A Love Trap

Chapter 328 The Wedding Was Going To Be Canceled

Cora shook Lena's hand away. "Do you really think that we are going to proceed with the wedding after what you have done? Do you think that your parents would shamelessly ask Raymond to marry you?"

After dropping those harsh facts, Cora turned on her heels and left. Lena started to get really worried.

She couldn't believe that Cora was going to cancel the wedding.

'I can't let that happen! I can't!

I have already sacrificed the baby. My plan of framing Ashley has backfired on me and has been exposed to the public. I can't afford to lose Raymond and his family's support too.

I have to find a way out of this situation!' However, when she thought about what she could do, her mind was totally blank. Lena was at a loss on what to do.

Suddenly, a person's name popped into her head. Her eyes lit up. It seemed that that name had kindled a spark of hope in her despairing mind.

That person was Ron. Ron had a good relationship with Ashley. Lena believed that Ashley would drop the charges against her if Ron spoke to her. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Lena had found a little hope in her life.

She quickly got dressed and hurried home.

Lena was so anxious to find her brother. While she sat in the taxi to take her home, it seemed like her house was on the other side of the world.

"Sir, can you drive faster?" she said to the driver in a rude and agitated tone.

"I am doing the best I can, young Lady. Yelling at me is not going to help," the driver replied.

Lena had just changed her clothes and washed her face. She didn't even have the time to put a little make-up on. She just stormed out of the hospital as quickly as she could.

She didn't listen to the doctor's advice either.

The doctor had instructed her to rest quietly in bed. She shouldn't become overly excited, and most importantly, she shouldn't go outside.

Now she was doing the complete opposite of the doctor's advice.

When she heard the driver's response, Lena became so angry that her stomach felt like it was going to explode.

Somehow, she managed to hold her anger inside, and didn't argue with the driver.

Under normal circumstances, Lena would never take a taxi. However, this was an emergency, and she was in a hurry to get back home as quickly as she could. If she had her car at the hospital, she wouldn't have had to deal with this rude driver.

She felt disgusted with the taxi and the driver. Lena couldn't believe she had to sit in a car that so many other people had been driven in.

Finally, the taxi stopped in front of her house. She pulled out a few bills and threw the money on the seat. As she anxiously got out of the taxi, she called back to the driver to keep the change as a tip.

The driver watched Lena's retreating figure and thought to himself, 'A pretty girl from a rich family. No wonder she was rude.'

Lena pressed the doorbell. When the servant opened the door, she was startled to see Lena standing there. However, she still politely greeted her, "Miss Mu."

As far as Lena was aware, no one else knew about what she had done besides Raymond and Cora.

Lena didn't know if they had shared the information with anybody else.

Of course, she didn't know that many people on the Internet were already talking about it. However, none of the servants of the Mu family knew. They were too old to be on the Internet.

Lena impatiently acknowledged her greeting.

Then she asked as she walked into the house. "Is my brother home?"

The servant took the bag from Lena and shook her head. "No Miss Mu, he is not home. He might have gone to the company."

Upon hearing that, Lena grabbed her bag back from the servant and turned around, about to leave. She came home to see Ron. If Ron wasn't here, then she was going to look for him somewhere else.

However, just at that moment, Peggy walked into the living room. She saw Lena right away.

"Why are you home? Shouldn't you still be in the hospital?"

Peggy asked, looking at Lena in surprise.

Glancing at Peggy, Lena replied, "Mother, I have something really important that I need to discuss with my brother. Can you wait for a little while? I'll explain it to you later." Lena began walking towards the door.

However, Peggy ran over and blocked her way. She said, "Wait a moment! What do you want from Ron? He is working. You can't go to the company and bother him. What is so important that you can't just wait to talk to him after work?"

Lena felt frustrated. She replied, "Mother, it's really important. I have to talk to him as soon as possible."

Peggy frowned. "What can it be?"

Then she sighed and replied, "All right, you can go ahead and see him. But, you're not going to the company dressed like that, are you?" While speaking to her, Peggy looked Lena up and down.

Lena's hair was untidy and lay loosely around her shoulders. She didn't have any make-up on and her skin was pale and unpleasant. She didn't look ugly, but the red dress that she wore was wrinkled.

It wasn't a big deal for a girl to look a bit messy sometimes.

However, Peggy had a different requirement for her appearance and her daughter's.

She was afraid that Lena would shame and embarrass her and Ron.

It was obvious that Ron was more important than Lena in Peggy's heart.

Lena was shocked by Peggy's words. She didn't know what to say. Seeing Lena still standing there, Peggy commented, "Go upstairs and freshen up! Then you can go and see your brother. Don't make him embarrassed about having such an untidy sister like you."

Peggy's last words angered Lena. She felt how Peggy only cared about Ron. She felt like she had no place in Peggy's heart at all. Her life was going to be ruined, but her mother still only cared about her brother.

Lena sucked in a deep breath to hold her anger inside.

She replied, "I understand, Mother."

Lena then ran upstairs.

She tried her best to look presentable according to her mother's standards. It only took less than ten minutes for her to get changed and put on a little make-up.

Seeing how hurried Lena was, Peggy frowned. She felt that something was wrong.

However, the bad feeling didn't bother her for too long.

Lena finally arrived at the RA Group, and she went straight in.

However, the employee at the front desk stopped her. She asked, "Miss, good afternoon. Do you have an appointment?"

Lena was about to hit the roof. She couldn't believe that this girl was blocking her way. After all, she was Ron's sister by blood.

"No, I don't have one," she replied, holding her anger in.

"Miss, I'm sorry, but I can't let you in without an appointment. Would you like to make one now?" the receptionist asked politely.

Lena frowned. She pulled her phone out and made a call to Ron, but his assistant answered.

Whenever Ron was too busy, he would let his assistant handle his phone calls. So, it was the assistant who picked up Lena's call.

Lena told him who she was and the situation she was in at the front desk.

The assistant had a rough memory about Lena, so he put her on hold to check with Ron.

"Mr. Mu, a girl who claims she is your sister, is waiting in the lobby. She said she has an important matter to discuss with you."

However, what the assistant didn't know was that Ron didn't only have one sister. He had two.

Lena never really bothered Ron in the past. So, Ron assumed it was Ashley who was waiting for him.

Feeling surprised, he replied, "Is she here? Go and bring her here."

Then after thinking about it for a moment, he commented, "Don't worry about it. I'll go and get her myself."

He then put all his work aside and took the CEO elevator down to the lobby.

Seeing that Lena was calling someone, the girl at the front desk assumed that she knew someone inside the company. So she didn't give Lena a hard time.

Ron arrived at the lobby. He looked around, trying to find Ashley. However, he couldn't see her.

Frowning, he asked his assistant, "Where is she?"

The assistant replied, "She might be at the front desk."

Lena noticed Ron the second he walked in. Walking to him, she asked, "Ron, who are you looking for?"

Ron subconsciously replied, "Ashley. My assistant said she's here to see me."
