Chapter 1199: 1195 Ruthless and Snobbish

1195 Ruthless and Snobbish

However, Peter didn’t regard what Ashley said as simply a joke.

He looked at Ashley with a solemn expression.

Peter had managed to go from being an ordinary person with a poor family background to his current high status by first getting together with Ashley, the heiress of the Steeles at the time, and making her fall in love with him. Later, he married Vanessa, the only heiress of the Williams, and got her to become devoted to him. He had even convinced the Williams to accept him. All of this was naturally not because of his looks but his wits.

The others in the room were clueless, but Peter was well aware that Lucas wasn’t a penniless loser. He was someone who could afford a highly-modified Range Rover worth over a million dollars.

Moreover, at the start, Peter had really thought that Lucas was dressed in shabby clothes from a thrift store and assumed that he couldn’t even afford decent clothing. So just like the rest, he had thought that Lucas was a poor bottom feeder of society.

Thus, at the very beginning, Peter didn’t take Lucas seriously either. He had offered 100 thousand dollars for him to divorce Ashley, as if he was brushing off someone unimportant.

But ever since he saw Lucas’s Range Rover, he immediately realized that he was mistaken.

Afterward, through careful observation, Peter discovered that Lucas wasn’t wearing cheap clothes but clothes made of extremely fine material. The cutting and style were similar to the designs of top world-class designers. They just looked ordinary and low profile.

Peter naturally didn’t have this knowledge. He merely remembered seeing an elder, whom he had met during a visit with Ray, dressed in similar clothes.

Lucas’s seemingly ordinary outfit cost at least five figures.

In that case, Lucas wasn’t poor at all. He might even secretly be a tycoon.

More importantly, Peter understood what kind of a person Ashley was.

As her boyfriend of three years, he could confidently say that he was the one who understood her the best. After all, he had put in a lot of effort to win her heart back then.

Besides, Ashley definitely wasn’t a fool.

The fact that she had warned her former classmates not to regret their decision meant that Lucas really had what it took to take revenge on them.

But Peter still didn’t know what Lucas’s identity was and had to investigate further.

The endless mocking from Ashley’s former classmates was pushing the limits of her patience.

Finally, what they were saying was getting worse and worse, and Ashley couldn’t take it anymore. “Enough! Shut up!”

In Ashley’s eyes, these people who used to be her friends and classmates were absolutely shameless and disgusting.

Carrie sneered disdainfully. “Ashley Steele, what are you yelling for? Do you really think you’re still the heiress of a noble family?

“If you were still the heiress of the Steeles, we would naturally be scrupulous toward you. But look at yourself now! Your family has already been kicked out by the Steeles, and you couldn’t bring anything with you. You’re poor and far inferior to us now. What right do you have to yell at us and tell us to shut up?

“To be honest, if your penniless husband doesn’t apologize to Peter and us, we can forget about our friendship! I won’t put up with you anymore!

“Peter and Vanessa don’t have to do anything at all. We alone can make sure that you two won’t be able to survive in DC!”

Carrie chose to fall out completely with Ashley.

Back in college, she had had to flatter Ashley like a maid. But now, it was no longer necessary. Ashley was nothing to her now. She was just a small fry that Carrie could bully as she wished!

At the thought of this, Carrie felt a twisted thrill of revenge.

Moreover, by saying what she did, she was deliberately flattering Peter and Vanessa.

Zoey also sneered. “That’s right. The same goes for us! Ashley, if you and your husband don’t apologize to Peter and Vanessa, my family won’t let you two off either. Just wait until you can’t even survive in DC!”

Since the two girls had already expressed their opinions, Silas naturally didn’t want to fall behind and quickly said, “The same goes for the Grays! Anyone who goes against Peter and Vanessa will become the enemies of me and my family! It doesn’t matter that you were my classmate!”

“My family too!”

“Mine as well!”

…

Vanessa raised her head arrogantly and looked at Ashley. “Hehe, did you hear that? Even if the Williams don’t do anything, you and your pauper husband won’t be able to survive in DC! Serves you right for going against us!

“If you don’t apologize immediately, no one here will stand on your side, even though they used to be your classmates. They’ve chosen to be on my side and go against you two!

“What can people like you, someone kicked out by her family and her penniless husband, do to fight against us?”

At this moment, the situation in the private room was extremely clear.

No one was on Ashley and Lucas’s side.

Even Allie, who used to be Ashley’s close friend, didn’t dare to speak up for her and Lucas out of fear for the Williams’ power.

Allie didn’t say she would go against Ashley and Lucas on behalf of Peter and Vanessa like Carrie and the rest had. The fact that she didn’t say that she would make them lose their livelihood in DC was already kind enough.

Ashley smiled mockingly.

It turned out that the friends she had made in college were so ruthless and cold-blooded. They were so snobbish that it was abhorrent.

Ashley looked at Peter standing in front of her and smiled bitterly. “Peter, we dated for three years, and I even thought that we would spend the rest of our lives together. Are you going to be ruthless to me too?”
