"Ah! You bitch! How dare you ambush me?"Zac's eyes burned from the pepper spray, instantly preventing him from attacking her. He clutched his face, howling in pain.Aspen didn't hesitate—she turned and bolted for the door. Outside was a long hallway—she would be safe if she could just make it there.But reality proved crueler than hope. Zac quickly recovered and chased after her, viciously yanking her back by the hair."You shameless whore! You really think I'll let you get away with this? If I don't give you a proper lesson today, you'll never understand who you are dealing with! Hand over what I want, or you'll regret it!"Words alone couldn't satisfy Zac's rage. He slapped Aspen twice, hard enough to make her vision swim.Gritting her teeth through the pain, Aspen glared. "It seems like you're eager for more prison time.""You really think you're walking out of here alive?" Zac suddenly laughed.At first, Aspen thought this was just Colin's way of teaching her a lesson. But

Chester's mouth twitched violently when he heard Aspen calling him "Mr. Shaffer". This woman still had the presence of mind to scheme even when she was on the verge of dying? She truly was remarkable.Chester swept her up before glancing coldly at Zac on the ground. He calmly said, "Take him away.""Yes, sir!" Kian immediately stepped forward, grabbing Zac by the collar and dragging him to the car.Only then did Zac realize who he had provoked. His face paled as he thrashed wildly. "N-No! Don't touch me! My brother-in-law is Colin Fuller!""That's exactly why you're dead!" Kian snarled, punching Zac hard the moment Colin's name was mentioned.Everyone under Chester's command knew Colin was their greatest enemy. He was the man who had left their leader's family in ruins!…When Aspen regained consciousness in the hospital room, pain radiated through every inch of her body. Her brows furrowed tightly as her hands instinctively flew to her throat, confirming she was still alive.

Though he was physically present with Gwyneth, Colin's thoughts were scattered. Last night, he had intended to meet Aspen for a serious discussion, but Gwyneth's sudden "episode" forced him to stay by her side. That was how he had wasted the entire night.He wondered how long Aspen had waited. In the past, he had routinely stood people up without a second thought. Yet this time, an unfamiliar guilt gnawed at him."Colin, can you skip work today? I'm terrified of being home alone..." Gwyneth tugged his sleeve with practiced vulnerability.She instantly sensed he was distracted. He was thinking about Aspen, without a doubt! The realization twisted something dark inside her. After she had spent years meticulously securing his devotion, could some uprooted wife really steal him away in mere days? Gwyneth would never allow such a thing to happen.Colin pried her fingers loose and straightened his suit. He said to her helplessly, "The project for our company's transition is at a critic

Just hearing Zac's name made Aspen's blood boil. Grinding her molars, she hissed furiously, "That goddamn bastard—just thinking about him makes me furious! He's the reason I'm stuck here in agony. Chet, you better make him pay, you hear me?""Just tell me what you want done," Chester said, oddly charmed by her seething rage.Aspen was tempted to demand the bastard's head on a platter, but after a moment's thought, she growled, "Beat him to a pulp. I want him barely recognizable. Then, dump him at the gates of Oceanus Villa.""Just a beating?" Chester raised an eyebrow, amused. "Didn't take you for the merciful type."Aspen heard the sarcasm dripping from his words. She scoffed and muttered, "You seem like a tough guy, so why are you talking like a nagging old lady? You asked what I wanted—now you're getting all sarcastic?""It's quite a big favor. How do you plan to repay me?" Chester decided to drop his attitude. Instead, he stared at her calculatingly, already planning to ask f

Colin scoffed, brandishing his status like a weapon. Regardless of the circumstances, he undoubtedly had a greater right to rage than the man before him.Watching his theatrics, Aren suddenly realized any further words would be wasted. He smirked and said, "It's great that you finally know who you are. Just don't cling to what you don't appreciate.""Hey! Aren, you're a homewrecker. Do you think your family will tolerate your actions if they find out that you're involved with another man's wife?" Colin's face darkened, the threat dripping from every word."The CEO of Fuller Group, reduced to tattling to Mommy and Daddy? How pathetic," Aren retorted. Then, he glanced at Aspen and left. Aspen sat silently, forcing steady breaths through the pain. When she finally looked up, she met Colin's furious gaze.He hissed, "How many times must I say it? You're my wife—Mrs. Fuller. Stop embarrassing me with your shameless behavior! What exactly is going on between you and Aren?" His molars
