Chapter 21

The arena with the fighting pit erupted in thunderous cheers. A host shouted excitedly into his microphone, "Tonight's show will be the most unprecedented fight in our arena's history! In the past, challengers have faced rhinos and wild boars…"But our challenger tonight will take on the king of the beasts—a lion! Let's give a round of applause for tonight's fighter, Wilson Quill!"The crowd went wild with deafening applause as the host's words fell. They cheered and roared with excitement."Wait, did I hear him correctly? Tonight's challenger is taking on a lion? Does he have a death wish?""This is a lion we're talking about. The king of beasts!""Man, I sure lucked out with tonight's fight! We're in for some excitement!"…"Wilson, have you lost your mind?" Though Ivory had guessed what Wilson was up to, she still couldn't stop her heart from leaping to her throat after hearing the host's announcement. "Do you think I'll forgive you if you do this? It won't happen! Everythi

"Damn, this Wilson guy is strong! How did he do it?""He snapped the lion's fangs off! Is he a monster?""I knew the most terrifying creatures on this planet were the terrifying upright apes—humans!"The crowd exploded once more. Amid deafening cheers, the beast fight drew to a close. Wilson was covered in wounds, but he'd won the fight. He'd used his willpower and resilience to prove his love for Ivory!In the end, he was carried out of the pit. Before leaving, he looked at Ivory tenderly, hoping to see a sliver of pity or affection in her eyes. He would be happy even if it were just the pity someone had for a stranger who'd been wounded.Unfortunately, there was nothing of the sort in her gaze. She only looked cold and indifferent.…Wilson was finally discharged from the hospital after a month. He'd soaked himself in ice water and had fought with a lion. Now, he only had one last thing to do before his atonement was complete—a whipping."I need to come clean to you about som

After enduring the whipping, Wilson had completed his atonement. However, some people had yet to be punished for their crimes. Now, it was time to deal with them.Wilson brought Ivory back to the Stone residence. John and Nancy were stunned to see her. "What are you doing back here, Ivory? You've married Mr. Fuller, so you're his now. Does he know that you're here?"Before Ivory could answer, Belinda abruptly fell to her knees and started weeping. Through her tears, she said, "Mom, Dad, it's all my fault. Blame me for this if you want, but don't get mad at Ivy! I was the one who accidentally told Will about Ivy marrying Mr. Fuller. That's why he went to the Fuller residence to elope with Ivy!"It was true that Wilson had crashed Ivory and Simon's wedding. The reporters present had snapped many explosive photos of the incident, but they had not been published. Wilson and Simon had worked together to buy out all the images.And so, the outside world had no idea that Wilson had tried

The slap made Belinda's head spin, and blood trickled down the corner of her mouth. Still, the impact of the slap was nothing compared to the shock that ripped through her.She widened her eyes in disbelief. "What did you say? He's Mr. Quill, 'the monk'? Why would he work for our family as a steward, then? Is he insane?"The lead bodyguard didn't want to waste his breath on her. He kicked her in the knee, forcing her to kneel before Wilson and Ivory."Ms. Ivory, how do you want to deal with these people?" Wilson bowed slightly as he turned to Ivory, humbling himself before her. He was nothing like the ruthless king of the business world that he was. He seemed more like her private steward who would obey her every order.Still, Ivory remained indifferent and showed no hint of being moved. She said, "I won't forgive you, even if you get rid of them. I hold grudges very well—I won't ever forgive those who hurt me!"Wilson smiled at that. "If that's the case, I'll have to teach them a
