However, Wendell's action was quicker. He opened the box and revealed the gift inside.
It was a delicate and gorgeous mechanical clock. With just one look, one could tell that it was worth quite a bit.
However, everyone knew the meaning behind gifting someone a clock for their birthday.
In Chinese, the word 'gifting a clock' sounded similar to sending someone to their death.
It was clear that his gift for Yenora wasn't sincere, but it was him cursing her to die an early death.
Knowing his vicious intent, Ashley and Yenora's faces sank.
"Wendell, you've gone too far!" Ashley glared at him.
He had a look of dissatisfaction on his face. "Miss Ashley, what are you talking about? Are you not satisfied with this gift? If that's the problem, then should I get one that's more expensive and send it to the Zhou family house instead?”
"Take back your words, Wendell! I demand an apology!" She gritted her teeth and spat.
"Apologize? I gave you a gift from the bottom of my heart, but you are asking me for an apology? How does this make sense?" He spread out his hands and taunted.
She muttered in a low, serious tone, "Wendell, don't pretend to be stupid. If you don't apologize, there's no way you are leaving this hotel."
As they were talking, she waved her hand, and the security guards of the hotel surrounded them.
Seeing this, the smile on his face slowly dissipated, and his face grew serious. "Are you declaring a war with me, Miss Ashley?"
"If you don't apologize, I'll beat you until you do!" She shouted.
"In that case, I'll play along." Wendell snorted and then waved his hand. "Wolfen, it's your turn to shine."
In an instant, a young man with long hair and scarlet eyes walked out with a sneer.
At the same time, Ashley was equally as furious. Disregarding everything, she barked her orders, "Beat him till he's half-dead."
The security guards and bodyguards of the Zhou family were prepared to rush up and attack.
However, at this time, Fade, who stood behind them, stepped forward and came to Yenora's side. He reminded her, "Don't let them do anything. They are of no match to Wolfen."
"Hmm..." She was a little confused, but she immediately nodded and was about to ask the security guards and bodyguards to retreat. "Guys, stop..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Ashley glared at Fade and snapped, "What are you doing? How dare you say that? This is Zhou family business, it has nothing to do with you."
His voice was flat and calm as he said, "I'm only speaking the truth. Your people are no match for the other party. If you proceed, you are just like a moth prancing towards a flame. You won't inflict any damage except onto yourselves."
"Ashley, Brother Chen won't lie to me. Ask them to retreat!" Yenora was the one with a soft heart. Hearing Fade's words, she immediately became worried for the safety of their guards.
On the contrary, her words further angered Ashley. "What are you talking about? These men are the elite martial artists of our family. What's your intention, trying to ruin our confidence?"
"You idiot!" Fade took a look at her, snorted, and retreated without saying anything else.
"How dare you call me an idiot? You..." She was furious. She raised her hand and was prepared to slap him across the face.
However, just as her palm was about to touch his cheek, she felt a cold pressure coming towards her, causing her body to turn stiff, and she was unable to move.
At the same time, a terrifying chill rose from the bottom of her heart, and her entire body trembled.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Fade flashed an icy glare at her.
