Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 850: He’s Mine Alone!

Two days ago, when Titus Ashworth received the call from Zane Crawford, he was quite surprised. He never expected Zane Crawford to want to cooperate with him.

Thus, he gained firsthand intelligence and was always able to locate Serena Sterling promptly.

"Mr. Crawford, Serena Sterling is definitely after the Sky Sword. To prevent any accidents, we should capture her now. Anyway, you know Serena Sterling’s whereabouts like the back of your hand."

Zane Crawford looked at Titus Ashworth, "I know Serena Sterling’s whereabouts well, but the timing isn’t right. Serena Sterling wants to enter the ancestral temple to pull out the Sky Sword, so we should let her in."

"Does Mr. Crawford have a clever plan?"

"Master Ashworth, do you truly want Harrison Ashworth to inherit your throne? Putting aside Harrison Ashworth’s hatred towards you, wouldn’t letting the heir of an ancient bloodline inherit the throne leave you sleepless?"

Titus Ashworth brought Harrison Ashworth back to the royal city and made him the ruler, which already raised suspicions. Now, with his thoughts revealed, Titus scoffed at the idea that he genuinely wanted Harrison to inherit the throne. He was merely using Harrison to restrain Serena Sterling, and even more so to utilize the ancient bloodline for his own ends.

Zane Crawford looked with subtle intrigue in his eyes at Titus Ashworth. "Master Ashworth, perhaps we should use the chance at the ancestral temple to capture both Harrison Ashworth and Serena Sterling in one fell swoop."

"Mr. Crawford, whether it’s Harrison Ashworth or Serena Sterling, they’re just ordinary people. Are you really confident?"

Zane Crawford’s thin lips curved into a subtle smile, "I will personally deal with Harrison Ashworth."

Titus Ashworth showed a hint of skepticism, "Mr. Crawford, Harrison Ashworth is your elder brother. Can you really bring yourself to do it? Plus, you are a renowned healer, how did you suddenly involve yourself in these plots, even helping me betray your own? Mr. Crawford, you’re not a double agent, are you?"

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Zane Crawford’s handsome face remained calm and indifferent, showing no emotions. "I have never had a brother, not since I was young, and certainly not now. I don’t understand why he has everything while I have nothing. All these should be mine, including Serena Sterling. I must have her."

Then Zane Crawford turned to Titus Ashworth. "Master Ashworth, I’m not helping you unconditionally. If I help you achieve your goals, you must give me your throne."

Zane Crawford wants to replace Harrison Ashworth to become the ruler of Westria.

Moreover, he wants Serena Sterling.

The throne and the beauty, he wants them both.

In Titus Ashworth’s cold gaze, Zane Crawford’s ambition was clear, dispelling any doubts. He laughed heartily, "Zane, you are also of the Westria royal bloodline; passing the throne to you is possible, but you must first accomplish the task for me."

"Don’t worry, I will deal with Harrison Ashworth. As for Serena Sterling... you can’t harm her, Serena Sterling possesses the ancient wolf taming secret technique. Master Ashworth, don’t you want it?"

Mentioning the wolf taming secret technique, Titus Ashworth recalled that astonishing night, a night that made him change his mind.

Initially, he wanted Serena Sterling to disappear, but it’s clear that letting her live is much more valuable.

"Alright, nephew Zane, I’ll follow your lead. The ancestral temple trip is all up to you." Titus Ashworth decisively agreed.

...

Zane Crawford secretly resided in the royal city, Wade Wyatt always followed, "Master, it seems Titus Ashworth is temporarily trusting you, but what will happen during the ancestral temple trip? Then you’ll be exposed."

Wade Wyatt didn’t know what plans his master had; could it be during the trip to the ancestral temple, the master would really take down Harrison Ashworth and then marry Serena Sterling?

Zane Crawford’s expression was unreadable, demonstrating an enigmatic and profound aura. He glanced at Wade Wyatt, "You don’t need to worry about these matters."

After finishing speaking, Zane Crawford returned to his room.

In the room, Zane Crawford stared at the satellite tracker displaying the little red dot, representing Serena Sterling’s current position.

Serena Sterling was already approaching the ancestral temple.

She was coming.

Zane Crawford took out the half red reagent, then rolled up his shirt sleeve and slowly injected the red reagent into his blood.

...

Serena Sterling arrived; this was her second time coming to Westria’s ancestral temple.

She had been here once before to pull the Sky Sword, but she failed.

This time she came again.

The surroundings were quiet, not a single sound. This night should be calm, but Serena Sterling’s sharp and alert eyes sensed an unusual atmosphere.

Serena Sterling pushed open the inner chamber’s door and walked inside. With her previous experience, she easily dodged the traps and reached the interior.

She saw the Sky Sword.

The Sky Sword now pierced the foundation of the ancestral temple, its blade emitting a sharp golden chill, making it intimidating.

Serena Sterling gazed at the Sky Sword, it was this very sword that sealed the ancient kingdom Alani, making it disappear in the sea.

Serena Sterling slowly raised her small hand, intending to pull out the Sky Sword.

At that moment, footsteps sounded in her ears, "Serena Sterling, you finally arrived. I have been waiting a long time!"

Serena Sterling turned around, Titus Ashworth arrived with a large team. The entire ancestral temple was heavily surrounded by guards.

Alongside Titus Ashworth were Harrison Ashworth and Seraphina Shea. Everyone was present; no one missed this grand drama.

Serena Sterling’s eyes slightly moved, her bright gaze fell on Titus Ashworth’s face, "Master Ashworth, it seems tonight you’ve prepared a trap, but how did you know my whereabouts?"

This was the suspicious part; Titus Ashworth had pinpointed her whereabouts flawlessly.

-- A short story by Isabelle Willow --

Isabelle Willow claimed to be the future Mrs. Crawford.

Immediately, several young and beautiful girls stood up and started attacking Isabelle Willow. They were already jealous of her, so they acted directly, pushing Isabelle Willow, "You may be Mrs. Crawford, but then we are Mr. Crawford’s mistresses too. We’ll all serve Mr. Crawford together!"

The previous life of Isabelle Willow was cold and aloof; she would never clash with these girls. But this life was different.

Being pushed, Isabelle Willow immediately reached out and grabbed a girl’s clothes, fiercely declaring, "Don’t dream about it, Jude Crawford belongs to me alone!"

The girls surrounded her and started fighting with Isabelle Willow.

The other girls were stunned, "Fight... a fight!"

They were really fighting, the battle among girls was fierce. Those girls were all jealous of Isabelle Willow’s enchanting face, their long nails aimed at her face. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Isabelle Willow wasn’t someone to be messed with; she grabbed a girl’s long hair and pushed her to the ground, then mounted her, showing explosive fighting prowess.
