"What the hell did you do?" Elena stared angrily at Vanessa.
"Well, since you're going to die anyway, I might as well tell you the entire truth. We plotted your mother's accident. Why wouldn't we? After all, the Ashford Group would be entirely ours when none of the Ashford family members are left!" Vanessa laughed in an evil manner.
When Elena heard Vanessa's words, something clicked in her mind. Eliminating the entire Ashford family? Did this mean that her father's death was also not natural?
"Did you do something to my father too?" Elena's voice was shaking when she asked this question. She was scared to know the truth. Knowing the truth about her mother's death was enough to give her more pain than she already felt, but if Vanessa told her that they were involved in her father's death too, it would be too much for her to handle.
Evan and Vanessa both looked at Elena and from what Elena saw on their faces; it seemed that her guess was right. They also had something to do with her father's death.
"Yes, we poisoned your father slowly. After your mother passed away, your father had already lost his will to live. We just gave him an easy death!" said Evan. He was telling everything like it was not a big deal and he had done a favor on Reginald Ashford by murdering him.
Elena couldn't believe it. She closed her eyes regretfully. Why didn't she listen to her father when he opposed to hers and Evan's marriage? Why did she force him to agree? Obviously, she was a fool. And even if her father didn't like Evan, he had given in for her sake. What did he get in return? The end of his entire family. Elena didn't know how would she face her father in the netherworld. She regretted it! She regretted everything. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regrets.
"Okay now, that's enough! Quickly get rid of her!" Margot said to the Evan and Vanessa.
Elena lied on the floor listlessly. She was trying to process everything but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't accept this. She couldn't accept this fate. She wanted revenge. She wanted to pay these people a hundred times of what they had done to her.
Suddenly, Evan pulled Elena up and pushed her towards the door. "Elena, now that you know everything, it's time to leave the world."
Elena's eyes widened. They really wanted to kill her. What should she do? Would she die just like that? She knew that she couldn't convince Evan emotionally as he didn't have any feelings for her. However, he cared about himself. She could threaten him.
"Evan, if you murder me, you won't be able to explain it to the police. You will spend your entire life in prison!"
Hearing her words, Evan laughed, "Elena, you're so stupid. Didn't you understand our way of working until now? Do you think that I'm a fool?"
Elena was confused. She didn't know what Evan was trying to say. Did he have a plan in which he would achieve his motive without getting convicted? The queries in her mind were soon answered.
Evan showed his phone to Elena where he had opened his social media account. The top trending search was "The heiress of Ashford family is infertile!"
Evan also opened this link for Elena to read the details. The person who had posted this had mentioned that Elena was too depressed when she came to know that she couldn't bear a child. Moreover, her father's death added to her depression.
Elena rarely appeared in public as she had devoted her entire life to the Cross family. Moreover, she didn't have any friends other than Vanessa. So, nobody could tell what was the truth.
"Don't you think that it's very plausible for a depressed person to commit suicide?" Evan looked at Elena with meaningful eyes.
Elena understood everything now! They had plotted everything. They had taken care of everything. She would definitely die today but her murderers would not get their punishment. Everything was well planned.
Elena closed her eyes as Evan dragged her to the outhouse. She knew that if she didn't resist now, she would definitely die. So, she bit Evan's hand fiercely.
"Ah! You b*tch!" Evan screamed and subconsciously let go of Elena. Elena gathered her strength and ran as fast as she could!
"Catch her!" Vanessa instructed the servants while eyeing them.
The servants got their clue and all the male servants ran to catch Elena.
Elena had just run a few meters when the servants caught up to her. Two of them held both her arms tightly while touching her inappropriately. Rest of them also took advantage of the situation and were trying to get their way.
"What's this? What's going on? How dare you touch me!" Elena screamed.
