Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 147

Roxy never thought that she would end up witnessing the scene like this as soon as she walked in.

“Ms. Sloan! Ms. Langley! It was all just a misunderstanding! Mr. Gray is innocent, and Evermore Club is a trustworthy business, and it should be made a role model for all other businesses in Javonbury!” Conrad exclaimed in a hurry.

“Things just happened because someone tried framing Mr. Gray, but everything’s been thoroughly investigated now! Please rest assured!”

He didn’t even spare a glance at Calvin on the floor. If it weren’t for Emerson Group, Conrad would have dearly wanted to strangle Calvin to death by now.

Calvin’s face was twisted with hatred and disgust when Conrad spoke to Roxy and Sylvia. However, he knew he couldn’t continue attacking Ashton today. He had to find another chance next time!

He inhaled deeply and said in a low voice, “Let’s go, Roxy. I don’t want to stay here for another minute longer!”

“Okay. Let’s go,” Roxy said.

She looked at Ashton and saw that his eyes were still cold and icy, and he never even spared a single glance at her from the very start. For some reason, she felt her blood boiling at that.

Roxy helped Calvin to his feet, and they prepared to leave.

“Hold on. Did I say you could leave?” Ashton suddenly said.

As soon as Ashton spoke up, Kyle immediately rushed over and stopped Calvin and Roxy from leaving.

“Ashton Gray! What more do you want from me? Haven’t you humiliated me enough today?” Calvin roared, turning to glare at Ashton.

Ashton burst out laughing. “Why did you fly into such a rage? I think I still prefer it when you were a little wild and rebellious last time. Oh, didn’t you swear that you’d make me rot away in jail for the rest of my life? Why are you slinking away now, like a dog with its tail between its legs?”

Every word sliced deep into Calvin’s heart like a knife. His face was all twisted in anger. However, he didn’t dare to explode now. He didn’t want to experience another bout of the excruciating pain from earlier again!

“Don’t go overboard, Ashton Gray!” Calvin growled.

Ashton responded, “You framed me, brought the police to arrest me, and swore to take my life. How am I going overboard now? Did you never think that you’d have to face the consequences after making a mistake?

“How about this? You can get down on your knees, grovel, and beg for my forgiveness. Admit that you were wrong, and I’ll let you leave. Otherwise…”

Ashton chuckled coldly. “Otherwise, I’m pretty sure that Chief Nell would never forgive liars like you who tried to frame other people for crimes they never committed. What do you say, Chief Nell?”

“Yes, sir. Yes, Mr. Gray,” Conrad said, nodding vigorously. “Mr. Gray is right! Calvin, get down now and admit that you were wrong, and beg for his forgiveness!”

“Mr. Nell! How could you side with other people instead? Why should I ask him for forgiveness? Why should I get down on my knees for him? What right does he have-”

While Calvin was at the peak of his anger, Conrad suddenly rushed up to him and slapped him again on the face.

Conrad continued angrily, “Listen to me now, Calvin Emerson! Do as you’re told and get down on your knees to beg for Mr. Gray’s forgiveness! If you don’t, I will arrest you for this framing incident and throw you in jail for a couple of months! That’ll teach you a lesson!”

Calvin’s eyes were red and bloodshot. Both sides of his face were smarting from the slaps.

To think that he’d just gotten slapped again, right in front of Ashton and Roxy!

He couldn’t put up with this humiliation anymore. Ho

swallow him.

wanted nothing more than for the earth to open up and

Calvin shook and shivered with rage. He wasn’t stupid. He could tell that Conrad was serious about arresting him. If he didn’t grovel and beg for Ashton to forgive him, then he was most certainly going to spend the next few months in jail.

By the time he was released, he was sure that Roxy would have already escaped from his grasp by then.

He simply would not allow for that to happen!
