Jordan and Mia couldn't believe what she was seeing, the one in front of them appearing as a boss of them was the man they had been looking down on.Clayton looked at them coldly, the look in his eyes was terrifying, and the difference was felt by the two people tied to the chair in disbelief, then Clayton moved his eyes, and a man dressed in black who was there immediately opened their mouths so rudely."You son of a bitch! From the moment you came to my family, I knew very well that something was wrong with me, and now you're showing me yourself. What an ignorant son of a bitch!"Mia was still acting arrogantly, as if she could escape from there immediately. But because of her shouting, the person dressed in black immediately kicked the chair there, making Mia's body jerk."Hey! What are you doing!? I'm not going to let you all go! You'll all get your comeuppance!" Jordan looked at them one by one, threatening them with a frightening glare, but none were afraid."You've made a mista
The place was dark, making it difficult for him to see his surroundings. But Clayton seemed to see himself, the cold expression on his face would make people afraid of him.Clayton felt very uneasy, he felt his whole body responding to it. In the real world, his body moved his breathing became so heavy that the people sleeping in his room had the same feeling that he was very agitated."Clayton, Clayton." Ahren called his name repeatedly, she touched Clayton's shoulder carefully and softly."Clayton," Clayton called again to the man whose entire body seemed to be oozing cold sweat.Ahren pursed her lips together, looking a little uneasy.Suddenly Clayton caught her hand, he opened his eyes wide and gave Ahren a very frightening glare. His strength was so great that Ahren felt a great pain in her wrist."Clayton... it hurts..." Ahren called out his name, the pain making her body tremble slightly, and that's when Clayton's terrifying gaze turned into his usual one.Ahren immediately wit
Ron was so angry that he couldn't accept losing to this unknown man in front of him. After all, he was the one who was very often targeted by women, and this also hurt his pride, because of that anger he raised his hand and tried to punch Clayton.His fist was very strong. He was sure his aim would hit Clayton from a close distance, but Clayton caught the fist and gave a very sharp look. Suddenly Ron's body was violently pushed so that he fell to the floor, crashing into the tables and chairs around him."Do you only want to hear what you want to hear?" Clayton was now standing in a straighter position, he pushed the chair slightly behind him and glared intimidatingly at Ron."You cheated on her! You did something to get her to side with you!" Ron was now standing up, he swatted at his ass several times in annoyance.Alexa walked until she finally stopped near Ron, visibly upset that her boyfriend had caused his mess."Hey! I dumped you because you caused the trouble in the first plac
Clayton decided something different, this time, he moved on his own accord and felt that he would not burden Ahren. No one would be angry, that damn man who was always cursing at Ahren and doing despicable things was gone, so Clayton could do anything. His position was much higher than theirs.He didn't come empty-handed; he bought a beautiful bouquet of roses, and people were inquisitive when he got off in the car."Who is it? It looks like he's going to meet his girlfriend." Some of the workers on the ground floor immediately started talking about it, something like this had never happened before, making them curious.Clayton walked over, and they could see the face more clearly, making those curious look at each other and their frowns furrowed."Isn't that a useless husband? He must have come here to show that he has a good relationship with Madam Ahren. Ah, he's so shameless to be here."A short-haired woman spoke. She looked at Clayton closely, although they were pretty far away
They had dinner in a quiet and luxurious place. Having dinner just the two of them at least made them seem to become closer again."Now you've changed a lot, Back then, you didn't dare to fight against those who oppressed you, Clayton." Ahren put on her safety belt while looking at Clayton."There are a lot of changes that happened in a short time that made me respond to what others did to me."Ahren was a little speechless at that. Then he slightly lowered his shoulders, which had felt tense earlier."It's not that I don't like your changes, I do."Ahren spoke now with more expression, and there also seemed to be feeling in her words. That made Clayton happy. At least the husband and wife relationship between them seemed to be getting better. But just as a smile was about to appear on her face, she became silent again as she remembered something disturbing."Ahren, what if I'm completely different from the person you know now? I mean, maybe I'm a worse person than you think...?"Clay
There was doubt in her eyes. Even though she had worn nice clothes, there was a great sense of worry. The past was still haunting her, in front of the mirror, she looked down unconsciously. Ahren's heart was beating uncomfortably. There might be something more than the other Astor family members would do to them.Unconsciously, she had exhaled repeatedly, the hatred and doubt mixed within her. A family should have a warm relationship, but not the Astor family. It would require a wrong path if they could be at the highest peak. They would step on and pull down those in front of them."Ahren, you look very worried. If they see this from you, they will take great pleasure in destroying you, Ahren." Clayton, of course, noticed, he could guess what Ahren was worried about. The truth was that he didn't want to come to the Astor family party, but he couldn't just run away."Yes, I know. I will try hard to hide this expression on my face. And since we're still at home, I'm not trying to hide
The new head of the family after Daniel was Ramon. He was the first son of Daniel and had a cold demeanor and a sharp glance in his eyes. He was also a man of few words. He had a seemingly calm demeanor but was still eager for profit. For him, if something could bring great profit to the Astor family, especially him, it would help him a lot, and he would be very proud of it.This looked like a party, but it was actually just a meeting between the Astor family along with some people who were very close to them. Usually, these brought their spouses here to boast and as if to get closer."It's been a while since I've seen you, Ahren. Now that you've grown so much, I hear you've become the head of a company." Ramon spoke, sitting at the end of the dining table. Many others were also sitting there, although there were many empty places.When Ramon spoke, all attention was immediately drawn to Ahren."Thank you, Uncle, for complimenting me." Ahren showed herself capable of replying to Ramon
"You insolent bastard, how dare you speak in this place. You're the one who shouldn't be talking at all because you have no manners." Flori headed towards Clayton, remembering what it felt like to be humiliated by that man. So, she held a powerful grudge against Clayton."Isn't this a family gathering, and any one member of the Astor family can speak?" Clayton looked calm and was able to return Flori's glare.There were even some people there who were not members of the Astor family who could be here calmly."Are you not self-aware? You've never been considered a member of the Astor family. You're a useless and troublesome man. Now you're talking as if your wife can work with a company the Arnould family owns. What a fool."Other than Flori, the others also seemed to strongly disapprove of Clayton being here. They were forced to accept it and did not expect him to discuss creating an unpleasant atmosphere."Ahren has the ability, and anyone member of the Astor family can follow this.
