Ashton looked completely unfazed . Not too long ago , he'd beaten the hell out of Clay , the almighty future head of the Dominion Vanguard , and stomped him underfoot . If Clay dared disrespect him again , he didn't mind giving the latter another brutal lesson . " Honestly , where does your confidence come from ? " Sheila scoffed . " Are you done touching me ?

Our bet will soon be settled , then you'll see what I can really do .

" The moment he said that , Natalie's body heated up even more . " What's this bet you two are talking about ? " Sheila looked intrigued . Natalie glared at Ashton .
