Chapter 206
Damian was consumed by the burning shame of being openly betrayed.
Robert spotted his opening and rushed into the fray, deliberately stoking Damian’s fury. “Mr. Payne, that scoundrel had been making his move on Ms. Langley! He has blatantly disregarded your authority! He has even moved into Ms. Langley’s residence!”
That revelation triggered an immediate uproar from the crowd, and countless gazes shifted toward Ashton and Sylvia.
There was one person, seemingly in the know, who looked rather bewildered. “Isn’t Ashton married to Ms. Sloan? Why would he be living with Ms. Langley now?”
“It’s said that Ashton and Roxy are already divorced!”
“Ashton is ridiculously lucky with the ladies! Roxy and Sylvia are both renowned beauties of Javonbury! He’s relishing the pleasures of having his pick of them!”
“Ashton is totally screwed now! Mr. Payne is notoriously obsessed and territorial over Sylvia, and now that he has learned that Ashton and Sylvia are currently cohabiting, there’s no way he’ll let this slide! He’s going to turn this place upside down!”
“It’s time to sit back and enjoy the spectacle!”
In the end, all attention at Auric Night was now solely fixed upon the trio–Ashton, Sylvia, and Damian, the most distinguished scion in Javonbury.
Sylvia snapped before Ashton could respond, “What is the meaning of this, Damian?”
Damian clenched his fists and roared, “Who the hell is this, Sylvia? How could you allow him to stay in your villa? I haven’t even set foot in it myself!”
Sylvia retorted, “That is none of your concern!”
Damian bellowed, “How could it be none of my concern! You belong to me! How dare you live with another man!

“I never belonged to you, Damian!”
Sylvia’s expression shifted as she rushed to prevent Ashton from misjudging the matter. “I’m not involved with him at all, Ashton!”
“I know, Sylvia.”
Ashton gently ruffled Sylvia’s hair, then addressed Damian with disdain, asking, “What’s with all the barking? Get out of here!”
That comment instantly ratcheted the air of hostility to a breaking point. Those present stared in disbelief, as in the entirety of Javonbury, such insolence toward Damian was unprecedented.
“What did you just say? I dare you to say that one more time!” Damian bellowed, his face contorting in menacing fury.

“What’s with all the barking? Get out of here!” Ashton repeated flatly.
“You’re dead meat!” Damian’s bulging veins reflected his rage as he aimed a punch at Ashton’s vital point.
In the next instant, Ashton reached out and clamped down on Damian’s fist, a chilling glint appearing in his eyes. “You wanted to lay your hands on my woman and even dared to challenge me! You’re actively seeking your own demise here!”
“Sylvia is not yours! Sylvia belongs to me!” Damian roared, his muscles bulging as he fought, yet his fist remained trapped and utterly immobile in Ashton’s hand..
“You should let everyone know who you belong to, Sylvia!” Ashton said as he gave Damian a gentle shove, sending him stumbling backward in shame.
“I belong to you, Ashton! You’re the only man I need in my life, and I’ll forever belong to you, Ashton!” Sylvia offered a beguiling smile while she nestled against Ashton, radiating sheer delight.
Those present were immediately dumbfounded, having never thought Sylvia would unhesitatingly pick Ashton over Damian. They also noticed that Sylvia’s devotion to Ashton was obviously authentic, a sincere affection that transcended mere performance.
That development unequivocally rendered Damian the object of public ridicule and shame.
