Chapter 688
“This woman caused your sister to go deaf, yet you're protecting her? What in the world are you doing?” With a
wave of Franklin's hand, dozens of men in black rushed forward and surrounded Blair and Ashlyn.
Livia walked in front of Ashlyn and raised the latter's chin with her forefinger.
With a cocky smile, she uttered, “Ms. Berry, you made my daughter go deaf, and you caused the death of my
eldest daughter. Since this is the case... An eye for an eye, what say you? Lucas may not have the heart to even
pluck a single strand of hair off your head, but not us.”
“The whole world knows that I didn't kill Claire; it was Carmen.” Confronted by Livia, Ashlyn did not budge a single
inch. Instead, she merely eyed Livia coldly.
The middle-aged woman smiled as she gently caressed Ashlyn's hair. In a hushed voice, she stated “So what? In my
eyes, you're the one who killed her, and you're the one who made my little girl go deaf!”
Sizing Ashlyn up as if she were an object, Livia questioned, “Ashlyn Berry, how do you plan on paying the cost of
your sin?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBlair could not watch on any longer. As he grimaced, he remarked in a low voice, “Madam, someone else spiked
Naomi's drink!”
“But the drink was meant for Ashlyn! Blair, you need to get your facts right. That drug was intended for Ashlyn, to
begin with! Instead, your sister drank it, so isn't it Ashlyn's fault? Also, I'm your mother. Is this how you speak to
your own mother? Blair Nolan, where are your manners?” remarked Livia in an icy tone.
She had completely made use of her status as the madam of the Nolan family.
“You...” Blair muttered in a raspy voice. His chest hurt from the rage burning inside him.
You're not my mother!
“You can humiliate me, but please don't humiliate Ashlyn. Madam, I beg of you...” Tears began to well up in Blair's
eyes. He overcame the fear of speaking up against Franklin and Livia—something he was born with. It felt as
though he was swallowing shards of glass as he spoke.
“Get lost!” Livia pushed the lanky young man away. Then she turned to the men in black encircling Ashlyn and
ordered, “Get her!”
With a sneer, she hissed, “If I don't teach this b*tch a lesson today, she'll think that the Nolan kids don't have
parents to protect them. Who is she to bully our children?”
Blair could feel his heart being torn to shreds. He never thought that the day would come when Livia's merciless
tactics would cause him such great pain.
Ashlyn is so nice to me and Naomi! Why is she twisting the truth?
Such was the might of the lady of the Nolan house.
Not only was her status in the household well-established, but she also had the authority to do as she pleased in the
larger Nolan family. This was all the more so when it came to the Nolans' experiment and research center, where
she held an enormous amount of connections and power.
Right now, even if the entire Nolan family was not allowed to enter their research center overseas, she would not
let the other Nolan family members take advantage of the situation.
Blair experienced her prowess firsthand. I would never be able to train myself to be as cruel and heartless as this
couple in my entire lifetime!
Regardless, even if he had to endure brutal punishment, he could not stand idly and watch as Ashlyn suffered.
Just as the men in black rushed toward Ashlyn, Blair made a move.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis skinny silhouette weaved through the crowd, and he utilized both his knuckles to forcefully punch two men in
their backs.
Bang!
The two burly men in black instantly flew and hit the wall at the other end of the corridor.
All that could be heard were their pained wails.
Seeing that, Franklin frowned. He eyed Blair with a cold gaze like that of the devil's.
Thunderstruck, Livia stood rooted to the spot as she stared at the nimble young man.
Blair was quite surprised at the great strength that he possessed as well.
Recently, he had been practicing the martial art skills that Ashlyn had taught him. After he got off work, he would go
to Ashlyn's training camp and practice for a while before heading home.
It shocked him that he actually managed to improve so much within such a short time span.
Franklin's subordinates were all experts in martial art. After all, he did not allow those who worked for him to be idle
even for a single minute.
Glancing at Ashlyn in disbelief, Blair mumbled, “Ashlyn...”
“Blair, these people are just punching bags for you to toy around with now. They should be a piece of cake for you.”
The beautiful woman stood just a few steps away from Blair. She stared at him from a distance as if she were but
an outsider.
