Chapter 132

“Ashton, hurry up and give my mom the medication!” Robert snapped.

Michael chimed in. “Ashton, you’ve vented your anger. Better to resolve this than to escalate it, so let’s stop the arguing here. Do it for Celia’s sake!”

Roxy said coldly, “You’ve achieved your goal, Ashton. This should end now!”

All of the Sloans, aside from Renee, had always thought they could toy with Ashton and showed him no respect whatsoever. Their worldview never extended beyond their own narrow understanding. They were utter fools!

Ashton looked down at Tanya, who was still kneeling at his feet. He asked coolly, “Did you ever imagine this day would come when you insulted me and my mother back then? Are you sure you’ve realized your mistakes? You just don’t want to keep suffering.”

Tanya’s eyes were bloodshot. Realizing he was playing her, she snarled, “Are you giving me the medication or not? Don’t forget what you promised!”

“What did I promise?” Ashton said mockingly, “I only said that if you kneeled and apologized, I might consider giving you the medication. Well, I’ve thought it over now, and people like you are better off being tormented by your stomach issues. It’s the price you should pay. Sorry.”

His words were like a devil’s whisper, leaving the Sloans furious and terrified. The Ashton they’d once toyed with had become so sly and shameless. They could no longer see through him, nor could they easily manipulate him anymore.

With that, Ashton turned to leave.

“Ashton Gray, stop right there!”

Roxy stood in his way, looking livid. She snarled, “Are you really not going to give Mom the medication? Do you really want to burn bridges?”

“Listen closely–I will never give Tanya the medication, and I’m burning this bridge completely. Is that clear enough?” Ashton asked icily.

In truth, he wouldn’t have gone this far if Tanya hadn’t been so despicable. All he could say was that she’d brought this upon herself.

“Mom, get up. We don’t need to beg him! I refuse to believe he’s the only person in the world who can treat your stomach condition! Don’t worry. I’ll pull every string I have to track down a miracle doctor who can cure you for sure!” Robert helped Tanya up.

Then, he turned to Roxy. His tone was filled with hatred as he asked, “Now you see Ashton’s true colors, don’t you?”

She nodded and said frostily, “Ashton, you have nothing to do with us Sloans from this moment on. One year from now, per the agreement, you can’t appear before Celia or see her ever again. I’ll make sure she completely forgets that she ever had a father like you!”

“Your memory seems to have failed you, Roxy. According to the agreement, as long as my assets surpass yours one year from now, Celia’s custody will be mine. You’re the one who won’t be allowed to see her,” Ashton shot

back.

“Ha! You think there’s any chance of your assets surpassing mine in a single year?” Roxy said confidently, “You have no idea how massive Summit Group is under my management and how vast its holdings are.

“You think relying on Evermore Club, a business someone gave you out of charity, is enough for you to hold your head high before me and fight me for Celia’s custody? You’re far too naive!”

“We’ll see how things go a year from now.” Ashton couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. He finally left without another look back.

Roxy clenched her fists as she watched him disappear into the night. “There’s no way you’ll beat me, Ashton!”

“Give me painkillers, now!” Tanya howled again, swallowing a reckless amount of painkillers until the agony in her stomach finally eased.

Her face contorted in rage, and she cursed Ashton out. “He’s a piece of shit! I’m going to make him meet a horrible end!”

Soon, Ashton returned to Sylvia’s villa.

“Ashton!”

Sylvia threw herself at him like a needy kitten when she saw him. She smelled fresh, clearly having just

showered.

She wore a silk black camisole dress, her flawless curves peeking teasingly through the thin fabric. All it would take was a single look from Ashton to make her give herself to him.

Right at that moment, Melody cleared her throat loudly, making Sylvia slip out of Ashton’s embrace. She shot Melody a resentful look.
