Chapter 229:
Jacoby had intended to create a spectacle but lost interest when he saw Hayes’ lack of courage. But before he left, he couldn’t help but look at Rosalie again. For him, the greatest discovery of this outing was finding such a remarkable beauty on board. Such top-tier beauties were rare even in Staville, and he seldom had the chance to date them. Now presented with such an opportunity, Jacoby was not about to let it pass.
He grinned as he locked his gaze on Rosalie. His intentions were unmistakable as he strode directly toward her. He declared arrogantly as he walked, “What if I take all the beautiful women from your boat now? Would you have any objections?”
Everyone exchanged uneasy glances before lowering their heads in silence. No one dared to speak up. The more attractive girls began to cry in despair, terrified of what might happen to them. Even Rosalie, who was usually calm, felt a wave of nervousness. In this tense moment, only Ashton had the courage to step forward. He stood there with a smile, finding the situation genuinely amusing on the inside.
Ashton’s main reason for attending this gathering was the hope of running into Jacoby. When he realized Jacoby wasn’t on the boat, he knew that Hayes had been bragging. This was why Ashton hadn’t held back when dealing with Hayes’ bodyguard. To his surprise, he now found himself directly confronting Jacoby.
Seeing Jacoby’s clear intentions toward Rosalie, Ashton stepped forward with determination. He positioned himself in front of her and declared, “My apologies, but I absolutely have an objection to that.”
Seeing someone suddenly step in and block his path, Jacoby narrowed his eyes, struggling to conceal the violent intent behind them.
The calm, almost mocking smile on Ashton’s face, as if he had everything under control, only served to enrage Jacoby further.
He sneered and asked, “You have an objection? Let’s hear it.”

Ashton calmly took Rosalie’s hand and said, “This is my girlfriend; you can’t take her away.”
The sinister gleam in Jacoby’s eyes grew darker. He let out a cold laugh and replied, “So, you’re saying I can take any other woman except her?”
Ashton shook his head and responded, “That’s not happening either. They’re all old classmates of my girlfriend. I can’t imagine what you might plan to do with them. If you want to beat up Hayes, that’s your business, but no one on this yacht is going anywhere!”
Ashton’s bold declaration instantly ignited Jacoby’s fury. In a surge of anger, Jacoby grabbed a bottle and smashed it against the table. He aimed the jagged, broken edges directly at Ashton.
“You dare to speak up after I asked for your opinion? You’re practically begging for death!”
As Jacoby’s threat rang out, a group of men quickly jumped from the larger yacht. They surrounded all the entrances and exits, ensuring that no one on board could escape, not even by diving into the sea.
As Ashton surveyed the situation, his eyes narrowed. To his surprise, among the group, he recognized Roger and his men.
Roger noticed Ashton but chose to stay quiet, instead giving him a discreet wink.
