Sylvia leaned in and kissed Ashton, instantly regretting that her body was genuinely incapable of handling any further exertion. She could distinctly sense the unspent, passionate energy surging within Ashton, so she knew that she alone was not enough to satisfy him.
Ashton’s intensity went far beyond anything she had expected.
Sylvia shifted to a more comfortable position, running her fingers over Ashton’s tanned skin. She then said in a low and enticing voice, “You absolutely cannot afford to let that opportunity pass you by if Martha throws herself into your arms, Ashton.”
Ashton smiled faintly as he recalled the memory of him saving Martha, who was still a young adult back then. He chose not to dwell further on the matter, steering the conversation instead.
“I intend to launch an investment company soon–I’ve decided to name it Asvia Capital. I’ll formally acquire stakes in both Evermore Beauty and Evermore Media through this company.”
“Asvia Capital…” Sylvia repeated, her eyes glistening with unshed tears as she pulled Ashton into a much tighter embrace.
“Do you plan on offering your body to me again?” Ashton asked with a chuckle.
Sylvia whispered alluringly, “I’m thoroughly spent, so I don’t think that’ll do, Ashton. You can rest assured that I’ll make sure that you get Melody, though! She has an even better figure than I do, so I know you’ll thoroughly enjoy her!”
Ashton was rendered speechless.
The next day, Melody approached Sylvia, who was visibly leaning against the wall for support. She asked worriedly, “What’s the matter with you, Sylvia?”
“Oh, it’s nothing,” Sylvia replied dismissively, even as a faint tremor ran through her legs. She silently conceded the fact that she had definitely gone too far with Ashton the previous night.
She then looked over at the radiant Melody and said with a smile, “You should come over here, Melody; I’m going to tell you a story about a legend!”
“What kind of legend?” Melody asked, her gaze fixed on Sylvia’s face with suspicion. She noticed that Sylvia appeared more radiant and flushed, carrying a noticeable increase in feminine allure. Every subtle movement hinted at a captivating seduction.
“You see, there’s a man who, by the age of 20, had already established himself as a dominant, influential figure…
Sylvia began, her voice brimming with deep admiration as she recounted Ashton’s legend.
“How impressive!” Melody exclaimed, listening with rapt attention as her heart fluttered with excitement. She had always been drawn to legendary feats of heroism. She even found herself yearning for the man Sylvia was talking about, her gaze holding a burgeoning intensity.
“Has the legend captured your fancy?” Sylvia asked with a mischievous, knowing smile.

Melody asked with a slight pout, “Is there anyone who wouldn’t love a man like that, Sylvia?”
“That man is none other than Ashton,” Sylvia said softly.
Melody was startled. “Huh? You’ve got to be kidding me, Sylvia! How could someone like Ashton be that impressive!”
“You still haven’t seen half of what Ashton is capable of, Melody!” Sylvia’s legs tightened momentarily as she remembered Ashton’s overwhelming intensity the previous night, causing her cheeks to burn with a fresh blush. “You likely have no idea, but all those prominent figures you look up to now treat Ashton as their undisputed leader!”
Having said that, Sylvia chose to say no more. She was confident that by successfully fueling Melody’s curiosity, Melody would soon begin to investigate Ashton on her own, and in doing so, would inevitably become captivated by him.
“Ashton…” Melody murmured, her thoughts spinning into utter chaos. She recalled the singular intimate moment she had shared with Ashton, leaving her entirely swept away by a dizzying mix of passion and bewilderment.
Ashton soon descended the stairs, finding both Sylvia and Melody watching him with an inscrutable gaze. He couldn’t help but notice that the two sisters, standing together, each possessed a distinct and complementary charm, creating a striking, balanced beauty.
He suddenly found himself momentarily distracted by a few indecent images. He immediately forced the inappropriate thoughts from his mind, realizing he had let Sylvia corrupt his thinking.
“You and I should hurry over since Martha is likely already negotiating the renewal of the contract with Roxy right now, Ashton! I want nothing more than to sign Martha away from Summit Media! If we manage to pull this off, it’ll be a heavy blow to Roxy!
“Roxy has always come out ahead, and this time, I absolutely must poach this talent right in front of her face. You must help me, Ashton!” Sylvia pleaded, gazing at Ashton tenderly.
