Chapter 8

Ashley was soon whisked away by the police. She never expected Chase to be this ruthless. It was unfathomable to think that he was willing to go down with the ship to see her behind bars. Inside the interrogation room, Ashley grew desperate to save herself. She lashed out like a cornered beast, spilling all the dirt she had on Chase. "He was the one who told me to do it! He told me to pour hot water on Willow! He forged financial statements to obtain bank loans and even ordered me to steal trade secrets!" She handed over the conversations she secretly recorded between her and Chase, along with copies of some documents. What Ashley once planned on using as blackmail now became irrefutable evidence against him. While investigating her communication records, the police uncovered an even more shocking secret—the anonymous email sent to Mr. Jenning was Ashley's doing. Everything had been part of her scheme. She first sent an anonymous report to sour Mr. Jenning's view of the company.
