Torn Between Love and Hate

Chapter 41

Chapter 41 The Storm

Deborah didn’t say a word for a moment. On the other side, Ashton was very angry and hung up the

phone.

Joseph walked to the bedside and sat down. He looked at Deborah with a meaningful gaze. “Ms.

Shepherd, I suddenly become more and more interested in you. You seem to be more mysterious than

I thought How about we make a deal?”

Deborah said lightly, “Because of Ashton?”

From the first time she saw Joseph at night, she could tell that this man had a conflict with Ashton, and

the conflict was not small.

Joseph smiled and said, “Ms. Shepherd, you are really smart. It seems that we are very suitable…”

“Mr. Black, you think too highly of me. Ashton only hates me. I am not as valuable as you think,”

Deborah interrupted him and said

bluntly.

Joseph was obviously very confident. “Ms. Shepherd, don’t be in a hurry to come to a conclusion. I

never do business where I will lose money. Since I think you are worth it, then you are definitely worth

it. Why don’t you listen to my condition first?”

Deborah did not respond. Joseph continued with great interest, “I will help you leave Ashton. I will take

you and your daughter in and find the best doctor for you guys. You will have the best medical support.

As a condition, you will ruin the Mullen family with me. How

about it?”

Deborah was stunned for a moment and could not help but laugh, ‘Mr. Black, are you

serious?”

A look of displeasure flashed across Joseph’s face. “So, you don’t want to consider it?”

Deborah said honestly. “My daughter can only last for more than a month. There’s no time to find

another suitable bone marrow.

“The only bone marrow that can save her life is in Ashton’s body. So, Mr. Black, the best doctors and

medical conditions were meaningless to us.”

She only had two choices left. Either give up Alyssa and her life, or beg Ashton to donate his bone

marrow.

The former was a little cruel, and the latter had little hope.

Joseph was silent for a long time, and a trace of pity appeared on his smiling face. ‘Fine. The Mullen

family is really hateful.”

His plan failed, and he was somewhat disappointed. He was not interested in Deborah, so he got up

and left.

Deborah also got out of bed and wanted to find Alyssa.

Just as she took the coat and put it on, her stomach churned again.

She rushed into the bathroom, and the things she vomited were still bloody.

It should be because of her liver problem. Her recent nausea and abdominal pain were becoming more

and more frequent, and also

more intense.

After vomiting blood, she really couldn’t hold on much longer. She went back to the bedroom to rest for

a while, then went downstairs

to find Alyssa,

Jus

le went downstairs, she heard a loud and abrupt slap.

She looked over and saw an old man with a walking stick in his hand. He retracted his hand and glared

at Joseph, who had just been slapped by him.

“Bastard!”

The corner of Joseph’s mouth was bleeding. He raised his hand and slowly wiped it. He laughed in a

low voice, “Grandpa, are you sure

you won’t regret beating me up?”

Robert Black said harshly, “How dare you take away Mr. Mullen’s wife and child! Mr. Mullen went to me

in the middle of the night. You’ve brought shame to the Black family!”

Joseph looked at Robert with a face full of surprise. “Does the Black family still have a reputation?”

Robert was already angry. Now that Ashton was still standing behind him and watching, his voice was

even more annoyed

“What the hell! You’re just an illegitimate child. Don’t think that I don’t know who caused the death of

your father’s wife and your brother’s disability!

“Do you really think that you have the final say in the entire Black family? What a joke!”

As soon as he finished speaking. Joseph instructed the housekeeper beside him, “Shawn, Mr. Black

gets sick. Send him back to the old house. Tell the people over there to take good care of him.”

The housekeeper brought a few bodyguards forward and dragged Robert out. “Mr. Black, you are tired.

Let’s go back to the old house

to rest first.”

Robert’s face was full of resentment. The few servants he brought with him followed out. No one dared

to make a sound.

Joseph looked at Ashton and said with deep meaning, “Mr. Mullen, sorry. My grandfather couldn’t

intervene in anything in the Black family now.”

Ashton sneered, “I didn’t expect you to be so cold to your grandfather.”

Joseph smiled, “Mr. Mullen, you flatter me. I can’t compare with the Mullen family. My mother’s soul is

still in your second uncle’s

house.”

Ashton was obviously extremely angry because of Deborah, but he still approached Joseph calmly.

“Second uncle? That’s your father. He was talking about you two days ago. He missed you very much

and said that he treated you like

his own son.”

As expected, Joseph lost his cool and threw a punch at Ashton.

Ashton blocked his fist and raised his hand and threw a punch back.

Ashton started to practice Taekwondo and boxing at the age of three. At the age of seven, he entered

the underground boxing arena. Later, he took over the Mullen Group when he reached adulthood. He

wanted to establish the image of a gentle and refined businessman, so he almost never went to boxing

arenas again.

If he really wanted to fight, even the professional bodyguards he brought with him were not his match.

In comparison, Joseph had never learned these professional skills. He was wild and had been fighting

with the hooligans on the street since he was a child. His attacks were ruthless, and it was difficult for

anyone to beat him.

They fought for a while.

When Debor “ent downstairs, she did not see Alyssa. Seeing that both of them were angry, she walked

lightly and slowly walked

outside. Sh .ed to go out to find Alyssa.

When she finally reached the door, her shoulder was suddenly pressed down by someone.

Deborah’s heart jumped, and she took a deep breath.

When she saw Ashton, she subconsciously pushed him away.

Ashton ran out of patience. The hand on Deborah’s shoulder was pushed away. He reached out to

grab her hair and strode outside.

Deborah felt as if her entire scalp was going to be torn off. The pain spread all over her body. She

could not control her body at all.

She could not resist and followed the direction where Ashton pulled her. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Ashton threw Deborah to the back seat. Deborah got up and was about to go out when she saw the

carpet between the front and back seats. Alyssa was tied up and curled up in the corner.

Deborah’s heart tightened. She immediately approached and picked Alyssa up.

The moment Ashton entered, the driver in front immediately locked the car door and drove back to

Flora Villa.

On the way back, Ashton did not say a word. His face was gloomy.

It was already one o’clock in the moming, and the heavy rain outside had not stopped yet. The dark

winter rain seemed to be colder than the heavy snow.

When the car stopped at Flora Villa, Ashton instructed coldly, “Leave this child outside. Deborah, and

bring Deborah here for me.”

He got out of the car and walked inside, ignoring the heartbreaking cries that were soon heard behind

him.

After returning to the bedroom, he took a bathrobe and entered the bathroom.

When he came out again, he tied the bathrobe belt slowly. He saw Deborah, who was drenched in rain,

thrown on the carpet of his bedroom with a pale face.

Ashton glanced at her, walked to the sofa, and sat down. He said lightly, “Come here.
