Chapter 619
“yvie, try this dish! It’s a specialty of Jeckton!” Ellen said as she piled more food onto Yvette’s plate, denying Wilson the chance to do so himself
Wilson’s eyes flashed with annoyance, and he couldn’t help but feel a little left out. Ellen had been monopolizing Yvette’s attention all evening. Now, she was even taking away his chance to serve her food.
Ashton, on the other hand, was in high spirits. He joined in on the fun, also piling food onto Yvette’s plate. “Yvie, try this dish. It’s delicious!”
Yvette looked at her plate, which was now overflowing with food, and couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s enough. Ellie, Ash, I’m full now.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, you’ve barely eaten anything!” Ellen immediately protested, shooting Wilson a dirty look.
“And Yvie, you’ve lost weight since you’ve been in Jubilife. I don’t know how your fiancé has been taking care of you, but it’s clear he’s not doing a very good job. You should come back to us and let us take care of you instead!”
Yvette could feel Wilson’s irritation intensifying with each passing moment. She discreetly reached out under the table to take his hand, trying to calm him down.
Wilson’s expression softened, and he tightened his grip on Yvette’s hand, his fingers intertwining with hers.
Just then, Ellen accidentally dropped her spoon. If she bent down to pick it up, she would have seen Yvette’s and Wilson’s hands clasped together under the table.
When Ellen leaned down to pick up the fallen spoon, Yvette swiftly pulled her hand away from his grasp. She acted as if nothing had happened, maintaining her composure.
A sardonic smile twisted Wilson’s lips as he watched Yvette. His strikingly handsome, almost demonic features took on a sinister cast.
He was her spouse, so why was Yvette treating him like a secret lover?
“Yvie, I’ve had Raymond locked up, and he’s waiting for you to deal with him!”
The name alone made Ashton’s blood boil. “Yvie, that bastard dared to do that to me. You have to make him pay for what he did!”
Yvette readily agreed, her stunning fox–like eyes flashing with a cold intensity. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”
She was fiercely protective of those around her. No one was allowed to hurt them.
Chapter 19
Raymond, who had been unconscious, was suddenly jolted awake by an electric shock. Before he could even process what was happening, he was punched in the face again. He let out a blood–curdling scream.
Ashton’s fury grew even deeper when he saw Raymond regain consciousness. With another vicious kick, he snarled out a command. “Keep electrocuting him! I want him dead!”
He had never been treated like this before and was determined to make Raymond pay for the humiliation. If Ashton didn’t kill that bastard today, he wouldn’t be able to get over this.
“Yes, sir!” the guards replied, increasing the electric shocks. Raymond’s body began to convulse in agony, barely able to speak.
“Damn… You… Do you think you can do whatever you want because you have the Dark Organization backing you? You’re wrong. I’ll never… let you get away with this!”
Ashton found the man’s greasy face repulsive. He punched Raymond again, leaving him bruised and swollen.
“You think I’m afraid of you? You don’t even know who I am or who my sister is! My sister can crush you
with just one finger!”
Ashton’s words were met with skepticism by Raymond, who sneered at him. “No way. Your sister can’t possibly be that powerful.”
Raymond obviously didn’t trust a word Ashton said. His eyes, filled with venomous hatred were fixed on Ashton. “As soon as I get out of here, I’m going to kill you-”
“Just who are you planning to kill?”
A cold and detached voice echoed through the room.
The moment Raymond heard the voice, his knees buckled. It was a sound he knew all too well. Yvette entered the room, her long, graceful legs seeming to glide across the floor. Her eyes, cold and penetrating, were fixed on Raymond, creating a palpable sense of tension.
The moment Raymond saw Yvette’s face, his legs buckled, and he fell to his knees.
“Master Xev…”
He was certain of it. The woman before him was the infamous Master Xev, the ruthless ruler of the underworld.
Years ago, during a chance encounter in Jubilife, he caught a glimpse of her from afar. Her angelic features were at stark odds with the terrifying things she could do.
“Yvie, that guy was being rude to you a moment ago!” Ashton felt emboldened as soon as he
saw Yvette.
“Master Xev, I didn’t know he was with you! If I had known, I wouldn’t have dared to touch

him even if you gave me a hundred chances!” Raymond begged for mercy, groveling at her
feet.
Yvette leaned languidly against the wall with her long, slender legs crossed casually, Her posture radiated a relaxed yet captivating charm. She seemed completely uninterested in Raymond’s pleas.
“You’ve done many evil things over the years. Don’t you think it’s too late to ask for mercy now?”
Raymond trembled with fear, still groveling. “Master Xev, please don’t kill me! I’ll do anything you want!”
“I can spare your life,” Yvette said, seemingly bored.
“Thank you, Master Xev! Thank you for sparing my life-”
Raymond’s face lit up with hope, but it was short–lived.
“Cripple him, so he can never have any lustful thoughts again.”
Without hesitation, the guards bowed and responded immediately. Moments later, Raymond’s agonizing cries pierced the basement.
As Yvette exited the basement, Wilson approached her and took her hand.
This sight immediately irritated Ashton. “Wilson, what are you doing? Let go of my sister!” He had been so busy lately that he hadn’t spent much time with Yvette. Now that she was finally here, he was determined to make sure no one took her away from him.
While Ashton’s eyes blazed with fury, Wilson’s beautiful, seductive lips curled into a nonchalant smirk. He then began to speak slowly, each word carefully chosen. “Ashton, I’m sure you don’t want everyone finding out what happened to you in Jeckton, don’t you?”
It was a threat–a blatant one!
