MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 7 - Season 12 Episode 96

Peter was silent for a moment. Then the veins on his forehead bulged, and he finally couldn’t control the hatred within him anymore. While grimacing, he shouted at Ashley, “You shameless bitch! How dare you say that I’m ruthless?”

It seemed that he had suppressed his emotions for too long, and his sudden outburst shocked everyone except Lucas.

Ashley had never seen Peter so furious before. Moreover, he had called her a shameless bitch, astonishing her so much that she subconsciously took a step back and stared at him.

Lucas wasn’t surprised at all.

Peter finally dropped his facade and revealed his true colors!

!!
This was why Lucas had wanted to anger Peter.

The reason he had held back and didn’t do anything thus far was just to anger Peter and make him rage.

Peter was extremely good at pretending, and in order to achieve his goals, he had put on the facade of a handsome, cheerful, and caring man. But was this really the case?

The truth was far from this.

When Lucas deliberately stayed behind to communicate with Peter earlier, Peter had dropped his pretense and revealed his true character.

For a man with a twisted mind like Peter, he would easily reveal his true colors in front of everyone once he lost his temper.

As long as Ashley saw the true colors of the man she had loved for years and realized how twisted his mind was, she would be utterly disappointed and completely give up on him to start life afresh.

“Peter, wh-what did you say? You actually called me that word?” Ashley pressed her lips together tightly, her eyes red.

She never thought that her first love, whom she had been in love with for years and had planned to spend the rest of her life with, would actually maliciously call her a shameless bitch.

“Am I wrong to call you a shameless bitch?”

Since Peter had already started, he decided to drop all his pretense as he put on a menacing expression and revealed his true colors.

“You bitch, you cheated me out of my feelings for four years! You made me want to approach you from our first year in college until we graduated! You ruined four years of my life. Why can’t I call you a shameless bitch?” Peter said overbearingly.

“Hah, if I hadn’t found someone to investigate you and your family, you might have really deceived me into marrying you. If that had happened, my life would have been completely ruined!”

“Deceived you into marrying me?! You… you actually said that I deceived you?” Ashley wondered if she had heard wrongly.

She didn’t have any hidden agenda for dating Peter, and all she had hoped was for them to get married and grow old together. Despite her family’s disapproval of her marrying a poor man with a low status, she gritted her teeth, resisted the pressure, and finally convinced them to give in.

But on the day of the engagement party, Peter didn’t show up. He had bailed on Ashley and caused her to become a laughing stock. All her hard work and effort had been in vain.

Now, Peter actually accused Ashley of deceiving him for years and almost ruining her life.

Ashley felt extremely confused. She had no idea why Peter would accuse her of this.

Besides, Peter’s current expression was ferocious and full of hatred and anger. It was a side of him that Ashley had never seen before.

She felt like he was a complete stranger.

Peter questioned angrily, “When I first met you, didn’t you tell me that your father was the most capable person in the Steele family and that he would definitely become the Steeles’ helmsman?

“And your brother, Alexander, you said that he was highly valued by the Steeles and that he could inherit the position of helmsman even if your father didn’t.”

With tears in her eyes, Ashley said, “I spoke the truth! When my father was still alive, he was the most capable one among his siblings. If he hadn’t gotten into an accident for the family, he would have definitely become the next helmsman!

“Besides, my brother was indeed highly valued by the family. Among my cousins, he is the most capable one. How did I lie to you?”

Peter sneered. “But what happened later? Your father died, and even your family of three has been kicked out by the Steeles. Yet you still have the audacity to say that you didn’t lie to me?”

Ashley opened her mouth, at a complete loss for words.

When she first got to know Peter, she naturally told him about her situation at the time.

After her father passed away later, the elders of the Steeles started competing against each other, and her brother was ostracized.

It was really absurd to accuse her of lying for the things that happened later.

This was clearly common sense, yet Peter blamed her for it!

And regarding her family of three being forced to leave the Steeles, Ashley really didn’t know what to say about this.

Peter sneered at Ashley again. “You’re speechless, huh? I thought that you’d have a bright future, but it turned out that you lied to me for four years. You made me waste four years on you. In the end, you even almost deceived me into marrying you!

“If I hadn’t found out the true situation of your family and escaped in time, you would have probably really duped me into marrying you. In that case, there’d be one more person kicked out of the Steeles today!”

Peter reprimanded with certainty, “Weren’t you deceiving me?”

Ashley was stunned for a few seconds before finally processing what Peter said.

Tears immediately flowed out of Ashley’s eyes.

Ashley smiled miserably. “It turns out that’s what you mean by deceiving you. No wonder you left without saying anything and made me wait from morning until midnight. Even until the next morning, you still didn’t show up. So, that’s your reason!

“Then, did you fabricate the news of your death and even the so-called token you left behind and the reports of the accident? You deliberately used the news of your death to stimulate me and make me feel guilty and miserable, right?” Ashley questioned as more tears rolled down her pale cheeks.
