My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 545

Chapter 545: Calm Down, Satan!

"Ah!" Red raised his head. "She’s getting up."

Khan nodded. "Time to go."

Both men straightened.

They had simply been waiting for Ashley to finish her conversation with June. From where they stood, they watched her say a few more things to him before turning and walking away.

Red took a step forward, ready to meet her halfway, only to pause when Ashley suddenly stopped.

Khan narrowed his eyes, studying her from a distance.

"She stopped," he said.

"Uh-huh." Red rocked his head. "She did."

He shook his head. "This doesn’t look good."

"Don’t turn around," Khan blurted out. "Madam, don’t—"

Too late.

Ashley turned around and faced June.

Even from this distance, they could feel the atmosphere around their boss change significantly.

Whatever June had said, neither man needed to hear the details to know it wasn’t good.

"Don’t walk back," Red muttered, feeling like he was watching a character in a movie about to make the worst possible decision. "Don’t... Just walk away..."

Ashley took a step toward June, and Red’s face twisted.

"Shit. She’s walking back."

Khan and Red didn’t waste another second.

They had no idea what June had said to make Ashley turn around, but they knew one thing—

They didn’t want their boss murdering someone in broad daylight.

Unfortunately, compared to Ashley’s distance from June and their distance from her, there was no chance they could reach her in time.

One second later, Ashley reached June.

She stomped one foot forward and drove her fist straight into his gut.

"Ohhh..." Khan stopped mid-step and winced.

Even from this distance, they could almost hear June’s ribs crack.

Worse, judging by Ashley’s stance... she wasn’t done.

"Shit—" Red breathed out before breaking into a run.

June hunched over as Ashley’s fist buried itself in his stomach, all the air violently knocked out of his lungs.

But Ashley didn’t let the momentum die.

Still in position, she shifted her weight and raised one leg as her upper body tilted back.

Then, she spun.

Her leg cut through the air in a perfect arc. And her foot slammed straight into the side of June’s head.

"Ack—!"

June didn’t even understand what happened.

One second, he couldn’t breathe.

The next, something crashed into the side of his face.

Before the pain could even register, he caught the briefest glimpse of something white flying out of his mouth.

A tooth.

Then everything went black.

"Motherfucker," Ashley huffed, taking another step toward his unconscious body. "Come here—"

"Whoa, whoa!" Red caught one of her arms while Khan grabbed the other. "Calm down, Satan!"

"Madam," Khan said firmly, "whatever he said, it is not a reason to murder someone in broad daylight."

"No." Ashley forced another step forward despite both men holding her back. "He’s asking for it. Let him have it."

"Stop it..." Red winced, pulling harder. "Khan, don’t let her touch him. Just drag her back."

Khan tightened his grip. "Madam, did you gain weight?"

Ashley stopped completely. Slowly, she turned her head toward him.

Red’s eyes widened.

"Excuse me?" Ashley asked.

At the exact same time, Red blurted out, "You stupid?"

Minutes later...

"Ugh..."

June groaned as his eyes fluttered open. His hand instinctively went to his jaw.

"Aw..."

Blood stained the corner of his mouth.

He ran his tongue along his teeth, only to pause when it slipped into an unfamiliar gap.

His eyes widened. "What the—ow!"

He tried to sit upright, but a sharp pain immediately shot through his ribs.

June hissed and slowly pulled himself up. Only then did he realize he was lying on the same bench from earlier.

A newspaper slid off his face and landed on his lap.

His expression twisted.

Those bastards had covered his face with a newspaper and left him there like some drunk sleeping in the park.

"That bitch," he groaned, touching the side of his face. "She really kicked me in the fucking face."
