Chapter 3 The Shameless Mother and Daughter

Valeria's eyes glistened with anger when she saw Ashley, "Here you are. I was about to get even with you. So, why did you set me up last night?"

"What are you talking about? Who set you up?" Ashley pretended to be innocent cheekily.

"Valeria, you can't slander Ashley. She's such an obedient girl. How could she frame you?" Julie said.

"You deny it? You think I don't know what to do with you two?" Valeria was totally infuriated by the shameless mother and daughter. So, she raised her hand and slapped hard on Ashley's face.

However, Ashley did not avoid the slap.

She felt a burning pain on her face and tears soon streamed down from her eyes.

Viewing such a scene, Julie grabbed Valeria's wrist and asked, "Valeria, why did you hit Ashley? She did nothing wrong!"

Then she showed no mercy and pinched hard on Valeria's wrist secretly. Valeria felt extremely painful and pushed Julie away at once.

This was the moment Julie had been waiting for. She hit her head on the tea table as she fell, and blood began to flow from her wound.

"Mom! What happened? Valeria, how can you do this to my mother?" Ashley screamed loudly.

After getting dressed, Ronald opened the door and saw Julie lying on the ground. He was startled, so he ran to check, "Julie, are you all right?"

"I'm fine, but Ashley..." At Julie's words, Ronald turned his head to Ashley and saw five distinct fingerprints on her face.

Ronald asked angrily, "What's wrong with your face?"

"Ronald, don't blame Valeria. She was just too emotional." Julie, the scheming b*tch, was pretended to plead for Valeria.

She glanced at Ashley when she spoke.

Ashley knew what to do next and looked at Ronald with tears, "Daddy, it doesn't matter that I was hit by Valeria, for this isn't the first time anyway. But don't leave my mother alone, please. Would you let Valeria keep threatening her? "

Valeria was even more confused and asked Ashley, "What did you say? What do you call my father?"

"I said 'daddy'." Ashley replied.

"Ashely, don't!" Julie stopped her immediately.

"Dad, how long are you gonna keep this secret? Even if you don't consider for my mom, you have to think about me, right? Do you want me to live with the shame of being an illegitimate daughter for my whole life?"

Ashley did not listen to Julie this time and she continued to cry and complain.

Under this circumstance, Ronald was very angry but had no idea. In fact, the truth could no longer be concealed, and it was time for him to tell Valeria.

Then he said to Valeria, "Valeria, actually Aunt Julie and I have been together for a long time. And Ashley is also part of our family. She is your sister!"

"What?" Valeria was completely dumbfounded. She looked at Ronald in shock.

A trace of guilt appeared on Ronald's face, "Valeria, it's all my fault. Julie was pregnant when Your mother and I got married. I didn't know that she gave birth to Ashley. And I owe them too much. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be unhappy. Now that we've talked about it today, we're family from now on..."

Valeria listened to Ronald and angrily interrupted him, which was totally unacceptable to her.

"Dad, how could you say that? A family? I'm telling you, I'm at daggers drawn with them, now and forever!"
