Chapter 899 Blake and Magnus Has Left Yeringham
For her, that tattoo used to be a symbol of love, but now it was nothing but an insult.
At the age of eighteen, she experienced her first crush when she met a man six years her senior.

He came from a prestigious family, part of a rare and traditional martial arts clan. He had been training in martial arts from a
young age and was hailed as a once–in–a–generation genius. Ashton had once challenged him, but her formidable combat
skills, which had left many men reeling in pain, were rendered feeble before
him.
He conquered her heart with his incredible prowess. Ashton fell deeply in love with him and claimed she would do anything for
him.
He asked her to get a tattoo, and he even had her sneak into a place to help him with some tasks. Those tasks came with
significant risks, but at the time, Ashton was willing, believing that he also loved her and that they would get married. However,
when she finished the tasks and heard the news of his engagement to a wealthy heiress, Ashton was shocked and heartbroken.
Ashton, feeling like her world had shattered, confronted him, but all she received was a simple “thank you.” She realized that she
had encountered what was often described as a ‘sc*mbag.‘
He didn’t fit the typical portrayal of a villain in novels or TV dramas with a sinister face. Instead, he had the face of a protagonist
and the abilities of one, yet he was a scoundrel.
After that experience, Ashton had no intention of pursuing romantic relationships. She became more hostile toward evildoers and
even more determined to fight crime. If she came across sc*mbags, she was not averse to giving them a good beating.
Thinking of the sc*mbag reminded her of Blake, the suspect. After investigating him, she found that he was undoubtedly a top–
tier sc*mbag, constantly involved in either playing with women or on his way to playing
with them.
She really wanted to apprehend him at all costs but realized that she couldn’t do it alone. The man’s abilities surpassed even
Sage’s, let alone her own.
Just then, her phone rang.
“Hello, Captain!” Ashton answered the call eagerly. “I’ve already brought Xylie Tanner back to Yeringham. This time, I didn’t fail in
my mission!”
Having been unable to solve three consecutive cases, Ashton had been under tremendous pressure. Now, with at least one
success, she felt a considerable relief.
“Good job,” Sage praised her and then turned serious. “However, I have some bad news for you. Blake Dotson is now with
Magnús Zelinsky and has left Yeringham. Capturing him just became more challenging.”
“What?” Ashton’s anxiety escalated. With this development, it seemed she might not solve any of the three cases she was
handling!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Blake was driving his old Corolla with Magnus, heading toward an ancient town near
Yeringham.
“Magnus, why are you leaving Yeringham at this hour? Weren’t you supposed to watch the big show we arranged to the end?”
Blake asked, wearing a grin.
Magnus smiled and replied, “I did it all for you.”
Magnus smiled and replied, “I did it all for you.”
“For me?” Blake was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. “I’m deeply moved. Who would’ve thought there’d be a
man who cares about me so much? Tell me, Magnus, why is it all for me?”
Putting away his phone and adjusting his glasses, Magnus said with a slight smirk, “The Quillen family is about to fall, and when
that happens, Emmanuel is sure to be furious. Who do you think he’ll blame?”
“He’ll blame you, of course. What does it have to do with me?!” Blake grinned, showing his discolored teeth. “I just followed your
orders to take out Sebastian Oatley, leading to the downfall of Terence Group. You. orchestrated the entire scheme! He won’t
come after me when you’re the mastermind.”
“Haha,” Magnus laughed. “Let me analyze it for you.“
