Chapter 369
Roxy was also startled to hear that. Only then did she realize that it really had been ages since she last laughed so freely.
She’d been wound tight lately, running herself ragged with work. Truth be told, she felt exhausted.
“You were always relaxed back when you were with Mr. Gray, Ms. Sloan. I really don’t know what irreconcilable conflict happened between you two, but there’s one thing I do know. When you were with him, you are happy, “Anna said.
Roxy was silent.
“People often say that even when married couples fight, they’ll always end up making up, Ms. Sloan. If there’s still a chance, I truly hope you can talk things out properly with Mr. Gray. Maybe there’s some kind of misunderstanding between you two…” Anna earnestly gave her advice.
“That’s enough, Anna. Don’t ever say that again,” Roxy interjected, her expression frosty.
As it was, considering the situation, how could Roxy not know that she had underestimated Ashton before, and that she had overlooked how important he was?
At the very least, Ashton was in no way worse than her first love, Calvin.
If all of those incidents hadn’t occurred between her and Ashton, perhaps there might’ve been a chance for them to get back together. But now, the rift between them could never be repaired.
The only things that remained between them were resentment and contempt.
“Do you really think you did nothing wrong, Ms. Sloan? It might be hard to see the whole picture when you’re in the middle of it, but those on the outside, like me, can see things clearly!”
Anna still wanted to make one last attempt.
Roxy’s eyes darkened as she growled, “Even if I did make a mistake, that’s my choice. I’d rather stick to it than admit I was wrong to Ashton!”
She was an ambitious woman. She would prove to the whole world that even if Ashton truly became a powerful man, she would still achieve heights even greater than his. And in the end, it would still be Ashton who wasn’t worthy of her!
It was her pride that had kept her going this far. She would never lose her pride and dignity in front of Ashton!
“I need to find a chance to see whether I have any talent for martial arts cultivation… It’s techniques Eunice gave me!” Roxy mumbled to herself.

The higher she climbed, the more clearly she understood the power dynamics of this world.
Authority was only one part of the equation. A person’s individual strength was an important factor as well.
“If I could possess Ashton’s level of strength and cultivation, what right would he have to get cocky in front of me?”
Roxy’s desire to begin her martial arts cultivation journey burned hotter than ever.

As the night dragged on, Ashton and Sylvia successfully registered Asvia Capital and dealt with the paperwork for the launch of the Complexion Elixir. All they had to do now was announce the product spokesperson, and it would be officially launched to the market.
“Ashton, after the way you wore me out last night, I still need to prop myself against the wall just to walk. You should go to Martha instead. I know all too well what’s on her mind…”
Under the moonlight, Sylvia’s smile looked breathtaking.
Ashton felt a little jolt in his heart as he took in her gorgeous face–and the unabashed adoration
ship
Ever since the divorce from Roxy, he’d sealed off his heart against romance. No matter how woman was, he maintained the same attitude. He chose not to initiate anything, not to take an seriously, and not to reject any woman who made advances on him. To him, it all became nothing more than a
game.
But now…
He realized he was touched by Sylvia’s passionate, selfless love for him.
Ashton quickly put an end to that thought. He was destined to a life of casual relationships. He wasn’t going to tie himself down to anyone again.
“Just you wait, Ashton. I’ll hook you up with Melody,” Sylvia said with a bright smile before waving goodbye.
As he watched her leave, he chuckled before heading over to Martha’s place.
Outside the villa, he ran into Hester.
