Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188

“You’ve gone too far, Sylvial” Roxy snarled, her eyes glinting with malice.

Sylvia scoffed. “Your mother was free to insult Ashton, but my simple ‘old hag‘ comment crosses the line, huh? That is the very definition of hypocrisy, Roxy!”

Roxy was stunned into silence by Sylvia’s remarks. She didn’t want to escalate the situation, so she said, “Come on, Mom. There’s no need to stoop down to their level, so let’s just head into the venue.”

“How can we just drop this?”

Tanya, in her usual overbearing manner, haughtily brandished the gold invitation at Sylvia and Ashton. “You’d better apologize to me now. Otherwise, you can kiss your attendance at Auric Night goodbye!”

Sylvia’s expression shifted slightly after spotting the gold invitation. She knew that the invitation was a symbol of power and standing.

If they caused a scene at Auric Night, the hosts would unquestionably back the person holding the gold invitation -it was profit and leverage that ruled all such decisions, after all.

Upon spotting Sylvia’s apprehension, Tanya grew smug. “You ought to know that a good–for–nothing will always be a good–for–nothing–never presentable!

“Have you no shame, Sylvia? Why would you choose a worthless man like that and let him make a spectacle of you? It’s no surprise that Roxy is crushing you in the business world!”

Sylvia was about to launch a verbal assault, her eyes hardening, but Ashton quickly drew her back. He then glared at Tanya, his former mother–in–law, and snarled, “You’d better apologize to Sylvia now!”

Tanya erupted in a fit of fury. “Huh? You’ve got to be kidding me! You’re demanding an apology from me, huh? Who are you to speak to me that way? Do you even own this place? Do you think you can do anything to me just because I called you a good–for–nothing, Ashton?

“Do you think you can do anything to me just because I called Sylvia a shameless tramp? Do you plan on hitting me, Ashton?”

Tanya haughtily patted her own cheek and said with a sneer, “You ought to know that we’re at Auric Night now. If you cause a fuss or lay a hand on one of the guests holding the gold invitation, you’d never live to see the sunrise tomorrow, Ashton!

“You see my cheek here? If you’ve got the guts, take your best shot!”

Ashton raised his hand and slapped Tanya hard across the face, producing a sharp, resonant sound that echoed through the surroundings.

Tanya stumbled backward, reeling three full paces. Her left cheek was instantly throbbing, Ashton’s handprint appearing vividly on her cheek. Her ears were ringing fiercely, and an inferno of rage consumed her.

She couldn’t believe that she just got publicly slapped by Ashton, that good–for–nothing. She thought that if word were to spread, her life in society would be over.

“H–How dare you hit me!”

Tanya’s eyes widened in disbelief. She locked a searing, unwavering glare onto Ashton, vowing silently that she would destroy him for this humiliation.

Ashton snapped, “You requested it yourself! I can hardly refuse when a request is made so clearly, after all. That said, while that strike was the price of your insolence, you still need to offer the apology that your actions require!”

“You good–for–nothing! You’re absolutely done for! Get someone over here and seize him this instant!” Tanya shrieked, completely abandoning her decorum.

She only wanted Ashton gone for good at that moment.
