a voice suddenly sounded, "What are you doing here?"
As soon as Ashley saw Ronald get out of the car, she had an evil idea, so she rushed over and said, "Dad! We came here for you and happened to meet Valeria."
"Then why don't you go upstairs?" Ronald frowned.
"It was because of Valeria! Daddy, can you believe that she mess up with other men?"
Valeria did not expect that Ashley would slander her blatantly. She trembled with anger and denied, "Nonsense! How could you say so!"
"Well, you did, and Mason also saw Valeria get out of Richard's car. She must have hooked up with him! Am I right, Mason?"
Ashley was so cunning and turned to Mason immediately. And it was certain that Mason would not help Valeria.
Then Mason added, "She did get out of Richard's car. We just asked her if she was Richard's mistress and she denied it. Mr. Brown, I assume that what happened last night was Richard's idea."
"How dare you! Are you trying to bring shame to our family?" Ronald said furiously.
He was not willing to believe that Valeria, the daughter of the Brown family had become Richard's mistress. They even embarrassed him in public. That was totally unacceptable!
In anger, Ronald raised his hand to slap Valeria. But someone stopped him when his hand was about to fall on Valeria's face.
