It was too similar.For a moment, Ashton thought he saw Yanne.How could two people look so similar?However, upon a closer look, they did not look that similar.She was thinner than Yanne, a little taller, and her face was cold and distant. Yanne was different. Yanne looked more innocent and naïve, cheerful and bubbly.That girl was more aloof, while Yanne was like the girl next door.Another man and woman followed that girl. The woman was less attractive. She might be the prettiest girl in class, but she would not stand out in the department or school.Ashton saw the man exit a luxurious car wearing brand-name clothes.If a kid could drive that car, their parents would be wealthy.It made sense. Pretty girls would be surrounded by men who wanted to protect them, especially in the middle of the night."I did not expect you to befriend people who would come out to drink with you in the middle of the night, and they look like good students, too. They look like they don't often
"Oh!"Excited shouts brought the scene back to a climax.Many drunkards shouted, "Pole dance, pole dance, pole dance!""Sorry, I can't. I can only sing and dance, and maybe some traditional dances." Even though Beyra was a nice girl, she was still timid in front of such a rowdy crowd. The panic and confusion in her eyes were apparent.Her expression provoked the men. A man threw a 2,000-dollar stack under Beyra's skirt."Is it money you want? I have money. Dance for me, and I will pay more when I'm happy. I'll pay 4 to 5 thousand for a dance."Beyra declined the money despite her family's poverty. She would have made money that way long ago if she wanted to."Damn you! Are you looking for trouble? Beyra said she only wanted to sing. Can't you understand that?" Finnigan slammed the table and cursed."So, you have some extra cash lying around. Should Beyra please you for that? Who do you think you are?"Ashton leisurely smiled by the window. Finnigan's possessiveness when he was
There was no way to protect the woman he loved. That was the greatest humiliation he had suffered.Beyra did not want Finnegan to protect her all the time because she could not give him any substantial rewards. She did not like Finnigan. He was frivolous, impulsive, and controlling, but he always followed her around. No matter what she did, he always had to interfere to help her solve the problem. Every time he did that, Beyra felt very guilty and did not know how to repay him.It was not like she could use her love to repay him, right?Love was not like that. Love was not about that. That was merely to repay debts. It had no meaning.She would rather suffer a loss than let Finnigan continue like that.It was not good for both of them.So, Beyra stood there, quietly waiting for what was about to happen.She did not mind the drink. If she could get two million dollars for it, she would give the money to Finnigan to repay him for what he had done for her during this time.Wilson
Ashton laughed inside. How did that man become a company chairman when he could not control himself around women?However, a mere ten million was indeed nothing to the other party.Soon, the bar staff swiped 10 million off Wilson's card. Then, they exchanged a card with 10 million dollars in it and gave it to Beyra.Beyra was confused, and she could not believe what was happening in front of her."Miss, the ten million dollars is yours. It's time to come and drink with Wilson.""I will pay 20 million for you to continue to drink tea here." Ashton waved his bank card."Boy, you're just looking for trouble, right?" The fat man was furious.Ashton smiled faintly and said, "I thought we were showing off our money. I have nothing but money. I thought Wilson had a net worth of 10 billion dollars. Shouldn't you be able to fight against someone like me?"The fat man was about to jump on Ashton, but Wilson stopped him."You're just waving a debit card and saying you have the money. Who
Wilson felt confident because he had a gun.His men also seemed oddly confident. They were unafraid to kill or provoke with Wilson's support. They just had to obey orders without considering the consequences."I'm sorry. I apologize, Wilson. I will return all the money to you, and then I will drink with you. Please let go of my friends, okay?" Beyra could not hold it anymore. She stood up from her seat.She was not afraid of suffering, but she could not let her friends be implicated because of her. That would turn into guilt and torture her in the future."Pay back the money? Accompany me to drink? I might take that offer just now, but now I've shown my guns, and this is what you're telling me? It's too late!"Wilson looked at her as if looking at prey. "Money and women, I want it all. You and this kid, I will have both!"He looked at Ashton again. "You have such a large sum of cash on you. Even though I don't know who you are, you're done if you are not from the four major famil
Finnigan's knees went soft, and he fell to the ground.Beyra pursed her lips. "Ashton, take them away too. After all, they came with me."Ashton shrugged. "It doesn't matter.""Thank you, thank you, thank you."After leaving the bar, Beyra gave Ashton his bank card. She also did not want Wilson's money. Ashton convinced her to accept it so she could share the money with Felisa and possibly start a business.Their university graduation was imminent. With that money, they could live comfortably.Ashton leaned on the back seat, conflicted after all that.He helped Beyra mostly because he saw Yanne in her. They were too similar.Even her background and circumstances unexpectedly coincided with Yanne's.If it were not for Anthony's return, Yanne would be a girl from a poor family, facing the cruel world alone.Most girls lived similarly; the world was cruel.Felisa and Beyra slept together that night at her house.The two girls showered and lay on the bed."Felisa, what's your
His heart rippled from the sudden coldness.However, he still chose to believe in Alora.If he loved her, he would believe in her. That was what Ashton had always done.However, Ashton also planted a standard for himself in his heart. That was the last time he allowed himself to love Alora. If the two were separated for another reason, he would never try to make her stay. He would remove her from his life.He could allow one mistake from the person he loved. That was his kindness, but there would never be a second chance. That was his principle.When he returned to the Caring Health Corp, it was already night.Ashton was surprised to find a man with Jacie.Dominic.His second uncle.Why was he there? Ashton's face sank, and coldness appeared in his eyes.Darek was bedridden and probably had not woken up yet. If someone deliberately tried anything, Darek might die. Dominic was a danger to Darek."My dear nephew, don't look gloomy. I did not come here with bad intentions. I'm
"Jade bones." Darek said without hesitation."Your mother said that her physique was not suitable for that manual. Even if she tried her best, she can only cultivate to the level of jade bones. According to the five stages, she can only reach the second rank."Ice muscle, jade bone, silver blood, golden pupil, the last stage was the Body of Law.The skin of ice muscles was unparalleled in strength, making him invulnerable towards any physical attacks.The jade bones were the ultimate refinement of all human bones in the body, strengthening the limits of the human body, and all the five senses and athletic abilities exceed the normal limit for any humans.The silver blood, which refined all blood and cells, making one immune to disease and poison, almost doubling the life span of a person. The humans in ancient times must had cultivated to the silver blood stage and lived for two hundred years. Golden pupil, this was the most critical realm, and it was also the realm that transce
