He didn't even realize that in doing so, he didn't want Ashley to 'fight' and 'beg for forgiveness', not even because of her 'weakness'. What he wanted was just an attitude - an attitude in her heart, her attitude towards Milan was still unique.

His long and sturdy body pressed against hers. Suddenly, he let go of his hand and looked down at her from above, as if he was just looking at an ant, his thin lips curled up into a faint smile:


'200 thousand dollars, stay with me for one night."

Ashley loves money so much that she wants to see if Lorne is important or if money is more important.

Ashley suspected she heard wrongly and slowly raised her head: "What did you say?"


'Don't you really like money? Don't you think you can bet your life with 200 grand? Sleep with me for one night, I give you 200 thousand dollars."

Ashley didn't say anything for a long while. It was as if the pause button had been pressed. She just opened her eyes wide and stared at the tall man above her, not even blinking.


"No."

Milan narrowed his eyes: "You said... no?"

'Yes," She looked at him: 'No, I said no."

Because of Lorne? Because of Lorne.

Such a money-hungry woman would refuse 200 thousand dollars?

Lorne… Is that so important?

A spark of excitement suddenly rose in his heart. He bowed his head, his thin lips pressed aggressively against Ashley's lips.

It was this damn mouth, always saying things that angered him.

It was these damn lips that made him angry over and over again.

He kissed those lips fiercely. Even though their lips were as rough as burlap, he seemed to enjoy them, sweet to the bone.

It's like these lips belong to Milan.

He opened his eyes... This person should have belonged to Milan.

When she refused, he became even more domineering.

A crisp echo, suddenly, the world quieted down.

Milan looked at the woman below in disbelief, her hands shaking violently, looking at him in panic.

Milan glared at the woman on the bed. That slap was not strong, not painful, but with Young Master Milan's outstanding life, in this city, Milan was the head of Elise's house, and for the first time in his life, he was slapped. The first time someone slapped him, his thin lips pressed tightly into a straight line, and his eyes stared at the woman below, he suddenly stood up, got off the bed, had his back to Ashley on the bed, and said:

'Change your wet clothes, don't wet my bed."

A pair of men's sweatpants was thrown into Ashley's hands.

Ashley was stunned for a moment. The man did not come back. Under Ashley's attentive gaze, he suppressed his anger and left the bedroom: "Hurry up, Tyson will come check on you later." 

See a doctor?

'I'm not sick."

'You are not sick, why are you suddenly in a coma?"

He coldly replied.

'I'm just not sick."

"Hurry up and change your clothes. There's so much nonsense going on there, it's dirtying my bed."

The man's back disappeared at the bedroom door, and with a 'bang', he closed the door.

Ashley looked at the pair of men's sweatpants in her hand.

Hesitating a bit, she supported her body, slowly took off her wet pants, and changed them.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door: 'Ashley? It's me."

Tyson stood outside the door and knocked politely: "If you don't say a word, I'll go in?"

Ashley's face immediately turned pale, "Don't."

It's late…

Tyson stood at the door, looking at Ashley, his eyes swept over Ashley's body, and a strange light suddenly appeared in the bottom of his eyes.

Milan's clothes, worn by Ashley.

'Did you two just finish practicing?"

"Huh?"

Tyson said it was a joke, but looking at Ashley's slow, head-shaking reaction, he knew the answer.

He walked towards Ashley, and Ashley's face turned even whiter.

'Don't worry, I'm just doing a routine check."

'I'm not sick."

'I'm just checking, it'll be fine."

'No need, I'm not sick."

Tyson suddenly raised his head, and he smiled as if looking at Ashley: "Hey, Ashley, what are you hiding?"

Ashley's heart stopped beating for half a beat: "I just... I'm not sick, I just hate seeing doctors."

Tyson's chin tilted toward the bedroom door: "Do you want me to call him in and tell him right to his face that you're a flawed person now?"

Ashley suddenly opened her eyes wide.

This is the most annoying thing that she doesn't want others to mention.

What was even more unexpected was that someone else had also mentioned this.

'How did you know… As expected." She had just asked Tyson how he knew, then paused for a moment, suddenly she couldn't explain the word ‘as expected'.

Tyson squinted his eyes at Ashley, he vaguely knew a few things.

However, if this was as he guessed, then… Tyson looked at Ashley with pity… She was pitiful enough.

'Have you ever thought that there are some things, that are not like what you think?" At the very least, he knew that no matter how much Milan hated Ashley, he wouldn't be so cruel as to let others take away her kidney.

'It's all in the past. This is what I have to endure." That woman, who was previously confident and ostentatious, now seemed to have reached the end of her life, without any vitality, like an old woman over a hundred years old, just saying those words.

Tyson was shocked.

Although he had seen her humbly kneeling at Milan's feet before him, when he faced this woman, that feeling was even more astonishing.

This humility, so humble that it was almost reflected in every word she said.

"A kidney, in exchange for your 'it's all in the past'?" Before Tyson's eyes appeared the confident face of that year, that year Ashley was also the object of admiration of many young masters of prestigious families, but now this woman, he only thought that three years had only changed her appearance, he did not expect that even her heart had been hollowed out.

"Do you think you should endure all this, Ashley?"

Ashley did not raise her eyes to look at Tyson once, like a machine repeating, "All this, I should endure all this." Her face was so stiff that it did not look like a living person.

Tyson's eyes were filled with disappointment.  It turned out that the Ashley of that day had really disappeared and would never appear again. "I'm going to do a test for you now. Please cooperate." Tyson worked and did not let Ashley avoid him.

 'You better not make a fuss, I'm afraid of hurting you. Or, do you want me to call Milan in here?"
