Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195

Roxy was willing to pay any price as long as Tanya’s stomach condition could be cured.

Christian shook his head, replying, “I dare not inquire about my mentor’s whereabouts as a mere nominal mentee. I’ll certainly describe Mrs. Sloan’s condition whenever I have an audience with him and petition for his help.”

Roxy exclaimed with heartfelt thanks, “I’ll entrust everything to you, then, Dr. Donahue!”

Calvin moved closer to Roxy and said with a smile, “I kept my word about solving Mrs. Sloan’s stomach condition, so you can finally put your concerns to rest, Roxy. I’ll arrange for Dr. Donahue to administer several more acupuncture sessions to ensure Mrs. Sloan’s stomach pain is fully managed for now.”

“Thanks, Calvin,” Roxy said as she looked at Calvin, the one who had once been her first love, feeling that the distance between them had lessened.

Just as Calvin basked in his success, he spotted Ashton and Sylvia, who were clinging to each other. He suddenly felt a flood of intense jealousy and resentment washing over him as he asked, “Isn’t that Ashton? What is he doing here at Auric Night? What an unpleasant coincidence!”

Ashton, on the other hand, spotted Calvin as well, along with Christian standing by his side.

“What a coincidence, Ashton!” Calvin exclaimed with a sneer.

He had been spending all his time devising schemes against Ashton, realizing that unless Ashton were completely removed from Roxy’s life, Roxy would never be his. He also thought that their past connection would remain a shadow over his future.

He had already devised a few schemes. He would soon bring Ashton down, inflicting unbearable public shame and returning the disgrace he had suffered a hundred times over.

Ashton smiled with contempt, saying, “It’s truly quite a coincidence, Mr. Emerson. I must sincerely thank you for allowing Evermore Club to acquire Summit Lounge. I’ll have to toast you for that, Mr. Emerson.”

Ashton raised his wine glass, his eyes blazing with undisguised scorn and ridicule. He had no obligation to spare Calvin’s feelings. Since that man had insisted on challenging him, he was more than willing to deliver a few more crushing blows his way.

Calvin’s expression immediately hardened. He knew Ashton was intentionally humiliating him, hitting him where it hurt most. “You should really enjoy your brief moment of triumph, Ashton!

“That entertainment establishment is utterly negligible compared to Emerson Group and Summit Group! You ought to know that only a loser like you would feel so smug about such a trivial win!”

He then retorted mockingly with his head held high, “Do you recall how you used the medication to threaten Roxy’s family? That despicable scheme ends now!

“I’ve brought Dr. Donahue, who had eased Mrs. Sloan’s pain. The moment his mentor steps in, Mrs. Sloan’s stomach condition will be completely cured! You will then be rendered entirely unnecessary, and your swagger will vanish!”

Upon hearing Calvin’s boast, Ashton regarded him with mockery, then gestured for Christian to hold his tongue.

illnesses of a venomous, ungrateful shrew.”

“How dare you call me a venomous, ungrateful shrew, Ashton! You really think you’re a big shot, huh? How dare you utter such outrageous claims when Dr. Donahue is here!” Tanya snapped, her eyes blazing with fury.

Robert asked through gritted teeth, “Did you see that, Dr. Donahue? That scoundrel actually refused to help my mother! He even insulted your mentor! He must not be let off lightly!”

Roxy snarled, “You’re going too far, Ashton! Dr. Donahue’s mentor is a man of great integrity and status. His character is completely different from the base person you seem to be!”

Ashton retorted with a sneer, “Is that so? Do you actually know Dr. Donahue’s mentor, and do you have any idea what sort of powerhouse he really is?”

Calvin declared, “He must be an expert traditional medicine practitioner, a paramount figure whose skill defies belief! He is in no way comparable to a petty buffoon like you!”

Ashton then said with a smile, “You ought to know that Dr. Donahue’s mentor doesn’t concern himself with the illnesses of a venomous, ungrateful shrew.”
