He knew that if he beat Gordon up because of Ashlyn, the Jones family would give her hell.
But now the situation was different. Ashlyn and Gordon had divorced, so he didn’t have to worry about the Jones family making things difficult for her.
Thinking of this, Devin threw punches faster and heavier.
After being punched in the face, Gordon felt dizzy for a moment, but he quickly gathered his bearings. When Devin’s fist came at him again, he bent down to dodge and took the opportunity to kick Devin.
It seemed that the two men were going to beat each other to death. Aiken finally got out of the car and yelled, “Stop! Stop right now! If you keep fighting like this, you’ll be on the news tomorrow!”
But no one listened to him. Seeing that Gordon was at a disadvantage, Aiken hurried to stop Devin. “Devin, that’s enough! He’s drunk! That’s not fair, is it?”
“Fuck you! He’s the one taking unfair advantage!” Devin roared and refused to slow down even though Aiken tried to stop him. He punched Gordon in the face and said, “Why didn’t you treat your own wife well while you two were married? Why would you marry her in the first place if you didn’t even like her? Gordon, you are a fucking scumbag!”
If Devin hadn’t been late, he would never have let Gordon marry Ashlyn.
Aiken pulled Gordon and Devin apart. Gordon came to his senses after receiving a few punches from Devin. He raised a hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked up at Devin, sneering as he said, “You’re not really falling in love with Ashlyn, are you?”
He then paused before adding scornfully, “But you know what? I married her before you. You are a loser! What a pity! You lost this time. Completely.”
“Gordon!” Devin roared.
Aiken noticed that Devin was preparing to punch Gordon again and reached out a hand to stop him. “Devin, stop. He’s drunk and talking nonsense. Don’t try to argue with a drunk man! Moreover, he ended up drinking so much tonight because he was upset that Ashlyn didn’t talk to him.”
“Aiken, just shut up, will you?”
Gordon was indeed drunk. Aiken had found that before he had arrived, Gordon had already drunk a bottle of wine by himself. The two of them had drunk two more bottles.
At Gordon’s words, Aiken scoffed. “You think I’m not making sense? Anyway, come on. We should leave, or Devin will not let you go!”
Gordon had indeed drunk a lot, but he was sober. Aiken’s words seemed to make him very unhappy.
What did his drinking have to do with Ashlyn?
What was more, he was amused by the fact that a playboy like Devin would claim to love Ashlyn so much.
Gordon pushed Aiken away. “Get out! Don’t touch me!”
He then turned to look at Devin and said, “What a pity! Ashlyn loves me, not you.”
The cold wind sobered Devin up. He smiled sarcastically at Gordon and said, “You are right. So what? You lost her! She is not your wife anymore! She is not Mrs. Jones anymore! And she will be my wife!”
Devin continued to stare at Gordon before realizing that there was no need to talk with Gordon.
Ashlyn would not forgive Gordon no matter what, and Devin didn’t think she was the type to go back to such a man.
Gordon being a jerk meant that Devin had a chance to win Ashlyn’s heart.
Devin smiled at this thought and said, “Gordon, I hope you will watch and smile when I marry Ashlyn.”
“Let’s see if you will live such a day!”
Both parties had landed fierce punches and kicks in this fight. But Gordon seemed to be in a worse status than Devin.
Gordon frowned as he watched Devin drive away. He recovered after a while and said to Aiken, “Take me back.”
“Sure, Mr. Jones. I must have owed you in my previous life!” Aiken said, rolling his eyes as he opened the car door. He sighed, watching Gordon settle down in the car. “I think Devin has fallen in love with Ashlyn.”
Gordon froze in the middle of fastening his seat belt. The corners of his mouth turned down as he said roughly, “So what? Do you also love her?”
Aiken believed a man like Gordon deserved to be single all his life.
Aiken was about to say more, but he shut up at the thought of Gordon’s temper flaring.
Twenty minutes later, Aiken’s car stopped at Gordon’s apartment building. Aiken turned to look at Gordon’s wounded face, his sympathy bubbling up. “Have you ever thought about why you don’t want to divorce Ashlyn?”
Gordon, who had fallen asleep, opened his eyes and looked at him coldly. “Because I have no intention of marrying again.”
“If that person wasn’t Ashlyn, would you marry her?” Aiken persisted, unwilling to give up.
Gordon didn’t say anything this time.
After a long, cold silence, he replied, “I don’t love Ashlyn. You don’t need to sound me out.”
He got out of the car and slammed the door shut behind him.
Aiken was annoyed as he watched Gordon’s retreating back.
“Poor man! He doesn’t realize he’s jealous,” he muttered under his breath.
What happened outside the hotel was posted online at two o’clock in the morning. Despite the quiet night, Ashlyn’s words and the sudden appearance of Gordon’s true love, Raina, shocked many night owls.
The topic gained traction quickly. By seven o’clock that morning, the topic of “Gordon’s True Love, Raina” had become the most searched keyword on the Internet.
Denise received countless messages and screenshots from her friends. When she woke up and saw the news, she was stunned.
Her brother was a trending topic again!
“Wasn’t Raina in a coma abroad? When did she come back?” she murmured.
A million questions swirled in Denise’s head, but she couldn’t answer any of them.
Nathaniel got up at around six o’clock. After a quick morning exercise, he sat in the garden for some respite and listened to his secretary report all the latest developments.
Of course, Nathaniel was not fond of gossip. He listened to the news and gossip related to the company and the Jones family. As for other things, he had no interest.
His secretary didn’t dare to hide such a big thing. He handed the tablet to Nathaniel and reported, “Mr. Jones, Gordon has become a trending topic again.”
“A company-related matter I presume?”
The secretary smiled awkwardly. “No. It is related to Ashlyn.”
At the mention of Ashlyn, Nathaniel’s expression instantly darkened. “Then this can’t be a good thing.”
He took the tablet and put on his glasses.
Five minutes later, Nathaniel was so angry that he smashed the tablet onto the ground. “Bullshit! Ashlyn has crossed the line! She thinks she can confuse right and wrong just because she’s Stevie’s daughter?”
The secretary knew that Nathaniel loathed Ashlyn, so he didn’t dare to defend her.
It wasn’t until Nathaniel had vented his anger that he spoke up cautiously. “Mr. Jones, there are a lot of negative comments on this matter. Should we ask Gordon to clarify it?”
Nathaniel calmed down and replayed the video. Only then did something occur to him. “When did Raina come back?”
“I don’t know either.”
Nathaniel’s eyes flashed coldly. “Where is Gordon?”
“The butler said that he didn’t come home last night.”
“Then tell him to come back right now!”
Later that morning, Nathaniel sat in the living room with a long face. Denise and the others were all shocked when they went downstairs.
Gordon had a long and rough night. He drank a lot and got into a fight with Devin. He was still asleep when the butler called him.
The butler reported that his grandfather wanted to see him.
Gordon sat up in bed and said, “Okay.”
