Chapter 55 -55: Decide for Her, Punish Oliver Hughes
Bella Woods’s gaze was fixed intently on Oliver Hughes.
In her ear was Ashton Marshall’s stern and cold voice: “Since you remember so clearly, then explain your actions today.”
“She went behind my back…” Oliver Hughes blurted out but hesitated at the last moment, “Anyway, she just made me upset, so I taught her a lesson.”
“A lesson?”
Ashton placed the teacup on the table with a thud, startling Oliver, causing his shoulders to tremble.
Oliver hurriedly explained, “Uncle, I did it on purpose. In this match with Ethan Marshall, if I won, it was just a lesson for Bella Woods.
But if I lost, and if Ethan really did anything to her, I would report it to Grandpa, telling him that Ethan dared to touch my fiancée.”
“Back then, Grandma was killed by that mother and son duo. I just can’t bear to see that useless Ethan establish himself in Peace City with the title of the Fourth Master Marshall!” Oliver was filled with righteous indignation.
“You hate someone, and you use your own woman to destroy that person, huh?” Ashton’s rhetorical question was full of oppressive power.
Oliver was stunned by Ashton’s question.
The man’s deep and cold tone continued to ask, “You think you can stay clean after letting your fiancée be humiliated?”
“Oliver Hughes, answer.”
Ashton’s commanding tone made Oliver’s body tremble again. He opened his mouth, stammering for a long time before speaking, “I, I just wanted to teach a lesson, I wouldn’t really let Ethan touch her, I…”
“Absurd!” Ashton scolded, “You still don’t understand, at the moment when you used her as a wager without any scruples, you’ve already ruined a girl’s purity.”
“She’s about to start studying at Peace City University, and her major is Art Aesthetics. Whether in the future she holds art exhibitions, draws comics, or engages in any work related to design, such experiences will bring her before the media. When today’s scene is uncovered, how is she supposed to establish herself?”
“Oliver Hughes, your actions today are like a bullet fired from a gun. Someday in the future, it will hit this girl’s forehead, destroying her completely!”
The man’s reprimanding words were heavy and piercing.
Each sentence hit Oliver, and also penetrated Bella Woods’s heart.
She even uncontrollably reddened her eyes, staring at the figure of the man behind the screen.

He still sat composed on the high platform, yet continued to exude an imposing aura that was not angering but also powerful.
Such a man, an untouchable and revered figure to Bella Woods, instead stood on her side, speaking about her future.
Even the future she was about to give up on was mentioned by this man.
At eighteen, a young woman worn out by life’s hardships, when her heart was on the verge of collapse, was suddenly held firmly by someone.
She didn’t know what emotions to express.
Only that…
She really wanted to cry.
“I, I didn’t think so much…” Oliver took a long while to react, “Besides, she’s my fiancée, and will be the Young Mistress of the Hughes Family in the future. Who dares to talk about today’s incident?”
“You also know she will be the future Young Mistress of the Hughes Family. If today’s matter becomes public, whose face will really be lost? Yours or the Hughes Family’s face?”
“I’ll handle today’s matter properly, no one will know.” Oliver’s face began to show guilt, but his mouth was still quibbling.
“Relying on your mistress? Those scoundrel friends?” Ashton sneered.
“Sienna is not a mistress, we are friends.” Oliver hurried to explain, glancing at Bella Woods, “I was wrong about today, Uncle. In the future, I will be careful. This time, I will apologize to Bella Woods.”
Oliver realized Ashton was truly angry, and if the matter wasn’t resolved, Ashton might take action and deal with it thoroughly, that wouldn’t end well for either Sienna or Oliver’s friends.
Thinking of this, Oliver apologized to Bella Woods, “Bella, I’m sorry, I know you’re a good person and won’t dwell on today’s incident.”
Bella Woods was still pondering over the tone Ashton used when he said ‘that mistress,’ which was uncannily similar to a charming uncle.
Now, seeing Oliver’s apology, Bella found it amusing.
Oliver’s apology was essentially an attempt to end the matter here, fearing Ashton would pursue it further.
And if she didn’t accept, she’d be seen as petty, malevolent, ungrateful.
Bella licked her dry lips, just about to speak when the man’s low voice preemptively answered for her, “She does not agree.”
“Uncle?” Oliver was confused.
Bella Woods looked surprised at the man behind the screen.
“A lip apology is worthless.” Ashton coldly said, “If you’re apologizing, then go and do something substantive.”
“I’ll transfer money to her.” Oliver took out his phone.
“She doesn’t need money.” Ashton rejected again on her behalf.
“Then I’ll buy her a house?”
“No need.”
“Then I…”
“Starting now, for 48 hours, obey her every order.” Ashton couldn’t be bothered to argue further with Oliver.
Oliver was stunned, “What? Obey her?”
“It means, if she tells you to bark like a dog, you do it, understand?” With this analogy, Ashton directly explained the weight of these words ‘obey her every order.’
Whatever Bella Woods said, Oliver had to do.
“I disagree, I…”
“Then this matter won’t end here, are you sure?”
Oliver’s resistance hadn’t yet sounded before Ashton’s words brought it to an abrupt halt.
He could only glare at Bella Woods, willing her to speak.
Bella Woods remained silent, pretending she hadn’t seen anything, just standing quietly there.
Her mind was full of the notion that ‘a lip apology is worthless’ which the charming uncle had also said.
“Can Bella accept this way to apologize?” Ashton toned down his sternness towards Oliver, softening his voice towards Bella Woods.
Bella Woods wasn’t ungrateful: “Thank you, Uncle, for standing up for me.”
Oliver who was waiting for Bella Woods to refuse, was infuriated by this remark, his eyes nearly bulging out.
“Oliver Hughes, if within these 48 hours, you fail to obey her every command, I will extend the period. Your engagement is only four days later, consider wisely.”
After speaking, Ashton waved his large hand, “Leave.”
Oliver fumed, but didn’t dare defy his elder, “Yes, Uncle.”
“Bella stays.”
Bella Woods, who was about to leave with Oliver, was brought to a halt by Ashton’s words, left standing there.
She wasn’t quite sure why Ashton wanted her to stay.
Everything that needed discussing and handling was already done.
What could there possibly be to talk about with this Third Young Master?
“Do you know why I asked you to stay?” Ashton tossed out the question.
“I’m sorry, Uncle, I’m rather dull and can’t guess your intentions,” Bella Woods replied meekly, her gaze lowered.
“Nothing much, just want to ask you a question.”
“A question?”
Bella Woods was rather surprised. What question could Ashton possibly need her to answer?
