Chapter 32 Ashley and Walter Show Up
I said, “The Conner Group did invite an investor to this project at that time, but it was an investment company on Walling Street, which was a large amount of investment, and there was no such thing that the Conner Group’s executives were allowed to buy shares.”
She smiled bitterly. “Yes, but at that time, I only thought that this project existed and its development was really good. I thought he was telling the truth and gave him all the money we saved at home. 660 thousand dollars! He took it all away. I didn’t know until a month ago that he had used it to pay his gambling debt. The money I saved so hard, but he just took it away and wasted it all!”
After saying that, she already burst into tears, clinging to the gla*s in her hand, trying to control her mood. I gasped slightly. It was conceivable how difficult it would be for an ordinary family to save 660 thousand dollars. She spent almost half her life making it, so no wonder she lost her mind.
I tried to comfort her, but I didn’t know what to say for a moment. After a few seconds of silence, I said, “So, you killed him?”
She shook her head. “There’s no need to kill him for 660 thousand. dollars, because what matters is not that he’s so mean and dirty and swindled my money, but he shouldn’t have betrayed me. I spent ten years with him. He said he wanted to drink, but now he can’t have a baby and he found a young woman to give him a baby. He brought that woman back to my house and slept with her in my bed.”
As she said that, she couldn’t help herself. She looked at me and said, “You know what? He took that woman to Chesterburg to have fun and gamble, using all my money. I have tried to save money all my life. I

was so mean to myself, but he took my money and let that bitch. squander it. The bitch even sent a picture of that little bastard home to disgust me. How can I stand it? I can’t stand it.”
As she spoke, she began to tremble. Her eyes were scarlet and her voice became almost hoarse. She said, “So when he went back home that night, I killed him with my family’s fruit knife and stabbed him. more than a dozen times. There was blood all over the place. I was not afraid at all. I just felt very happy. He deserved to die. He deserved more than anyone else.”
Looking at her a little out of control, I could not help but shiver, trying to comfort her, but suddenly there were two more people around me, Ashley and Walter.
Before I could say something, Ashley said, “Tabatha, is she your friend? What are you talking about? Your friend seems to be very excited.”
I just listened so attentively that I didn’t notice the situation around me at all. I didn’t know how long these two have been here.
Ryan’s wife was stupefied when she saw the two people around her, and then she subconsciously wanted to leave. I took the lead in holding her down and looked at Ashley with a sneer, “Yes, this lady just told me a story about a husband having an affair and being stabbed a dozen times. By the way, the man who was stabbed, like Mr. Hinton, made. his mistress pregnant. Speaking of this disloyal man, stabbing him at dozen times is not enough. He should be torn to pieces.”
I said those words especially for Walter. He was tall, with Ashley in his arms. Since I saw him, his face had been gloomy. After listening to my words, he looked sullener and sullener.
Ashley was so shocked by my words that she flinched toward Walter’s arms, looked at him with fear, and said softly, “Walter.”

Walter held her in his arms tighter and frowned at me, “Be torn to pieces? Tabatha, do you have the guts to do that?”
“I’m not sure!” I didn’t want to stay with them any longer. I turned to Ryan’s wife and said, “Let’s go. The air is not fresh here. Let’s go get some fresh air.”
Ryan’s wife nodded, but as soon as she got up, she suddenly looked at Walter. She paused and then looked at me and said, “Is he the president of the Hinton Group? Your husband?”
I nodded. Walter was young and promising, and he often showed up in the media, and the marriage of the Conner family and the Hinton family was known to everyone.
Seeing me nodding, she looked at Ashley, who was embraced by Walter, and suddenly said, “Are you pregnant?”
Ashley seemed to be frightened by her eyes. She leaned closer to Walter and whispered to him, “Walter, this friend of Tabatha is very scary. Let’s go.”
Walter looked at me all the time, as if he had something to say to me. When he heard Ashley’s words, he said okay, then looked at me and said, “Roy is outside. I’ll let him follow you later…”
“Ah! Knife! She has a knife…” Ashley suddenly screamed.
