Chapter 102 Helen Wants to Die
Get Bonus
Joseph was preparing to take Deborah away, and Ashton acted unusually and did not try to stop him. Instead, he got up and went to the French windows to make a phone call with Rodger.
He wanted to confirm how accurate the news of Deborah having liver cancer was.
After Rodger conducted his investigation and provided Ashton with a definite response, it was confirmed that Deborah had liver cancer.
Her time was running out, and finding a suitable liver was an extremely difficult task.
If one was not found, there would be no other options.
Ashton stood in front of the French window, not knowing when Rodger had finished speaking or when he hung up the phone.
He sat on the couch in a daze, not even reacting when Joseph completed the paperwork and took Deborah
away on a gurney.
Because Ashton had requested that Joseph take Deborah away for a period of time, Jeff naturally did not object.
Lydia, however, was concerned about Deborah, and with red eyes, she wanted to go with them. Jeff then spoke up to stop her, saying.
“You cannot leave. Mr. Mullen said that you are Mrs. Mullen’s mother and must stay with him so that Mrs.
Mullen can leave for a while.”
Joseph retorted in a cold tone, “Whether it is Deborah or her mother, Ashton has no right to interfere with their personal freedom. If you stop them, should I call the police, or do you want me to bring more people?”
He gestured towards the door, and immediately four or five bodyguards came in.
They faced off against the several bodyguards that Jeff had brought in.
Jeff said in a low voice, “Mr. Black, Mr. Mullen has already conceded and allowed you to take Mrs. Mullen
away for a while.
“Mrs. Mullen is, after all, Mr. Mullen’s wife. Her mother can stay with him and be taken care of by Mr.
Mullen’s maids. There is nothing inappropriate about this.”
Joseph was about to say something angrily when Shawn stepped forward and whispered, “Mr. Black, let’s just leave it at that for now. People sent by Mullen Manor are still watching over you.”
Gerald had just had a heated argument with Robert, and if there was any more commotion here, it might invite interference from the Black family’s elders, causing even more trouble.
Joseph didn’t want Lydia to stay with Ashton. After all, she was Deborah’s mother, and he was afraid that Ashton might give her a hard time.

Lydia spoke up, “I’m fine. I’ll just stay here. Mr. Black, please don’t worry. Nothing will happen. Please take good care of my daughter.”
Ashton still sat by the French window, lost in disbelief after learning that Deborah had a terminal illness, paying no attention to the dispute at the door.
In the end, Lydia stayed there.
Joseph took Deborah and left.
Ashton sat by the window, and it wasn’t until night fell outside that he snapped out of his trance.
He turned around and found only Jeff standing behind him.
Ashton looked at the empty ward and, after a long pause, asked, “Did they leave?”
Jeff replied, “Yes. After you called the doctor this afternoon, Mr. Black took Mrs. Mullen away.”
Observing Ashton’s silence, Jeff spoke cautiously after a while, “Hector has asked if you could visit Mullen
Manor. What do you think?”
Ashton responded evasively, “Go and find a suitable liver for Deborah at all costs. Also, keep an eye on Joseph
and make sure he doesn’t take Deborah anywhere.”
Jeff nodded and repeated, “Understood.”
Jeff repeated, “Hector said that you need to visit Mullen Manor.”
Jeff felt a bit nervous as he sensed Ashton could explode at any moment.
Surprisingly, Ashton remained calm and collected. “I won’t be going to Mullen Manor anymore. Tell Grandpa that if there is a next time, he will no longer have a grandson. He can deal with the consequences himself.”
Jeff murmured in response. Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he still would not dare to convey this
message.
Ashton stood up and headed towards the door. “Have someone bring Helen to Bauer Manor and call all the members of the Bauer family back. I will reunite them tonight.”
When Ashton drove to Bauer Manor, the bodyguards had already taken Devon and Kinsley back to the house and dumped them in the living room.
Jeff arrived later with Helen, who was still at the Mullen family’s Mullen Manor. Hector tried to stop them,
and Jeff had to work hard to get Helen out.
However, Helen had no strength left in her when Jeff brought her into the living room. Her body was soaked in blood, and not a single piece of good flesh remained.
The Bauer Manor was only purchased four years ago.
It had five luxurious levels.

In those years, Devon relied on Ashton to expand the business and made a lot of money.
A mere luxury villa was not even worth mentioning.
Ashton reminisced about the night when Deborah took Helen to the hospital rooftop in a moment of despair.
It was also on the fifth floor where she pushed Helen off the edge.
Later, Deborah found out that Helen had miraculously survived, and Ashton still remembered the look of
incredulous pain on her face.
At that time, Deborah sarcastically laughed and said, “Helen fell from the fifth floor and still managed to
survive. It’s a miracle.”
Thinking back on these events, Ashton looked down at Helen on the ground and said, “I want to try again. Does God really exist? Can someone survive falling from the fifth floor again?”
Kinsley was so scared that her face turned pale, and she almost screamed. “Ashton, please spare my daughter. She has loved you for so many years. Please, I beg you!
“It’s all my fault, and everything bad she did was because I ordered her to. Come at me, but please spare my daughter!”
Ashton ordered the security guards to take the entire Bauer family to the rooftop on the fifth floor.
Once they reached the rooftop, Ashton turned to Kinsley and said, “It’s all your fault? If you want to take the blame for your daughter, then tell me the truth. Let’s see if I believe you.”
Helen spoke anxiously, “I am responsible for my own actions, and my mother doesn’t know anything! Ashton, if you hate me so much, come after me alone and kill me. I’m not afraid, anyway.”
Helen had already lost her legs, and her hands were now severely injured. Her face was also disfigured from the beating.
Living was no longer as satisfying for her as dying would be.
