Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 1010

Chapter 1010

Yves could clearly see that these powerful figures, the kind who could make him’ tremble, were treating Ashton with respect. He immediately put on a smile as regret hit him.

Still, he had never imagined that his divorced nephew could become this powerful. He still didn’t know Ashton’s exact status, but one thing was certain.

This was someone he couldn’t afford to offend.

“Uncle Yves, we’ve already gone our separate ways, right?” Ashton said with a faint smile.

Yves’ expression stiffened, then he quickly laughed it off.

“What are you talking about? We’re family and always have been,” he said. “I’ll go talk to your mom about how things were when we were kids. Back then, every bit of my allowance went into buying her snacks. And when someone went after her, I was the one who got beaten for it.”

He could feel Ashton’s indifference, but he didn’t care. The smile stayed plastered on his face. Then, he hurried over to Irene.

“I was wrong just now. That’s on me,” he said, raising his hand and slapping himself. “Don’t hold it against me. What kind of brother doesn’t care about his own sister?”

Yves was willing to humble himself and kept trying to please Irene. He didn’t dare to show a trace of temper.

Seeing the way her brother acted, Sarah’s expression tightened. She couldn’t bring herself to be as shameless as he.

“Carol, go smooth things over with Ashton later,” she said.

Carol’s body trembled slightly, but she still said stubbornly, “No way. No matter how capable he is, what does that have to do with me?”

“That’s right.” Sully clenched his fists, his voice laced with bitterness.

At that moment, they noticed a crowd gathering around Scarlett. Many people were toasting her, flattering her, all smiles as they addressed her as if she were the boss.

“Since when did Scarlett become a boss?” Carol asked, stunned.

Sarah’s

eyes widened as well. Then they saw Zeke walk up to Scarlett and hand her several documents and property deeds. He smiled and said, “From now on, you’re the chairwoman of Scarlett Entertainment and the two entertainment establishments. Everything’s been arranged. The shares have already been transferred. You’ll be making at least a few million in profit every month. All you have to do is review the reports.

“Oh, and I’ve arranged a few bodyguards for you, tos.”

“A few million in profit? Chairwoman?” Carol muttered, her eyes widened.

She wondered how much money that was. After all, that was the kind of life she only ever dreamed about.

“Mr. Zeke, I can’t accept this. I didn’t do anything to deserve it…”

Scarlett was tempted, but she still shook her head.

He smiled and replied, “You’re Mr. Gray’s cousin, so you’re my family member as well. I’ve already asked him about it. Just take it. It’s fine.”

She froze and looked at Ashton. When she saw him give a slight nod, her eyes filled with tears. For a moment, it felt like she had the whole world in her hands.

The sight drove Carol into a frenzy of jealousy. She wasn’t inferior to Scarlett, so why wasn’t she the one standing there?

Soon, Scarlett became the center of attention again. She was surrounded by powerful figures who crowded around her with praise and flattery.

This time, Sarah couldn’t sit still any longer. She finally understood Yves’ decision, so she quickly pulled Carol along and walked toward Ashton, her smile bright.

“Ash, let me get a good look at you. You’ve grown into quite the man. You’re handsome and capable. I always knew you’d make something of yourself,” she said.
