Chapter 150 Frustrated and Furious
She stopped abruptly, realizing it wasn’t appropriate to reveal what she had overheard from Rowan and the lawyer’s conversation.

“Ashley, who do you think you are to say these things to me? If I don’t deserve Rowan’s money, do you?” I raised my chin slightly. With the advantage of height, I looked down at her with a hint of disdain. “What are you? Besides being younger than me, do you have any other advantages?”
Thad been too polite to her before, thinking she was just an innocent lady forced into submission by Rowan’s methods.
Now I realized she was much more cunning than an average young lady.
“L..” Ashley showed a desperate look in front of me for the first time, but she couldn’t say a word.
I really wanted to ask her if she thought she deserved it because she looked like Sophie and because she had someone else’s heart inside her.
“Rowan bikes me!” Ashley finally found a reason to respond to me.
“Then good luck to you. Let’s see if he’ll marry you,” I said coldly. “Ashley, don’t you know about Sophie’s existence? Don’t you know Linda is her sister? Or do you want to continue pretending not to know and happily accept their kindness?
These words were even more impactful than before. Ashley’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. She seemed unable to believe that I knew about Sophie.
Her reaction amused me “Ashley, do you think the Paynes didn’t try to keep me? Of course, they told me about Sophie and your heart.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Ashley panicked “I don’t know anyone named Sophie
e.Rowan wouldn’t even
“Why panic? You should thank your parents for giving you a face like Sophie’s and thank fate for having Sophie’s heart transplanted into you. Otherwise, 1 look at you, and Linda wouldn’t treat you like a sister. Got it? I didn’t care about Ashley’s increasingly pale face
She wanted to act as if she didn’t know anything, so she could convince herself that Rowan’s compensation was a genuine expression of his love for her.
Ashley suddenly clutched her chest. Her breathing became rapid. She staggered a few steps as if she couldn’t stand steadily.
I stepped back, and Linda rushed over again to support Ashley
“Ivory, what did you do to her? Linda angrily questioned.
At this moment, Rowan appeared at the restaurant entrance. Seeing Ashley in distress, he quickened his pace and approached her,
Ashley fell into his arms. Her lips trembled as she asked, “Rowan, w who is Sophie?”
Right after that, she fainted.
Even if she was about to faint, she needed to lay the groundwork for what would come next. Since Thad already mentioned that she knew about Sephie, soon Rowan would know too. It would be better to seize the opportunity and ask about it to put herself in a vulnemble position
She wanted to portray herself as pitiful, unaware that she was being used as a substitute,
I looked at her coldly as Rowan glanced at me with a frown. He then picked up Ashley and walked toward the car. He was prepared to take her to the hospital.
“Rowan, aren’t you going to teach Ivory a lesson? It’s because she did something excessive to Ashley that she fainted!” Linda angrily spoke up.
“Let’s send Ashley to the hospital first,” Rowan replied impatiently and got into the cat
