Chapter 1707 Jump Down From The Building
The smug look on Rebecca’s face pierced my eyes, but it also gave me an idea.
They have some dirt on Ashton, and they’re threatening him with it. If I keep hesitating now, both of us will be doomed.
Ashton once taught me that we should never show our weaknesses before our enemies.
I let go of Ashton calmly before I sat on the couch. Crossing my legs, I flashed a disheartened look.
“Go. All of you go now.”
Rebecca let out a snort before she turned around and left.
Ashton fell silent for a moment. He sighed exasperatedly and said, “I promise that we’ll never make the same mistakes. I’ll never let anyone hurt our family.”
After that, he turned around and went after Rebecca.
Before they walked out of the door, I warned coldly, “Ashton Fuller, if you step out of this door, I’ll jump down from the top of this building and die right in front of you.”
Before Ashton’s mind could react, he turned around and stared at me in a daze. He could not believe his ears.
Standing next to him, Rebecca scoffed as her jaw dropped, “What?”
None of them heard wrongly.
Why? Am I not allowed to use this tactic? Thanks to Rebecca, I finally have the chance to let her have a taste of her own medicine.
Ashton returned to his senses. He thought that I said that out of fury, so he reminded, “The children will be back soon.”
Rebecca knew what he meant. Hence, she guessed that I was just putting on a show. She sarcastically suggested, “Why not just do it then?”
Her eyes were filled with provocation and disdain. It was as if she was telling me that she had already played those tricks on Ashton before, so it was impossible for him to be deceived by me.
I glanced at her calmly. The next moment, I grabbed the knife from the table and stabbed it into my chest.
“Letty!”
“Ah!”
Rebecca and Ashton’s screams filled the entire room. In the blink of an eye, Ashton was kneeling in front of me. His huge palm gripped my hand, which was holding the knife.
Right at that moment, he noticed that I was actually not injured. He realized that I had inserted the knife under my armpit.
Ashton frowned, but he did not expose me.
Behind him, Rebecca jumped in fear. “You’re insane! You’re insane!”
I opened my mouth and pretended to pant heavily. Looking at Rebecca, I challenged, “Do you want to try?”
Obviously, Rebecca did not care if I was alive or not. She refuted, “Fine! Just die if you want to! Why are you putting on a show here?”
“Rebecca!” Ashton roared. His eyes were filled with a sense of dilemma as he said, “You’d better pray that Letty is safe. If anything happens to her, I’ll make you pay for it. You know how terrifying it is when I’m determined to take revenge on someone.”
“Why should I be scared?” Rebecca was not frightened at all. She said impatiently, “Forget it. What a downer!”
After taking a couple of steps, she stopped in her tracks once more. “You better not die so soon. My revenge has just begun.”
With that, she stomped out the door.
After Ashton heard the sound of the car leaving, he slowly took out the knife from under my arms and threw it on the coffee table. He then let out a heavy sigh.
We exchanged looks with each other before smiling in unison.
“We have good chemistry together. Mr. Fuller, do you want to join the showbiz?” I teased.
