The Thousand and First Fall into Love

The door suddenly flew open with a loud bang, and a bunch of people barged in. A camera flash went off with a click, jolting Ashley Wilson awake from her daze.

Her clothes were scattered all over the floor, and her exposed skin was covered in red and purple bruises, making it pretty clear what had just gone down.

Voices started rising around her. Ashley, only covered by a thin blanket, instinctively pulled it tighter around herself.

Just as she was about to ask who these people were, a middle-aged man stormed over and slapped her hard across the face. Ashley clutched her cheek, her ears ringing.

"You shameless bitch! How could you do this to Easton?" an angry voice demanded.

Ashley looked up, confused, and saw her father, Jasper Wilson, glaring at her furiously.

Behind him stood a man and a woman. The woman, with delicate features, was her sister Kira Wilson, and the man was her fiancé, Easton Clark.

Kira covered her mouth in shock. "Ashley, didn't you say you were planning a surprise for Easton? Why are you with another man?"

Easton stood silently beside her, his face dark.

Ashley snapped back to reality and hurriedly tried to explain, "No, listen to me. Someone came into my room by mistake, he—"

"Stop lying!" Jasper yelled, his eyes blazing with anger. "You've disgraced our family! I must have been blind to adopt a slut like you! From now on, you are no longer a Wilson. Get out!"

Ashley stared in disbelief. "Dad, you're kicking me out?"

Jasper's face was stern. Kira stepped forward with a look of regret. "Ashley, you're marrying Easton next month. Even if you have needs, you shouldn't sleep with another man now!"

Ashley's eyes turned red with anger as she saw Kira still stirring things up, and she shouted, "Shut up!"

Kira stepped back, clutching her chest as if she was frightened. Jasper immediately moved to shield her, glaring at Ashley.

"Enough! Ashley, your engagement to Easton is off! You have one day to leave the Wilson Villa, or I will personally throw you out!" Jasper roared, turned, and stormed out.

"Dad! Dad!" Ashley shouted, trying to explain, but Jasper left without looking back.

The surrounding reporters were ecstatic. They had been invited to cover the union of the Wilson and Clark families, but instead, they stumbled upon a scandal! Ashley wasn't even a real daughter of the Wilson family!

This news would definitely make headlines!

The reporters excitedly took photos, but Kira stepped in to stop them, speaking softly, "Dear reporters, Ashley has already been through enough. This is a private family matter. Please, no more photos, okay?"

At Kira's request, the reporters exchanged glances, nodded, and left the room.

Once everyone was gone, Kira's demeanor changed from gentle to sly as she smiled, "Ashley, how does it feel to be abandoned by everyone?"

Seeing Kira's expression, Ashley suddenly understood. "Kira, it was you!"

Kira laughed, and Easton wrapped his arm around her, both looking at Ashley with mocking eyes.

"Yeah, I picked him just for you—a filthy, smelly homeless guy from under the bridge!" Kira said with a hint of regret. "Too bad we were late, and the reporters didn't catch his face."

Otherwise, Ashley would be utterly ruined!

Ashley's eyes widened in shock. A homeless man? The man from last night was a homeless man! She opened her mouth and looked at Easton, who remained indifferent.

Easton, her fiancé, was now looking tenderly at Kira, her sister.
