Chapter 957
Ashton’s resolve hardened. He wasn’t going to stand by and watch his family be taken from him again.
Moreover, this threat was worse than anything that had come before. The Drake family guarded their bloodline with absolute ruthlessness. If they found him, they would kill him, and nothing would stop them.
The moment he thought of his family and his daughter, his expression turned cold, and something dangerous settled in his eyes. He would never let anyone harm them.
“I must win over Miranda, the chosen maiden. There isn’t much time left. I have to break into the otherworldly realm as soon as possible, and I need to expand my power base.”
With his mind made up, Ashton picked up his pace and headed toward the Skybound Club on Linton Island.
“Ashton, over here.”
Miranda had already arrived. She smiled when she saw him and waved him over.
He walked toward her.
Miranda was dressed in a light blue floral dress that left her shoulders bare, her skin smooth and unblemished. Her dark hair fell loosely over her shoulders, and a pair of crystal heels accentuated her long, slender legs. Her figure was striking, balanced, and confident, drawing attention without trying.
Another woman stood beside her in black stockings and heels. Her eyes were sharp and bright as she studied Ashton with curiosity.
“Miranda, is this your blind date?” the woman asked. “Not bad. He’s actually pretty handsome and unlike the other guys. He’s got his own vibe.”
“Quinn, cut it out,” Miranda said, then turned to Ashton. “This is my best friend, Quinn Callahan.”
“Nice to meet you,” he said.
“Hi,” Quinn replied. “So, you’ve got your eye on Miranda? Just so you know, she’s not easy to win over. If you don’t have what it takes, you won’t stand a chance.”
“Have you ever heard about Linton Island’s criminal underworld? Do you know what’s under all that glamour? It’s violence and blood. But do you really know what her status is?”
