111: Chapter 113: Who Are You, Really?!

“Aria Rowlett, do you think you can act recklessly just because you’re a woman?

Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to hit a woman?” Aria had been pointing at David’s nose and cursing him, causing his anger to flare up.

His icy gaze fell on her like a razor-sharp knife.

“Heh, you wouldn’t dare!”

Aria was a classic bully showing off the power of Ashton Heath.

She pointed at him and said, “My heartthrob is here.

If you dare to touch me, I’m sure Ashton will have someone beat you up until you lose your teeth.”

For the sake of Joanna’s friendship, Ashton played along.

He wrapped his arm around Joanna and said coldly, “Touch someone in front of me?

Mr.

David, does the Benington Group want to imitate the Hook Group and experience bankruptcy overnight?”

Ashton’s casual remark caused David’s face to change in an instant.

He stared in disbelief: “The Hook Group’s bankruptcy…

was it you…”

Ashton nonchalantly said, “The Hook Group lasted 18 hours before declaring bankruptcy.

With the strength of the Benington family, I suppose you could last a few hours longer.”

David’s face turned even paler.

Of course, he knew about the Hook Group’s overnight bankruptcy.

It had caused quite a stir.

A once-thriving listed company vanished overnight.

It made others in the industry feel scared.

Even the Benington family had secretly investigated the reason but found nothing.

David never thought that the person who bankrupted the Hook Group overnight would be standing right in front of him.

“Who on earth are you?!” David asked, shocked.

Just imagining the immense financial power of someone who could manipulate Hook Group’s stock market overnight and cause the company to go bankrupt was beyond belief.

Even the Benington family did not have such power.

Who exactly was this man?

If he was someone truly extraordinary, why did he look so unfamiliar?

David thought he knew all the powerful figures in Closia.

Ashton looked down at David like an ant beneath his feet, his eyes silent and disdainful: “You don’t need to know who I am.

But you must be clear about one thing: Joanna is my woman, and any man who dares to covet her is courting death.”

“I don’t care what your relationship with her was in the past, but since you’ve separated, her future life has nothing to do with you.

If I find out you’re harassing her, I’ll make the Benington family fall even faster than the Hook Group.”

With that, he withdrew his gaze and didn’t bother to look at David anymore.

If it weren’t for the fact that David was Joanna’s ex-fiance, someone of his status wouldn’t even be qualified to talk to Ashton.

The Benington family might be a noble family in the eyes of others.

But in the eyes of the Heath family, they were just insignificant lackeys.

“Baby, let’s go,”

Ashton wrapped his arm around Joanna and walked past David.

David’s bodyguards wanted to stop them but just as they were about to act, they heard a flurry of footsteps approaching.

A banquet hall manager led a group of security guards over, rushing hurriedly.

“Who’s causing trouble here?

Get them out immediately!”

The manager saw David’s bodyguards and immediately said coldly, “You’ve got some nerve, causing trouble in the banquet hall.

Don’t you know where this is?

Get these people out of here now!”

The security guards received the order and immediately went to oust the culprits.

David had only brought four bodyguards with him.
