Ayana doesn't dream of being Ashlyn. She had actually become Ashlyn and was now somehow after being almost killed by the person who happened to be now also sitting by her side, she said, Ashlyn felt very uncomfortable and increasingly uncomfortable when she realized that she was sitting around a round table whose seats were filled with bad guys.
The fat lady with the smell of cigarettes said that this was the safest place for the bad guys and was very confident that the Royal guards would not be able to find this place.
Even the chubby, laughing woman said welcome to Ashlyn in the community of bad guys.
Oh, that's right. He did enter the body of the antagonist, but he had never imagined that he would be in such a situation.
At first he is uncomfortable and afraid to be around bad people and thinks what evil they have done so they can enter the community of bad people. However, what frightened Ashlyn was that she was sitting next to the man who was just about to kill her by strangling her neck.
As Ashlyn sat beside the man, Ashlyn's butt was like sitting on a barbed chair that made her uncomfortable and wanted to leave immediately, fleeing.
However, after sitting for a while and hearing these people talk, Ashlyn felt her tension begin to wane and she began to realize that there was something that needed to be written in bold and underlined.
Bad people come from good people who are hurt.
Ah, so how could Ashlyn suddenly deduce this point. Of course from Ashlyn's own case and now coupled with the stories of bad guys in this community.
The fat woman told me that she used to be betrothed to a man, she loved that man so much. However, after the wedding, the man appeared to her and just wanted to take control of her property, the man insulted her appearance and cheated on her before his eyes. It made the woman angry and used a fruit knife to smear her husband's handsome face which she had always been proud of and throw him in the street.
The woman laughed loudly, "She thought I was a weak woman, I was too kind to her and was already willing to marry her, but she dared to say that in front of me when she knew her status was inferior to mine. Ha, now that I've made a cut on her face, not even a street girl will want to go near her, and yes, I don't know if I'm a psychopath or not but I like to hunt down men who hurt their wives. Haha."
While listening to that, Ashlyn could not help but goosebumps and felt it was extremely cruel.
Ashlyn then heard stories from some people sitting at the round table. One of them is a man who somehow has a strong coffee aroma.
The man recounts that his father was murdered when he was a child by drunken rich men. His father did not get justice and he had to live in agony with his mother after his father's departure. So, uh, after adulthood she learns hard to get revenge and it works when she becomes one of the workers at one of the abusers' residences who killed her father and it is the beginning of a serial murder that she do so.
Ashlyn again gulped and continued to listen to others tell her stories. However, because of listening to the stories of these evil people directly, Ashlyn can feel what they feel and can understand their feelings.
They are the ones who are heartbroken and are trying to demand justice in their own way. Unknowingly Ashlyn's smile expanded and made Edmund who had been watching Ashlyn furrow his brows ever since.
What did this evil girl think to such a smile after hearing these vile things done by these evil people.
Ah, true! Bad guys always support bad guys too! This girl must have been happy when she heard these people tell her about their crimes and their cruelty.
However, Ashlyn suddenly said.
"Well, since the beginning of the world it's been unfair to some people."
Instantly the table that had been quite crowded became silent and all attention was directed at Ashlyn. Honestly this makes Ashlyn depressed even though she is blind, but she can still feel it. However, as the evil Ashlyn she must show her composure, so she goes on.
"I realized that when my father suddenly remarried without asking my permission, I realized that I was not at all considered by the person whom I respected and loved so much."
Ashlyn then begins to recount how her life after her father married Arabella fits into the original novel.
"The stepmother loves only my father and when she is pregnant, she gets bigger and bigger. Feeling himself the ruler, the owner of the Daren Lynx mansion, and making his pretentious daughter Annabel take everything away from me."
As Ashlyn said this, Edmund could not help but furrow his brows. This wicked girl must have just wanted to demonize Annabel in front of the evil people who now seemed to have become her friends, and it was because of this that Edmund could not move to strangle the one who dared to insult Annabel. If he tried to strangle Ashlyn, these people would definitely not let that happen and kill him first.
So, Edmund could only sigh and clench his hands tightly, inevitably listening to what they were talking about including what Ashlyn was talking about.
"When he first came to Daren Lynx Mansion, the boy was like he was fascinated by the luxury of Daren Lynx, he was fascinated by everything, including my room. He and I had only met for the first time, but he had already dared to be so close to me that even he boldly said you were my brother, so could you give this room to me?"
Ashlyn couldn't help but curse, even Annabel since childhood already had such an infuriating nature.
"I refused, and his mother begged you. Ah, not that woman took it from me on the grounds that I was older than Annabel, I had to give in to her. Hey, sure enough, who they are, how shameless they are. They didn't have Daren Lynx's blood on their bodies and dared to say that, I was very upset, but in the end I decided to give it away, because I didn't like to argue and make a fuss."
Edmund in his heart spit, not like to argue and make a fuss? Pei, this girl is trying to deceive the world, obviously this evil girl likes to argue and even prefers to scold Annabel for trivial reasons.
Ashlyn continued. "However, their hearts were begged for the heart, after daring to get along with me and asking for my room, the kid starts following everywhere like a shitty little bully and it sucks because what I like he'll love it, and the woman will take it from me for Annabel. Again for the same reason, he said I was the oldest kid who had to give up."
Ashlyn laughed in annoyance. "I'm tired of such excuses and I'm starting to hate them. Ah no, I had hated them from the beginning but I was still trying to be patient as they were members of my family, at least dad did marry that woman. However, I don't like it if they continue to bully me with such old-fashioned excuses and continue to piss me off, so I ignore them and act a little harsh on them. I even kicked Annabel out and asked her not to come near me again, only then did I feel a sense of calm. Until the disaster comes."
"As I said, the boy always liked what I liked and tried to snatch it from me. So, when I liked the Crown Prince, he liked it too and he managed to get it. It made a mountaineering defeat after being patient for so many years for all the things they snatched from me I finally couldn't help it anymore. My anger peaked and just erupted like a volcano."
"This world is so unfair, I used to think that way because everything I had, even to what was supposed to be mine, they took it and took it away from me."
Ashlyn sighed.
"I was very angry and at that moment I thought I didn't need to be patient anymore, I had to take what should be my right and wouldn't let them take mine again. I used to be. I might be like a crazy person who started being mean and liked to yell, scold and beat people. And the bad news about me soon spread. They said I beat up Annabel, they said I tortured Annabel, they said I wanted to kill Annabel. Damn bullshit who has the mouth to spread the word I really want to catch them and pull their mouths and tie their mouths with a rope so they can't talk anymore!" Ashlyn said furiously and excitedly.
"Torturing, beating and killing Annabel, my ass! Were they all blind, Annabel was fine, every time I tried to get her hurt there was always someone else in her place, whether it was Crown Prince, Peter and Edmund, he said, they're always there to protect her!"
"Even the two fools Peter and Edmund!"
Ashlyn said so, but Edmund who was sitting on the other side could not help but sigh in anger as he stared at Ashlyn. So, in front of this evil girl he was a fool!
You are the only fool in the world!
However, Edmund feels something is wrong with Ashlyn, the girl still remembers him, but why does he not recognize her now. Is this girl pretending?
"They are both willing to protect the girl who won't even repay their love. Those people were even happy with just a thank you each time they replaced Ashlyn despite having to suffer with many blows on their bodies. I didn't know they were blind in love with Annabel or that they were crazy. For what is willing to sacrifice his body and life to be beaten and dive in the lake for days until their bodies are teased and bloody for the girl who will not even accept their love. Ai, they are really stupid to the crown, love does not have to have, but if it is to sacrifice life, for what love him, for what, is there no other girl in the world but Annabel?"
Ashlyn shook her head and the people at the table began to laugh while Edmund became the only person with a gloomy face as all those words managed to pierce her heart.
She loves Annabel very much and just wants Annabel to be happy, she will protect her and willingly sacrifice her life even though she can't have it in the end.
It's okay, Annabel's happy.
Edmund looked at Ashlyn and could not help but ask. "Aren't you also a stupid lunatic, you already know that the Crown Prince doesn't love you, but you're still trying to get it by hurting Annabel."
Ashlyn's brows were linked when she heard this and couldn't help but think who this man really was, why did it seem like this man was defending Annabel so much, was this man also one of Annabel's fans?
Tskkk! Then let Ashlyn tell the angel fans. "Yes, I'm crazy and I'm really stupid."
The answer surprised Edmund, not even only Edmund even the people in the evil crowd were shocked as well.
The fat woman was named Shopia and subtly rubbed the shoulder of Ashlyn who was sitting next to her.
"No, Lady Ashlyn. You've done the right thing. All this time I've only heard of the crimes you committed in the mansion, I heard you fired the servants who defended Annabel, you beat them up, too, even I heard that you deliberately doused Annabel with a glass of wine, ah your crime, I always believed you had a reason to do so, you deserved to hate them and punish them for having taken your due. Actually you're too patient, Lady Ashlyn. If it was me, I would've spilled booze on their faces to make them realize where they came from."
Ah, this proposal was quite terrible, but suddenly the man smelling coffee suddenly gave an even more terrible proposal.
"If it was me, I'd have killed them in the first place. If they die, I don't have to do trivial petty things like this."
Ashlyn's lips twitched, ah really these bad guys, it would be bad if she continued to be here, she would probably be contaminated with their vile thoughts. No, he could not plunge into this black hole full of darkness, if he listened to their proposal, how could he live quietly in this novel world.
While Edmund by his side was really worried that this evil girl would listen to their advice, and was already thinking whether he should kill this girl as soon as they got out of this place?
Edmund is afraid that if he doesn't, Annabel may be in danger.
However, Ashlyn suddenly smiled and tapped on the table, she said, "Actually if I hadn't saved the Crown Prince in the first place, this wouldn't have happened. Shouldn't I just push him back into the sea to have him eaten by fish or drown there instead of saving him."
Ashlyn again smiled bitterly, she actually felt bitter for Ashlyn's figure. "I saved him, but what I got, they humiliated me and my father slapped me in public. It blinded me so that people started to think that I had been dumped by my own father. Dear Duke Damien Daren Lynx."
Ashlyn laughed bitterly again. "They started to humiliate me even they had already dared to brandish a sword at me, not only was someone even trying to strangle me today. Ah, really sliced."
Ashlyn shook her head, while Edmund felt uneasy. This evil girl actually brought up this matter, did this evil girl plan to open it in front of these bad guys so that she could be beaten to death.
Edmund's hand clenched tightly and he clenched his teeth, he was supposed to kill this man what happened, and not save him, damn it. However, he suddenly saw Ashlyn's mellow face, her gray eyes, her silvery-gray eyelashes drooping weakly, his pale white face as well as his smiling pale lips suddenly made a sound, not allowing anyone else to cut off his speech.
"It seems like my anger and hatred for Annabel and all the things I've done unknowingly made other people evil."
"Today, as she strangled me I realized how stupid I used to be just to vent my anger on Annabel, I hurt a lot of people, selfishly not thinking about their feelings and making them hold a grudge against me, didn't I indirectly make this man who almost killed me a criminal for killing people?"
Ashlyn was silent, but somehow the table suddenly deserted and Ashlyn smiled again, she said. "The revenge will only result in another grudge and when my father slaps me until I go blind, I realize that everything I do is in vain. The Crown Prince will never love me and Annabel, I can't possibly hurt her at any moment because she's so protected. Haaah." huh." Ahslyn let out a long breath.
"Unconsciously, besides making others hold grudges against me, I have also wasted time."
Upon hearing this, the people sitting at the round table stared at Ashlyn including Edmund. Even Edmund thought that this evil girl ended up not only going blind after being slapped, but also going crazy so that such words could come out of her mouth.
The fat, cigarette-smelling woman then asked, "Then, are you finally going to give up, Lady Ashlyn?"
Ashlyn did not answer. Other people have chimed in with another piece of advice, "Lady Ashlyn, you better not give up so easily just because you're blind, if you give up, if you give up, they will be happy and all your suffering will never be avenged."
The other woman at the table also agreed, "That's right, Lady Ashlyn you better not give up and keep trying to make your step-sister suffer, she's actually completely outrageous. Just poison him or push him up the stairs."
The man smelled of coffee nodded his head and said, "Or you can tell me to kill him, I don't mind. I'm gonna put him on my list of victims. People like them deserve to die."
Upon hearing this Edmund was furious. How dare they say such horrible things even plan to kill Annabel. This evil girl .. she really regretted not killing him when she had the chance.
Ashlyn herself was also horrified by the ideas coming out of their mouths. However, slowly after interacting with them, Ashlyn could understand the path of their mind and could not help but smile weakly.
This world is indeed sometimes unfair to some people, and indeed, when someone is provoked by his emotions because of a bitter event, then he seems to have the courage of a hundred people. Revenge is not recommended, but when justice is not properly obtained, the most logical way to punish is to take revenge.
After all there is an expression that those who are hurt will not be satisfied if they do not make the person who hurt them suffer with their own hands. That's why sometimes many cases of revenge are terrible like this man smelling coffee for example, he became a serial killer to avenge the death of his father.
However, there is no other word ...
"Who said I'd give up?" Ashlyn said full of confidence. Making Edmund who heard it shocked and held back the anger, this evil girl had not given up. Does that mean Ashlyn's crimes against Annabel will continue?
Edmund thinks that he should look for a chance to kill Ashlyn after they get out of this place.
"Not given up? but you said everything you did was in vain, do you have a new plan to make your step-sister suffer?" The fat woman looked curious, as did everyone there.
Ashlyn smiled and tapped on the table with her index finger. "Have you ever heard the saying that being successful is the best way to get revenge?"
They were silent, this was the first time they had heard such words.
Ashlyn then continued, "If someone insults you for being weak, then be strong, if someone insults you for being poor then be rich, if someone insults you for being stupid then be smart, and if someone shows you that you don't need it and can get the better of it. Basically it is an expression to make us better and be our best, we have to be above those who demean and hurt us. When we are at the top, they will kneel under our feet and raise their heads to look at us with a feeling of awe, envy, envy and perhaps regret for their deeds, while we can look at them from above with satisfaction and with a contemptuous smile because we have become better than them."
"I will show you that I will live better than Annabel and will get a man who is a hundred times better than the Crown Prince, I will make them look with regret, admiration and selflessness, and I'll make sure they'll always be under my feet."
The fat woman smelled of cigarettes and seemed to sparkle listening to Ashlyn's explanation, "Ah, I just found out there is a way of revenge like this. This sounds good, makes them regret it in such a way it seems worth trying, Lady Ashlyn I will support your decision."
"Ah we will also support you, Lady Ashlyn. Make those who hurt you sorry and find someone better than the Crown Prince. You deserve to be happy, Lady Ashlyn."
Ashlyn is grateful for their support and Ashlyn also does not hesitate to give them motivation.
"You deserve to be happy too, my friends. You may also have to try this way instead of torturing yourself by doing evil and running away like this."
They then laughed and thought of Ahslyn's words in their minds. Although there were some who refused like the coffee-smelling man who had become the serial killer, he said he would continue his activities until everyone involved in his father's murder was killed.
Ashlyn could only faintly smile at it and hope that the man was fine and immediately get a hint to come to his senses.
Afterwards, Ashlyn was asked to stay overnight until morning before being allowed to leave in the morning with Edmund.
