"When my daughter Sarah revealed the real deeds of Ashley, what did you do? Did you teach her any lesson and refrain her not to repeat her mistakes in the future?"
"No, nothing, you just turned a blind eye from her in the name of being angry. Neither you made her understand that what she has done or doing is wrong, nor as her father you are keeping an eye over the future activities of your daughter, just let her do whatever she is doing with everyone's life."
"Back in the past, at Sarah's wedding ceremony, when I tried to make you understand Ashley is wrong, Sarah couldn't elope from the marriage, just look at your daughter's deeds, you called me biased towards Sarah. You not only have failed as a father but have failed as a husband. And I couldn't let a failure to intervene in the matters related to me and my daughter."
Laura said in a haste, pouring all the conflicts that she had for Sebastian. She had a strong feeling that so much still was left in her heart, but right now nothing is more important than Sarah's health.
Ashley, once again drained of her face by her own tears, walked in front of Laura and went down on her knees. "Aunt Laura, please don't burst your anger on my dad, he has no fault of his, all the mistake was mine, please forgive me for the last time and ask Sarah to let it go."
Once upon a time, Laura had sympathy for Ashley, who is a motherless child. When she had got married to Sebastian, she tried to shower with motherly love for her. Now Ashley was trying to take advantage of Laura's softness towards her.
"Yes, Ashley, it was your fault, in fact, it's a sin, but nobody will let it go. This time I will not let anybody save you from your punishment." Amy wiped her and said with venom.
"Officer, please take her away from here," Andrew said and turned his head from Ashley and looked at the guest at the party apologetically. "My apologies all to the guests that you had to witness such a scene in my party. Please forgive me and my family, the party is over."
The guests in Walter's party were all high socialites, many proud and dignified elites already had left the party, understanding the sensitivity of the matter, those who were left to see the high pitch drama were not moved out after Andrew's warm request.
"Dad, please don't let police arrest me, please forgive me for the last time, I promise I will not let you down." Ashley pleaded with folded hands.
"You are not eligible to get any forgiveness. You have such a malicious heart, that you not only tried to kill Stefan and Sarah but had planned a trap for Stella to get punished for your deeds," Jack said. "Why did you do this to her, she has always been good to you."
Everybody wanted to know what was in Ashley's heart, because now they couldn't even fathom the depth of Ashley's spiteful, nasty, and mean nature.
Stella came out of Jack's embrace, stood in front of Ashley, and said, "She wanted to trap you because a few days back when we got the news of Sarah's pregnancy she tried her best to provoke me against not only Sarah but from everybody. She kept on saying that once Sarah's baby will be born I will lose my place in this family, so I should be wary."
"Her entire plan had failed when mom made me understand that the baby will not only belong to Sarah and Stefan in the future but he will be our nephew too. I realized that if I could get through the flow of Ashley's words, I would have turned into a malicious woman like her. I mended my ways at the right time and warned her not to try any more tricks in the family."
"Since then, she is despised by me and has used the opportunity to remove me and Sarah together from her life like a thorn in her eyes."
Back then Stella didn't reveal anything about Ashley for Ronald's sake, but now when Ashley has already touched not only hers but everybody's bottom line why should she refrain from expressing herself anymore.
"I had never known that you are such a scheming woman, otherwise I would never have considered my son's marriage to you," Julia said, after recovering from the shock.
Every member of the Walter family was in disbelief that they have an enemy in their house, planning and plotting against everybody in the house.
Sebastian was even more embarrassed because of Ashley. "Ashley, I can't believe you are my blood, why did you do this with everybody."
"Mr. Miller, it's no point to talk to Ashley about it now as you have already overlooked her mistakes so far, so better, still stay out of it," Daniel said and turned towards the police officer again. "Officer, I request you, please arrest this girl and punish her according to the law."
"Wait, officer, a few things are still left incomplete, let me reveal that too."
Before the officer could arrest Ashley, Ronald meddled. The police officer was also getting fed up with this woman's drama, but he had no choice rather than wait silently in front of the Walters.
Sarah, who was sitting on a chair because her health was deteriorating, alerted by Ronald's words. She stood up with the help of Stefan, walked a few steps, and blocked Ronald's path.
"Ronald, now everything is over, so no need to drag this matter anymore, just let everything go."
"No, Sarah, not again. You already have let this matter always go in the past, which only ends up you in an infinity of troubles. Now you will do as I will say, give me that video, now." Ronald's tone was overbearing and seemed like he would not listen today.
Ashley's face turned pale when Ronald mentioned the video, and she knew what he was talking about. It turned out that Ronald already knew about it, that's why he was so mad at her.
"But Ronald........"
Sarah wanted to continue arguing, but Stefan meddled between them, he knew Sarah will convince Ronald if she will argue anymore.
"No Sarah, in this matter Ronald is right and I support him, let this video be disclosed in front of everybody."
"Stefan, Sarah, Ronald, what are you all talking about, what the heck is in this video regarding? Why are you not letting the police officer arrest Ashley?" Jack said, losing his patience, seeing Ashley still standing in front of them after hurting his wife.
Everybody was confused about what this new thing is left about this woman to be revealed, and what is in store in that video that Sarah and Stefan are fighting for.
"That is because something is still left incomplete, I want to let it be complete first," Ronald said, unmoved by Sarah's pleads.
He knew Sarah does not think about herself, but somebody has to bother to think about her.
"But Stefan, Ronald tries to......"
Sarah was trying to coax Stefan and Ronald but her words were left incomplete because her head started reeling again, she held her head and the next moment she swooned. She was going to fall, but before that Stefan and Ronald held her from either side.
