Chapter 126

Author: Gentlemanly Flow
Ashton walked into the villa, taking in the familiar scene. It had only been a few days, yet everything had changed.

"Ashton, I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Renee forced her weak body to sit up halfway, a sweet smile on her face.

Ashton checked her. When he was sure she was mostly fine, he looked at the red streak on her chest, saying guiltily, "Dummy. Does it still hurt?"

"Not at all." Renee waved a fist at him. "Am I awesome or what?"

He said tenderly, 'You're the coolest."

"Stop with the crocodile tears and fake sympathy! Renee would never even have gotten hurt if not for you!"

Tanya pointed at Ashton and snapped, "I swear I would never have let you off if Renee hadn't turned out fine. People like you deserve to die so that you don't drag our family down again!"

Ashton's gaze cooled.

"Mom, don't talk about Ashton like that," Renee said anxiously.

"Fine, fine. Saying another word to someone like him is an insult to my status, anyway. You've seen how Renee is doing; you

    Elise's exclamation felt utterly out of place. There was something deeply unsettling about her tone, yet there was no mistaking it—the formidable head of Blossom Hall had truly uttered these words.Those present exchanged looks of bewilderment. They were dying to know who this Ashton really was. They thought he had to be someone of truly staggering importance to earn that kind of glowing praise from Elise."Isn't she being too excessive? It's so embarrassing!" Ashton grimaced from his vantage point upstairs. He never expected Elise to be so ostentatious, so much so that he just wanted to sink into the ground and escape the embarrassment.Whitney giggled coquettishly as she leaned against Ashton. "Elise is just venting some frustration on your behalf, darling."Ashton wore an expression of utter helplessness, thinking to himself that women's minds were unfathomable."I know him! Ashton is my brother-in-law, and he has always treated me very well! You know my brother-in-law, right,

    In that instant, a collective shiver ran through the women of the Blossom Hall. They averted their eyes, casting their gazes downward as her crushing pressure filled the room, leaving them trembling in a state of sheer panic."Oh?" Elise's eyes widened in genuine shock, as she hadn't anticipated such raw power from Roxy. It was no wonder Ashton had fallen for her so hard back then—she was clearly cut from a different cloth.Elise's competitiveness flared at that thought. She advanced toward Roxy and said deliberately, "I'm actually going to do it then; after all, I'm quite curious to see how you'll make good on that threat, Ms. Sloan!"She then turned to her people and ordered, "Get Robert's hands and feet and make sure Ms. Sloan doesn't miss a single moment!"Roxy, with a frigid glint in her eyes, darted toward Robert, intending to take him away forcibly. She had already reached a certain level of strength after a period of cultivation; the Detachment Technique surged to life wh

    "Do you honestly think you have the authority to represent the entire Payne family, Mr. Payne?" Elise asked with a scoff."I'm the sole heir of the Paynes, so of course I have. It's merely a trifle matter, so I don't think it's necessary for you to fall out with the Paynes over this, Ms. Haywood. It would be far better for us to become friends—anything can be resolved at the table," Damian explained in a low, steady tone.He was thoroughly satisfied with himself, convinced that his poise and presence had made him the undeniable protagonist of the moment.It was then that the sound of the slap echoed through the hall like a gunshot. Elise had struck without warning, the sheer power of her slap visibly warping Damian's features and leaving five vivid fingerprints etched clearly into his cheek."How dare you hit me, Elise!" Damian's eyes were bloodshot, resembling those of a raging, bloodthirsty beast."You wouldn't want the story of you seducing your second uncle's wife—your own aun

    "You can rest assured since I'm here, Roxy!" Damian offered a poised smile, acting as if everything were entirely under his control."It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Haywood. I'm Damian Payne of the Payne family," Damian said as he extended his hand with a gentleman's grace. His movements were fluid and poised, projecting the effortless charm of a distinguished scion.He looked at Elise with a glint in his eyes, which carried a hint of greed. He thought about whether he could add this beauty to his collection. He intended for his circle of women to outshine Ashton's in both number and quality.To Damian's utter humiliation, Elise merely spared him a fleeting, disinterested look. She had absolutely no intention of shaking his hand, as if touching him would be beneath her. "So you're Mr. Payne. Is there anything you want from me?"Damian's expression flickered for a split second at Elise's blatant snub. He withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened and said with a smile, "I'd like

    Roxy picked up on the blatant hostility in Elise's expression and tone right away. She was completely at a loss. As far as she knew, she had never done anything to slight the renowned head of Blossom Hall.She reached out and shook Elise's hand briefly, wearing a polished, professional smile. "I apologize for whatever Robert had done to cross you, Ms. Haywood. I'd appreciate it if you could show me some leniency and let him go. I'll see to it that the Blossom Hall is compensated tenfold for the inconvenience!"She had plenty of matters to deal with and had no desire to make an enemy of Blossom Hall. She thought that if she could resolve this quietly and move on, it would be for the best."You want me to show you some leniency? You'll find that your name carries very little weight within these walls, Ms. Sloan!" Elise snarled.Her lingering smile vanished, replaced by a cold, distant expression.She then said indifferently, "You ought to know that order is built on rules, Ms. Sloan

    "You won't blame Elise and me, right, darling?" Whitney asked, gazing up at Ashton with eyes filled with affection. She put on such a pitiful, endearing expression that no one could find fault with her.Whitney and Elise were absolute vixens, capable of ensnaring any man's soul with a single look."It was only a matter of time before something went wrong, especially given Robert's overbearing nature. I had been covering for him more often than not in the past, so teaching him a lesson now is perfectly fine," Ashton said with a furrowed brow, having no intention of blaming Elise or Whitney.It was just that Whitney and Elise had ulterior motives—to provoke Roxy and retaliate on Ashton's behalf.Elise broke into a radiant smile when Robert brought up Roxy. She brushed back her hair and said with a chuckle, "You should go ahead and give Roxy a call then. "I'd like to see if she has what it takes to get you out of this mess and save you from losing your limbs! I'm quite curious about
