A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

pter 2038 Two Sc*mbags! Chapter 2038 Ashton helped the injured Maxwell to the checkpoint at the hunting grounds, dragging the dead Arctic wolf behind them. It was a safe house set up for players to rest, as well as a scoring station for the game.

"Maxwell, you're hurt pretty badly. Once we reach the safe house, you should drop out of the game," said Ashton coldly as they approached the building. Maxwell, however, simply smiled. With his experience and keen observation, he could tell that Ashton's attitude toward him had softened. Though she still spoke harshly, it was clear her demeanor was different from before.

"Ash, I'm not quitting. This might be my only chance to relive the past with you. Even if I die here, I want to spend this twith you," Maxwell replied, his words making Ashton feel momentarily drained of energy. But before she 1711 could respond, a familiar, carefree voice interrupted.

Ms. Summerton, what's going on? Have you suddenly turned soft and decided to save this sc*mbog?" 90% Ashton turned to see Nathan flanked by two women. For a moment, she tensed, but then, seeing Nathan's playful expression, she retorted, "Who in the world could out-sc*mbag than you, Mr. Chapman? You've even managed to pick up women on the hunting grounds!" Haha... I admit, no one can outdowhen it comes to being a playboy. But when it comes to being a sc*mbag? Maxwell's gotbeat by just a bit. I'll give him that!" Nathan laughed, entirely unbothered by being called out for his behavior. He knew who exactly he was-someone who had dated so many women he'd lost count.

Chapter 2038 Two Sc*mbags! Ashton rolled her eyes. As much as Maxwell had hurt her in the past, standing next to Nathan made Maxwell seem less of a sc*mbag by comparison.

Maxwell merely smiled dismissively, refusing to engage in a debate with Nathan. This restraint was a sign of his maturity compared to Nathan's more flamboyant nature.

"Mr. Chapman, who is this woman?" one of the ladies accompanying Nathan sneered at Ashton, her tone full of hostility. She was a daughter of the Ashford family, a prominent nin Zovince's elite circles, and had long dreamed of marrying into the Chapman family. Now that she had a chance to be close to Nathan, she wasn't about to let another woman get in her way.

The other woman was her best friend, another socialite from Zovince. The two had even plotted to find a secluded spot in the snowy wilderness to offer 5741 Chapter 2038 Two Sc*mbags! Nathan a "double delight." "Just swoman from the Summerton family in Nuthana. I'm planning to hake her my apprentice," Nathan boasted, enjoying the moment. "Ms. Summerton, I've already scored a big hunt today. I'm ahead of you! If you continue flirting with this sc*mbag, you'll fall behind, and soon enough, you'll be bowing toand callingmaster!" Ashton scoffed, rolling her eyes. "It's still too early to tell who gets the last laugh." Their playful banter didn't sit well with Maxwell. He knew Nathan's reputation for seducing women wherever he went. He couldn't help but wonder if Nathan had designs on Ashton too. Worse, he didn't know about Nathan's connection to Emmanuel and suspected that Nathan, like himself, might be 4711 Chapter 2038 Two Scambags! 11 trying to use Ashton to get his hands on the Dragon Tome. If Nathan posed a threat to his plans, Maxwell knew he'd have to eliminate him quietly.

Haha, well, I'm off. You two keep up your little love-hate gwith this sc*mbag!" Nathan said, laughing without restraint. Before leaving, he shot Maxwell a knowing glance.

As fellow members of Zovince's Four Geniuses, the two men knew each other's true natures all too well. They held a mutual disdain for each other. Maxwell looked down on Nathan for being shallow, believing that without his privileged background, Nathan wouldn't deserve the title of one of Zovince's elites. On the other hand, Nathan despised Maxwell for being two-faced, playing the perfect gentleman in public while scheming in the shadows. He had no respect for men like Maxwell.

Wed, 11 DEC Chapter 2039 Two Sembags! Of course, Nathan had no noble intentions either. He had already warned Ashton, and if she was foolish enough to fall for Maxwell's act again, he wouldn't feel responsible for what happened next.

After registering their kill, Ashton was ready to leave the safe house and continue hunting.

"Lethelp you, Ash!" Maxwell, still bandaged from his injuries, insisted on accompanying her.

"You're injured. Why are you even thinking of coming along?" Ashton snapped, her irritation clear.

Just as Maxwell had predicted, her tone remained cold-part of her natural demeanor-but her eyes revealed concern. She wasn't entirely indifferent to him anymore.

6/11 Chapter 2038 Two Sc'mbags! "Ash, I told you, from this moment on, I don't want to be apart from you," Maxwell said, suddenly grabbing Ashton's hand tightly, Ashton struggled for a moment, trying to free her hand. When she couldn't, she stopped resisting altogether. "Let's go together and take down the 1300-pound beast. We'll win this hunt, and everyone will admire us as the perfect couple in the snowy wilderness!" Maxwell said with a playful smile.

"Us? And what about your wife?" Ashton's cold tone showed she wasn't easily swept up in his romantic words. "I'll divorce her and marry you!" Maxwell declared with conviction. "I've always loved you, and my marriage with Chiara was purely for politics. I'm ready to 7/11 Chapter 2058 Two Sc*mbagel follow my heart now, I won't be my family's puppet anymore!" * 65% Ashton couldn't help but feel moved by his words. She breathed deeply, her heath visible in the cold air. "That's going to cause you a lot of trouble." "I don't care!" Maxwell replied passionately. "For the chance to be with you, I'd face death itself! What's a little trouble compared to that?" Ashton sighed deeply. She had admired many men in her life, but there were only two she had ever truly loved. Since Emmanuel was entirely devoted to Mackenzie, leaving no space for any other woman, Ashton had long given up on pursuing him. Now, with Maxwell opening his heart to her, her mind was starting to race.

"Oh, and here," Maxwell said, pulling out a ring from his bag. "This ring is called 8711 65% Chapter 2038 Two Sembags! Snow Blossom. It's said to bring good luck. On this snowy night, I'm giving it to the woman I love most, you, Ashton,"
