Chapter 37
Samantha couldn’t help but laugh_momentarily forgetting her embarrassing situation. “You think that car is yours! I might as well claim the whole Shadow Ventures company is mine. What a joke!”
Tristan rushed over to help Samantha up, but his gaze turned to Ash with concern. “Are you sure you’re not just imagining things because you’re heartbroken over our breakup? Maybe you should see a doctor!”
Samantha’s smugness only increased at Tristan’s words “If I were you, I’d find a place to hide myself after making such a fool of myself in front of my ex–boyfriend of five years.”
Ash stared coldly at the two of them. How had I never noticed how dumb they were before? She smirked slightly. “What if that car really is mine?
“If that car is yours, I’ll walk home on my hands” Samantha scoffed, her tone dripping with disdain. “If it’s not yours, you’ll have to run home naked Deal With that, the patted the car “You think you deserve a car like this? Dream on!”
“Keep your dirty hands off my car Ash said, her eyes turning “It’s mine, and you have no right to touch it.”
“Still pretending, huh Samantha’s face darkened as she pulled her hand away reluctantly. If you’re so sure, prove it. Or else, you’re running home nuird today

Samantha’s face went pale “No way hou mast ve aileni it”
“Even if it were stolen, it’s still wine for you to keep your promise.” Ash replies, not bulging
She had let things slade before because of the More family, bow that Samantha had pushed her, it was time to make

At that, Ash almost laughed. She’d already been kicked out because of Samantha’s schemes; now Samantha wanted to use the same tactic again.
Noticing Ash’s silence, Samantha thought she had scared her. “If you’re smart, you’ll let me go now, or I’ll call my parents”
With a glance, Ash signaled the security, who snatched Samantha’s phone and held her upside down.
As they did, her dress slipped down, exposing her bare thighs. Thankfully, safety shorts covered her modesty, but her long dress now obscured her face.

“Ash, how can you treat her like this? She’s just a girl…” Tristan was in disbelief. The Ash he knew was always sweet and understanding, she wouldn’t do something like this.
“Oh really!” Ash replied, a smirk on her face. Just a moment ago, she bet me that I should run home naked. Where was your concern then? Don’t forget, this bet was Samantha’s idea.”
Showing mercy to an enemy was cruelty to oneself. After all the times Samantha had stabbed her in the back. Ash felt no need to hold back
The crowd that had been pushed aside by Samantha earlier now chimed in. “We all heard it. The bet was her idea; you can’t blame Ash.”
“Right, she’s the one who wanted someone to run home naked. Clearly, she’s not a good person….”
The onlookers murmured among themselves, some even pulling out their phones to capture the moment.
Samantha had never been humiliated like this, but now she couldn’t escape the security guards, feeling both angry and scared.
When she heard the sound of a camera shutter, she fainted from the shock.
Seeing this, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving behind the comment, “You reap what you sow!”
Ash shot a glance at the scene before turning to get into her car.
Tristan rushed after her. “Ash, I was just acting. You’re the only one I care about…
Before he could finish, she kicked him down. “You two are perfect for each other. Just stay together and stop ruining it for everyone else.” She pressed the gas pedal and drove away, leaving him behind.
In the Turner family, Brooke looked serious, clutching her racing heart. “You mean Ash was attacked outside?
Josh wrapped his arm around her protectively, patting her back to soothe her. “Brooke, don’t worry. She’s fine. I’ll arrange for two bodyguards to keep her safe from now on.”
Brooke took a deep breath, her eyes icy. “Is this related to anyone from Macnon?”
Seeing her husband nod slightly, a fierce look crossed Brooke’s face. “Whoever dares to hurt my precious daughter will pay
Just then, the door swung open, and Ash walked in.
“Ash, you’re just in time. I heard you’re looking for bodyguards. I have some; feel free to choose,” Brooke said, her tone affectionate but laced with concern.
As Ash entered, she caught her mother’s words and felt a warm surge in her heart.
Looking at Brooke’s pale face, Ash vowed to find a way to protect her silently.
