Chapter 320
Kenneth could clearly sense that he was on the precipice of death. His life force was falling apart. At most, he had a few minutes left before dying. And right now, the only one who could save him was Ashton.
Why did Ashton end up being right about everything? Not only did the Energy Condensation Pill not save him, but it also quickened his death!
“What does he know? Why are you asking him to save you!” Bradley fumed.
However, Jane wisely pulled Bradley behind her before shaking her head. She kept quiet, secretly pondering how she would challenge Sheila for the Beldon family’s assets once Kenneth died.
“You can save Mr. Beldon?” Nadine asked as she stared at Ashton in shock.
“I can if I want to, but I have no reason to.”
With an arm around Sheila, Ashton started walking out of the room.
“Don’t go! Save me! Shelly, please talk to him. Ask him to save your dad’s life! I was wrong. I should never have looked down on him. If he’s willing to save my life, I’ll agree to any demand he makes!” Kenneth cried out in a hurry, his eyes bloodshot.
He didn’t want to die.
“Please, Ashton. Please save my dad…” Sheila pleaded as she stopped Ashton from leaving. “I’ll apologize to you on his behalf.”
At the end of the day, Kenneth was still her father. She couldn’t just stand back and watch as he died.
“It’s too late.”
Ashton lived by a set of principles, too.
Sheila’s expression stiffened. Lowering her voice, she pleaded, “Please save him, babe. As long as you save him, I’ll be your woman. I’ll give you anything you want.”
Her face turned red with embarrassment. She never thought she would one day address him so affectionately, but she remembered what Natalie had said before–Ashton couldn’t be won over by force. He had to be mollified.
Meanwhile, as Ashton studied Sheila’s bashful expression, the Drakell technique activated on its own. He had to admit it sounded pretty good to hear her speak so affectionately to him.
“Please save my life, Mr. Gray…” Kenneth begged again.
Nadine also stepped forward, saying, “Mr. Gray, please save Mr. Beldon. I’ll be eternally grateful to you, and I’ll owe you a favor.”
“Are your favors worth a lot? I don’t need it,” Ashton retorted curtly.
Nadine’s expression stiffened. Again, it was the first time a man ever looked down on her like that! She had to take a deep breath to suppress her anger.
“Mr. Beldon’s condition only worsened because the Energy Condensation Pill I gave him triggered the malevolent energy. I have to be responsible for that. If you manage to save him, you can state anything you want from me.”
Ashton swept his gaze over her angelic face and her striking figure. Smirking, he asked, “Are you sure it’s anything I want?”

Nadine trembled slightly beneath his predatory stare, but after a moment of hesitation, she said, “As long as it’s within my power, I’ll do whatever you want, Mr. Gray.”
“What if I ask you to kneel and apologize for your arrogance?” Ashton asked.
Nadine froze in disbelief. “You want me to kneel?”
“I already warned you about the problem with the Energy Condensation Pill, but you insisted on doing things your way,” he calmly stated. “Isn’t it completely reasonable for me to ask you to kneel and admit your mistake?”
Nadine had no words.
A moment later, her chest started to heave, and she slowly said, “If you save Mr. Beldon’s life, I’ll kneel and apologize for my rudeness toward you, Mr. Gray.”
Nodding, Ashton walked up to Kenneth and said curtly, “If you want me to save you, Mr. Beldon, you’ll need to fulfill two conditions.”
“Go on!” Kenneth quickly said.
His life force had started draining even more quickly.
“First of all, make Sheila the chairwoman of Beldon Group, and give her 50 percent of the shares. She must have full authority over the company,” Ashton said.
“Never!” Jane shrieked, no longer able to keep her composure.
“Did you hear him, honey? Sheila is obviously conspiring with this man to steal the Beldon family’s assets! What a despicable pair they are. You mustn’t let them have their way!
“You worked your whole life to make Beldon Group what it is now. How can you give it to Sheila? It has to go to Bradley, of course. He’s your son! You can’t agree to this condition!”
