A Love Trap

Chapter 157 Spencer's Secret

Ashley already had enough of the party, but she couldn't just leave. She took a deep breath and asked Johnny, "Is there another dress in the car?" Ashley knew it was unlikely that there would be a spare dress in the car, but she just wanted to try her luck. She knew people usually brought an extra dress.

She didn't bring one, but that didn't mean Andrew wouldn't either.

Johnny quickly responded, "Yes, Madam."

He was really impressed with his boss right now. It seemed that he had planned for every scenario, including this one.

Andrew had asked him to put a couple more dresses in the trunk before they left The Silver Moon. From NôvelDrama.Org.

That explained why there were spare dresses in the car.

Ashley looked at Johnny and said, "Can you please bring one for me? Meanwhile I will go to the restroom to clean up."

Johnny hesitated. Ashley could tell from his expression that he wanted to say something. "Are you going to ask me to walk to the car with you looking like this?" She asked gesturing at her stained dress.

He was about to nod, but Ashley continued, "Because that's not going to happen. I will be fine here. It's just for a little while. No one is going to hurt me. Just hurry up, get the dress!"

Johnny didn't know how to respond so he hurried to go get the dress for her. Andrew was afraid that people might take advantage of her. That was why he had instructed Johnny to be around her no matter what happened.

But in this situation Johnny couldn't refuse Ashley's request. He quickly walked to the car.

Ashley looked around and found the restroom. She picked up her long dress a bit so she could walk faster, and she made her way to the restroom.

She looked at the wine stain on her dress and smiled wryly. She had really liked this dress.

She rinsed off the stain with water and it faded a little, but it was still very obvious.

Ashley felt really helpless. Andrew would definitely be mad at her for ruining the dress.

Ashley quickly came out of the restroom as she was worried that Johnny might be looking for her.

...

When she walked out, a familiar voice from the bushes nearby stopped her. Ashley recognized the voice. It belonged to Spencer.

"Why are you here?" Spencer asked someone in the bushes. He was talking in hushed tones as if he was afraid that people might find out who he was. For a minute Ashley thought she was mistaken. But in truth, there was no fooling her, especially when it came to Spencer. She had lived with him for so many years. Ashley was sure it was him.

"Yo! What do you mean? Is this your house? Oh, no, it isn't. So why shouldn't I be here?"

A woman's voice responded, which was a seductive one!

She continued, "Are you afraid that your ugly wife might find out about me?"

"What nonsense are you talking?" Spencer replied, clearly annoyed at her.

"I just saw you there with Mr. Chen. So, tell me! Are you hooking up with other men behind my back?" He was taunting the mystery lady.

Ashley suddenly realized who she was when she heard about Mr. Chen. She had noticed the beautiful woman who had come with Mr. Chen earlier. Only, in this case, it seemed that her real sugar daddy was Spencer.

The woman tittered and whispered something but Ashley couldn't hear it clearly.

She didn't really care about their conversation. After all, it was just one of the many scandals that took place in rich families such as this one.

Word got around and it wasn't hard for people to find out about the various affairs of rich people like Spencer.

Peggy might be the only one naive enough to believe that Spencer only loved her.

Ashley was ready to leave, but what the woman said next stopped her in her tracks. She stood there quietly and listened.

She heard the woman talked about Ron. Ashley was close to him but she hadn't heard from him in so long. So her interest was piqued.

"Is Ron going to come back soon?" The woman pretended to ask casually. Ashley peered through the gap between the bushes, and she saw that Spencer's hands were all over the woman.

"What do you care?" Spencer stopped what he was doing.

The woman gave him a shy smile and replied, "Why are you overacting? I am not going to hurt him."

She put her arm around Spencer's neck and asked, "Will you let him manage the business for you?"

Spencer frowned. He replied coldly, "That is none of your business."

"Not my business? Then, please tell me what my business is? What about me and baby Jim? Are you going to leave us all alone and pretend that we don't exist in your life?"

The woman raised her voice.

Spencer was startled. He quickly covered her mouth and looked around, hoping no one had heard what she said. "Can you be quieter? Do you really want everyone to know we are here?" Spencer asked through gritted teeth.

Ashley was so shocked that she almost gasped aloud.

But she put her hand on her mouth to stop herself. Fortunately, Spencer and his lover didn't hear her.

Ashley's eyes widened in shock. There was one thing on her mind. Spencer had a secret child with this lady. And the child's name was Jim.

It sounded like a boy's name. Since the woman called him "baby Jim", Ashley guessed it was a young boy.

She couldn't help but wonder what Ron would do if he found out. He would be furious, she guessed.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She looked around and made sure no one else was around. She leaned a little closer to the bushes and tried to get more information. However, she didn't hear any conversation anymore. She just heard a weird sound.

Ashley was confused. Soon she heard gasps and moans, and her cheeks turned pink! She now realized what they were doing.

She glanced at them and sneaked out.

Once Ashley was away from them, she finally felt relieved. Honestly, she was still in shock.

She had never thought that Spencer was the cheating kind. What was most unbelievable was that he even had a child with that woman!

Ashley couldn't help but sigh as she thought how ironic it was that she discovered Spencer's big secret.

Poor Peggy used to brag about how wonderful Spencer was and how he was a loving father and a loyal husband. She didn't have a clue that all this while he was unfaithful to her. Thankfully, there was no way for her to know that they called her "ugly" behind her back.

When Ashley walked into the room, she noticed there was a commotion going on.

Lena was surrounded by several rich women, all looking very anxious.

"Lena, how did that happen? Maybe you just forgot where you put it?" one girl asked.

Lena looked very worried. She had tears in her eyes. "No, It's impossible. I had it on my finger the whole time. I only put it down few minutes ago on this table... Only for a minute! I clearly remember that this is the exact spot where I put it!" She cried.

Teresa tried to comfort her, "Lena, just calm down. Don't worry, we will help you find it. It's definitely at somewhere in this room."
