Chapter 44
“P-Paige…” Ashton stuttered with an ashen face, his legs shaking as though they had been
electrocuted.Just how dumb and blind was he to audaciously hit on Miss Tanner?!“I’m sorry, Miss
Tanner!” Ashton dropped to the ground with a thud and begged Paige for mercy.Before the crowd had
time to react, Paige swung her whip while chiding, “Sorry? It’s toote for that!”With a crisp pow, the
Serpent Whip pped viciously on Ashton’s back, and the cloth instantly ripped apart, revealing a
crimson whip mark.Ashton grimaced in pain, not daring to make a sound as he gnashed his
teeth.Everyone was bbergasted by the turn of events, for none of them had thought this innocent-
looking young woman could be so ruthless.However, what was even more shocking was that the
Reaper dared not even make a sound when he was being whipped.With that, everyone started to look
at each other, wondering who in the world this hot young woman was.Peter and Caleb, on the other
hand, were even more dumbfounded.In their minds, Ashton was someone who could get anybody to
do whatever he wanted.But now, he was cowering in front of a woman like a dog!“Mr. Birch! What are
you doing?!” Caleb’s eyes widened with incredulity. “She’s just a girl. Can’t you handle her?!”“Shut up!”
hissed Ashton, shaken to his core when he heard Caleb’s words. “If you don’t want to die, just keep
quiet!”“You should shut up too if you don’t want to die!” Paige ordered coldly as she looked down at
him.“Yes, yes, yes. Whatever you say, Miss Tanner.” Ashton didn’t even dare to look up.His influence
was nothing in the face of the Tanner Family, so he didn’t dare to continue acting rampantly.It was only
then Kingsley sauntered to Paige and waved. “Hey, we meet again.”The image of his naked body
popped into Paige’s head when she looked at Kingsley, and her face flushed instantly. “You stinkin’
mug! As if I’m pleased to meet you!”Ashton raised his head gingerly to find Paige behaving a little
bashfully, leading his jaw to drop.Is this really Miss Tanner, the one who has her enemies cowering in
fear?!Kingsley chuckled awkwardly. “I didn’t mean it that day. Your bed was so nice that I forgot to put
my clothes on before—” identally falling asleep, he wanted to say.“That’s enough!” Paige cut him off
before he could finish his words. “I don’t want to hear it!”However, for those who didn’t know what
actually went down, Kingsley’s words sounded rather suggestive.He didn’t put his clothes on before…Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Ashton finally realized why this b*stard dared to be so arrogant—he was Miss Tanner’s boy toy!“How
do you n on dealing with these guys?” Paige asked coldly as she put her whip back on her
waist.With that, Kingsley beckoned to Caleb and Peter. “You two,e here.”Caleb’s face changed
multifold, and his legs took him nowhere as he stayed rooted to the ground.On the other hand, Peter’s
face was bloodless, and he held his chest in pain while saying, “I-I’ll apologize. I’ll apologize, how about
that? I really can’t move. It hurts too much…”How dare he continue acting tough when Ashton had
yielded?!However, Kingsley had booted him so ruthlessly that his chest felt unbearably painful when he
breathed even a little heavier, let alone move an inch.Kingsley smirked in response, then looked over at
Caleb. “You’re unscathed; howe you’re not moving? Are you scared of me?”“I…” At that, Caleb
went up to Kingsley resolutely. “What do you want?”“Young Master Caleb,” Kingsley said inly. “I
won’t take your life now when I’ve given you and your family a month.”Then, he pointed at Ashton. “You
two—break each other’s legs, and we’ll call it a day.” “What?!” Ashton looked up angrily. “Ever heard
about sparing when you can, kid? Don’t burn bridges!”“Don’t worry. I will still find a way even when all
hope is lost.”With that, he chucked the Northern Draken Tag at Ashton’s face while saying
monotonously, “My patience is limited. What’s it going to be, then?”As Ashton took a dreaded nce at
the Northern Draken Tag, a hint of malice shed across his eyes. “Alright, I’ll do it!” he said.Following
that, he slowly got up and mercilessly booted Caleb on the calf, and the sound of a bone snapping in
half could be heard immediately.“Ah!” Caleb howled in pain. Beads of sweat instantly gathered on his
forehead, and he fell to the ground with a thud.Kingsley sneered in response. “Looks like Young Master
Caleb won’t be able to retaliate.”“Are you happy now?” Ashton’s hands were balled into fists.“What
about yourself?” Kingsly asked emotionlessly. “Are you going to do it yourself, or do you want me to
help you?”Ashton took a gander at the paralyzed Peter before saying through gnashed teeth, “I’ll do it
myself!”With that, he grabbed arge rock from the ground and smashed it against his left arm.Bam!
Blood instantly flowed from his hand while his bones deformed.Ashton grimaced due to the pain and
said through gnashed teeth, “Is this… good enough for you?”Every single person in the crowd was
shocked by what they witnessed.This young man is really ruthless!To think he can have the Reaper
self-mutte submissively!At that point, everyone looked at Kingsley with utter awe, no longer daring to
say another insult or mockery.Seeing Ashton’s bloody hand, Paige scrunched her nose and said, “This
is too brutal. I’m done ying with you guys. Bye!”Ashton, on the other hand, hit the roof and nearly
cursed.Why didn’t you think it was brutal when you whipped me?!After Paige left, Kingsley looked down
at Caleb. “I’ve said this before; I won’t take your life today, but you’d better behave yourself.”Caleb
couldn’t talk tough anymore, for he was already on the verge of passing out from so much
pain.Following that, Kingsley walked over to Peter and squatted down to his eye level. “Young Master
Peter, I hope you won’t forget about your promise.”The terrified Peter shuddered, looking at him like he
was Satan. “W-What promise?”“Didn’t you say that you’d set up a live stream and eat sh*t if your
family’s invitation is withdrawn?”“But…” Peter still wanted to quibble.“Young Master Peter, I would
advise you not to go back on your word,” said Kingsley as he patted Peter’s face lightly. “You have
seven days until the end of the month. I look forward to your live stream then.”With that, he slowly
stood up and left, disregarding Peter’s terrified and begging gaze.It wasn’t until the janky Volkswagen
Santana disappeared from everyone’s sight that Ashton dared to raise his head.“Pfft! You’re just
Tanner’s boy toy! How dare you act so rampantly?!” he cursed then turned to Caleb and Peter. “You
two hang on. I’m calling the ambnce. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make sure he pays for it!”“I’m going to
kill that son of a wh*re! I want him dead!” Caleb roared, lying on the ground while hugging his
leg.………Connor, the eldest young master of the Summers Family, rushed back home from the next
town when heard someone had broken his younger brother’s leg.Veins popped from his clenched fists
when he saw Caleb lying on the bed with a stered leg. “This is intolerable! No one is allowed to
trample all over us! He has to pay for what he’s done!”“Yes, he has to pay!” Caleb was outraged.
“Connor, what are you going to do? Do you have a good n?”
