The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 23

30 minutes later at Ashton’s house.

“Somebody, help!” Samantha screamed in despair!

Never in Samantha’s wildest dreams could she imagine that the expected son-in-law in her mind would do such a thing! Samantha and Lily were both tied up.

“Hush,” said Ashton as he placed his finger on his lips as a motion of silence. “Stop shouting, no one can hear you even if you shout till your throat is broken. My house’s walls’ thickness is three times the average. Save your energy,” Ashton said as he beamed.

Samantha clenched her fists tightly, her eyes were red. “Ashton, don’t be rash, you’re a talented young man with a bright future, don’t ruin it!”

“Shut up!” Ashton strode toward Samantha, grabbed her hair, and shouted. “Ruin my future? Let me be honest with you, my future is already gone! I fought and struggled for my business for 10 years, and just as I’ve gotten some achievements, the Darby clan kicked me out of the company!”

“What… What did you say?” Lily was shocked. “They chased you out of the company? Didn’t you sell your company to buy me The Worship of Crystal?”

“Hahaha!”

Ashton laughed and slowly stood up from the bed. “You believed that crap I said? I have a total of 30 million bucks, do you think I’ll use 30 million bucks just to get you a pair of heels? You must be crazy!”

Ashton clenched his fists tightly. “Yes, you’re beautiful and sexy, but don’t think too highly of yourself! To be honest, that pair of heels you received wasn’t from me! I had thought that you were a classy goddess, Lily, but it turns out that you’re just another rotten sl*t! You’re with lots of other men, aren’t you? If not why wouldn’t you know who gave you those heels?”

“Ashton Adagio, you bastard!”

Lily was furious. She wanted to get up and give Ashton two hard slaps! However, she was tied up tightly and had no means to do so. All she could do was bite her lips so tightly that it almost bled.

Ashton lit a cigarette from his pocket and took a huff. “Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to take good care of you ladies in a bit.”

“Ashton, you’re a good man, why are you so impulsive?” asked Samantha as she stared blankly at him.

“Why?” retorted Ashton with a face full of self-deprecation. “Because I have nothing left! The Darbys kicked me out and withdrew all support for me! Can you guess why the Darbys did such a thing to me?”

Saying that, Ashton let out a laugh. “I asked the Darbys, and they told me that I had offended someone, that’s why they kicked me out. Funny thing is, till now I have no idea who I offended! I’ve given up at this point, there’s no way I can come back from this in this lifetime. Lily, I’ve liked you for so many years, today I must fulfill my wish!”

Lily and Samantha exchanged looks, both of them were in total despair.

However, it was at this moment when there was a sudden knock on the door!

Ashton’s body flinched as he was frightened. He pointed at Samantha and Lily swiftly and warned, “If any of you dare to make any sound, I guarantee that it’ll be the death of you.”

After that, Ashton called out, “Who is it?”

“Greetings sir, the candles you’ve ordered have arrived,” answered a voice from the opposite side of the door.

Ashton breathed a sigh of relief. It was just the delivery person. He had ordered candles as he initially wanted to invite Lily for a candlelight dinner after Grandmother Lyndon approved of their marriage, but now it was no longer necessary.

“You can leave it at the door,” instructed Ashton.

“My apologies sir, I require a signature to confirm receipt of the parcel.”

“So damn troublesome,” said Ashton impatiently as he opened the door.

It was at this moment that Samantha hurriedly glanced at Lily.

“Quick, think of something.”

Lily understood Samantha’s intentions. The effects of the drug have worn off but her body was still weak. Through some considerable effort, she managed to get her cellphone out, wanting to send Darryl a text message.

“Are you mad!” Samantha scolded softly. “Call the police! What good is there to call that piece of trash! Call the police!”

Samantha’s eyes were red. Even if that piece of trash were to come, he would be no use at all! She could not believe that at this time, Lily was still thinking about him!

Eventually, that thought occurred to Lily and she called the police instead.

The call connected but Lily dared not make a sound, instead, she tapped incessantly on her cellphone’s screen before hanging up quickly.

If Ashton were to find out, the consequences would be too ghastly to contemplate!

Donghai City’s police force were professional and dutiful. If they were any intelligent, surely they would have guessed that someone was in danger.

After Ashton signed for delivery, he placed the candles on the table and walked back toward the bedside.

Ashton could not hold it back any longer upon seeing the two beauties…

Meanwhile, at the Lyndon clan's villa.
