"P-Paige..." Ashton stuttered with an ashen face, his legs shaking as though they had been electrocuted.
Just how dumb and blind was he to audaciously hit on Miss Tanner?!
"I'm sorry, Miss Tanner!" Ashton dropped to the ground with a thud and begged Paige for mercy.
Before the crowd had time to react, Paige swung her whip while chiding, "Sorry? It's too late for that!"
With a crisp pow, the Serpent Whip slapped viciously on Ashton's back, and the cloth instantly ripped apart, revealing a crimson whip mark.
Ashton grimaced in pain, not daring to make a sound as he gnashed his teeth.
Everyone was flabbergasted by the turn of events, for none of them had thought this innocent-looking young woman could be so ruthless.
However, what was even more shocking was that the Reaper dared not even make a sound when he was being whipped.
With that, everyone started to look at each other, wondering who in the world this hot young woman was.
Peter and Caleb, on the other hand, were even more dumbfounded.
In their minds, Ashton was someone who could get anybody to do whatever he wanted.
But now, he was cowering in front of a woman like a dog!
"Mr. Birch! What are you doing?!" Caleb's eyes widened with incredulity. "She's just a girl. Can't you handle her?!"
"Shut up!" hissed Ashton, shaken to his core when he heard Caleb's words. "If you don't want to die, just keep quiet!"
"You should shut up too if you don't want to die!" Paige ordered coldly as she looked down at him.
"Yes, yes, yes. Whatever you say, Miss
Tanner." Ashton didn't even dare to look up.
His influence was nothing in the face of the Tanner Family, so he didn't dare to continue acting rampantly.
It was only then Kingsley sauntered to Paige and waved. "Hey, we meet again."
The image of his naked body popped into Paige's head when she looked at Kingsley, and her face flushed instantly. "You stinkin' mug! As if I'm pleased to meet you!"
Ashton raised his head gingerly to find Paige behaving a little bashfully, leading his jaw to drop.
Is this really Miss Tanner, the one who has her enemies cowering in fear?!
Kingsley chuckled awkwardly. "I didn't mean it that day. Your bed was so nice that I forgot to put my clothes on before—" Accidentally falling asleep, he wanted to say.
"That's enough!" Paige cut him off before he could finish his words. "I don't want to hear it!"
However, for those who didn't know what actually went down, Kingsley's words sounded rather suggestive.
He didn't put his clothes on before...
Ashton finally realized why this b*stard dared to be so arrogant—he was Miss Tanner's boy toy!
"How do you plan on dealing with these guys?" Paige asked coldly as she put her whip back on her waist.
With that, Kingsley beckoned to Caleb and Peter. "You two, come here."
Caleb's face changed multifold, and his legs took him nowhere as he stayed rooted to the ground.
On the other hand, Peter's face was bloodless, and he held his chest in pain while saying, "I-I'll apologize. I'll apologize, how about that? I really can't move. It hurts too much..."
How dare he continue acting tough when Ashton had yielded?!
However, Kingsley had booted him so ruthlessly that his chest felt unbearably painful when he breathed even a little heavier, let alone move an inch.
Kingsley smirked in response, then looked over at Caleb. "You're unscathed; how come you're not moving? Are you scared of me?"
"I..." At that, Caleb went up to Kingsley resolutely. "What do you want?"
"Young Master Caleb," Kingsley said plainly. "I won't take your life now when I've given you and your family a month."
Then, he pointed at Ashton. "You two— break each other's legs, and we'll call it a day."
