Why is it that no matter what Penelope and I do, Ashlyn will get involved and ruin everything?
At that moment, a few more cars stopped in front of The Peacock's front door.
Dozens of men got out of the car. Leading them was a man with a rugged face dressed in a robe. Sienna's expression stiffened when she recognized him.
Others might not put a name to that man's face, but she knew who he was.
Isn't he the heir of a prestigious clan in ancient martial arts? I think he's Ben Zene. What is he doing here?
The corner of Sienna's eye twitched. How does Ashlyn know all these people? What about today's plan?
She subtly clenched her jaw at the thought.
No matter the cost, today's plan can't go wrong.
Meanwhile, Jason and Mary were bewildered when they spotted Ben.
Jason had visited the Zene Clan two years ago, pleading to hire a younger member as his bodyguard, but they declined his request.
He still bore a grudge over it until that day.
His expression slowly turned to a mask of anger as he curled his fingers into fists, his lips pressing into a thin line.
What exactly is Ashlyn's background? Why would she have any ties to the Zene Clan? How did she get someone from that clan to come?
Ben strode over to Ashlyn and congratulated her, “Happy birthday, Ms. Ashlyn.”
Ashlyn raised a brow at him. “I don't remember inviting you, Mr. Zene.”
Ben's expression didn't falter when he answered casually, “When the Clan leader placed us in your care, we became a part of your life. Hence, our presence here is justified. There was no need for you to invite us.”
Ashlyn didn't know how to respond to his shameless comment.
He wins since he has the numbers on his side. Whatever he says goes.
Kate's expression turned dark. She had heard about the ancient martial arts clan before.
Word through the grapevine is everyone in the clan is an elite, so how are they related to Ashlyn?
Annoyance surged within her. Then, she spotted the mayor James and his family getting out of his car.
