Torn Between Love and Hate

Chapter 19 How is Ashton's Wife?

Ashton's face darkened as he sneered, "Mr. Davis, you are not going with Mr. Black? This woman is slutty One man can't satisfy her Tom, who was sitting at the side, did not dare to follow. How could he sleep with Joseph's woman?

Tom did not know how to answer, feeling anxious. Joseph stepped out and responded, "Mr. Mullen, don't worry about it. I will satisfy

her."

Ashton could not suppress his anger. He wanted to get up and fight, but he could not find a suitable reason at the moment.

Deborah was carried out by Joseph and entered the elevator while everyone was watching in the corridor.

The humiliation and shame made her blush and angry.

Joseph was too strong, and her struggle was like a tickle to him.

She didn't know what to do, so she could only say anxiously, "I... I am Ashton's wife. He was joking with you. If you... touch me, he will not forgive you."

Joseph motioned to the bodyguard outside the elevator to leave. He carried Deborah with one hand and pressed the bottom floor of,

the elevator with the other.

His voice was frivolous. "What a coincidence. I just want to sleep with Ashton's wife. If he gives me some other woman, i will not be interested."

Deborah struggled desperately in vain, not knowing who Joseph was.

She had never seen anyone in Richmond who dared to touch Ashton's woman.

No matter what, she was Ashton's real wife.

She could not push Joseph away, and he took her to a hotel room.

The door of the room was closed, and the light sound of the door being locked made Deborah shiver all over.

In her most desperate moment, she could not help but hope Ashton would save her.

Ashton would save her, right? After all, they had been married for five years. With his obsession with cleanliness, he would not tolerate

another man touching her.

Joseph threw her onto the sofa, undoing his tie with one hand, and holding down on her shoulder with the other, pressing her back against the back of the sofa.

He sniffed gently in her ear. "How will it feel like to sleep with Ashton's wife?"

Deborah pushed him hard, her voice desperate and fearful. "Get lost! Get lost! You are forcing me. I will call the police. The law will

punish you!"

Joseph tucked her messy hair behind her ear and smiled. "The law. The law of Richmond is up to either the Black family or the Mullen family. Which one are you referring to?" Deborah was terrified and had nowhere to retreat. She couldn't help but look at the door, hoping it would suddenly be pushed open.

She had heard the sound of Ashton kicking open the door too many times. The sound would bring her panic and fear.

But at this moment, she was looking forward to hearing that sound.

Joseph ran out of patience to play with his prey. He pulled her gently and let her lie down on the sofa.

Deborah felt everything in front of her was white and blurry.

At that moment, the five years she spent with Ashton, their four years of marriage, and the details of their life together flashed through

her mind.

Deborah's struggling movements slowly stopped, and her eyes were blank as she stared at the ceiling

In the private room, the men sitting around the table all noticed the atmosphere was not right. Realizing they couldn't have Deborah, the men all got up and found excuses to leave After everyone left, Ashton went out again and didn't see Joseph or Deborah

Ashton knew Joseph was a notorious playboy Joseph was vicious and lascivious

Everyone in Richmond knew Joseph was an illegitimate son of the Black Group, but now he was the powerful CEO of the Black Group, and even his family was afraid of him

It was said Joseph hit the previous CEO, Gerald Black's wife and their son with his car. In the incident, the mother was killed, and the son was crippled. With crooked tricks, Joseph made Gerald impotent.

In this way, the Black family could only accept Joseph and his mother's ashes, because Joseph was the only male successor

After entering the Black family, Joseph committed all kinds of crimes and was notorious for being ruthless to women. Rumor had it that some women were hurt and even killed by Joseph during sex Therefore, the greediest female sex worker in Mauve Club didn't dare to serve Joseph

Jeff stood beside Ashton. When Jeff thought of what Joseph would do to Deborah, he could not help but say with worry. "Sir, should i bring Ms. Shepherd back?"

Ashton's jaw was tense, and he did not say a word

Jeff immediately stopped the waiter not far away "Go to your manager and

which room Mr Black has booked"

The waiter immediately nodded and went to do it. Soon, the manager personally came over and replied. "Mr. Mullen, Mr. Black just left with a young lady. He didn't book a room here." Ashton's face turned sour. It was hard to tell where Joseph would take Deborah.

Ashton walked forward without a word, entered the elevator, and left Mauve Club

Not long after the car left the club, Ashton's phone rang. It was Helen calling him.

Ashton picked up the phone. He was absent-minded and did not speak.

Helen said, "Ashton, are you still busy? I saw Debby was back. Didn't she go out with you? Why didn't you come back?"

Ashton was surprised and quickly replied, "I'm on my way back. Ill be home soon."

Helen responded. "Okay, then I'll bring Debby some medicine. She looks sick."

Ashton forced himself out of that strange and irritable mood. "Don't bring it to her. Don't let her hurt you again."

Helen smiled. "Then I'll ask Nina to send it. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's almost dark, and it's quite cold outside. Come back early"

Ashton hung up the phone and looked at Jeff, who was driving faster in front of him. "Go back to the manor."

Jeff was calling a nearby hotel while driving. When he heard it, he looked at the rearview mirror in surprise. "Sir, aren't you looking for Ms. Shepherd?"

Ashton looked indifferent. "Did I tell you I was looking for her?"

Jeff recalled that Ashton did not say that. Did Jeff misunderstand?

But if Deborah slept with Joseph, she would....

Jeff had no choice but to end the call with the hotel and change the direction to drive back to the manor.

2/3

When they got home, Ashton entered the living room and looked at the door leading to the basement.

Helen walked down the stairs with a pale face. The wounds on her face had been just treated.

She looked very weak. Ashton quickly walked over to hold her.

Nina, who followed Helen down, said, "Sir, Dr. Wilson said Ms. Bauer was seriously hurt by Ms. Shepherd Ms. Bauer might have internal injuries. Dr. Wilson also said the medicine and medical equipment here were limited. He suggested Ms. Bauer go to the hospital for a checkup."

Ashton frowned. He did not expect Deborah to be so ruthless. He underestimated her.

Helen said softly, "Ashton. If you are busy, I will go to the hospital alone. I am fine. It is not that serious."

Ashton ordered Jeff, "Start the car. I will take Helen to the hospital."

Jeff couldn't mention Deborah now, so he had to do as told.

After a check-up at the hospital, Ernest said Helen was in a serious condition and should be hospitalized.

Helen was a little scared, so Ashton stayed.

Helen couldn't sleep well the whole night. When Ashton noticed she seemed to be asleep, he wanted to go out. However, she woke up and looked at him in fear. "Ashton, are you leaving?"

Ashton stayed overnight. It was not until nine o'clock the next morning that Helen fell asleep peacefully.

Ashton didn't know why, but he always felt uncomfortable. He got up and left the ward, wanting to return to the manor.

He received a transfer message from Joseph on his phone.

Ashton tapped it in confusion, and there was a message on the transfer page: "She tastes good. Thank you, Mr. Mullen
