CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 69: THAT’S RIGHT, WE’RE GETTING MARRIED

A line of people in front of the Shaw Family gate were tightly bound and neatly hung there. Their mouths were sealed with tape, unable to speak any words, only able to make muffled, desperate sounds.

And the one hanging in the middle was Rachel Shaw.

Damien Lancaster’s eyes instantly sharpened, his gaze lowering to see the man sitting there, casually playing with a whip.

It was him again.

Noah Scott.

Damien Lancaster strode in with his people, his voice following, "Put them down."

The people behind were about to take action.

"Who dares."

Noah Scott spoke languidly.

Two men, one standing, one sitting, one in a suit, the other carefree.

The moment their eyes met, an invisible tension exploded instantly.

Seeing Damien Lancaster at that moment, the exhausted Rachel Shaw saw her savior, struggling frantically, even though the rope was cutting into her skin, she felt no pain.

She wanted to shout out, but her mouth was taped shut, not a word could come out.

Yet she still tried to attract Damien Lancaster’s attention with her muffled sounds.

Damien Lancaster had come.

He came to save her.

Once she’s down, she must tell Damien Lancaster that it was Ivy Summers who instructed this man to humiliate them.

Rachel Shaw had never been hung like this in her life, subjected to such humiliation.

She wanted to kill Ivy Summers.

Otherwise, she could not quell the hatred in her heart.

With a sharp look from Damien Lancaster, Julian Jacobs immediately stepped forward with his people, but they were quickly blocked.

Yanis Stone raised a hand, eyebrow raised at Julian Jacobs, "Brother, don’t meddle."

Julian Jacobs remained expressionless, having been with Damien Lancaster for many years, he had somewhat absorbed Damien Lancaster’s aura, "Move!"

Yanis Stone remained unyielding.

Both sides were armed, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely dangerous.

Ivy Summers came in just as Damien Lancaster was present.

As expected, he came, but unexpectedly quickly.

There was a chill in Ivy Summers’ eyes; after instructing Nathan and Leo to stay in the car and not get out, she walked inside.

Seeing Ivy Summers at that moment, Damien Lancaster seemed to understand something immediately.

Ivy Summers was involved in this too.

Right, if it weren’t concerning Ivy Summers, this man wouldn’t have bothered.

Damien Lancaster pressed his thin lips, staring at her.

A few meters away, Ivy Summers already felt the chill emanating from Damien Lancaster.

Yet Ivy Summers was not afraid, walking closer, "Quite lively."

Damien Lancaster’s handsome face was a mask of frost, "You even bothered to come stop him?"

Ivy Summers looked up, her gaze sweeping over the people hanging there.

Seeing Ivy Summers, Rachel Shaw struggled more violently.

Her current state must be pathetic, and Ivy Summers was here to laugh at her, definitely.

This bitch.

Bitch!

She would kill her sooner or later.

"Mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm mmm..."

Rachel Shaw’s eyes were fixed on Ivy Summers, unable to hear what she was saying, but Ivy Summers thought, she must be thinking: Ivy Summers, I’m going to kill you.

"Heh."

Ivy Summers lowered her head and laughed disdainfully.

She had no intention to be enemies with Rachel Shaw; she wanted to marry into the Lancaster Family, she gave way through divorce.

What more did she want?

Did she also want her and her children to disappear?

The Lancaster Family framed her once, kidnapped Sophie once, once threatened her with a knife pointed at Sophie, sent people to retaliate at her house once...

Rachel Shaw was pushing her to the limit.

So, why should Ivy Summers hold back?

Ivy Summers slowly nodded, looked back at the man sitting leisurely, "What you’re doing is indeed too much."

The man raised an eyebrow, "So you came to stop me?"

Ivy Summers looked at the whip on the ground, picked it up slowly, walked over, under Rachel Shaw’s fearful gaze, lightly raised her thin eyebrows, lifted the whip, and struck down hard.

Listening to Rachel Shaw’s painful muffled sounds.

It was truly satisfying.

Being the villain felt so good.

"Ivy Summers!"

Damien Lancaster shouted in fury.

Right after, an arm reached out from the side, forcefully stopping Ivy Summers.

Ivy Summers turned her head, seeing Damien Lancaster appear beside her, she fearlessly raised her eyes, meeting his gaze.

Stop?

No.

Why should she stop?

Stopping bad deeds is something good people do.

And tonight, Ivy Summers did not want to be the good person.

Staring at Damien Lancaster, Ivy Summers slowly spoke the second half of her sentence, "And I, am even worse."

Noah Scott was excessive.

And she was even more excessive.

Noah Scott smirked, "As expected of the woman I fancy."

"Do you people even respect the law?" Damien Lancaster stared at Ivy Summers, his voice carrying a hint of sternness, his grip on her wrist tightening as if he wanted to break her arm.

Ivy Summers was fearless, "Yes, but it depends on who. For people like you who disregard the law, we naturally cannot be too honest, otherwise we would only be the ones bullied, right?"

Tonight’s events taught Ivy Summers that one couldn’t be too honest, too easy to bully, otherwise, she couldn’t protect herself, and those around her would also be bullied.

Ivy Summers forcefully shook off Damien Lancaster’s hand, "Does it hurt? If it hurts, keep her in check, don’t let her repeatedly cause me trouble."

At this moment, the tape fell from Rachel Shaw’s mouth, and she desperately shouted at Damien Lancaster, "Damien, save me, save me, they want to kill me, I don’t know what I did wrong, why? Why treat me like this, why treat my parents this way?"

Ivy Summers, you dislike me, bully me, that’s alright, but why take it out on my parents?"

Rachel Shaw loudly accused Ivy Summers.

She continued, "Damien, tonight they drove into my home, wreaked havoc on my family, I...I..."

Rachel Shaw cried brokenly.

Damien Lancaster, when in the company, only heard that something happened to the Shaw Family, never expected to arrive and see such a scene.

Indeed, excessive arrogance.

This kind of arrogant means also made it clear that the man in front of him was certainly not just a simple auction house owner.

"Why do you insist on opposing her?" Damien Lancaster gritted his teeth, questioning Ivy Summers.

Ivy Summers curled her lips, "Then why don’t you ask her why she insists on courting death at my place?"

"What did she do again? The police have investigated Sophie’s matter clearly, what more do you want? You already hurt her once in the hospital, I let that go, Ivy Summers, don’t you think you are going too far?"

"So? Do you detest me? If you detest me, then divorce me, Damien Lancaster, I didn’t want to be with you in the first place, you like her, then divorce me and be with her."

Damien Lancaster’s gaze darkened deeply, the chill around him seemingly more terrifying than before, even Ivy Summers couldn’t help but feel a cold shiver down her spine.

But she didn’t flinch, just continued to stare at Damien Lancaster.

"If you don’t divorce me, our three-person fight and quarrel will be endless, just like what you see now, there will be much more to come."

Ivy Summers just wanted a divorce, just wanted to leave with her children.

Just a few days since returning, so many things have happened.

It was really enough.

"Do you want a divorce so much because of that man, is it?" Damien Lancaster’s gaze suddenly shifted to Noah Scott.

He could tell, their relationship was not simple.

The commotion tonight, his grand gesture defending her, further proved the two were far more than just employer and subordinate.

In Damien Lancaster’s view, Ivy Summers’s desire for divorce was because another man had appeared by her side, eager to be with him, so she wanted a divorce.

Noah Scott listened, initially not wanting to get involved in Ivy Summers’s personal matters.

But since it involved him now, he couldn’t help but make a statement.

Noah Scott walked to Ivy Summers’s side, naturally wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "That’s right, we’re getting married, so please stay far away from my future wife!"

Damien Lancaster’s gaze fell on the hand on Ivy Summers’s shoulder, his eyes strikingly sharp, and then slowly shifted to Ivy Summers, his voice seeming to suppress his anger, "Is what he said true?"
