chapter 17 Counterfeit

"Ashburn, what the hell are you doing?" Hebe was so shocked that he actually beat Marico in front of Reina. If the York family pursued the investigation, the Willow family would not be able to get rid of it. Then she turned around and apologized to Reina, "Miss York, this trash has nothing to do with our Willow family. I will definitely let my daughter divorce him. This tacky idiot didn't know how we appreciate the York family and dared to beat Mr. York. I will call the police now, and testify with the police station!” She hurriedly took out her mobile phone and was about to call the police when she heard Reina say calmly, "He is not Mr. York. We don't have such a person in the York family at all." "Wha...what?"Hebe was stunned, and her brain went blank. Reina slowly walked up to Marico, "Who are you?" "Miss York, please forgive me. I just... made a mistake in a moment of stupidity. Please forgive me this time." Marico’s face was pale. He was from the East State and knew the York family's style of methods of tackling this kind of thing in the East State. His body trembled like chaff-sifting. "Why are you pretending to be a member of the York family?" "I just want... I just want to deceive a few women and get some benefits..." Katrina was dumbfounded. After a while, she came to her senses and rushed towards Marico like crazy, "Marico, you lied to me, you lied to me, didn't you? You always drove luxury cars to pick me up every time we went on a date, If you are not Mr. York, then where did you get these cars from?” "I have a friend who owns a car beauty shop in Narada. I work there. Luxury cars often come to the shop for maintenance and decoration. Their car keys are kept with me, and I drive them out secretly. "Marico's voice became lower and lower, unable to look directly into Katrina's eyes. "You bastard!" Katrina slapped Marico crisply on the face. She had already lost her face once at Hyman's birthday party last time, and this time she was humiliated. Even her boyfriend's identity was fake. If this spread, she would become the biggest joke in the social circle. She rushed towards Marico crazily and scratched several blood marks on his face. Several policemen appeared at the door and quickly came over to pull Katrina away. One of the policemen asked, "Who called the police?" "Me." Reina walked towards the police and briefly told them the situation. Ashburn put her hands in her trouser pockets and looked at Marico condescendingly, "Young Master York, what else do you have to say now?" Marico was so despaired that he couldn't say anything. How could he have expected that a loser like Ashburn would meet Reina? It complied with the old saying, he had it coming, he only had himself to blame. Then, the police learned about the situation and took Marico away directly. Reina and Lucine also said goodbye to Ashburn. Hebe was devastated as if she was demented. This blow was too great for her. She had never had a high status in the Willow family, which favoured sons over daughters. She gave birth to two daughters in a row. Not only did her mother-in-low despise her, but even the Trocy’s wife teased her. Then she had a son-in-law who was a loser, so she placed all her hopes on Marico, but she didn't expect that he was still a fake. Katrina was weeping silently on the side. She thought she had found Marico from an aristocratic family as her boyfriend. She showed off in various circles in her circle of friends. How should she explain all this to her best friend now? They would regard her as a joke. Ashburn originally wanted to mock them with a few words and express his bad temper, but seeing them in such a state, he didn't have the heart to do it. He sighed and walked out of the ward slowly. When passing by the parking lot, he saw Gina looking furious. She had just handled the pension arrangement for Perry's plane crash and rushed over as soon as she received a call from her mother. "Ashburn!" Gina saw him and came over quickly, nervously, "I heard from mom that you and Marico fought?" "Yes." "Are you hurt?" Ashburn was stunned. Seeing the worry between her eyebrows, he felt something strange in his heart. When hearing he fought with Marico, Hebe and Katrina would only blame him. Katrina's behaviour was understandable, but Hebe's judgement was too biased. They didn't ask why he fought with Marico, and they didn't care whether he was injured or not. Gina's words made him feel a little warm, but he didn't show it and still said calmly, " Marico is not the young master of the York family in East State at all. He has been taken away by the police now." "What?" Gina was stunned. "Go and see Mom and Kathy." "Good." Gina hurried to the ward, where Hebe and Katrina were holding each other's arms and crying. After consoling them for a long time, Gina finally comforted the two of them. He drove them back first. Katrina hid in the room and refused to come out. Hebe sat on the sofa in the living room, looking as if dead, with dull eyes. Hyman came home and frowned when he saw this scene, "What's going on?" "Dad, that Marico... is not the young master of the York family, he is fake," Gina said. Hyman stayed for a while and said, "That’s true?" Gina said, "The police had taken him for investigation." "I originally hoped that Kathy could marry with the York family, relying on them we could pull up a game. Now it's all over. By the way, where is Ashburn?" "He..." Gina lowered her head, hesitating whether to confess to her father that Ashburn proposed a divorce to her. Hyman sighed, "What I said in the morning was a little harsh. After all, he did save your life. But how could he predict that something would happen to the plane?" "He didn't say that something would happen to the plane, he just... said that I would die in my 24..." "He really got it right. His grandfather was a Taoist monk during his lifetime. He might indeed know something about it." Hebe suddenly sneered, "What kind of knowledge? Every dog has his day. If he really had this kind of ability, he wouldn't be trash for such a long time!" She was angry now, Oh, she felt very uncomfortable, especially when she knew Marico was a counterfeit! She didn't blame herself for not knowing people well and being deceived by Marico. Instead, she spread all her anger on Ashburn. Gina frowned slightly, "Mom, you are unreasonable. Did Ashburn provoke you? I know you feel wronged, but what's the matter with you scolding him for no reason? If he hadn't exposed Marico, you and Kathy are still deceived." "Hmph, do you think he means well? He just wants to laugh at me!" "Okay, stop arguing. Don't you think this house is chaotic enough?" Hyman was upset, lit a cigarette and took a breath of smoke, "I heard that the Trocy’s wife is about to give birth. If she gives birth to a boy, make mother happy, and he would start coveting our company." Gina was very worried. Now their Willow Company was facing many difficulties. The group headquarters had always been very dissatisfied. Uncle Trocy had the desire to take over their company and was just waiting for grandma to say yes. If another boy was born in Trocy's family, her grandma would be pleased， she could allow Trocy to take over all the family industries, including the Willow Company.
