Chapter 899
“You sure are brave. Threatening my husband and pointing a gun at me?” The corner of Ashlyn’s lips
curled upward into a smirk as her gaze remained icy.
Ashlyn’s chilling voice echoed in his ear. All of a sudden, a sharp pain shot from his neck, causing him
to wail in agony.
As he twisted in pain, he caught sight of Ashlyn’s pretty face just inches away from his. Her clear eyes
pierced into his soul, exposing every bit of his fear.
W-What a scary woman. Not just her aura, but her fighting skills as well!
In just a few seconds, before the scarred man could even register what was going on, he found himself
being held captive by Ashlyn.
This woman… is terrifying!
“I-I’m just working for Franklin! I’m just a henchman, ackey! Please let me go…”

The scarred man could not bear the pain coursing through his entire body. He squirmed and shrieked
for help every few seconds.
Whenever he lifted his eyes, he met Ashlyn’s stone-cold gaze. Her beautiful ck eyes were as dark
as the depths of hell, which made him shudder.
“Help! Help me!” he screamed in terror.
When the other men saw what was going on, they quickly charged toward Ashlyn in an attempt to
surround her.
All traces of tenderness on Lucas’ devilishly handsome face vanished as his gaze turned eerily hostile.
“It’s my wife’s right to love and protect me. How dare you lot try to cause her trouble?”
As he spoke, his expression grew darker every second.
Ashlyn had never failed to surprise him.
Even though they were some distance apart, he could feel her wrath directed toward Franklin. Her
wrath was so great that it was almost tangible. There was no doubt that she was burning with rage at
Franklin’s shameless attempts to constantly humiliate and bully Lucas.
Lucas’ gaze softened as he turned to look at Ashlyn. A sense of warmth flowed in his veins when he
saw Ashlyn defending him.
Just as he was dealing with the other men, a loud crack reverberated in the silence, catching
everyone’s attention. Ashlyn had broken the scarred man’s neck!
Terror filled the men’s eyes as they exchanged nces.
T-This is—
Bang!
The sound of a gunshot jolted everyone back to their senses. They turned to look at Ashlyn, taken
aback by how calm she was.
Her face disyed zero hints of emotions.
It was as though she was not the one who pulled the trigger.
Following the gunshot, the man who was fighting with Lucas dropped heavily onto the ground,
sshing mud everywhere.
In the dark, Lucas suddenly sprang forward and grabbed one of the men by the neck. ring at him in
displeasure, he tightened his grip around the man’s neck and twisted it.
With that, he detached the man’s head from his trunk, leaving only one man standing.
Thest man stared at the couple and trembled in fear as they approached him.
“Go back to whatever hole youe from and convey this message to Franklin: Fair warning. I, Lucas
Nn, will always pay back whatever that’s due, be it grace or revenge. Since you dare to touch my
woman, don’t me me when I turn against the Nn family despite all those years of upbringing!”
The man paled in horror as he felt his knees turn to jelly. H-How terrifying! Absolutely horrifying! Has
Lucas always been pretending to be weak in front of Franklin? What gave Franklin the false impression
that Lucas was weak, so much so that he dared to provoke Lucas? How could he treat Lucas so
horribly in the past, causing Lucas to be who he is today? Why…
Thoughts were racing inside the man’s head. Doesn’t Lucas have mania? Isn’t he being locked up by
Franklin? Why does it seem that he has be a different person all of a sudden? He’s even
rebelling!
“The only way to be victorious in every battle is to catch your enemy off guard.” Ashlyn turned to look at
Lucas and lifted the corners of her lips.
Bang!
Blood gushed through the hole between the man’s eyebrows as he copse into his own pool of blood.
Lucas was stunned by what had just happened. “Honey, you’re really—” He stopped himself as the
corners of his lips curved upward into a slight smile. “I’ve been foolish.”
For a moment, he was getting more and more impressed by Ashlyn.
Damn! She’s hot.
Taking in the smile on Lucas’ handsome face, Ashlyn disassembled the gun in her hand without
hesitation and tossed the parts into the rushing waters over the cliff.
“Lucas, your parents are not normal people. There’s no need for you to show them mercy.” Ashlyn
raised an eyebrow.
“You’re right, Honey. Lesson learned.” Lucas walked over to her. A touch of warmth filled his heart as
he remembered how Ashlyn had protected him a moment ago.
