Chapter 823

Ashlyn regarded Howard coldly. “I never expected you to be a member of ZZ Organization. Why did you infiltrate

Imperial Hotel? I'd been waiting for you all to make a move, but never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that

you'd sabotage Imperial Hotel. Did the employees here not treat you well, Howard? How could you callously make a

move against them?”

Every single word out of her mouth carried intense recrimination.

Howard felt so guilty that he didn't quite dare look her in the eye.

He lowered his eyes, pain etched across his striking features.

“Lyn... that wasn't what happened... I can explain.”

“I'm not here to listen to you two confronting each other.” Silvermoon's cool voice abruptly rang out. He aimed the

gun in his hand right between Ashlyn's eyes. “You're really an eyesore to be alive. How about... I send you to meet

your maker?”

A hint of devilish allure adorned his gaze. With his long legs, he made for a tall and imposing figure.

Despite standing amidst the rubble, he still resembled an elegant nobleman without a trace of dirt sullying him.

It had others gripped by the urge to remove the mask covering his face for a look at his countenance beneath.

“The members of ZZ Organization are nothing more than a bunch of scaredy-cats, having no guts to face others

with your real self. The same goes for both you and Howard.”

Ashlyn's heart twisted painfully.

She once poured out genuine affection toward Howard, taking care of him like he was a five-year-old kid.

Verily, she never thought that the man would betray Imperial Hotel.

When she heard from Jim that not only was Howard running a fever, but he also found bloody cotton swabs and

gauze in the trash can in the latter's room, she was basically certain that the man who had her deliver her favorite

jewelry was Howard.

Besides, he was the only person who would ask about such a private matter as her favorite jewelry.

In the past four years of her marriage, Lucas gifted her many gifts, including jewelry.

In fact, they were numerous beyond number.

However, Lucas merely regarded it as accomplishing a mission back then.

He didn't put any emotions into it. For that reason, he and other men, such as Jared and the rest, would never ask

her a question pertaining to her jewelry.

Other than the jewelry Howard gifted her that she expressed her liking for, her subordinates like Jared and Luigi

usually gifted her cars, guns, daggers, and the like.

They never gave her any jewelry.

Thus, the only explanation was the presence of a mole.

In the end, the mole was suspected to be Howard.

She had been using herself as bait, for she thought that they wanted her life.

Never had she thought that they actually wanted the lives of everyone at Imperial Hotel.

How could they be so ruthless?

“How shameless, cruel, and heartless are you all that you burned this place down when so many lives were at

stake?”

“How long-winded! Do you think everyone is as naïve as you? What's righteousness? And what's kindness? All those

are just textbook teachings to entertain kids! Do you not know that?”

Cackling maniacally, Silvermoon pulled the trigger without warning.

A bang pierced the air as a bullet whizzed through the air, heading straight for the space between Ashlyn's eyes.

“No! Watch out!” Howard roared.

He threw himself at Ashlyn.

At that precise moment, Ashlyn suddenly frowned. Shifting sideways, she agilely moved to dodge the bullet, only to

be restrained by Howard.

The man was strong, so he kept her locked in his arms.

Ashlyn shoved at him furiously. “What are you doing, Howard?”

It would have been a piece of cake for her to dodge the bullet considering her skills.

Howard was just about to speak, but the instant he opened his mouth, crimson blood trickled out the corner of his

mouth.

He finally couldn't hold back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“Howard? You're shot?”

Ashlyn gaped at him in shock.

He... He took the bullet for me? Was that it? Did he lose his mind or something?

“Lyn... I'm willing to pay the corresponding price for everything I've done. I just hope that you... can... can...”
