Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205

Hank and his mentor had set tonight as a deadline to seize Natalie and Yorkshore Group. He thought to himself, “Your time is running out, you wretched woman. You won’t be able to act all high and mighty in a few more hours! You’ll be groveling before me, begging for mercy and surrendering everything you possess, Natalie!‘

He ran his tongue over his dry lips, his gaze burning intensely into Natalie’s retreating figure, as obscene visions began to materialize within his thoughts.

Natalie’s arrival and departure were swift and abrupt. The guests at Auric Night turned their attention to Ashton, each with a degree of curiosity about the actual relationship between Natalie and Ashton.

It was then that a furious roar arose, detonating like a peal of thunder and carrying its sound throughout the whole main hall. “Who the hell is Ashton Gray? Get your ass out here!”

They immediately turned their gaze toward the entrance of the main hall, where they noticed a flamboyantly dressed young man accompanied by an elderly man making an aggressive entrance. That young man simply booted those who stood in his way, acting with extreme and unbridled insolence.

“I–Isn’t that Damian Payne, the most distinguished scion in Javonbury? What’s he doing at Auric Night?”

“Did Mr. Payne yell Ashton’s name just now? He’s definitely here to confront Ashton!”

“Oh, right! Mr. Payne has been pursuing Sylvia and has publicly declared that she’s the only one he’ll marry! Ashton’s association with Sylvia is evidently inappropriate, and news of this must have reached Mr. Payne, prompting his aggressive arrival to seek retribution!”

“Ashton is completely screwed now! Damian, leveraging the Payne family’s might, is completely unrestrained in Javonbury and notoriously ruthless! Ashton won’t walk away from this if he tries to steal Damian’s woman!”

Those around chattered excitedly, their faces displaying a mixture of astonishment and deep curiosity. There were even quite a few busybodies whose gazes gleamed with anticipation.

Robert couldn’t contain his laughter when he witnessed Damian’s aggressive entrance. “Mr. Payne is finally here, Mom! Ashton is dead meat this time since there’s no way he can go up against Mr. Payne! I need to see Ashton embarrassed and crushed this time; otherwise, I’ll never get over what happened today!”

Tanya’s face was contorted with malice as she hissed, “That’s wonderful news! That filthy good–for–nothing is finally getting what’s coming!”

Roxy’s expression shifted slightly. She sighed softly before muttering to herself, “I hope this lesson will teach you to rein in your temper, as it’ll serve you well in the future, Ashton.”

“What brings you here so suddenly, Mr. Payne?” Millie asked, quickly approaching Damian.

Damian completely disregarded Millie. His intense gaze sliced through the crowd and locked onto Sylvia by Ashton’s side, his eyes gleaming as he hurried toward her.

He immediately reached out to seize Sylvia’s waist, exclaiming, “Come over here, Sylvia!”

Sylvia took a step back, deliberately dodging Damian’s grasp.

Damian scowled, clearly furious at the snub. He reached out to grab Sylvia again, only for Ashton to directly

position himself squarely in front of him, halting his pursuit.

“You’re Ashton Gray?” Damian asked chillingly after having seen suggestive photos of Ashton and Sylvia, his eyes narrowing maliciously.

He hadn’t anticipated that Ashton would present himself so brazenly before his very eyes.

“That’s right,” Ashton replied flatly.

“You’re the one who dared to covet my woman!” Damian barked, glaring at Ashton.

He noticed that Sylvia was clinging closely to Ashton, her stunning eyes holding a profound tenderness for him -an expression entirely foreign to Damian.

He couldn’t help but feel a blazing killing intent surging within him at that sight.
