Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 1016

If that happened, it might even be possible for him to break into the otherworldly realm within 20 days. “I never said I’d give you what you’re asking for though…”

Blushing, Miranda turned around and fled as soon as her words fell. Despite what she said, she was already thinking about what to wear later at night.

Staring at Miranda’s retreating figure, Ashton swallowed hard. His lust was already spiraling out of control. If he wasn’t able to sleep with Miranda soon, he’d eventually lose himself to his desires.

“Tonight, I’ll…” he muttered.

Forcing himself to calm down, he returned to the Lowe residence and approached Colton.

“Grandpa!”

“Ash! Get over here!” Colton called out with a broad smile.

He had already heard the news. The Zimmerman family had been eliminated, and his grandson had become the King of Linton Island. On top of that, the latter had even managed to subdue powerful figures like Aaron Sterling

Before today, he would never have imagined that this would become a reality. From this day onward, the Lowe family would undoubtedly regain their strength and return to their former glory.

“Do you resent me, Ash?” Colion asked wistfully as he looked at Ashton’s face, which bore a strong resemblance to Cyril

Ashton shook his head.

“Your mother insisted on being with your father back then. You see, the best thing I could do as a father was to kick Irene out of the Lowe family, allowing her to elope with Cyril and leave with him. I was doing it to protect Irene,” Colton explained after reflecting for a moment.

“I know, Grandpa,” Ashton said as he rested his fingers on Colton’s wrist, sending a wisp of black energy through the pulse to perform a thorough check.

It confirmed what Ashton already knew Colton’s life force was exhausted, and his passing was now inevitable.

“I’m going to prescribe some herbs for you, Grandpa. You should be able to hold on for one more year as long as you brew them and take them on time,” Ashton said somberly.

“I’m well aware of my own condition, Ash. I know that life and death are just part of the natural cycle, and I have inade my peace with it. I have no further regrets since I can see how brilliant my grandson has become,” Colton said with a heartfelt smile.

Ashton used the Ninefold Arcane Technique to ease Colton’s physical condition, ensuring he wouldn’t suffer any pain or illness during his final days. He removed the needles once he was done with the treatment.

He hesitated briefly before asking, “What kind of man was Dad, Grandpa?”

Colton was taken aback, not expecting Ashton to ask that.

He pondered for a moment before he turned to Ashton and replied solemnly, “I didn’t spend much time with Cyril, but I can assure you he was a man of character, Ash. He truly loved Irene. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have permitted their elopement. I just never expected things to turn out the way they did…”

He suddenly seemed to recall something. He quickly pulled out a silver spatial ring and handed it cautiously to Ashton, saying, Cyril left this for you, Ash. He instructed that should you ever pursue the path of cultivation, this spatial ring must be given to

you.”

Ashton’s pupils constricted. He looked at the silver spatial ring in his palm and felt a sudden chill.

Colton murmured, “You should put it on. Perhaps Cyril’s secret is within it. I knew something must have happened for your father to leave so abruptly. I have dispatched people to locate him over the years, but they never found a single lead.”

I Ashton nodded and slipped the silver spatial ring onto his index finger. He attempted to send a wisp of his spiritual consciousness into it, but to his surprise, he failed.

His spiritual consciousness was obstructed, leaving him unable to penetrate the ring.

Colton said solemnly, “I’m certain that this spatial ring is a valuable artifact, Ash. You should try activating it with your blood essence, I suspect only blood shared with Cyril’s lineage will allow the spatial ring to recognize you as its master.”

Ashton nodded and dropped a bead of blood essence onto the silver spatial ring.

Just as the blood touched the silver spatial ring, a draconic roar seemed to erupt. Ashton’s spiritual consciousness met no further resistance as he successfully probed inside the spatial ring.

Ashton’s eyes brightened as he felt a gentle energy envelop him. He felt that the energy was of the same lineage as his, as he felt an instinctive bond with it. He knew that this was Cyril’s energy.

For the first time, he was consciously experiencing a connection with the mysterious man.

“Does this spatial ring hold Dad’s secrets?” he wondered.
