However, Wendell's action was quicker. He opened the box and revealed the gift inside.

It was a delicate and gorgeous mechanical clock. With just one look, one could tell that it was worth quite a bit.

However, everyone knew the meaning behind gifting someone a clock for their birthday.

In Chinese, the word 'gifting a clock' sounded similar to sending someone to their death.

It was clear that his gift for Yenora wasn't sincere, but it was him cursing her to die an early death.

Knowing his vicious intent, Ashley and Yenora's faces sank.

"Wendell, you've gone too far!" Ashley glared at him.

He had a look of dissatisfaction on his face. "Miss Ashley, what are you talking about? Are you not satisfied with this gift? If that's the problem, then should I get one that's more expensive and send it to the Zhou family house instead?"

"Take back your words, Wendell! I demand an apology!" She gritted her teeth and spat.

"Apologize? I gave you a gift from the bottom of my heart, but you are asking me for an apology? How does this make sense?" He spread out his hands and taunted.

She muttered in a low, serious tone, "Wendell, don't pretend to be stupid. If you don't apologize, there's no way you are leaving this hotel."

As they were talking, she waved her hand, and the security guards of the hotel surrounded them.

Seeing this, the smile on his face slowly dissipated, and his face grew serious. "Are you declaring a war with me, Miss Ashley?"

"If you don't apologize, I'll beat you until you do!" She shouted.

"In that case, I'll play along." Wendell snorted and then waved his hand. "Wolfen, it's your turn to shine."

In an instant, a young man with long hair and scarlet eyes walked out with a sneer.

At the same time, Ashley was equally as furious. Disregarding everything, she barked her orders, "Beat him till he's half-dead."

The security guards and bodyguards of the Zhou family were prepared to rush up and attack.

However, at this time, Fade, who stood behind them, stepped forward and came to Yenora's side. He reminded her, "Don't let them do anything. They are of no match to Wolfen."

"Hmm..." She was a little confused, but she immediately nodded and was about to ask the security guards and bodyguards to retreat. "Guys, stop..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Ashley glared at Fade and snapped, "What are you doing? How dare you say that? This is Zhou family business, it has nothing to do with you."

His voice was flat and calm as he said, "I'm only speaking the truth. Your people are no match for the other party. If you proceed, you are just like a moth prancing towards a flame. You won't inflict any damage except onto yourselves."

"Ashley, Brother Chen won't lie to me. Ask them to retreat!" Yenora was the one with a soft heart. Hearing Fade's words, she immediately became worried for the safety of their guards.

On the contrary, her words further angered Ashley. "What are you talking about? These men are the elite martial artists of our family. What's your intention, trying to ruin our confidence?" "You idiot!" Fade took a look at her, snorted, and retreated without saying anything else.

"How dare you call me an idiot? You..." She was furious. She raised her hand and was prepared to slap him across the face.

However, just as her palm was about to touch his cheek, she felt a cold pressure coming towards her, causing her body to turn stiff, and she was unable to move.

At the same time, a terrifying chill rose from the bottom of her heart, and her entire body trembled.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Fade flashed an icy glare at her.

Ashley felt the horrible pressure on her disintegrate. Cold sweat dribbled down her face and her legs felt weak, causing her to nearly crumble onto the ground. Not daring to look him in the eye, she looked away from him and turned to the center of the hall.

More than 20 guards of the Zhou family rushed over.

From Wendell's side, he had only sent one man, and that was the long-haired man with scarlet eyes.

Although Wolfen was alone, the final outcome of the battle exceeded everyone's expectations.

The twenty or so guards from the Zhou family were almost immediately defeated by one strike from Wolfen. Almost none of them even had the chance to fight back.

After a series of clashes, in less than five minutes, more than 20 of the guards from the Zhou family were laying on the ground.

On the other hand, Wolfen stood upright, totally unscathed. The man wasn't even shaken.

With a proud look, Wendell said with a smile, "Miss Ashley, if you want me to apologize, then these men aren't enough!"

"Wendell, you..." She was livid, but no words left her mouth.

"Me? What about me?" Seeing this, Wendell grew even more cocky, and then he taunted, "Since you have nothing else to say, then I'll leave."

"By the way, don't forget to send me an invite for Miss Yenora's next birthday. I promise I'll send you a bigger and prettier clock."

"Haha!"

"Wolfen, let's go!"

Cackling, Wendell took a few steps forward and was prepared to leave.

Seeing how obstinate he was behaving, Ashley held back the urge to rush forward herself and beat him up with her bare hands.. However, she knew that she was no match for him.

Seeing Wendell walking further and

further, she suddenly thought of something. Turning her head, she looked at a young man, and said, "Mr Chai, may I trouble you to help me with this once?" FindNovel.net

"Of course, you'll be compensated for this."

Her words made everyone turn to look at this young man she was talking to.

Fade looked over and found that the person she was referring to was the young man who came to the party with her.

Yenora explained to Fade in a low voice, "He's Gaubert Chai. He's a disciple of Holmer Chai, a martial arts master whom our family hired recently."

Hearing this, Fade understood and gently nodded his head.

At this moment, hearing Ashley's words, Gaubert narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly, "My master doesn't allow me to fight without a reason Today, I'm only here to

attend Yenora's birthday party. If I do

anything, I'm afraid..."

"Mr. Chai, what do you want? As long as you say it, I will do my best to give it to you," Ashley said in a hurry.

Upon hearing her words, Gaubert

smiled. His eyes moved slightly and

his gaze fell onto Yenora. "Miss Yenora is gentle and beautiful. She's

the first woman I've set my eye's

on

ever since leaving the mountain. If she's willing to spend a night with me, I..."

Hearing this, Yenora's face flashed with horror.

Although she was young, she knew what he meant by spending a night with him.

She instinctively took two steps back and shook her head. "I won't..."

However, Ashley's expression darkened. She paused for two seconds and then said, "It would be her honor to spend a wonderful night with you. Consider your request granted!" "Ashley, you can't..." Yenora became anxious.

"Don't say anything, I'm doing this for your own good," Ashley cut her off.
