“What if I told you I could make it happen?” Ashton asked with a smile as he gently lifted Sylvia’s chin.
Sylvia’s body trembled slightly, a rosy blush spreading across her cheeks. “What would you like to ask in return, Ashton?”
Ashton proposed, “If I pull this off, you have to promise not to get jealous about my other women! How does that sound?”
Sylvia offered a dazzling smile before saying, “I might feel a pang of jealousy, but I won’t get upset with you. You are so vigorous, so I know I simply can’t satisfy you all by myself, Ashton.”
She blushed after saying that, her eyes suddenly gleaming before adding, “If you genuinely manage to get Martha to sign with Evermore Media and secure her endorsement for our Complexion Elixir, I’ll give you a reward, Ashton.”
“What kind of reward?” Ashton asked.
Sylvia leaned into Ashton’s ear and whispered, “I’ll offer you Melody, my sister. How does that sound, Ashton?”
Ashton fell silent.
Sylvia exclaimed with a grin, “It’s decided then! If you don’t claim Melody, we’ll be forced to continue meeting like clandestine lovers every night, Ashton–unable to ever casually relax in the main common areas together…”
Ashton stated, “Let’s just put this off for now, Sylvia.”
“I’ve made up my mind regardless!” Sylvia declared before turning to rest on Ashton’s chest, listening intently to the beat of his heart.
She then asked, “What makes you so certain you can convince Martha to leave Summit Media for Evermore Media, Ashton? You’re surely not going to tell me that Martha is one of your women, too, right?”
“Of course not!” Ashton replied.
Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “That’s good, then.”
“Martha certainly harbors the desire to become my woman, though,” Ashton added.
“W–What?” Sylvia widened her eyes in surprise before asking with suspicion, “What exactly is going on here, Ashton? It’s widely known that numerous wealthy heirs pursued Martha over the years, yet she never showed interest in any of them, nor did she ever have a scandal.

“There were even rumors about Martha being a lesbian and that she had feelings for Roxy, as she was frequently spotted in Roxy’s company.”
“It’s possible that Martha sought out Roxy because of me,” Ashton stated faintly.
Sylvia looked straight into Ashton’s eyes, finding her curiosity heightened after realizing that Ashton wasn’t bluffing. “You can’t just leave me hanging like that, Ashton! You have to tell me the whole story!”
Ashton replied with a smile, “It’s quite straightforward, really. I saved Martha’s life, just as I did yours. I also funded her education at Casoria Media Arts University, essentially freeing her from her previous life in the

“I certainly never anticipated that the young woman back then would ascend to such superstardom!”
“H–Huh?” Sylvia stammered, clinging to Ashton with a pouting expression. “How many people have you rescued over the years, Ashton?”
Ashton gently stroked Sylvia’s head, replying, “I had nothing much going on in the past few years, so I quietly dedicated my time to rescuing and assisting a few people. It’s quite a substantial number–likely between 800 and 1,000 people. I had a lot of free time, so I thought I’d make use of it to make the world a slightly better place.
“I never knew this about you! What am I supposed to do now that I love you even more, Ashton?” Sylvia continuously shot flirtatious glances at Ashton. Even though her body was already utterly exhausted, she still found herself desiring more of him.
It was only after a prolonged, intimate interlude that Sylvia finally lay, spent yet content, in Ashton’s embrace. She then asked, “Does that mean Martha stayed with Summit Media all this time, not because of Roxy, but because of you, Ashton? Does that also mean she stayed close to Roxy to gather details about your life?”
Ashton replied, “That should be the case!”
Sylvia’s eyes immediately lit up. “Martha had been filming abroad and probably hadn’t heard about your divorce from Roxy. If that’s the case, if the news were to reach her, wouldn’t she end her contract with Summit Media and come straight to you in a heartbeat, Ashton?”
“It’s been a long time since I last reached out to Martha, so I truly have no idea what her current feelings or intentions are,” Ashton replied.
Sylvia’s expression brightened instantly. “I know Martha is set to re–sign with Summit Media tomorrow, Ashton! They’ll be finalizing the contract at Sunfall Crown Hotel, so we’ll intercept them there! I absolutely can’t wait to see the expression on Roxy’s face when she’s defeated! It excites me just thinking about it!
“It would be absolutely hilarious if Martha were to rush into your arms tomorrow, Ashton! Roxy–that foolish woman–had no idea the man she dismissed was the ultimate prize for so many women! I’ll accompany you tomorrow, Ashton; we’ll ensure that Martha signs with Evermore Media!”
