Sylvia’s complexion was flushed and vibrant, a striking contrast to Roxy’s pale and drained appearance.

Roxy gazed at Sylvia and Ashton’s retreating figures, an unbidden sense of loss welling up within her.

That man, now walking beside Sylvia, had once treated Roxy as the absolute center of his universe. She used to be the figure both Sylvia and Martha bitterly envied, yet now, the tables had turned. She couldn’t help but feel a painful torrent of complicated feelings sweeping through her consciousness.

“Did I truly make a mistake?” Roxy kept questioning herself, a relentless, insistent force th

dissipate, surging through her consciousness.

Just as Roxy was deep in thought, Martha came up beside her. She looked slightly regretful but was still unable to conceal her happiness. She then whispered, “I’m grateful that you left Ashton, so can you please promise me never to get back together with him, Roxy?”

Roxy raised her head and looked directly at Martha. She still couldn’t fathom what compelling force Ashton possessed that captivated Martha so completely, inciting such a raw, overwhelming terror of his return to her. Sylvia had once said that same thing to her, too.

“I have no intention of going back to Ashton! I feel obligated to caution you, Ms. Stone–you shouldn’t be fooled by Ashton’s appearance! He is nowhere near the person you believe him to be, despite any assistance he might have given you in the past!” Roxy stated gravely.

“I’ll willingly embrace the deception for the rest of my life if that’s what Ashton wants!” Martha confessed, a deep, soft blush spreading across her cheeks–the unmistakable sign of a woman utterly smitten.

Roxy’s features twitched slightly, and an even more profound sense of hollowness settled in her heart.

Martha left moments later, her thoughts consumed by the thought that Sylvia had mentioned Ashton preferred black stockings. She began making concrete plans to acquire all the black stockings on the market. She wanted to ensure that Ashton saw her in a new, exciting style every single day.

In that instant, the conference room was left empty–save for Roxy and Anna–and the fierce wind that rushed in from outside produced a loud, howling sound.

Anna observed the crestfallen Roxy and murmured, “Ms. Sloan, the failure to secure Martha’s contract renewal means the strategic direction for both Summit Media and Summit Beauty must be urgently revised. I’m afraid this outcome will undoubtedly incur substantial corporate damage…‘

to minimize the financial damage.

“You ought to know that the promotional campaigns for Revita Serum and PureDew Mask must begin right away; we cannot afford any more delays!”

In the past, Roxy had largely dismissed Ashton’s threat. Yet, after the successful poaching of Martha, a profound crisis finally hit her. She finally understood that Ashton’s vow to bring Summit Beauty crashing down was a dire certainty, not an idle boast. He was, after all, a man of his word.

It was obvious that Ashton possessed supreme, even arrogant, confidence; he would never have issued the

warning otherwise. What exactly was Ashton’s trump card, though?

“You chose the wrong strategy and the wrong rival if you thought I’d be left trembling in fear, Ashton! Summit Beauty’s superior products, even without Martha’s endorsement, will leave all competitors in the dust!

“You’ll never surpass us, Ashton! I swear I will prevail in securing Celia’s custody!” Roxy’s fighting spirit returned in full force, backed by unwavering confidence,

Anna looked at Roxy, saying, “I feel compelled to mention something, but I am uncertain if I should voice it right now, Ms. Sloan,”

“Is this yet another attempt to convince me to go back to Ashton?” Roxy asked, knowing Ar had been a witness to virtually the entire decade of her relationship with Ashton, after all.

Anna nodded. “Have you considered that you were never this perpetually fatigued before you divorced Ashton, nor was managing Summit Group this challenging? I also honestly can’t recall the last time I saw a genuine, wholehearted smile from you, Ms. Sloan.”
