Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Love at the Wrong Table

Chapter 2272 Winning Hearts

New Year’s Eve was a night many people eagerly anticipated.

For children, in particular, the night felt extraordinarily special–filled with unforgettable moments, making it seem to stretch on forever. Yet, they weren’t the only ones who felt that way.

Captured by Aora, Ashton was forced up the mountain toward the Chapel of Oros.

At the foot of the chapel, a small group of Franciscan friars stopped them, questioning their unauthorized presence. But Aora, unwilling to be delayed, snapped. In a fit of fury, she cut them down, leaving their lifeless bodies scattered across the chapel grounds.

“You maniac! Monster! You’re worse than an animal!” Terrified and furious at Aora’s cruelty, Ashton shoute at him in outrage.

“Hehe…” Aora’s face was flushed red with the thrill of the slaughter and the chaotic energy surging through his body. His laughter was unhinged, almost demonic.

Luckily, his cultivation was strong enough that his deviation was only in its early stages–he could still regain control.

After his eerie laughter subsided, he tied Ashton tightly to a chapel pillar before sitting cross–legged to regulate his energy flow.

Meanwhile, in the darkness beyond the chapel, figures were stealthily approaching.

“Master Lively, hurry! Ashton is inside that chapel!” Nathan pointed ahead, urging them forward.

He couldn’t just stand by–Ashton had been captured because of him. Rescuing her wasn’t about love; it was about honor.

Aurora and Ostrich followed closely behind him.

Since they had chosen not to report Ashton’s capture to Emmanuel, they were now fully committed to rescuing her.

As members of the Black Wolf Team, they specialized in reconnaissance and intelligence gathering- sneaking up the mountain unseen was second nature to them.

It was Aurora who had tracked Ashton’s unique scent, leading Nathan and Gale to this location.

Right now, allies on Divine Mountain were scarce.

Understanding the risks, Gale grabbed Nathan’s arm, stopping him from charging ahead.

“Mr. Chapman, we’ve left the designated safe zone of the Chapel of Oros. We can’t afford to be reckless–we must proceed cautiously.”

The chapel was responsible for the safety of the Chapman Estate personnel, but now that they had left the assigned area, they were on their own. If something happened, the chapel wouldn’t be responsible.

“If we don’t hurry, that lunatic Aora might harm Ashton!”

Nathan was truly worried. He was a straightforward man and understood all too well how vulnerable Achron
