Ashton frowned at my question before giving in and nodded. He led me to a table and ordered some live food.
When the food was served, I looked at the fish and crabs on the table and turned to the waiter. “Can you get me a sharp knife and a spoon?”
The waiter looked at me with an odd expression and nodded before giving me what I wanted. I made sure the crab stayed in place before tearing off its legs and shell. Using the knife and spoon, I dug out the flesh bit by bit. The flesh of hairy crabs wasn’t that delicious, but it tasted alright.
To enjoy dissecting living creatures was rather extreme. However, Ashton didn’t stop me from torturing the sea creatures. Instead, he just watched as I continued eating my meal.
After a while, I grew tired and placed my cutlery down. I looked at Ashton and said, “Back then, I’ve always thought of sending the people I hate to prison to make them suffer for their sins. Now that I think about it, sending them to prison isn’t enough.”
Ashton looked at me and asked after a while. “What do you want to do?”
I pursed my lips. “Do you still have him locked up?”
“Yes.” The man nodded, and I was truly delighted when I heard his answer.
Smiling faintly, I said, “Ashton, you’ll let me do as I please, right?”
He pursed his lips and kept quiet while I smiled and didn’t ask him again.
Then, he got up and said, “Come. Let’s meet that person.”
Ashton drove me back to the villa in the suburbs. After he stopped the car, Joseph came out from the villa and looked at me with guilt written over his face. “Mrs. Fuller, how are you feeling?”
I smiled faintly and nodded. “I’m feeling great. Is he inside?”
Joseph hummed a reply before leading me and Ashton into the villa.
Dillan wasn’t a big shot. He only got rich because of his family assets as his family ran coal mines. Later on, his sister married a civil servant. That person was Derek. All these years, he used money to gain his status and power, and since things like this weren’t uncommon, so everyone got used to it.
