Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218

Tanya refused to admit she was wrong

Robert, however, wavered. “Roxy, did we ever truly understand Ashton? Why do I get the feeling that ever since he left their family, he’s been doing better for himself? Whereas for us…”

“It’s just a temporary setback!” Roxy declared, her gaze remained fixed on the direction where Ashton and Sylvia had left.

Her voice was grim as she continued, “I admit I underestimated Ashton and misunderstood some things about him, but that has no bearing on our divorce. One day, I’ll prove that I made the right decision!”

“You’re right, Roxy!” Tanya chimed in, her jaw still clenched. “We’ll just have to focus on expanding Summit Group. As long as the company becomes bigger and more powerful, Ashton will be nothing compared to us!”

As the night settled, Ashton brought Sylvia back to Lakeview Heights.

Just before he left, she tiptoed and kissed his cheek, her eyes brimming with affection. “Tonight felt like complete bliss, Ashton.”

Ashton smiled as he watched her enter the house. Only then did he set off for Yorkshore Group.

“I hope you can handle the trap set up for you tonight, Natalie. Otherwise, you’ll have no choice but to acknowledge me as your master,” Ashton remarked in amusement as he hurried over.

He was determined to make Natalie his.

For one thing, it would be a huge benefit for him to engage in paired cultivation with her. Apart from that, he wanted to teach her a lesson for breaking the agreement they had. No one was allowed to go back on a promise they made with him.

She had to pay the price for that.

Meanwhile, over at Yorkshore Group, Natalie sat in her office with her hair pulled up into an elegant bun. Her business suit, with its tight pencil skirt, hugged her curves and accentuated her ample chest. Her flawless face was almost a lethal weapon that was capable of subduing any man.

She sipped at her coffee, her eyes flickering with hostility.

Tonight, she had arranged for one SS–ranked supreme grandmaster and two S–ranked grandmasters to come over. It was the extent of her most powerful connections and the reason why she could be this dominant in Javonbury,

Three experts who were at least S–ranked or higher could easily overthrow most of the factions in the city. “Hank, and whoever it is that’s behind you, since you dared to plant a parasitic poison in me to make me suffer in pain, I’ll make you pay for this with your lives tonight!” Natalie growled, her eyes narrowing.

She planned to eliminate Hank and the mastermind behind him, get the antidote for the parasitic poison in her,

and no longer be forced to ulit to anyone!

“You won’t p

to take advantage of me anymore, Ashton!”

Natalie rubbed her butt, scoffing in displeasure when she recalled his brazen actions.

Massaging her temples, she pulled out the talisman Ashton had given her and chuckled. “I’ll admit your to a charming man, Ashton. But if you think you can win me over–that I would acknowledge you as my master then you really think too highly of yourself!”

Natalie was a proud woman. She would never let herself be under another’s will. She tossed the talisman onto the desk, not once considering that she might need his help tonight.

What could he do if even three S–ranked and above experts couldn’t deal with the mastermind behind the parasitic arts used on her?

“I made you a cup of herbal tea, Nat. Drink it while it’s hot.”

Hank opened the door and came right in, his eyes filled with desire.

After setting the cup down on the desk, he boldly stared at Natalie’s curves and gulped subconsciously.
