Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister
Chapter 164 The Change in Public Opinion

Even though the news was about an earthquake, scandals about the president, or a dirty 5-star restaurant, she should not be woken up to check it in such a hurry, especially when she was steeped in the happiness of a sweet dream where she was making out with Darren, should she? She could almost feel the warmth of Darren's body!

"Oh, my girl, wake up! The news is about you!"

"About me?" Ashlee sprang to her feet at the words.

Shouldn't it be Clara, who was the protagonist of the current news? Clara had been such a celebrity recently and criticism about her could be seen everywhere online. Ashlee was so happy about this that she had brought many new dresses as celebration.

Yet, why would she be the focus of the news? Noticing that Valerie almost cried because of anxiety, she could sense that something bad had happened.

"My girl! Read this! Those people online are going crazy! The Middleton family is done!"

How serious! Ashlee immediately turned on her tablet.

On the Internet, almost all the media, Twitter celebrities and WeChat groups were saying that, according to the investigation, it was not Clara herself who volunteered to work as a prostitute but her biological sister who had drugged her and then made her one.

More importantly, they all said that they have concrete evidence because a person involved, who helped to frame Clara, had already confessed his crime to the police. With the testimony of this witness, Clara now was cleared of all blame and rumors while Ashlee became totally notorious.

Moreover, it was also said that Clara's mother was once raped and forced by Glenn Middleton, which was exactly in accordance with an old saying, "Like father, like daughter."

People also doxed out the ugliest photo of Ashlee and posted it everywhere online.

The truth was uncovered! Apart from that, old stories had also been posted about how Ashlee had bullied Clara since they were kids, how she sent someone to drug Clara, how she found an ugly old man to rape Clara, and how she made Clara suffer from injustice and despise for so many years by snapping her pictures and spreading malicious rumors.

Astonished, Ashlee found herself suffocated and her hands couldn't help shaking from the fear.

Who? Who did this? No one but Darren knew the truth.

Yet Ashlee was sure that Darren would never do this to her. Since she was pregnant, Darren had been much kinder to her and would call her every day when they could not see each other, so he would never intend to do this.

Besides, Darren, in fear that a more in-depth investigation would be conducted on that affair, had already helped her to destroy as much evidence as they could replace.

Ashlee tried to calm herself down and continued her reading.

People on almost every social media platform were cursing her and the Middleton family.

Poor Clara, been so severely bullied... Ashlee Middleton is definitely a demon, a jealous bitch! She looks ugly in that photo!!

[The Middletons are all villains! They not only bullied the mother but also the daughter! How evil!

[Viper! Much worse than worms! Ashlee, you did those awful things to your sister! Just wait for your nemesis! You'll die a horrible death! Ashlee, go to hell! Let the thunder kill her!

The Middletons are all devils! Such devils can never run a reliable company, no more collaboration with them![]

Ashlee's heart began to beat wildly and she could feel that her doom was approaching. How could she show herself up in public again anymore!

There was another piece of news saying that the stock price of Midland Inc. had plunged since that morning when the news about Ashlee had been published and spread, which brought serious damage to the business of the Middleton family and made a lot of clients terminate their contract with it. Bankruptcy was the foreseeable outcome.

Ashlee got the willies and began to shiver. Was doom really approaching? She sank to the floor powerlessly.

Valerie was very worried about Ashlee and helped her up immediately.

"Mom! Mom! Help me! Help!" eyes goggling as a dead fish, Ashlee tightly held Valerie's clothes in her hand.

"I don't want to die. I don't. He will never let me off! Mom, I am done! I am done!"

"Who? Who won't let you off?" Valerie was puzzled.

"Horace! Horace! He'll never let me off! Mom!" in a great panic, Ashlee cried.

Ashlee gradually realized that, even though Horace was not the one who published the news, he would never forgive her easily.

Those threatening words Horace once said were imprinted in Ashlee's mind, which always gave her nightmares. It was unexpected that his words had turned into reality so soon since that morning.

Valerie began to be scared too when she heard his name. He was so omnipotent that he could make them kneel down as easily as he killed an ant.

Valerie cried out, "My girl, oh, God help us! Don't be afraid, I am here with you. I will never let Clara and her mother off! Those bitches! They should go to hell!"

There rang the sounds of rapid footsteps on the staircases. It was Glenn. Before he entered Ashlee's room, he heard their curses on Clara and her mother. He became very angry.

He shouted at them furiously as soon as he crossed the threshold.

"Bitch!" Glenn bellowed at Valerie, "I have heard everything you said just now! Had it not been for your insult to and hatred of Clara and her mother, we wouldn't be so miserable now! And even now, you still want to bully them! You are the one who should go to hell!"

He then turned around to face Ashlee and continued, "Little devil! How dare you frame your sister? You are much worse than the devil! Clara is your sister!"

Seeing that Glenn scolded Ashlee because of Clara, Valerie burst into flaming rage as if there was a volcano erupting in her body.

She shouted back, "Don't shout at us! If you hadn't been with Helena Selman, there wouldn't be the little bitch Clara! She is satisfied now since she successfully defamed her sister and nearly brought bankruptcy to our company. She is a troublemaker and a curse! Ashlee just wanted to teach her some lessons since we don't like her at all! Don't make a fuss!"

Ashlee began to whimper.

Valerie continued, spitting as she spoke, "Ashlee is pregnant now and she has tried her best to keep Darren by her side for us. They are going to get married! However, how about the other daughter of you? Clara, what has she done? After she married Horace, she brought countless troubles to us. You should blame her and make her beg for our forgiveness!"

Retorted sharply by Valeri Bennett and vexed by Ashlee's crying, Glenn couldn't shout his indignation out anymore and began to blame himself.

If he had controlled his sexual desire when facing Helena Selman, there would not be so many troubles at all.

When the Middletons were sitting in the villa trying to figure out a solution, a boom suddenly rang downstairs and a group of people in black stormed in.
