Chapter 125
Calvert snorted indifferently. His expression was aloof, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. “I guess I got ahead of myself.”

The solemn atmosphere between the two of them was interrupted by a sudden voice. “Take him to the security room and hand them over to the police.” Ash supposed it was the person in charge of this event. She couldn’t care less when she heard this. She looked up and saw that the person in charge was actually quite good–looking. Ash said, “You don’t have to hand him over to the police.”
The person in charge looked in the direction of the voice and was about to speak when his gaze stopped on Calvert. He was quite surprised. “Calvert, why are you here?”
“I’m here to participate in the exhibition.” Calvert returned to his usual distant appearance.
Ash was not surprised that they knew each other. After all, it was normal for someone of Calvert’s status to have friends everywhere.
This person in charge was Finn Meyers, a classmate from Calvert’s university. He majored in programming and started designing games after graduation. In less than two years, he designed the largest IP game in the country and became a big shot in the gaming industry.
Under Finn’s pair of sharp eyebrows was a pair of gentle eyes. His angular face was exceptionally handsome, and he exuded a faint sense of laziness and foppishness.
“I see. Why didn’t you tell me in advance? Hey, you were the hero who saved the damsel in distress just now.” Finn noticed Ash not far away and looked at Calvert meaningfully.
He continued, “Then how do you think we should deal with this person?”
Calvert glanced at Ash from the corner of his eye. He was in a bad mood. “Take him to the security room first.”
In the security room, the man who had initially shouted for everyone to pay with their lives was so humble that he begged for mercy. “It has nothing to do with my brother. I was the one who instigated it!”
Ash was sitting at the side, being treated by the medical staff at the venue. It still hurt a little, especially when the alcohol cotton ball grazed the wound. She could not help but gasp.
Calvert, who was standing beside her, glanced sideways. His expression was aloof and emotionless.
Ash couldn’t help but mutter in her heart, ‘I didn’t mean anything by what I said just now. For some reason, he’s angry. He’s really petty. Moreover, what’s there to be angry about? What did I say wrong? We’re in a cooperative relationship, to begin with. Calvert’s actions just now would indeed cause misunderstandings. What’s wrong with me just reminding him out of kindness?‘
As she thought about it, she could not help but speak, “What an asshole.” Although her voice was soft, it was enough for Calvert to hear her. The nurse who was treating her wound in front of her was stunned. “Did I hurt you?”
There was a fleeting sense of embarrassment in Ash’s eyes. “No, no.”
Calvert only glanced at her and did not say anything.
“I beg you, please don’t do anything to my brother. I was the one who instigated all of this. I was the one who went crazy. I forced him, and I threatened him. I said that if he didn’t do as I say, I wouldn’t let him off.” The crying man’s face was covered in tears. He looked really pitiful.
The knife–wielding man really couldn’t stand it anymore. He growled, “Stop talking. I did it willingly. We’re family. Don’t say anything else.”

“My brother will be at most charged with disturbing the peace. I’ve committed the crime of intentional assault. My brother doesn’t need to be detained, right?” The attacker clearly knew the law.
Finn placed one hand on his waist, and his handsome face revealed a trace of helplessness. “Since you knew that this wouldn’t end well, why did you make such a fuss?”
“We’ve run out of options! What can we do… The crying man burst into tears. “My son’s life is in danger, and my wife is dying. We’ve sold all our properties. What should I do… What should I do?”
Calvert frowned slightly. “No matter how much resentment and grievance you have, you shouldn’t have attacked a stranger. The others did anything wrong.”
“Forget it, I forgive you. We’ll pretend that this never happened. I can help you sue that game company.” Ash had never been a kind, softhearted, and rational person.
Perhaps the scene just now had touched her deeply, so she was willing to help. It was not difficult for her to help those people sue that company, but it meant a lot to an ordinary family.
Calvert clearly did not agree with her decision. He did not look at her and said gloomily, “If all those who did wrong can be forgiven so easily, then the law has no meaning.”
Ash said, “This matter isn’t that serious. They have their own difficulties. I didn’t suffer any serious injuries. It’s my business to choose to forgive them.”
She knew that Calvert was still angry, but he was always aggressive. Ash was really a little angry.
Everyone clearly knew that this pair of brothers did not come this far on purpose. They had suffered, so the others thought that they deserved help. There was no need to be so aggressive.
“If he had used more strength at that time, the wound on your neck might have been quite serious.” It was obvious that Calvert was determined to go against Ash to the end.
Ash’s expression was not happy. She sneered and said, “But you said if. Nothing like that has happened yet, so this hypothesis doesn’t hold. Just think of me as being stupidly forgiving, okay? Mr. Snider.”
Ash was angry. She did not know why her emotions could not be held back today while she was usually calm and composed.
Finn saw that the tension between the two of them was getting more and more intense, so he interrupted stiffly, “Why don’t you leave this to me? No matter what, they made a mistake, but they had no choice. I’ll deal with it appropriately. After all, I’m in charge of this event. What do you think?”
The two of them had a tacit understanding and said gloomily at the same time, “Okay.”
Finn clicked his tongue and wondered, “They’re quite similar. They’re both quite a personality and aloof
No matter what, this incident had come to an end, so they did not make a big deal out of it. The event continued, but Ash and Calvert were not in the mood to participate.
Ash walked around. Perhaps because she was injured, she had lost some of her energy. She left the event venue first. As soon as she walked out of the hall, she saw Eleanor waiting.
Eleanor thought about it and was still worried, so she waited at the door. When she saw Ash, she noticed the bandage on h neck and was shocked. “Boss, what happened to you?”
Ash waved her hand and looked tired. “It’s fine. There was a small farce. Let’s go straight back to Riverstone.”
Eleanor still wanted to say something, “Boss…”
“I’m really fine. Don’t look like this. It has nothing to do with you. It’s not caused by your negligence,” Ash comforted Eleanor
