Chapter 405

Chapter 405 Only Death Could Part Them

Beathan looked into her cold eyes and smiled calmly. "Are you angry? You still care about me. We were together for seven years, and I know you better than anyone. If you didn't care, you wouldn't react so strongly to my touch."

His tone softened. "Ashley, I've broken up with her. Let's start over."

Ashley showed no emotion. "Even though Elias and I didn't have a wedding, many people know we're married. What's the matter? Haven't you heard, Mr. Collins?"

Beathan couldn't believe she had no feelings left after seven years together. He said sternly, "Ashley, I'm giving you a chance."

Before Ashley could respond, Elias suddenly appeared and kicked Beathan. "How dare you flirt with my wife!"

Beathan couldn't dodge in time, and a footprint marred his black suit.

Beathan looked up with his face still quite calm and collected. "Elias, don't think I don't know why you married Ashley. She's your wife, you say? Are you declaring your territory? She called me her husband when you were just a college kid."

Beathan smirked after recalling something. "Interesting. When did you start having feelings for Ashley? No wonder you were so hostile when I visited you at university. You pervert, she's your aunt."

Elias was usually carefree and would rarely show a nasty look. He cursed and punched Beathan again.

Beathan didn't give in to him this time. The two men then fought fist-to-fist in the hallway of the clubhouse. Ashley called out. "Elias."

Elias didn't stop, and she wasn't interested in breaking up the fight between two grown men. She wasn't going to risk getting hit. Since he wouldn't listen to her, Ashley didn't bother and turned to leave. They could continue to fight if they wanted to.

Elias saw Ashley leave and didn't want to keep fighting Beathan. He was a better fighter than Beathan at the end of the day. He grabbed him by the collar and slammed him against the wall with a bratty and sinister look.

"Beathan, I'll be honest. I liked her long before you knew. So what? She's my rightful wife now!"

Beathan struggled to keep his composed demeanor at this point. "Don't many couples divorce each year? My colleagues handle dozens of such cases daily."

"Don't worry. With her, it'll only be death that parts us. If you show up again, I won't mind breaking the law." Elias shoved him away.

Then he turned and followed Ashley.

Beathan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth while his expression went cold.

Ashley hailed a taxi at the clubhouse's entrance. Just as she got into the car, before she could even close the door, Elias squeezed into the backseat after her.

Ashley glanced at him but said nothing. Elias didn't speak either. He looked more unruly than usual, with his hair falling over his forehead after the fight.

He took several wet wipes from her bag and wiped his hands in disgust.

Ashley got out of the car when it pulled up at the hotel. Elias stared at her slender back. His thin lips were pursed, and his expression clearly showed that he was holding himself back.

As they stepped into the room and closed the door, he couldn't restrain himself any longer. He pushed her against the wall and forced his leg between hers.

He demanded, "What do you mean by this? Are you rekindling things with Beathan? Have you forgotten that you're a married woman?"

Ashley leaned against the cold wall. Her voice was clear and calm as she said, "I saw you there earlier. You were there the whole time. You heard everything Beathan said.

"If you heard it, then you should know that I've rejected him. He was the one pestering me. So, where does this talk of rekindling things come from?"

As a lawyer, her logical thinking was strong. She wouldn't fall into his trap.

"You-"

Elias was unable to argue with her, so he grabbed her face and forced her to look into his eyes. How

could she be so calm after he had seen her with her ex?

Wasn't she afraid that he would misunderstand her? Did she trust him that much, or did she just not care?
