Chapter 57
“Hand it over.” Nicole’s voice was chilling, her gaze icy and relentless.
She could tolerate being targeted, but she would never forgive anyone for involving her family.
Ashley trembled but stubbornly responded, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Nicole’s patience thinned.
“You know exactly what I’m talking about.
Hand the phone over.” Ashley may have been scared, but when she thought of the contents on the phone, her resolve hardened.
“The phone is my personal property.
What right do you have to demand it?” Ashley shot back.
Nicole didn’t waste time with more words.
She pushed her hand down on Ashley’s shoulder, forcing her to loosen her grip.
In that instant, Nicole snatched the phone from Ashley’s hand.
On the screen, Ashley’s post was still open, filled with vicious comments about Nicole.
Nicole calmly navigated away from the forum and into the photo album.
The first image was of her standing with her brothers.
She swiped back to see the photo of her “bullying” Snow.
Further back were saved screenshots of conversations with Snow, detailing how they had arranged to find photos that could cause trouble for Nicole.
But what really caught Nicole’s eye was the nude photo of Ashley with a middle-aged man.
Ashley’s face drained of color when she saw Nicole staring at the photo.
Then, from the side, a man’s voice cut through the tension.
“Snow, is this your friend?”
Nicole’s eyes flickered, and she saw Ashley’s adoptive father.
“Dad…” Ashley stammered, looking even more shocked.
“Dad?” Nicole smiled.
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect.
Just as she found the photo, Ashley’s father appeared.
Nicole wasn’t about to let this chance slip by.
She raised the phone and addressed the middle-aged couple standing nearby.
“You must be Mr.
and Mrs.
Holmes.
Take a look at what your daughter has been up to.”
“No!” Ashley lunged toward the phone, desperate to stop Nicole, but it was too late.
Mrs.
Holmes had already seen the photo.
The images were unmistakable, showing Ashley and the man on the bed.
There was no denying what was happening.
Mrs.
Holmes’s face went pale.
As her biological father, Ricky Holmes was the one she had tolerated bringing Ashley into the family, hoping to have children and grandchildren later in life.
She had no tolerance for this kind of disgrace.
“Look at your daughter! She’s doing such a humiliating thing at her age!” Mrs.
Holmes’s voice was loud and sharp, drawing the attention of everyone in the restaurant.
Ashley’s embarrassment reached new heights, and she wanted to disappear into the ground.
“Is this what you’ve been doing?” Mrs.
Holmes seethed, her voice filled with contempt.
“Your dad and I worked so hard to raise you, yet you’re sleeping with men! How could you bring such disgrace to this family?”
Ashley had always known the secret could come out someday, but never in front of so many people.
She felt like she could die from humiliation.
Looking at Nicole, she saw the smirk on her face, reveling in her misery.
“It’s all because of you!” Ashley spat, wishing she could end Nicole’s life right then and there.
But with Mrs.
Holmes glaring at her, she had no choice but to retreat behind Ricky.
To her shock, Ricky shoved her away and threw himself at Mrs.
Holmes’s feet.
“It’s my fault.
I didn’t expect Jess…”
