Jose wobbled a few steps before he fell to the ground.The exchange silenced the room.Drevik looked away from Alora and stared at Ashton, dressed casually at the door.He said lightly, "Choose a way to die. I am in a good mood tonight. I will try my best to make it less painful for you." He did not ask who he was or his purpose."Let the woman go. I can pretend that what happened tonight did not happen." Ashton looked at him."What did you say?" Drevik dug his ears as if he could not believe what he heard.Someone had dared to order him to release the prey he had been searching for several years. Drevik wondered if the fool had lost his mind."Mister Galloway, that's him. He's the woman's ex-husband. He must have slept with that woman a long time ago. Damn him!" Jose got up from the ground and shouted hysterically."What?" Drevik's expression changed. He stood up from the couch, and his eyes were fixed on Ashton as if he were looking at a dead man."Damn you, bastard! How dar

"Police Superintendent Clark, what do you mean?"Alora did not understand what was happening."Just ask him if you want to know what's happening." Weston held back his anger.He was still mad at how Ashton used the Lockwood family's name to show off in front of him.Since the Lockwood family was in trouble and Ashton was arrested, Weston wanted to make Ashton's life hell.In fact, Weston had just received the news.His immediate superior, Chief Superintendent Hadley, personally ordered Ashton's arrest. The man allegedly committed a crime in the Prosperitus Hotel, wounding the third son of the Galloway family, a prominent family from the Central South region. Ashton also maimed Cashel and was suspected of murder.The Galloway family personally requested them to catch the murderer and punish him with death."Why did you have to go offend the Galloway family? I wonder who can save you this time?" Weston squinted at Ashton coldly, then turned his head to look at Alora. "A pretty wo

Risks could only be taken if there were benefits, but the risks were more significant at that moment. The Royal Sealift Group and Anthony, who threatened him, were already a challenge. Though he could afford to lose the money, he could not risk his life at any time."What do you mean by this? Didn't you agree to my terms? Why did you change your mind all of a sudden? The Galloway family will not appreciate your behavior." Even though Uncle Elfred was speaking with a smile, the displeasure on his face was evident.Bruce could not help it, even if he knew the other party was upset. He smiled wryly and said, "Uncle Elfred, the information you gave us was inaccurate. No one told me that Ashton Levin has ties with the Royal Sealift Group, and Anthony from Saffron came forward to protect him. I'm just a mere chief superintendent. I can't go against these two groups.""Anthony? From the Acton Chamber of Commerce? He is supporting Ashton? Has he stepped forward?" Uncle Elfred's eyes narrowe

"Mister Hadley, your son almost got your whole family killed, and he almost killed us all too," the chief of the police department said mockingly, with a half-smile.Landon Hadley laughed nervously. His face seemed to have aged 20 years in an instant. The whites in his hair were suddenly more visible.Team Leader Jewells stood up and ordered two people to restrain Bruce."You! What are you doing?" Bruce turned pale with shock."What am I doing? You bent the law for personal gain, abused your power, and tampered with the case file. You have committed 43 crimes since five years ago. Now, the department has decided to sentence you to the death penalty and send you to the Water Prison." Team Leader Jewells smiled coldly."Water? Water prison?" Bruce lost control over his bowel movements again."Get him out! He stinks!" Team Leader Jewell frowned and waved his hands impatiently.After Bruce was dragged out of the room, Landon looked at the leaders with a wry smile. "Guys, can we redu

The Latham family could not fight the situation. Everyone was bound and made to kneel by the Galloway family's secret guards.Drevik enjoyed the feeling of being worshiped and others begging him for mercy. His condescending speech made him seem like an emperor who could kill anyone on a whim. "All of you will die today thanks to this little bitch. So, if you want someone to blame, you can blame her."The Galloway family is prominent in the Central South. Mister Galloway has never been wronged like this. This is a provocation to the Galloway family. Only blood can wash away the humiliation." Uncle Elfred snorted coldly."You guys are unreasonable!" Alora's eyes were red. "It was obvious that you were plotting against me. If Ashton had not saved me, you would've had your way with me. Now you, the villain, claimed to be the victim and blamed us for your mess. Why even bother coming up with such excuses?"You can't beat Ashton, so you just vent your anger on my family. What kind of man
