"Mister Lockwood, you came at the right time. Otherwise, I would have killed him." Ashton smiled."Knowing the Galloway family, retaliation was inevitable. So, I have sent out scouts after them. After detecting their presence here, I immediately led my men here. Fortunately, we were not too late." Zion felt relieved for his foresight.What he did undoubtedly made Ashton owe the Lockwood family another favor.For him, the more favors, the better. Being able to bind Ashton to the Lockwood family was the best thing that could happen to them. Ashton was like a dangerous weapon that their enemies feared most.Even for Zion's troops, there were significant benefits. If he had the opportunity to meet Darek again, he could use Ashton to his advantage."If it's okay, I'll leave now. Sorry to trouble you to deal with the aftermath." Ashton glanced at the Latham family members, who had not recovered from their despair, and then at Alora. He turned around and left after.After Ashton left, Z
Yanne stared at the turquoise pendant in her hand as she sat in front of the dressing table in the warm room.Ashton had given her the pendant. He said that it was the symbol for the Lockwood family's daughter-in-law.However, she felt unsure about that promise. She was not sure whether Ashton had gotten over Alora. If he had not, then it did not matter what she did. She would not win that losing battle.At the thought that something too precious to her could leave her life at any moment, Yanne felt a lump in her throat that refused to go away no matter how much she swallowed.Everyone was selfish in relationships. No matter how generous a person was, they could not give away the person they loved to others. Saying things they did not mean would only make one feel worse.Just then, the door of her room opened.Only two people could enter her room without knocking; one was her mother, and the other was Ashton. Not even her father, Anthony, was given the privilege to do so.Yanne
"How dare you!" Niall immediately stood up. Even though he was short and dark-skinned, he exuded an aura of leadership. The stare in his eyes made people shudder.However, Ashton was unfazed by said aura as he did not even look at Richmond.Ashton was not being rude, but those people's arrogant attitude was pissing him off. He always spoke and acted as he wanted, and manners were never prioritized when dealing with rude people."Alright, everyone calm down."Anthony had to be the mediator and quickly smooth things over."Everyone, calm down. It's our first meeting. Let's not fight each other.""Mister Levin, these are all famous people in the Acton Province. Let's play nice.""I'm talking to them calmly for your sake. Otherwise, I'd have slapped the rudeness off his face long ago," Ashton said in a neutral tone.Anthony did not know what to say next.He knew Ashton. The younger man had no fear in him as he possessed excellent martial arts skills at such a young age. It was nor
"Mister Levin, are you saying the medicine is for Tammy?" Anthony's eyes opened wide as if he could not believe what was happening.The medicinal herb was a treasure. Anthony and the men who worked for him exchanged their lives for him. However, Ashton told him that the medicine would be used to save his wife. Anthony was ashamed for not being as generous as someone much younger than him."Aunt Theresa and Yanne saved my life. If they had not fished me out of Swan Lake back then, my life might have already ended. How could I forget her kindness?"I have been collecting medicines to treat Aunt Theresa's chronic illnesses over the years. Originally, they were not good enough, but the quality of the five-color reishi mushroom is beyond imagination. In addition, I have a new treatment plan, and it is almost ready to be implemented.""Mister Levin, this is a great kindness. I don't know how to repay you." Anthony rubbed his hands, feeling ashamed."There's no need for you to repay me a
"Mister Scott, we have a suitable, reasonable, and scientific treatment plan for your wife. We estimate that she can live for about another eight months," Marcus said proudly."What did you say?" Anthony was taken aback and then became angry. "Eight months? You can't cure my wife?"Marcus smiled and said, "Mister Scott, don't joke. This is a congenital disease, which means your wife is destined to live to this age, and no one can change it."As soon as he finished speaking, Anthony grabbed at his collar."Fuck you! Mister Levin said that my wife will be cured in an hour.""Mister Scott, this kind of joke is not funny at all. I am this hospital's best internal medicine specialist, and what I say has absolute authority." Marcus quickly explained.At that moment, the various instruments in the ward initially used to monitor Tammy's physical condition suddenly emitted harsh and sharp beeping sounds.Beep beep beepTammy's heart rate plummeted, and every organ in her body issued abn
"Fuck you, bastard!" Anthony slapped Marcus."You almost killed my wife, yet you still dare to throw accusations around? Just you wait. When I'm done dealing with my wife, I will come for you."Anthony almost died of anger.The bastard harmed his wife, and he still wanted to cause further confusion and prevent Ashton from saving his wife. Did he have a grudge against Tammy to want her dead?When Ashton came to the hospital bed, he did not dare to hesitate for another second. He started massaging her. Starting from the pressure point in the middle of Tammy's forehead, he moved down to her chin. At the same time, his other hand quickly twisted, accumulated more core essence, and reapplied the medicinal patches.From top to bottom, the light energy flowed.From bottom to top, the dark energy flowed.Two distinct energies flowed up and down her meridians and blended near Tammy's lower abdomen's elixir core.When the two energies converged, the detection instruments that had issued
The indifference on her face was chilling.Inside the car, the driver could not help shivering. He wondered if the woman was made of ice.The car drove north to the Acton Chamber of Commerce's pharmaceutical group headquarters in Edren County.It was a 30-story building with the words Acton Chamber of Commerce on the signboard.The pharmaceutical group was just one of the Acton Chamber of Commerce branches. Due to the rise of the Internet in recent years and the popularity of health and beauty products, a substantial online sales channel was born.The combination of network and physical sales was the core of Acton Pharmaceuticals' future development.When they reached the 27th floor, Aerin pushed the hall door open. The inside was packed.In addition to senior management, the group had many technicians, scientific researchers, and pharmacists of various drug categories. Most were graduates of top schools and top chemistry students who returned from abroad."Miss Blau, the resea
Aerin nearly lost her cool.Solomon stroked his chin with great interest.As for the others, they were all waiting for a good show to happen."Ash, let's calm down. After all, pharmaceuticals are not our strong suit..."Before Anthony finished speaking, he was interrupted."Who said that pharmacy is not my strong suit?"Ashton turned his head and glanced at Aerin. "It seems Miss Blau is not sincere about this deal, so let's stop working together."Just as Ashton wanted to leave, some bodyguards stopped him."Miss Blau, you don't think you can keep me here by force, do you?" Ashton flicked his wrist."Of course not. You're confident enough to come here, so you must be confident you can leave at your will."However, you should not underestimate me as well. I can talk to you calmly, and I can also hold you down, Ashton. What do you think, Mister Levin?" Aerin played with the ice-blue ring on her finger. The smile on her face was sweet and harmless."Why don't you try it?" Ashto
