"Take me back to Edren County." Ashton got into the helicopter.Burgundy returned to the pilot seat, and after a few seconds, the helicopter circled and disappeared into the night sky.Kendra stood still, stunned, and then stomped her feet angrily. "Why are there so many attractive women around him? Who is he? Why is she reporting to him?"When she turned her head and looked at Zion beside her, she found that her father was dumbfounded.Zion rubbed his eyes hard and smiled bitterly. "I was not dreaming just now, was I? What kind of helicopter was that? Why haven't I seen it before?"Kendra stared in disbelief. "No way! You are a general in the Central South, and you've never seen it before?"Zion knew almost everything about the military forces in the country. There were not many types of helicopters. Even though he could not name all of them, he would at least have seen them before.After all, there were airshows in the country every year, and Zion never missed them.Zion pond
Alora shook her head and got on the lifeboat.Those were not the things she should consider.She should only concentrate on how her company should develop next.After so many events and so many blows, her company was devastated. It was not easy to regain momentum and move forward. Without projects and contracts, the company would go downhill and soon face collapse and bankruptcy. At that time, everything she had worked so hard for would crumble into dust.She could not wait to strangle Tyson and Jose to death.One of them wanted her for money and the other for sex. Fortunately, Ashton saved her in time. Otherwise, she would not know how to live with herself if they got what they wanted from her.It was such a shame that her and Ashton's marriage ended.Even though she had begun to regret it, she understood there was no way to return to how things were. After so much that had happened, she had become more competitive. She had to have a successful career and then stand before Asht
"Young Master, you should rest before you act," Jaden said.He knew that Ashton had just shared his omnipotent blood with Yanne, which harmed him greatly. It was irreparable damage, but he also knew that Ashton would still insist on doing so. Ashton treated the people around him—relatives, friends, and loved ones—very well. He was always prepared to give up his life for them. That was one of the reasons he admired Ashton so much."Rama just sent me news. They have the surveillance video on the Elizabeth. The perpetrators involved were the Central Sea Tigers Alliance and the Xenakis family from Imperial Capital. I must give Yanne an explanation tonight." Ashton took a deep breath and stood up from the bed with incredible difficulty.He held a broken jade pendant in his hand.That was the jade pendant Ashton gave Yanne when the two first got together. He told her that it belonged to the Levin family's daughter-in-law.When Ashton repaired the jade pendant, he added special ingredien
By the time Hugo limped out of the hotel, Gwen had already disappeared."Damn it!" Hugo stood at the hotel entrance with a bowed posture; anxiety filled his body.That was the end for him. If Gwen were caught, she would definitely give him up. The only way for him to survive was if he skipped town immediately.However, all his things were in Alora's house. Would he cause suspicion if he were to pack up and run away?Forget it. He could not care less anymore.Not long after Hugo left the hotel, Gwen had been intercepted by several young men in obsidian uniforms. She was put on a black blindfold and taken into a car.On an open-air high-rise building's rooftop.Gwen was kneeling in front of a young man."Young Master, she's here."When they removed the blindfold, Gwen looked at the young man before her and could not help but freeze. "Mister Levin?"Ashton's face was pale, sitting on the air vent with a closed laptop. He had watched the surveillance video.What happened to Yann
Alora looked at him in horror. She could not even unbuckle her seat belt and open the car door.Would she die there? Death at the hands of scum?Alora wanted to cry. Why were all the men she met such scum?First Tyson, then Jose, and finally Hugo, too. Was that her karma?She saw someone appear in the car window behind Hugo's head in her trance.A one-eyed, silver-haired man with horrific facial scars.It was the man who was on the Elizabeth, and those people called him Rama.Why was he there?The man broke the glass as soon as the thought crossed her mind. He grabbed Hugo's hair and pulled his head."Who? Who is this?" Hugo lay on his back."You almost deceived me. You're one of the culprits who maimed Miss Yanne." Rama grinned, his smile cruel and cold."Forgive me, sir, please forgive me. I can do whatever you want me to do. Just don't kill me. I'm willing to do anything."When Rama yanked Hugo's neck with his iron hook, his trachea was pulled out. His entire body was dr
"Are you planning to sell me to human traffickers and run away by yourself?" Yanne still had lingering resentment in her eyes.Ashton hurriedly said, "I promise never to leave. I will be wherever you are.""I don't believe you, but the hospital is so stuffy that I don't want to be here anymore. I want to go out and take a look around. I have never left Edren County." Yanne lifted the quilt and got out of bed.After two days of slowly adapting, her legs had recovered."What kind of medicine did you give me? All my teeth have grown out, and the scars on my face have also faded. Even my legs don't hurt anymore," Yanne said with a curious expression."It's a secret." Ashton winked. "If you want to know, I can explain everything to you patiently.""Forget it. I don't understand these things even after you explain them." Yanne glanced at him and then quickly looked away.She felt that Ashton carried too many secrets. The more they were together and she learned about him, the more she
Ashton glanced at the two and shook his head. "Break their limbs, pull out all their teeth, and throw them into the ocean. It's up to fate whether they live or die."It was the most benevolent decision he had ever made—letting someone have a taste of their own medicine.When he exited the secret room, he saw Yanne squatting at the door, crying."Since my dad came back, everything has changed. My life and the people around me have changed, and you have also changed. Before this, we had no money, but everyone was nice and simple. And now I feel that everyone is never sincere. I like you better when you are ordinary. The new you feel so unattainable.""How can that be? No matter who I am, I am still Ashton. The same man you and Aunt Theresa picked up from Swan Lake, the same man with no relatives or family, and the same man who is now in love with you and swears to protect you forever.""Really?" Yanne looked at Ashton."Pinky promise." Ashton stretched out his pinky."Men like to
Since negotiating with Mister Greene, Ashton had avoided Divine Dining. However, the profits from that upscale restaurant would arrive in his bank account daily."Ash, you look a bit strange. Is everything alright?" Yanne asked, concerned.Ashton shook his head and said, "Everything's fine. This restaurant has good food. Let's go in.""Oh? You're familiar with this restaurant? Have you dined here before?" William turned to look at Ashton, a smirk on his face."Ashton, I don't mean to criticize you, but your car doesn't exactly scream affluence. Men should be practical. Trying to act wealthy is a game you can't win," William said.Ashton simply smiled and remained silent.Cecelia and Jenna had already eagerly entered Divine Dining's grand foyer. Their eyes sparkled with excitement and immense curiosity for the opulent surroundings."Is this real?" Jenna gushed, having ventured out of her small town for perhaps the first time."Do you see the luxury cars parked out front? Trust m
