Chapter 899 Fair Warning
“You sure are brave. Threatening my husband and pointing a gun at me?” The corner of Ashlyn's lips curled upward
into a smirk as her gaze remained icy.
Ashlyn's chilling voice echoed in his ear. All of a sudden, a sharp pain shot from his neck, causing him to wail in
agony.
As he twisted in pain, he caught sight of Ashlyn's pretty face just inches away from his. Her clear eyes pierced into
his soul, exposing every bit of his fear.
W-What a scary woman. Not just her aura, but her fighting skills as well!
In just a few seconds, before the scarred man could even register what was going on, he found himself being held
captive by Ashlyn.
This woman... is terrifying!
“I-I'm just working for Franklin! I'm just a henchman, a lackey! Please let me go...”
The scarred man could not bear the pain coursing through his entire body. He squirmed and shrieked for help every
few seconds.
Whenever he lifted his eyes, he met Ashlyn's stone-cold gaze. Her beautiful black eyes were as dark as the depths

“Help! Help me!” he screamed in terror.
When the other men saw what was going on, they quickly charged toward Ashlyn in an attempt to surround her.
All traces of tenderness on Lucas' devilishly handsome face vanished as his gaze turned eerily hostile. “It's my
wife's right to love and protect me. How dare you lot try to cause her trouble?”
As he spoke, his expression grew darker every second.
Ashlyn had never failed to surprise him.
Even though they were some distance apart, he could feel her wrath directed toward Franklin. Her wrath was so
great that it was almost tangible. There was no doubt that she was burning with rage at Franklin's shameless
attempts to constantly humiliate and bully Lucas.
Lucas' gaze softened as he turned to look at Ashlyn. A sense of warmth flowed in his veins when he saw Ashlyn
defending him.
Just as he was dealing with the other men, a loud crack reverberated in the silence, catching everyone's attention.
Ashlyn had broken the scarred man's neck!
Terror filled the men's eyes as they exchanged glances.
T-This is—
Bang!
The sound of a gunshot jolted everyone back to their senses. They turned to look at Ashlyn, taken aback by how
calm she was.
Her face displayed zero hints of emotions.
It was as though she was not the one who pulled the trigger.
Following the gunshot, the man who was fighting with Lucas dropped heavily onto the ground, splashing mud
everywhere.
In the dark, Lucas suddenly sprang forward and grabbed one of the men by the neck. Glaring at him in displeasure,
he tightened his grip around the man's neck and twisted it.
With that, he detached the man's head from his trunk, leaving only one man standing.
The last man stared at the couple and trembled in fear as they approached him.
“Go back to whatever hole you come from and convey this message to Franklin: Fair warning. I, Lucas Nolan, will
always pay back whatever that's due, be it grace or revenge. Since you dare to touch my woman, don't blame me
when I turn against the Nolan family despite all those years of upbringing!”
The man paled in horror as he felt his knees turn to jelly. H-How terrifying! Absolutely horrifying! Has Lucas always
been pretending to be weak in front of Franklin? What gave Franklin the false impression that Lucas was weak, so
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmuch so that he dared to provoke Lucas? How could he treat Lucas so horribly in the past, causing Lucas to be who
he is today? Why...
Thoughts were racing inside the man's head. Doesn't Lucas have mania? Isn't he being locked up by Franklin? Why
does it seem that he has become a different person all of a sudden? He's even rebelling!
“The only way to be victorious in every battle is to catch your enemy off guard.” Ashlyn turned to look at Lucas and
lifted the corners of her lips.
Bang!
Blood gushed through the hole between the man's eyebrows as he collapse into his own pool of blood.
Lucas was stunned by what had just happened. “Honey, you're really—” He stopped himself as the corners of his
lips curved upward into a slight smile. “I've been foolish.”
For a moment, he was getting more and more impressed by Ashlyn.
Damn! She's hot.
Taking in the smile on Lucas' handsome face, Ashlyn disassembled the gun in her hand without hesitation and
tossed the parts into the rushing waters over the cliff.
“Lucas, your parents are not normal people. There's no need for you to show them mercy.” Ashlyn raised an
eyebrow.
“You're right, Honey. Lesson learned.” Lucas walked over to her. A touch of warmth filled his heart as he
remembered how Ashlyn had protected him a moment ago.
