Chapter 2041 Ashton's Resolve

The Chapman family's wealth and influence were truly astonishing. Within just twenty minutes of hearing that their heir had been shot at Hunter's Den, a helicopter had arrived on the scene.
"Nathan, wake up! If you die, I win by default!" Ashton shouted as the medics loaded Nathan into the helicopter. She stayed by his side the entire time, calling his name. But eventually, she was blocked by the Chapmans' men, forced to watch helplessly as Nathan, his condition unknown, was whisked away for emergency treatment.
Ashton felt an overwhelming heaviness in her heart, as though the snowstorm outside had filled her chest. The events of the night had her mind swirling with confusion. Maxwell had given her a heartfelt confession, even putting a diamond ring on her finger, and for a moment, she'd felt herself being pulled back into the past. She had wanted to fall into his arms many times that night.
