Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 288

Ashton’s voice dripped with mockery. It was clear he was deliberately trying to rile up Flint.

Flint remained silent, his gaze cold and unreadable as he watched the blood still swirling through the air.

He knew he’d fallen for Ashton’s trap. He’d underestimated Ashton’s strength–he’d already reached the transcendent realm.

Flint had been tricked. He’d been doomed to fail the moment he agreed to that bet with Ashton.

Ashton had deliberately baited Flint with the Drakell technique, making him lose his cool. Driven by greed and desire, he’d made the wrong call.

Meanwhile, Ashton leaped off the arena. Before anyone could even react, he wrapped his arm around the waist of Rhonda’s purple V–neck silk dress and pulled her close. At the same time, he also grabbed the still–shaken Hazel, pressing both women against him.

“Let go of me!” Hazel shrieked.

She could feel his hand roaming over her slender waist, sending jolts through her body. She struggled desperately, every instinct screaming to break free, but she couldn’t escape his forceful grip.

Ashton smacked Hazel right on the backside, growling, “Quiet. Don’t you know that the loss means Mr. Vance has given you to me? From now on, I’m your master. My word is your command!”

“Who do you think you are to be my master, you bastard! Let go of me, you trash! You-”

Before Hazel could say anything else, Ashton smacked her right across the face, his eyes glinting dangerously. “Do you have a death wish?”

Hazel felt as though a cloud of murderous hostility had shrouded her. Her body shivered uncontrollably, her muscles weakening from fear. She couldn’t stop herself from slumping in his arms. Though her lips parted, she dared not utter another word.

Ashton was far too terrifying.

She had a strong feeling that if she tried to challenge him now, she would be punished severely.

Nevertheless, it was humiliating to be in his arms like that. She was the one who intended to torment him! How had things turned out this way instead?

“Save me, Flint…”

Rhonda trembled even more uncontrollably, her body almost spasming. Tears filled her eyes, which burned with hatred for Ashton.

“Mr. Vance can’t save you. He lost the bet, so he has to give you to me!” Ashton declared with a cackle.

Stroking Rhonda’s face, he said mockingly, “You tried to get them to kill me the moment I set foot into Grandcrest Estate. Do you think you won’t have to pay for that?

“I told you. Edmund got what he deserved. If you want to seek vengeance, you need to be able to handle the consequences of failing.”

He stared down at her, observing her alluring face. He only wanted to have Rhonda under his control for one very important reason–to get a better understanding of Flint through her.

“Flint…”

Rhonda dared not meet Ashton’s domineering eyes. Instead, she cast a pleading look at Flint as Ashton continued to toy with her.

Just then, a wave of murderous intent rose from all around as multiple pairs of fearsome eyes fell on Ashton.

Experts, both out in the open and hidden in the shadows, were making their presence known. This was Flint’s territory. Naturally, he had countless experts everywhere.

As long as he gave the command, they would surely surge forward to kill Ashton!
