Sarah was jumping in Stefan's arms in excitement and then at the corner of their eyes, they looked at Ashley's expression, which turned ugly first, then pale with a thoughtful expression, then dark.
Even Ronald was also peeping behind Stefan and Sarah and enjoying Ashley's expressions, who usually make only innocent and pitiful faces in front of others.
Ashley after hearing Sarah's entire conversation gone through so much turmoil, then she beat her forehead with her palm.
"People dig the grave for others, I dig my own grave. How can I do such a big mistake, where were my brain was when Sarah supported me? I should realize it long back when Sarah was overpraising me and supporting me even against Stefan and Ronald."
"If I wouldn't pass by this corridor now, I would never come to know her real intentions. Sarah, I will let your plan successfully execute, I will go nowhere from this city, let alone this palace, not to mention I will not let you win over me."
Ashley mumbles to herself with a dark face and fierce eyes, stamps her foot on the floor, and went from there.
As she went a little far Sarah and Stefan burst into laughter, even though they can hear what Ashley was mumbling, they can assume that she must be cursing herself for taking the bait, and now the first thing she will do is to plan something to cancel her trip to New York with Ronald.
Ronald also came out from behind the pillar, he has an impressive look on his face and clapped for Sarah.
"Wow Sarah, what a wonderful plan, now she herself will deny tagging along with for the New York trip."
Ronald's grumpy has changed into a thrilled one and he is smiling ear to ear.
"Hold on Ronald and shrink your big wide smile, you have to be careful first, Ashley is not an easy prey, your attitude can make her doubt you."
Sarah said, with deep thoughts. Nobody knows Ashley more than her, she turned into a person who doubts everything, and everybody, if Ronald will not take proper measures then their plan can be ruined.
"What does that mean?" Ronald asked.
He is confused because he is a guy with a transparent heart, not scheming like others, he doesn't know that he still has to be wary of Ashely.
"Ronald, Sarah means to that you have to be wary in front of Ashley. Listen neither pull too long face nor let reflect your thrilled side in front of her. Just behave very casually, as you adjusted with the plan to let her go with you. What's more indirectly, keep telling her the disadvantages for her of going along with you."
Stefan explained in detail, Ronald nods his head, but he was still confused and his blank face says it all.
"Ronald, listen Ashley has a malicious heart and as she betrayed you and me and everybody she has thought. She is getting betrayed, especially when it comes to you and me. She is wary and now she will suspect each and everything, she will not miss even a single expression of yours, did you get it."
Sarah solemnly makes Ronald understand the real character of Ashley who is still oblivious of many things even after seeing her true colors.
"Didn't she will deny herself to tag along with me for the New York trip? Sarah, I was assuming that as I will enter the room she will say, that she doesn't want to go to New York?"
Ronald was thrilled a few moments before, but Sarah's words filled with the fact disappointed him.
"No, she will not deny directly. Today Ashley was praised by everybody that she is a good devoting wife, now she will not dare to deny and make everybody furious. It will not help her staying back and compete with me for gaining the family's love and trust."
"Then what is the plan?" Ronald asked impatiently.
"We don't need to think, she will think on her own to stay back letting nobody doubt her."
Stefan said confidently, getting the latter half of his wife's plan.
"Yes, it's her headache, not ours, you just do as Stefan said, irritate her with the plans of the New York trip, but don't be thrilled. What's more, I will pretend thrilled and excited to bid her farewell.".
"Sarah, you are a genius, this is such a wonderful plan. Thank you so much." Ronald said with an ear-to-ear smile.
"After all, she is my angel."
Stefan's romantic side again activated, he praised Sarah and lean towards her face ambiguously.
Ronald immediately closed his eyes and yell, "Oh, get in your room please and spare my virgin eyes."
While saying this he immediately turned around and stride from there, if he would be a second late to close his eyes he would have to witness the open romance of his brother and sister-in-law.
'Ahh, finally my disturbed thoughts eased, now I don't need to think the solution of all these problems anymore, because Ashley is there to exercise her brain, then why would I bother. She will think the solution of her problem as mine as well.'
Ronald thought with an evil smirk and stride towards his bedroom, he entered with a calm heart and as expected he saw Ashley is lost in her own thoughts.
"Ashley, I am here to remind you please pack every necessary piece of stuff for the next few months according to New York's weather. Later don't ask me for anything because I won't be able to take you shopping because I will be busy with establishment work and will not have time for anything else."
"On top of that, New York is a crowded city, unlike our city, so I will not you go alone for shopping and all, as well. So, it's better you start your packing from today onwards, don't forget anything."
Ronald said and noticed Ashley didn't respond which makes his smirk grew wider.
"Ashely, did you hear me?"
Ronald snapped his finger in front of Ashley's face and pulled her out of her thoughts.
'Oh, now Ronald is seriously interested in taking me along with him, but I can't go and I can't even say this to him, for the first time he is taking so much care of me, but if I will go from here, I will lose this family.'
'Argh Sarah, I have you to push me in this dilemma.'
Ashley looked at Ronald's face, which was looking calm while reading some file sitting on the couch.
Ashley sighed and mumbles, "Now I have to do something fast."
After thinking for a while, finally, Ashley got a plan and her lips twitched into an evil smirk.
"Wow, that's a perfect plan, after that not only Ronald in fact everybody will ask me not to tag along with Ronald on his business trip. Yes, I will execute it at the right time."
