A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 2041

Chapter 2041 

The Chapman family’s wealth and influence were truly astonishing mein 

just twenty minutes of hearing that their heir had been shot of Hunter’s cen 

a helicopter had arrived on the scene. 

“Nathan, wake up! If you die, I win by default Ashton shouted as the medics 

loaded Nathan into the helicopter. She stayed by his side the entire time, 

calling his name. But eventually, she was blocked by the Chapmans men, 

forced to watch helplessly as Nathan, his condition unknown, was whisked 

away for emergency treatment. 

Ashton felt an overwhelming heaviness in her heart, as though the 

snowstorm outside had filled her chest. The events of the night had her mind 

swirling with confusion. Maxwell had given her a heartfelt confession, even 

putting a diamond ring on her finger, and for a moment, she’d felt herself

being pulled back into the past. She had wanted to fall into his arms many 

times that night. 

Nowever, she had held back, her sense of morality reining her in. Ashton had 

never wanted to interfere in other people’s relationships. She hadn’t stepped 

between Emmanuel and Mackenzie, and now, she didn’t want to come 

between Maxwell and Chiara. But if Maxwell continued to pursue her, she 

knew she would eventually cave. She even imagined a future where, if 

Maxwell divorced Chiara, she would give in to her feelings and reunite with 

him, throwing caution to the wind for love. 

But something about Nathan’s actions that night–the way he had risked his 

life to protect her and the sincerity in his words–had wholly shattered the 

spell of Maxwell’s sweet promises. Nathan might be a flawed man, even a 

player, but his eyes were genuine, and his words lacked the polished deceit 

of Maxwell’s, Compared to Maxwell’s smooth, honeyed lines, which felt like 

fragile soap bubbles ready to pop, Nathan’s actions had been row and 

honest 

With that realization, Ashton removed the Snow Blossom diamond ring from 

her finger. Her gaze hardened with determination. “Nathan, you might be a 

weakling, but I swear I’ll find out who did this to you and make sure they pay.” 

she muttered to herself, her determination growing as she started making 

her way back. 

Meanwhile, deep in a secluded part of the forest, where everyone had been 

drawn away by the commotion of Nathan’s shooting, Chiara and Maxwell 

had taken refuge. Chiara had dragged Maxwell along after firing the shot, but 

he wasn’t a trained fighter like her. Out of breath, he couldn’t keep running 

and finally had to stop.

“Useless,” Chiara scoffed, pausing with him, her voice filled with disdain. 

Most people would have snapped at such an insult, especially under the 

tress of the situation. Anyone else might have even lashed out at her 

arrogance, but not Maxwell. He wasn’t offended at all. Instead, he apologized 

“I’m sorry, darling. I know I slowed you down. If I had your martial arts skills, we 

could have taken down Nathan together without anyone knowing. Now, I’m 

not even sure if he’s dead.” 

Chiara smirked coldly. “Whether he’s dead or not doesn’t matter. No one saw 

us, and that’s what counts. As long as he doesn’t wake up before the 

elections, we’ve accomplished what we needed.” 

Maxwell blinked in realization before nodding, offering her a thumbs up. 

“You’re brilliant, darling! All we needed was to cut Emmanuel’s connection to

the Chapman family. Whether Nathan dies or not really doesn’t matter.” 

Chiara’s confidence grow as she explained, “That shot should have hit a vital 

oint. Even if he survives, he won’t be up and about anytime soon.” 

Maxwell agreed, but just as he was about to speak, Chiara clamped a hand 

over his mouth. With her heightened senses as a fighter, she had detected 

footsteps approaching. Her sharp eyes quickly identified the figure–it was 

Ashton. 

“Your little ex–girlfriend is coming. Since you still plan to use her to get the 

Dragon Tome, I’ll leave you to it,” Chiara whispered softly before slipping 

away, leaving Maxwell to handle the situation. 

Understanding Chiara’s signal, Maxwell rushed toward Ashton’s direction, 

feigning panic as he approached her.

“Who’s there?” Ashton called out, instantly alert at the sound of 166tstopa

“It’s me, Ash! Thank goodness I found you!” Maxwell’s voice rang out, full of 

worry, as he rushed toward her, scanning her from head to toe. “Are you 

alright? I saw a helicopter arrive earlier, and I was so scared that something 

had happened to you!” 

“I’m fine, thanks for your concern,” Ashton responded coolly, her tone 

noticeably more distant than before. She furrowed her brow and asked, 

“Didn’t I tell you not to wander off? Why did you come here?”

Maxwell immediately explained, “I heard someone got shot, and I was worried 

about you! Who got shot? What happened?” 

Ashton couldn’t help but wonder if Maxwell was involved in Nathan’s shooting. 

Could it have been a crime of passion? But the concern in his expression 

seemed genuine, and without any concrete evidence, she dismissed the 

suspicion. 

“Nathan got shot,” she finally answered, studying his reaction closely. 

Maxwell’s face turned deathly pale, his eyes wide with fear. “What? Who 

would dare? Was it an accident? This is serious! Nathan’s the only heir to the 

Chapman family. If anything happens to him, the Chapman family will lose it. 

All of Zovince, maybe even all of Chanaea, will be rocked by this!”
