Chapter 1718 I Shall Destroy You
I was in a daze when Nathaniel stepped out and acted like he was God again. “Are you already upset?
Or did you forget Ashton had always been a ruthless figure? Like father, like daughter. How will she
convince others of her leadership if she didn’t punish her disloyal subordinates?”
I couldn’t help but snicker out loud. Did he seriously think his warped logic could replace the criteria for
judging good from evil in our world?
“If they did something wrong, she could discipline or fire them. However, harming someone’s life is
against the law. Ashton had never once resorted to that to gain someone’s respect. Even if he did, it
must’ve been to punish an evil and despicable person. Do you think I can’t tell that you arranged for me
to witness this scene? You’re the culprit!”
Nathaniel did everything to destroy my love and respect for Ashton. He wanted Ashton to end up living in

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed, but there was no way I’d give up. I believed Ashton was upset
at being forced to act this way. If I lost trust in him, he’d give up on himself for real.
Now, the only thing I could do was to make it up for his mistake.
I shall offer generous compensation to Wilson and this unnamed young man in my arms, both mentally
and financially. Perhaps that would ease our guilt.
“Smart girl. No wonder Ashton adores you.” Nathaniel admitted to his doing honestly. He gazed at me,
his eyes flickering with menace. “Oh, my dear great lawyer, after handling so many cases, don’t you
know it doesn’t matter who is the mastermind? The one committing the crime is the most important
person. So what if I told him to do that? Ashton could’ve done it willingly.”
He added, “He should be thanking me for giving him the perfect chance to unleash the beast within him.
Holding his feelings back isn’t a good thing. You’d be upset if he gets sick, right?”
Nathaniel lowered his body and hovered right above me. His eyes glinted dangerously as he said,
“Yesterday, you weren’t honest enough, so I showed you how it feels like to get personally involved. Are
you still going to insist that you love him?”
Clenching my jaw, I didn’t bother hiding my distaste and anger at him. What a psycho! He delights in
destroying others’ happiness!
“Yes, I love him!” I declared in a loud voice so everyone in the club could hear me. “Ashton Fuller, you’re
the only man I’ll ever love in this lifetime!”
I was hoping Ashton could hear my declaration, even though I wasn’t sure if he could hear it. However, I
shot a proud look at Nathaniel like I had won the battle.
It was pretty hard to win mental warfare. Otherwise, Nathaniel wouldn’t have spent so much time trying
to persuade me to change my mind.
At my words, Nathaniel straightened his back and returned to his expressionless self. He stared ahead

Ashton. I wonder how much time you are willing to spend in defending him,” he mused.
“You’ll never succeed!” I announced and grounded my jaw.
Nathaniel was more patient than I had imagined. It was hard, but not entirely impossible, to defeat
someone like him. I had to be more patient than him and wait until he exposed his Achilles’ heel. That
would be the perfect chance to crush him.
Before that, I had to confirm if Ashton and Summer were on the same page as me.
I wasn’t good at hiding my real emotions compared to them. Perhaps that was why they chose to take
action without informing me.
Nathaniel could’ve been right. He could’ve destroyed Ashton’s willpower successfully and brainwashed
him with his twisted logic and distorted ideas. If that were true, things would turn complicated. I had no
chance against two extremely intelligent men.
