Chapter 133
“Ashton, is everything taken care of?” Melody asked.
“Yeah, it’s all dealt with. There won’t be any more trouble.”
“Really?” Melody leaned in, lowering her voice. “The Kramers…”
“They’ll never show up again,” Ashton said.
Melody sighed in relief. For the first time, she eyed him with a hint of curiosity. He didn’t seem entirely useless
after all.
She was still a little unsteady on her feet, clearly from being pistoned into too hard by Ashton before. Her mind kept drifting back to the wild time they’d spent together.
While Sylvia was distracted, Melody balled her hand into a fist and waved it in front of Ashton “Whatever happened between us absolutely can’t reach Sylvia’s ears. Got it?”
“What happened between us? Did anything happen?” Ashton sighed helplessly as he looked at her.
She was taken aback. Then, she nodded in satisfaction. “That’s right. Nothing happened between us.”
The rest of the night passed without incident.
The following day, at dusk, Ashton and Sylvia arrived at Evermore Club.
As soon as they walked in, Felice’s face lit up with excitement as she cried, “Mr. Gray, Ms. Langley! Guess what? Amelia Simpson says she’s bringing Starlight with her to perform exclusively at our club! Sunny Tate, a card shark, and a bunch of mixologists are coming, too!
“They’re all jumping ship from our rival, Summit Lounge. With them joining us, Evermore Club is going to outshine Summit Lounge by a mile! Every booth tonight has been booked, and foot traffic is still rising!”
Felice was so excited that she was practically tripping over her words. The booming scene at Evermore Club was something she hadn’t even dared to dream of before.
She wasn’t the only one. Every employee of the club, including Kurt, was in disbelief as they looked at the packed club. After all, just two days ago, the club had been on the verge of bankruptcy. It had been hanging by a thread.
But once Ashton had taken over, Evermore Club had immediately come back to life and was even thriving like never before! At this rate, it could become the biggest nightlife spot in all of Javonbury. And once the snowball effect took hold, the club would become the benchmark for the city’s nightlife!
“Mr. Gray!” Right then, Amelia, Sunny, and the others walked over, declaring their commitment to following Ashton.
“Another rival, huh…”
Sylvia pursed her lips when she saw the graceful, sultry Amelia. She felt even more urgency to win Ashton over. In the future, there would only be more women flocking to his side!
“You’ve all made up your minds?”

Ashton wasn’t surprised that Amelia and the others had come to his side. They were his people to begin with; they never truly belonged to Roxy.
“Mr. Gray, you saved our lives. Of course we’re sticking with you!”
“Alright, then. I’ll double your salaries across the board and give you monthly profit shares.” Ashton never skimped on his own.
“I have more good news, Mr. Gray. Since Summit Lounge has lost Starlight and the liquor supplied by Yorkshore Group, the customers started rioting. Their foot traffic has plummeted. It used to be impossible to get a seat there, but it’s a ghost town now. Everyone’s coming to our club!” Felice’s eyes sparkled with awe as she looked at Ashton.
It was like witnessing the greatest miracle of the century!
“This is only the beginning. Summit Lounge’s glory will come to an end in a few days. Its empire will collapse and be reduced to rubble,” Ashton said confidently.
The night pulsated with allure.
“Mr. Gray, can you come with me for a moment? I’ve got something to tell you.”
After finishing a song, Amelia suddenly approached Ashton. Her eyes were sultry, yet her voice was clear and crisp. She radiated a unique charm.
He didn’t refuse, and he followed her into a private room.
To his surprise, as soon as they stepped inside, Amelia slipped off her jacket, revealing a black camisole and a flat stomach without a trace of extra flesh.
She flipped her hair over her shoulder and smiled foxily, looking devastatingly beautiful. “Mr. Gray, since you’re divorced now, there’s nothing to hold you back. So… take me!”
