Jessie couldn’t wait to teach Denise a lesson. Denise was always so arrogant. The other night, she crossed the line when she tried to get Ashlyn hurt. If Ashlyn didn’t insist that she’d take revenge herself, Jessie would’ve stormed into the Jones family’s residence and given Denise a good beating herself.
“It’s almost time. Let’s go to the club already. Your people should have taken her there by now, right?”
Ashlyn glanced at her unhurriedly. “What’s the rush? Wouldn’t it be nice to let her experience despair a little longer?”
Hearing that, Jessie was stunned. Then she came to her senses and broke into a huge grin. “You’re totally right.”
The two of them set out a little after eight o’clock. When they arrived at Citrine Club, it was just half past eight.
Denise had been locked in the private room for more than an hour now. The room had good sound insulation and was locked from the outside. Even if she screamed at the top of her lungs, no one would bat an eyelash.
At first, she was so angry that she trembled all over and wouldn’t stop cursing. But the longer she was locked up in there, the more scared she became.
The Jones family enjoyed a high position in Courtbush. Logically speaking, no one would dare to hurt her. So she was completely caught off guard when a bunch of people dragged her into a car more than an hour ago.
After those people brought her here, they left and locked the door behind them. Until now, no one had come to check up on her.
When she heard the door being unlocked, Denise couldn’t help but think about all the murder cases she had heard about. However, when she saw Ashlyn come in, she was stunned. “Did you ask them to bring me here?” she asked angrily.
Ashlyn smiled calmly and asked, “Surprised?”
“What the fuck do you want?”
“Shouldn’t I be asking you that question, Denise? Do you regret what you did the night before yesterday?”
Denise instantly froze. “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Ashlyn poured a glass of wine and then looked at Jessie meaningfully.
Jessie got the hint and took a pill out of her bag and handed it to Ashlyn.
Ashlyn then threw the pill into the glass of red wine.
After that, she looked at Denise again and said with a pout, “Denise, I’ve already told you that I’m not the kind of person who would simply swallow humiliation.”
She swirled the red wine in the glass and continued, “But you never learn, do you? I’ll make anyone who tries to hurt me pay me back a hundredfold.”
As soon as Ashlyn finished speaking, she grabbed Denise by the chin and poured the wine into her mouth.
Denise wanted to turn her head away, but Ashlyn was stronger than she had imagined. Ashlyn gripped her chin tightly and kept pouring the red wine into her mouth. Denise wanted to spit it out, but it was impossible.
Denise tried to struggle, but her hands were pinned down by Jessie. She glared at Ashlyn with murderous intent.
But Ashlyn remained unfazed. She leisurely poured the wine into Denise’s mouth until it was nearly finished.
Suddenly, the door was violently kicked open with a bang. But it was too late. Denise had swallowed all of the wine.
Ashlyn tossed the wine glass away and wiped her hands with some tissue unhurriedly.
When Denise saw that it was Gordon and Aiken who had broken in, she stumbled towards them in a hurry. “Gordon! She drugged me! She wanted to have someone rape me!”
Her eyes were wide and filled with fear.
Denise burst into tears and wouldn’t stop wailing. Standing there, Ashlyn remained unmoved. She just looked at Denise and Gordon indifferently, emitting an ominously cold aura about her.
Denise was a complete mess, holding Gordon’s arm and crying pitifully like a toddler.
With a livid face, Gordon looked at Ashlyn as if he was going to strangle her on the spot.
Aiken looked at the scene in front of him and gasped in shock. “Ashlyn, you’ve gone too far!”
Jessie rolled her eyes. “Denise, you’re good at pretending to be innocent. You were the one who drugged Ashlyn in the first place. Now that you’re being punished, you’re scared shitless and claiming innocence.”
After wiping her hands, Ashlyn glanced at Gordon and said indifferently, “You came so quickly.”
Then, looking at Denise, she said with a sneer, “Since the Jones family didn’t raise Denise well, I had no choice but to do it myself.”
After saying that, she looked back at Jessie and said, “Let’s go. I’m hungry.”
Ashlyn started to walk towards the door as if nothing had happened.
She ignored everything around her, including Gordon.
However, before she could step outside, the cold-faced man suddenly grabbed her by the wrist. “Apologize.”
“Are you sure it’s me who should apologize?”
Ashlyn turned her head and looked at him with a slight smile.
Now that Denise had Gordon and Aiken to back her up, she suddenly screamed, “I don’t want her to apologize! I want her to kneel!”
Denise had never been treated like this in her life and felt extremely aggrieved.
Ashlyn chuckled, but her eyes were devoid of warmth. “Denise, are you sure it should be me kneeling down?”
“Ashlyn Ramos!”
