Roxy tried to contain her feelings. Ashton addressed her without fear. She looked confused.Kendra and Xavier also looked confused."Mister Levin, are you mistaken? Roxy has been working here for more than 20 years. Also, she… she…" Xavier sighed like it was difficult to talk about that.Roxy smiled faintly and said, "Mister Levin, I don't find it strange that you would suspect me. After all, you seem to prefer my younger and beautiful sister, Roxanne."But everything requires evidence. Such a grave crime would lead to an execution. Can you simply convict an innocent person based on your words alone?""Of course not."There was something special in his smile. Roxy felt afraid for no reason."First of all, as I mentioned earlier, Mister Lockwood can't die from the worm alone. Three triggers are needed for an undetected death. Each of these three triggers is harmless on its own, perhaps something ordinary. However, when these three ingredients are combined, they create a unique fr
Ashton revealed his sleeve. It was wet."Because I didn't drink it."Healing others may be easy, but healing oneself is challenging. It would be troublesome if I were poisoned. While working with the acupuncture needles, I secretly poured the tea onto my sleeve."Roxy sat on the floor."Roxy, tell me, why did you do it?"Xavier was tired.Kendra felt awful, but she could not comfort her grandfather.He was not that heartbroken when Wilfred died. Their relationship was over when Wilfred threatened him. It was not the same when Roxy betrayed him. He had real feelings for Roxy, and he treated her like his own daughter."Why?"Roxy stopped pretending. She was on the floor, and her hair was a mess."How dare you ask me why? When have you ever considered us?"My son is excellent, so how could you not see him as the heir? How is my son worse than this bitch?" yelled Roxy.Everyone was stunned.'Son?'"What are you talking about, Roxy?" Xavier stared at her with a horrified look.
"Mister Levin, help me. I'm begging you!"Yenn's shoulders were exposed. She reached out to touch Ashton."Stop it, Yenn! Mister Levin is mine! Don't steal my man!"Kendra lost her composure. Her hair was down, and her black dress was elsewhere."You're the one who needs to stop, Kendra. How can I listen to you now?"Yenn still had a trace of sanity, but her black office outfit was nowhere to be seen."Wait, hold on, I think I may have a detox solution."His mind was working rapidly.Ashton thought the poison was familiar when the evil woman unleashed it. It felt like he had seen it before. He recalled when he was a child, and some guy used Androstenone on his cousin. It was a whole mess back then. The Levin family was also enraged.Not a lot of people could handle the wrath of the Levin family. That guy vanished into the bottom of the sea, along with those who helped him.The Levin family hired an old expert to save his cousin. Ashton recalled the housemaids carrying ice cub
Jaden did not look good when he heard thatThat was his precious liquor. 'What does he mean by fake? Is he trying to anger me?'"Which bastard said that? I'll tear him apart."Ashton waved it off and said, "Don't worry about it. Get something that looks nice with great value. I can't look too stingy, right?"Jaden flinched and said, "Can you stop doing that, Mister Ashton? I helped you when you got married, when you went to house visits, and when you went to important events. My collection is almost gone. Have some mercy on me, Mister Ashton.""Yeah, right. All those people who wanted intel from you gave you a lot of precious gifts. Your vault is probably stacked with treasure." Ashton looked displeased.Jaden sighed and headed toward his vault.He thought, 'Mister Ashton divorced Alora, so I should send someone to retrieve my antiques. I didn't want to give them away in the first place. They are not worthy of such gifts.'Jaden retrieved a box that looked ancient."This is an
The tension was high in the hall. A luxury car was parked in front of the mansion.Two ladies and a guy exited the car.Alora removed her oversized sunglasses. She was still in shock. She mumbled, "This is unbelievable. I can't believe Yanne's father is the famous Anthony Scott. I thought his father was an irresponsible scumbag who abandoned his wife and daughter.""Alora, you know Anthony Scott's daughter?" Tyson asked, surprised.Alora nodded. She had mixed feelings about it. "Yeah, I know her through Ashton. He mentioned it before we were married. He stayed in South Edren because Aunt Theresa and Yanne Scott saved his life, so he wants to repay the favor.""That loser wants to repay a favor?" Tyson burst out laughing. He looked down on Ashton."How shameless of him. Am I right? Ashton Levin supported them with money from the company," Chloe said."Only a loser like him would use your money to repay favors, Alora. Now that Anthony Scott is back, they have become rich. Ashton L
A bunch of fierce-looking men charged toward Ashton. Alora frowned and hesitated. She wondered if she should interfere and explain.Tyson noticed that and said, "Alora, why do you feel bad for him? A disgusting guy like him should disappear as soon as possible.Alora sighed and turned to leave."You all have a bright future because you are studying at South Edren University. Here's some advice, don't become his lackeys and tread a path to your own demise. You will suffer a miserable fate if you attack me," he said calmly. He picked up a cup of tea to drink.Everyone burst out laughing.A few brave men tried to grab his hair from behind. They wanted to pin him to the ground.Ashton was well aware of it. He smashed the teacup and stabbed a broken piece into the face of a young man. His face looked gory.Ashton grabbed the other guy by the arm and punched his fist upward. His arm instantly snapped.He took out two men speedily. He never once looked at them. The others went quiet w
"Ash, I told you it's my turn to protect you."Yanne disregarded everything and rushed out from behind Ashton. She positioned herself firmly in front of him."Yanne!"Anthony screamed."Mister Zeke, stop!"Leonard Zeke was inches away from clawing someone in the face. He abruptly stopped.His fingernails were capable of piercing through steel plates. He would have caused unimaginable consequences if he struck someone in the face.Anthony let out a sigh of relief because his daughter was unharmed. Then, he glared at Ashton."That's enough. Sorry, everyone. I have to cancel this event. I will visit you personally to apologize for this."The host asked the guests to leave. They smiled and left.Alora turned to look at Ashton before she left."Here's a piece of advice for you, if you still see Yanne as your sister, your fate will be grim. Yanne's status has changed since Mister Scott's return. You two are of two different worlds now. She will realize that eventually and distance
The air was still.Leonard was surprised, then laughed and shook his head. He thought it was a joke.He did not believe it. He was an undefeated combat expert in Saffron for decades. 'How can this young man kill me?'The youngsters are reckless with their words. I get it. I'm a fighter, after all. What kind of fighter isn't reckless?'"Young man, it's very difficult for someone your age to understand combat, but many people are better than you. You have a long way to go."Anthony was surprised to hear that. "Mister Zeke, are you sure he knows combat?""More like martial arts. Combat is a vague term. You can train to have the form, but you can't train to have the power. He has power. Perhaps he's a young expert in our line of work."Am I right?" Leonard looked at him again.Ashton smiled but did not reply.'Power? Young expert? Jaden would laugh his heart out.'Ashton did not care to explain himself. It was his fundamental strategy of keeping a low profile."I don't believe i
