"He claims that I am a worthless piece of trash if I don't dare to hit you," Aislinn said, her gaze fixed on Radd.Radd felt a wave of dizziness. Where had he found that worthless counselor? It was not an opponent's strength that induced fear but the vulnerability of one's side—a sentiment quite fitting for Wyatt. In that situation, acknowledging any familial relations would be unthinkable. He would dare not admit the association even if his father had appeared."Preserving your arrogance even on death's door? If I were in your shoes, I would be apologizing by now. Maybe General Murphy would see fit to lighten your sentences, allowing you to live." General Murphy's arrival had only emboldened Walter.Slap! Slap!Two people received hefty slaps. Radd's slaps left them dizzy.Wyatt was stunned. He pointed at Aislinn and said, "General Murphy, why are you hitting me? These ungrateful people are the ones who provoked us. You should be hitting this bitch!""Fuck." Radd slapped him sev
"A friend?" Aislinn followed his gaze with curiosity."A former wife," Ashton said.Aislinn, astonished, glanced again. "Her? Seriously?""I thought maybe someone of extraordinary beauty had swept you away from me, but it seemed it was just a woman smothered in garish makeup." She harbored utter disdain for such a commonplace woman, particularly one so blinded by judgment and marked by irrationality.Aislinn was about to stand when Ashton grabbed her arm."Never mind. Let's enjoy our meal and not let this affect us," he said.Unhappy, Aislinn sat down.She had planned to confront and demean the other woman.To have an unmatched treasure and not value it. She even divorced him? Such audacity was thoughtless."Look at you. Are you even a warrior goddess now?"Aislinn curled her lip with an air of indifference.Regardless of her power and imposing presence, she was just a jealous little girl trying to right wrongs before that extraordinary man from years ago. That would never c
"Mister Xenakis, do you know who captured him?"With a smile, Jaxson said, "Of course, I know.""He is the chief pharmacist of Royal Sealift Group, and he developed the La Verdure Pill. You're aware of that, right, Alora?" Alora nodded. It was no longer a secret."All you know is that he is the chief pharmacist. However, you don't know why he became the chief pharmacist.""Why?" Alora was perplexed by that. "He's a thief!" Jaxson said, his eyes narrowed. "He pilfered our family's treasured pill formula and claimed it as his own, which has allowed him to reap substantial benefits and secure an opportunity to ascend within the Royal Sealift Group.""What?" Alora was utterly shocked."I didn't plan on revealing this to you since he is your ex-husband, and I assume there might be lingering affection," Jaxson said. "However, given his obstinance, exposing his true, malicious nature is necessary."Our family aimed to retrieve the pill formula from him, but he remained unremorseful and
"Alora!"Ashton reacted faster than Alora. He released almost all his energy when the truck hit them.Bang!Ashton's punch knocked the truck a few meters away, hitting the rails hard.Aislinn's jaw dropped.Could a human do that?Even though Ashton was powerful in the past, his capabilities were within that of a warrior. How did he become such a monster in just a few years?"Am I dead?"Alora woke up dazed in the middle of the road. She checked herself and found no injuries.Would a person's spirit look their best after they die? Honestly, she was worried that she would look horrible after the collision."Will you stop being stupid?"The angry voice beside Alora awakened her."Do you think you're invincible? Can't you see the truck? Don't you know you need to dodge?" Ashton was angry.Alora looked at him blankly. "Are you dead too? I failed to save you in the end."Forget it. We didn't manage to stay together when we were alive. I can be with you in the afterlife as compe
"Nonsense!"This is a load of bullshit!"I don't believe this! This is absurd! Top masters accompanied my daughter. No one can harm my daughter with them around. You're lying. Bring him down and kill him!"Dillon was anxious and corrupt.He could not believe it. Everything was absurd."Mister Junkins, even if you kill me, Miss Junkins will not return to life. The most important thing now is dealing with the upcoming crisis." The guard tried to reason with him."Crisis? Oh, what crisis can the Junkins family have?"The bodyguard said, "No, the murderer left a message written with blood on the hospital's wall, saying they want to kill the entire Junkins family. And now that half an hour has passed since Miss Junkins was killed. If the other party moves fast, I am afraid they will be here already."The hall went silent.After a while, Nazeem laughed wildly. "Good riddance. Junkins, this is your karma. You think you can do anything you want in Edren County? Do you have that abilit
"What? Aislinn? Aislinn Churchill from the Churchill family in the Imperial Capital?"Torben and Silas stood up."It must be her. There's no other Aislinn Churchill in the entire Xenagoras. But we have no grudges with her. Why is she leading her troops to surround us?""Ethan, did you do something to provoke her? I'm warning you, Aislinn is a lunatic; don't drag us with you if you want to die!" Silas said coldly.Ethan looked innocent. "Is this a joke? I would never do that even if I had balls of steel."Soon, the army besieged the entire city."Everyone who has nothing to do with the Junkins family, verify your identity and leave immediately!"The voice of the captain of the guard came from the helicopter."I repeat—everyone who has nothing to do with the Junkins family, verify your identity and leave immediately. Otherwise, you will be caught in the crossfire!"Torben and the others could not sit still anymore. They got up and rushed to the door. "Hello, I am from Martect Se
"Young master, what can you do even if we found her?""Miss Yanne has decided. Are you going to force her to change it, Young Master?" Jaden shook his head. Anthony told him what happened, which surprised him.Love troubled everyone, regardless of their strength.Ashton probably did not expect he would go through such heartbreak.Jaden thought he should choose both women if he could not decide. It was normal for the men in the Levin family to marry up to ten wives. After all, they all had the money and strength to do so.At the bar next door.Jaxson was drunk, his body reeked of alcohol."Mister Xenakis, any news yet?" Livia and Howard were anxious.Jaxson promised to handle everything when his father arrived in South Edren. He would get the formula and handle agent authorization. Nothing had happened yet. What was going on?The agents would start selling immediately. What would remain for them?"What's the hurry? It's not even time yet, so take it easy." Jaxson lowered his h
Alora did not hand him the formula immediately."Mister Xenakis, I need you to promise me again. From now on, you will not trouble Ashton and won't hold him accountable. I will return the formula only if you promise me."Jaxson smiled and said, "Do you still like that punk?""This has nothing to do with you, Mister Xenakis. I have done what I promised. You just have to fulfill yours."A trace of malice flashed imperceptibly in Jaxson's eyes."Alora, what's so good about Ashton? I can give you everything he has to offer, and I can give you more than what he can offer you. Why don't you stay with me, enjoy the glory and wealth, and be a carefree wife in a rich family?"Alora smiled. "Mister Xenakis, you are wrong. You can't give me anything he can give me."What he can't give me, I won't ask for it or get it from other men. For a long time, I have been blinded by my ambition and lost myself. Now, I just want to pursue what I want and work hard to make choices I won't regret."Wea
