Chapter 179 Lena Everywhere

"Miss, please feel free to pick anything you like. It's an honor to serve you." the manager offered with a
smile.

Ashley shook her head and said, "Thanks, but I don't need these."

The manager randomly picked up a classy necklace and asked a shopping assistant to pack it. "Miss,
please accept this small welcome gift from our brand. This necklace suits you perfectly," he said
graciously.

The manager had every reason to please Ashley as she was with Andrew.

Giving away a necklace like this was not a big deal for him. It was merely a drop in his sea of jewelry.

As an experienced marketer, the manager certainly knew what he was doing.

As soon as the necklace was nicely wrapped, he gently placed it in Ashley's hand and said, "Miss, it's
just a small present. We'd be so happy to see you accept it."

Ashley smiled in embarrassment. She wondered why the manager wanted her so desperately to
accept something from him.

She politely turned him down, and killed time browsing on her cellphone while she waited for Andrew.
She wondered why his call was taking so long.

She was engrossed in a game on her phone when suddenly a sharp, surprised voice startled her. She
was about to blame this person for almost making her lose the game.

Ashley frowned and looked up to find that it was Lena, who was standing there smirking happily. Ashley
was starting to doubt whether Lena was following her and Andrew, given that they bumped into Lena
every time they were out.



Lena beamed at her, but Ashley couldn't even put on a fake smile for this woman who was constantly
scheming against her. She calmly put her phone away and threw a glance at her sister. "What's
wrong?" she asked nonchalantly.

Lena saw Andrew nearby and plastered a fake smiled on her face. "Nothing at all. I was just happy to
bump into you here, so I came by to say hello."

Her eyes immediately went to the ring on Ashley's hand. "My dear sister, did Andrew buy you a ring?"
she asked in surprise. "Oh, and excuse me, who are you please?"

Lena asked the middle-aged man next to Ashley.

"I serve as the manager of this boutique," he replied.

"Oh, nice to meet you. I'm her younger sister." Lena grinned at the manager and introduced herself.

He didn't care to respond to her, regarding her as someone of low status.

He had never needed to have a conversation with anyone except for Andrew and a few other famous
businessmen. Lena was a nobody to him.

He could tell from Ashley's expression that she didn't welcome this woman who just popped up out of
nowhere. He thought Lena was being impolite by troubling Ashley.

Lena took Ashley's hand affectionately ignoring her sister's obvious hostility towards her. She said
softly, "Look at this ring, my dear sister. It is so pretty! It must have cost thousands!"

Ashley pulled her hand away and took a step back. "I don't know. And I should inform you that I have
severed all ties with the Mu family and that I was never your sister. So don't call me that anymore," she
stated curtly.



Lena looked down at her hand, which was shoved away so cruelly by Ashley. Pure malice filled inside
her at that moment. Nonetheless, she looked up at Ashley pretending to be hurt by her. "Why are you
saying this? I'm so hurt. Have I unintentionally done something wrong?" she cried.

Ashley was tired of Lena's theatrics. She noticed a faint sneer on her face before her so-called
breakdown. "Why don't you ask Peggy? Then you will know everything," she suggested sarcastically.

Seeing that Andrew had finished his phone call and was coming back, Lena quickly plotted a scheme.
She hurriedly grabbed Ashley while yelling in pain, "Aargh!"

Lena knew that from Andrew's point of view, it would look like Ashley had pushed her on purpose and
caused her to fall down on the floor.

Ashley watched Lena's disgusting drama and stepped back. She stared at Lena without any emotion,
not bothering to help her up.

Andrew heard the loud sound and panicked. He thought that Ashley got hurt. He rushed over to her.

"I don't know why Ashley pushed me, but I don't blame her. She didn't mean it,"

Lena said weakly as if she was hurt badly.

Her exquisite face showed a lot of pain and she frowned with enormous difficulty. Basically she was
trying every trick in the book to gain Andrew's sympathy.

She made it look as though despite her suffering she was shielding her sister.

Frowning angrily, Andrew walked right past Lena and went straight to Ashley. Lena thought that he
would blame Ashley because it might seem like that she had viciously knocked Lena down.

But what Andrew said next astonished her.



"Are you okay? You are fine, right? Don't make me worry so much about you. I was away for just some
moments, and you've gone and hurt yourself. How can I ever leave you alone for even a second? I will
have to be near you all the time."

Still in shock, Ashley gazed at her beloved Andrew, who was so worried about her well-being. She
blankly shook her head.

"Lena? Are you okay?" Raymond said, concern in his voice. He had come there almost at the same
time as Andrew did.

Lena and Raymond had arrived at the shop at the same time as Andrew and Ashley did. Lena had
caught sight of them and sent Raymond away with an excuse. She only texted him to return now so
that he could see her drama. She hoped Raymond would also see the horrible act Ashley had
committed and sympathize with her.

"Raymond, I...I'm okay. Ashley didn't do anything to me. It's my fault. I fell down by accident. Ah! It
hurts," she stuttered, pretending to be upset. Lena gazed at him, tears welling up in her eyes as though
she was struggling to keep her emotions in check—another one of her tricks to win sympathy from
men.

The floor was built with prime-quality ceramic tiles, so Raymond couldn't believe that she would
accidentally stumble and fall.

He naturally targeted Ashley. "Ashley, whatever have happened between you and Lena, she's your
sister! No matter how much you dislike her, you shouldn't have done this to her! How can you be so
malicious! You didn't used to be like this," he roared. Raymond was sad that Ashley had been reduced
to such shameless acts.

He was mad at her as though she had committed the most heinous crime in the world.



"Raymond, don't be so furious. It's not Ashley's fault. You shouldn't blame her for this." Lena continued
her act. But inside she was thrilled that Raymond was condemning Ashley. Now she could continue to
play the victim card.

"Honey, don't stand up for her any more. Let me take you to the hospital right away," Raymond said
anxiously.

Ashley rolled her eyes and responded coolly, "Yeah, I am a malicious woman. I knocked Lena down, so
what? Please guard your fiancee carefully next time, or she will make a mess again by claiming kinship
with anyone on the street. When she fails, she will even frame others. I'm amazed at how she can
make up so many fake sisters."

Raymond was disappointed with this new Ashley, whose frigid demeanor and emotionless tone broke
his heart. "Ashley, you have changed," he observed.

Ashley didn't bother to respond to this fool who was brainwashed by Lena. His razor-sharp tongue
confirmed that he was blindly following his wicked fiancee and believing every lie that came out of her
mouth.

Raymond gave Ashley a final look of disappointment and started to leave with Lena in his arms.

However, now Andrew spoke after being silent for a long time.

He fixed his eyes on Raymond, who was leaving, and said, "Wait!"
