Chapter 186: Chapter 186: The Pervert’s Downfall
Ariana finally turned her head back, letting the two doctors push her into the emergency building.
Ashley had just intended to retract her hand, yet the next moment her wrist was grabbed by Warren, who then raised her hand up to his face.
"What are you doing...?"
Ashley just asked, but then saw Warren staring at her arm.
On her arm was a conspicuous bloodstain.
Understanding what Warren was looking at, she explained, "It’s not my blood, it’s Ariana’s. I’m not injured."
Warren’s furrowed handsome eyebrows relaxed, along with releasing her hand.
However, his eyebrows quickly furrowed again as he asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Everything was fine when you left, wasn’t it?"
Ashley didn’t know the specifics but could roughly guess the reason.
She explained her guess and Warren’s eyebrows furrowed even deeper.
"During the argument, besides attacking your friend, did they also attack you?"
Ashley shook her head, "No."
"Alright, understood. You go check on your friend first, I’ll handle things here."
Ashley was taken aback for a moment and asked, "How are you going to handle it?"
"Of course, in the way it should be handled. Isn’t your friend the most important to you? She’s being bullied now, I’ll help you get back at them, simple as that."
"Don’t..."
Ashley feared Warren would call someone to give Jade a severe beating, and hurriedly grabbed his arm.
Warren just felt a tightness on his arm, the place being grabbed strangely felt a bit hot.
He glanced away unnoticeably and asked, "Why did you say don’t go?"
Ashley realized she was too anxious and reached out to grab Warren, so she quickly withdrew her hand and explained, "Ariana hasn’t spoken yet, I want to see how she wants to solve it herself, after all, no matter what, that’s her biological mother."
The blood ties are intricate and hard to sever, even when it comes down to settling scores with Jade, the least should be her, not Warren.
Warren didn’t care, "Your friend is injured so badly, she clearly doesn’t regard your friend as her daughter. On the contrary, that girl named Han, is more like her real daughter in her heart."
Ashley didn’t want to continue this topic. Everything had to be decided by Ariana herself.
Whether it’s Warren or her, neither has the right to arbitrarily solve it here.
Plus, it’s all her guess right now, she doesn’t know exactly what happened.
What if it was Ariana who started the fight?
If it goes to the police, if Ariana made the first move, she would also have to take responsibility.
In short, she would talk to Ariana before making any decisions.
Ashley changed the topic and asked, "Why are you at the hospital? You even prepared a wheelchair in advance."
Warren shook his phone slightly.
"Damian called."
Ashley understood immediately.
No wonder.
However, it’s also foreseeable; Damian helped her this time, thinking that she has a good relationship with Warren, so obviously he would want to take credit in front of Warren.
Making this call to inform Warren was equivalent to taking credit.
But Ashley couldn’t understand why Warren actually came?
Could it be Elder Prescott ordered him to do something, so he had no choice but to take care of her?
But anyway, what happened at the Japanese restaurant at noon was still vivid in her mind; she still owed Warren a favor.
Moreover, it seems now she owes more and more.
She has to repay it as soon as possible. Once cleared, they would no longer contact each other, becoming two perfect parallel lines.
This is what she wants now, and what she wanted from the very beginning.
Warren didn’t know what Ashley was thinking. He just saw that her complexion looked much better than when they met at noon, and she even showed him a smile, asking, "How did the things at noon go? Were your people hurt?"
Warren was almost dazzled by Ashley’s smile.
When she smiles, there are two slight dimples on her cheeks.
He somewhat understood why Aunt Shaw named her Ashley, it really suits her.
But Warren quickly returned to himself, glancing away indifferently, saying, "You should ask if he’s hurt, aren’t you very protective of him?"
A dash of fleeting embarrassment flashed across Ashley’s face.
"At the time, I didn’t know the situation; later Assistant Lowell told me."
"He talks too much."
"He was speaking the truth. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known he was a pervert. So, how did it end up later?"
"Beat him up; he confessed everything. He harassed a total of twenty-one women, including two under eighteen."
Ashley’s eyes widened.
"Not human!"
"R Country folks aren’t good people to begin with."
Ashley knew the Prescott Family had participated in wars and sacrificed several family members, so Warren’s deep hostility towards them was understandable.
Every Veridian can understand.
"What happened after he confessed?"
"The officials got evidence of him admitting to illegal activities and sent people to take him away; now the restaurant is sealed."
Ashley suddenly opened her eyes wide and said, "Then weren’t you guys regarded as thugs by the officials?"
"We often need their help too; it’s a give-and-take situation. Apart from business dealings, occasionally favors need to be owed, so relationships can be maintained for long term."
Ashley looked at Warren in surprise.
He had just graduated from high school, yet his understanding of networking was already at this level.
No wonder in his past life, right after graduating from university and taking over the Prescott Group, he elevated it to another level.
Transforming from Westcroft’s leading conglomerate into Veridia’s corporate leader.
If it were her, she would only feel used by the government.
Truly, the rich just become richer.
She also needs to work hard to make money.
She might not be born a natural entrepreneur like Warren, but at least she knows what the world will be like in the next few years, she should have no problem earning a bit of money through timing the market.
Ashley cleared her throat, saying, "It’s good it got closed, so no one gets harmed again."
"Yeah, lest some fools think that those appearing to be upright gentlemen are indeed real gentlemen."
It was clearly a mocking statement, yet Ashley couldn’t get angry because he was right; she did misjudge someone.
"Sorry, I misunderstood you at the time," Ashley said sincerely.
Warren gave her a deep look, didn’t continue the topic, instead saying, "Let’s go, check on your friend."
"Okay."
Ashley nodded and followed Warren into the emergency building.
She initially didn’t want Warren to come along, so she stood outside chatting with him for quite a while.
But when she thought it through, in case Ariana’s situation was serious, she might need Warren’s help, so eventually she said nothing and walked inside together with Warren.
Already inside the hospital, Ashley really didn’t need to worry too much.
No matter how bad the result, there wouldn’t be any life-threatening concerns.
Yet despite thinking this, her heart couldn’t help but twist.
Because Ariana had a lot of blood on her, though each place didn’t have much, there were many wounds.
