He knew the Spirit Stones contained a violent force.
If he swallowed the Stones directly, would his body burst into pieces from the force?
But Ares didn’t give him the time to ponder over it.
He pushed the Spirit Stones into Julian’s mouth by force.
Once the Spirit Stones entered his stomach, their forces began to flow out.
The violent force flowed throughout his body like hot lava.
Imagine the pain Julian had to bear as it felt like hot lava coursing through his entire body.
The pain was more excruciating, and ten times worse compared to the pain he suffered earlier when his limbs were broken.
In the end, Julian passed out.
Ares immediately used his energy to help the Spirit Stones’ force build and recover Julian’s broken limbs.
The pain was so much it even rouse Julian to wake up again.
With that, Julian was tormented repeatedly until he felt death was a better option.
In the meantime, an unwanted guest appeared at the New Linton Group today—Emily Clemons.
Emily was Zeke’s ex-girlfriend.
Back then, she dumped Zeke because he was poor.
Zeke had to marry Lacey because he was left without a choice.
Even after they had broken up, Emily kept creating trouble for Zeke and Lacey.
However, she wasn’t Zeke’s match.
In the end, she was defeated and lost everything she had.
In fact, her entire family was ruined.
Her brother was locked up in jail while her mother went crazy.
The old Linton Group was now the top corporation in Rivermouth.
Since everyone in Rivermouth knew Emily had once offended Zeke, nobody wanted to hire her.
She had been struggling very much to survive and could barely buy herself a decent meal.
Therefore, she knew she had to ask for Zeke and Lacey’s forgiveness in order to survive.
Therefore, Emily had made her way here to ask Zeke and Lacey to forgive her.
In the new Linton Group’s CEO office, Lacey was working diligently with Zeke hanging around by her side.
They weren’t talking to each other, but the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Right then, someone pushed the door open forcefully, disturbing the peace in the office.
The person who came in was Dawn. The only people who get to enter the CEO’s office without knocking were Nancy and Dawn.
After coming in, Dawn panted, “Lacey, Dawn, I have bad news!”
Both Zeke and Lacey turned to Dawn as they were baffled. “What happened?”
Dawn replied, “An old friend is here to meet you.”
She paused and added, “Well, to be honest, I have never expected that she’d be so shameless to show up again.”
Zeke and Lacey’s interests were piqued. “Who is it? Stop making us guess.”
“Forget it. I don’t even want to mention her name,” Dawn exhaled. “You can see for yourself.”
She then turned and yelled toward the door, “Come on in!”
Soon, Emily walked in.
Upon seeing her, Zeke and Lacey stood up in utter disbelief.
I can’t believe it’s her! How can she show up here!
Emily did not look as glamorous as before. Instead, she seemed rather frail and exhausted.
Luckily, she was good at dressing up. On top of that, she was also more matured, and she even looked more attractive than before.
Thus, no men would be able to resist her charms.
Lacey and Zeke exchanged glances, overwhelmed with emotions upon seeing an old friend.
They didn’t even know what to say to her.
Thud!
Unexpectedly, Emily fell to her knees in front of Lacey and Zeke.
“Lacey, Zeke, I’m really sorry. I am here to apologize to both of you. I’ve been reflecting on my mistake all the while. I know I was really wrong back then. I am nothing but a beast. Please forgive me.”
