I didn’t take the bait, but I also refused to leave. Standing by the road, I waited for John’s men to arrive and drag Ashton back home.
Two minutes later, the sound of tables and chairs smashing sounded inside the club, and some staff began pleading for mercy.
“Mr. Fuller, please spare Wilson’s life. He knows his mistake!”
“Stop it! He’ll die if this goes on. Please…”
“We prepared two accounts to protect Ms. Summer’s club. She’s your daughter! How could you…”
Oh, no!
Dread rose in my heart as I scurried in frantically.
In the dim hall, the only light was shining on the couch that Nathaniel and Rebecca had occupied. On the other side, Wilson Lipward and another male employee had collapsed on the ground, their faces swollen and bruised. Ashton’s shiny leather shoes right beside them caught my attention.
Hearing the noise at the entrance, Ashton turned to glance at me briefly before he gave Wilson another kick.
As his kick landed on Wilson’s jaw, the latter rolled over and hit the bar counter behind him. He immediately lost consciousness.
“Ashton, what are you doing?” I demanded.
Alas, Ashton showed no signs of stopping. He grabbed an empty wine bottle and headed for the other male employee.
“No, Mr. Fuller. Please, don’t do this to me!”
“Stop it!”
Crash!
