Secret Scion
Chapter 51 -

Phoebe put the glass of wine on Asher's right hand side. "We are childhood sweethearts. I know you the best. When you lie, there's always a faint smile. This hasn't changed. Of course, I also understand your thoughts. If it were me, if I was met with danger yet the Crawfords didn't help, I would have been angry too. However, I would never randomly marry some other person. You did wrong too in this matter. However, since you don't wish to mention this anymore, then we'll just not bring it up again. Don't let these unimportant misunderstandings ruin our relationship." Asher raised his wine glass and twirled it in amusement as he asked with a faint smile, "Is there still any relationship between us?"

"Why not?" Phoebe threw the question right back.

Asher did not speak, so Phoebe asked further, "Don't tell me it's because of Noelle? But I heard that you got married into the Stewards purely for the sake of repaying their grace."

"After interacting for long periods of time, feelings can grow."

Phoebe nodded. "Alright then, since that's the case, let's start over in building our relationship. I have nothing but time, so I can afford to waste it."

However, Asher was not of the same thought. If it were two years ago, when he was surrounded by the numerous elites, and Phoebe or her family had offered any help, then their relationship would not have become what it was today.

Some mistakes could be forgiven, but some mistakes required one to be stone-hearted.

Just as Asher was about to speak, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took it out, and once he saw that it was the surveillance he had arranged to monitor Erick's movements, he suddenly frowned.

"What's the matter?" Asher asked solemnly.

"Master Crawford, your guess is right. Erick does indeed intend to harm Miss Steward. Miss Steward has been brought to Room 508 of Starlight Hotel. I did some checking. Garrett is in that room."

"Give me 10 minutes!" As he was speaking, Asher hurriedly left the room.

Phoebe had sharp hearing and had vaguely heard Noelle and Garrett's names being mentioned. Although she was not clear what was going on, from Asher's expression, it could be seen that he was truly angered.

Thinking about it, Phoebe rang a number and said, "Mr. Whittard, follow Asher's car and take a look at what exactly has happened."

Asher gunned the accelerator to the floor, and like a black snake, the car shuttled through the busy traffic. The trip that would have originally taken half an hour took less than ten minutes. When Asher arrived at Starlight Hotel, the surveillance was already waiting for him at the door. "Master Crawford. There are some elites by Garrett's side. Why don't I get more people to come over?"

Asher naturally knew of Rodrick's existence, but time was of the essence. Garrett's intentions were as clear as day to Asher, so just a moment's delay could result in a huge mistake.

Word was given that Noelle had received a call from Mr. Williams, the manager, who said that the company was facing some problems and that she needed to personally solve them. At that moment, Noelle did not think too deeply into it and hurriedly left the house. She had just entered the district when she was dragged off into a car by a few muscular men and then directly sent to Garrett's room.

"Noelle, tell me, if I take your virginity, will Asher go mad with anger?" Garrett held a wine glass half-filled with red wine and smiled at Noelle wickedly.

Noelle had long known that Garrett was a perverted ruffian, and Mikaela was the best example. If she were to say that she was not afraid, that would most definitely be a lie. However, her phone was already taken away by Garrett, so she had no way to inform Asher. As such, all Noelle could do was try her best to drag things out, and hopefully, Asher would realize her absence soon.

"I'm not Mikaela. If you dare so much as touch a strand of my hair, I'll definitely destroy your reputation." Noelle said firmly.

Garrett raised a brow and said. "You actually know about the matter regarding Mikaela? However, it doesn't matter. I don't care. Noelle, if you're willing to be my woman, I could consider not touching you tonight. Otherwise..." Garrett started cackling.

"As an heir of the Schmidt family, aren't you afraid of being mocked by others for actually doing such shameless things?!"

"Haha. If I fuck you, other people should praise me for my ability and not mock me. Don't forget, you've been married to Asher for two years, but your body is still so pure. Furthermore, I'm very much interested in virgins." Garrett smiled evilly.

Outside the door.

Rodrick noticed that there was some movement in Garrett's room and walked over to eavesdrop. He never thought that Garrett would actually kidnap Asher's woman. Everyone had something that was off bounds to others. With Garrett doing this, he was thoroughly inciting Asher's anger.

After pondering upon it for a moment, Rodrick went to the next room and called Rose.

"My lady, if you don't stop Master Garrett, he'll make a huge mistake." "What happened?"

"Master Garrett kidnapped Asher's woman, I think he wants to..." Rodrick's voice sounded conflicted as he continued on. "My lady, you know Asher's temper. If Master Garrett really touches his woman, Asher will surely take revenge without holding back. When the time comes..."

"Ridiculous! I'll call him immediately!"

Garrett gulped down the remaining half of the red wine. The desire in his eyes was becoming thicker as his smoldering gaze ran across Noelle's body. A sense of restlessness arose in his body, surging into his abdomen, as if burning him.

"Noelle, I'll definitely help Asher to complete the thing he hasn't completed. Haha." As he spoke, Garrett got up from the sofa and walked toward Noelle. In a panic, Noelle retreated subconsciously.

Ring~~~

The phone suddenly rang. Garrett picked it up and saw that it was actually Rose. For her to be calling at this moment definitely meant that Rodrick had told her something. After hesitating for a few seconds, Garrett directly turned off the phone.

"Tonight, 'm definitely going to fuck you. No one can stop me!" As he spoke, Garrett pounced on Noelle fiercely as he squeezed her in his embrace.

"Bastard! Let go of me!" Noelle was very afraid, and she wanted to push him away. However, Garrett was holding her too tightly, so she was only able to use all her strength to push against his chest and keep him from kissing her.

"How fiery. I love it!" Garrett cackled and directly picked her up and ruthlessly threw her onto the bed. At this moment, his perverted expression covered his face, and his desire had totally drowned out his sanity.

Noelle originally wanted to use the ashtray to smash it on Garrett, but she never thought that his reaction would be so quick and that he could avoid her so easily. Without giving her a chance to get off the bed, Garrett had already come pouncing over.

"I've placed cameras in this room. Once we're done, I'll definitely send the footage to Asher. It isn't too bad to let him feast his eyes on something he has not been able to get for the past two years." Garrett had totally lost his sanity, and seeing Noelle resist so hard, he raised his hand and slapped her. Instantly, a few red marks appeared on Noelle's pretty white face.

At this moment, Garrett suddenly got onto Noelle's body and grabbed her coat. With a vicious tug, a ripping sound could be heard, and a large patch of Noelle's skin was exposed.

Garrett's eyes lit up as he admired the view before him. He could not help but say, "Asher's taste is not bad. You're indeed an exquisite piece of work. Hahah."

Noelle started crying in anxiousness as she shouted for help while trying her best to protect her body's most important part. Even though she knew that the chances of being saved were pretty slim, she still held onto a thread of hope.

"Don't waste energy. No one is able to save you!" Garrett pinned Noelle's wrists and used his right hand to grab the light blue bra, as if he was about to rip it off.

Bang!

The sturdy wooden door was kicked open by a huge force. Without a word, Asher raised the fire extinguisher he had gotten along the hallway and ruthlessly smashed it on Garrett's head. Garrett felt a chill run down his back as he reflexively rolled to the right. However, he was still too late. With a ding, the fire extinguisher smashed into his head.

Garrett's head was instantly in great pain, as if his head had just been split open.

"Argh! Asher, you will regret this!" Garrett roared.

Since he had already made a move, Asher would not be merciful. He moved and narrowed the distance between them, appearing right before Garrett in a breath. Asher grabbed his hair and ruthlessly smashed his head into the wall.

Another dull thud was heard. Garrett felt the world before him spin and his consciousness started fading. After that, he slowly fell to the ground and almost fainted.

"Asher, stop hitting him. If you continue to hit him, he'll lose his life." Although Noelle deeply hated Garrett, she did not hope for him to die in Asher's hands. This would only bring about the retribution of Asher taking a life.

"He wants to die, so I shall make it a reality!"

At this moment, Asher was like a demon that had crawled out of hell. His entire body was emitting the aura of death as his cold gaze swept past Garrett. Immediately after, Asher directly strangled Garrett's neck with his right arm.

"Asher, how dare you!"

At this moment, Rodrick had already rushed in. Seeing Asher trying to break Garrett's neck, even Rodrick was shocked. Although he had some grudges against Garrett, he could not let anything happen to Garrett, otherwise he would not be able to explain things to the head of the Schmidts.

Rodrick was a strong man on the Elite Ranking, and his ability was unfathomable. Seeing that Asher still had no intentions of stopping, Rodrick directly clenched his palm into a fist and sent it flying into Asher's back.

"Be careful!" Noelle called out to Asher anxiously.
