My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 57

"Hand it over." Nicole's eyes were frosty and frightening. She could tolerate others targeting her, but she would never forgive them for implicating her family.

Ashley was quaking in her boots but still yelled back, "I don't know what you are talking about!"

There was a look of impatience in Nicole's eyes when she heard Ashley's response.

"You know what I am talking about. Hand the phone over." Ashley might be afraid of Nicole, but when the thought of the contents of the mobile phone came to mind, she gritted her teeth. "The mobile phone is my personal belongings. What right do you have to demand that I hand over my phone?"

Nicole did not bother to continue talking to her. She pressed her hand on Ashley's shoulder, forcing Ashley to loosen the hand behind her. Taking this opportunity, Nicole snatched the phone from her hand. The screen was still displaying the post she had uploaded. The comments section was full of nasty replies saying that Nicole was shameless.

Nicole calmly exited the forum and opened the photo album. The first image she saw was a picture of her standing with her brothers. She swiped back, and what appeared in front of her was the picture of her 'bullying' Snow.

Further back were some saved screenshots of chats with Snow, telling Ashley about her requirement for the photos. Snow asked them to replace a photo that could put Nicole in trouble. There was also a nude photo of Ashley with a middle-aged man. Ashley's face turned pale when Nicole saw her nude photo.

Just then, a middle-aged man's voice was heard coming from one side.

"Snow, is this your friend?"

"Dad..." Ashley was even more dumbfounded when she saw her adoptive father.

"Dad?" Nicole smiled. Ashley's father had come just when she saw Ashley's nude photo. She was not going to miss this opportunity, Ashley had been hanky-panky herself, yet she dared to take a candid photo of her. Since that was the case, Nicole was going to give Ashley a taste of her own medicine.

Nicole sneered, picked up the mobile phone, and said to the man and the middle-aged woman who accompanied him.

"You two must be Mr. and Mrs. Holmes. Take a look at what your daughter has done." As she spoke, she held up the phone.

"No!" Ashley panicked and went to grab the phone.

But Mrs. Holmes had already spotted the naked photo. The two were seen lying on the bed in the photo. Anyone who looked at it could instantly tell what was happening. The smile of Mr. and Mrs. Holmes faded instantly, their faces sinking.

Mrs. Holmes looked surprised. Jess was her daughter, but only a stepdaughter. Ricky Holmes was her biological father. She could not care less about her image and questioned Ricky.

"What is going on?" Because she could not conceive, she tolerated Ricky taking his daughter home, hoping that in the future, when the two of them were old, they would still have children and grandchildren to depend on. She did not expect Ashley to be so humiliating. She was an embarrassment.

"Look at your good daughter! She is doing such a humiliating thing at such a young age!" Her voice was so loud that it immediately attracted attention. People in the restaurant looked over. Ashley felt like dying, extremely humiliating. She wished the ground would swallow her up.

Mrs. Holmes could not hide her hatred and gritted her teeth as she looked at her adopted daughter, whom she had been carefully nurturing all this while.

"That is what you did to me? Don't you feel sorry? Your dad and I have worked so hard to raise you, yet you are sleeping around with men! How could you do such a humiliating thing?"

Ashley had foreseen that the cat could get out of the bag someday. But she never expected that it would be in front of so many people. She wished she could kill herself right now.

Looking sideways, she saw Nicole was watching what happened with schadenfreude.

"It is all because of you!" Ashley wished she could kill Nicole right now. But with Mrs. Holmes here, she could only hide behind Ricky.

To Ashley's surprise, Ricky pushed her away and threw herself at the feet of Mrs. Holmes and pleaded, "It was my fault. I didn't expect Jess to do such a thing outside. But please forgive her this time." Looking at Ricky, who was still defending his daughter, Mrs. Holmes could not hide her disappointment and pain, and finally let out an icy smile and gracefully took a glass of water from the table and splashed on Ricky's face. She then told him sternly, "If you still want her to stay in this family, then my lawyer will see you tomorrow-we will divorce."

What she gave him all these years, she would take it all back without fail.

No way Ricky would dare to let her divorce him. Everything he now had was because he had married a wife with a wealthy background. If she divorced him, he would lose everything.

It did not matter if everything was taken away from him. But if her family knew about it, they would surely kill him. Thinking of this, he hugged Mrs. Holmes's leg and wailed.

"Please don't divorce me." He turned back and pointed at his daughter ruthlessly. "I promise you that I will send her away tomorrow. Please give me another chance."

With everything that happened in front of her eyes, Nicole had to turn on her phone and record what was going on. Ashley could no longer stand it when she heard her father was abandoning her. Her grievances of these years exploded instantly as she angrily scolded Ricky.

"You forsake your daughter for a woman - what a father you are?"
