SWNOVELS Chapter 215 A Cruel Woman
The others watched Ashlee leave with Jackson.
They didn't stand up until the door closed. They worked together to clean up the bath. Some of the men who had worked there for a period dragged the body out. There was a young man who was sent to Wolf gang headquarters together with Jackson back then.
It was the first time he had seen such a thing. He turned to the man next to him. The man was called Mason Brown. "Mason, can we leave? I want to get out of here," he asked.
He was a refugee from Dhololuhm, rescued from the refugee camp by Ashlee's henchmen. He had thought that he wouldn't have to return to the camp, but he didn't expect to see such a bloody scene on his first day in Ashlee's place. He was frightened.
He had never expected Ashlee to be such a cruel woman, although she was pretty on the surface.
Mason quickly covered the man's mouth and nervously said, "Shh! Don't say such things again in the future. If Ms. Gomez hears it, you will skin you alive."
The young man fell to the ground, trembling. "What?"
His face turned pale from fear, and his delicate features wrinkled.
Mason sighed. He crouched down and patted his shoulder.
"You don't need to be afraid. As long as we serve her well, we don't need to worry about anything else," Mason advised.
The reason why Mason had lived longer than others was because he knew Ashlee's temper well.
"But... what made Ms. Gomez so violent?" the young man asked.
Mason had been working there for many years. His main responsibility was taking care of Ashlee. He was smart and had heard a lot about the people who had been killed because of the mistakes they made while serving Ashlee.
Mason looked around and saw people gradually dispersing. He also saw that the man was extremely afraid, so he approached him and whispered, "I heard from someone who used to serve Ms. Gomez here that she had a lover before. She was pregnant with the man's child at that time, but he abandoned her.
"I heard that the man was killed by Ms. Gomez later. His body was frozen in the ice cellar of this palace. In our country, it is a tradition to bury the dead. Now you can see how much Ms. Gomez hated that man." The young man trembled as he listened, his teeth chattering. "His body was kept and frozen? Why is Ms. Gomez so cruel?" he asked.
Mason shook his head, and replied, "It seems that the man never loved Ms. Gomez in the first place. He was only with her to spite another woman. However, Ms. Gomez believed that the man fell in love with the other woman because that woman was more beautiful than her.
"That's why she hated him so much. Love is indeed a difficult thing to understand. Let's get back to work. Don't think about today's events anymore. There will be even more... scary encounters in the future! I'd better not mention those things again."
...
After Ashlee and Jackson had sex, Ashlee went to the ice cellar, though she was a bit tired at that moment.
Inside the ice cellar, there was an ice coffin with a man lying inside. His face was pale, and his features were extremely delicate, although his skin appeared dry due to lack of moisture.
After all, the skin of a dead person could never be as vibrant as that of a live one.
Ashlee held a bottle of pills and approached the ice coffin. She used her left hand to open the man's lips and stuffed a pill in her right hand into the man's mouth.
The man's name was Malcolm Jacobo. He was loved and hated by Ashlee.
"Malcolm, I got this medicine from the Immortal Man. When a dead person takes it, it can maintain their youthful appearance. The Immortal Man spent a lot of resources and effort to develop this medicine, and I also paid a great price for your appearance. Do you know why I've kept you around? I want you to witness me ruining the children of your beloved woman, one by one," she sneered.
