Roxy said gravely, “Ashton, considering how you’ve humiliated Seth, do you r let things slide? You know nothing about the power and influence that the Four possess. You can’t take on the Jensens!

“Since they’re not here yet, you should seize this chance to leave Javonbury for good. Change your name, hide your identity, and don’t ever come back!”
“I’m not the one who doesn’t know about the Jensen family’s power and influence,” Ashton replied calmly.” You’re the one who knows nothing about my power.”
Chuckling, he added, “You came to see me humiliated, didn’t you? What a shame. You won’t be able to see that.”
“You overestimate yourself, Ashton!” Roxy retorted coldly. “I’ll admit that you’re stronger than the average man, but you attacked the Southern Troops! How can you go up against an entire army? Who can protect you from their wrath? If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late!”
She couldn’t understand how Ashton managed to remain this cocky!
“The word ‘leave‘ doesn’t exist in my dictionary,” Ashton declared arrogantly.
“You’re hopeless, Ashton! You’d better not say I didn’t warn you!” Roxy fumed.
“Why waste your breath on him, Roxy? Pride comes before the fall. Let’s just see how he intends to save himself once the Jensens and the Southern Troops arrive.
“We should stay far away from him so that we don’t get mistaken as being associated with him! We wouldn’t want to be caught in the crossfire,” Robert said as he pulled her aside.
He couldn’t wait to witness Ashton’s tragic end. He simply couldn’t stand the sight of Ashton’s arrogance.
“Martha, hurry up and cut off all ties with Ashton, or else, he’ll drag you down with him! If you offend the Southern Troops, they might ruin your career by getting you blacklisted!” Hester road.
She reached out to pull Martha away, but Martha avoided her.
“I’m sorely disappointed in you, Hester!” Martha said, eyeing Hester coldly.
All along, she’d trusted Hester completely. Never would she have expected Hester to do something that would harm Ashton. She couldn’t accept that!
“From now on, you’re no longer my manager, Hester. Our relationship ends now!” she declared.
“What are you saying, Martha? Can’t you see that I’m doing this for your own good?” Hester exclaimed in disbelief. “You saw it yourself, Martha! Ashton attacked Seth and the Southern Troops. There’s no way he’s living past tonight. If you stay with him, you’ll be dragged down, too!”
“I don’t need you to do any more of your so–called concern for my own good, Hester!” Martha resolutely declared. “I have complete faith in Ashton. I know he’ll be able to turn the tide in his favor. And even if something happens to him, I’m staying with him anyway. I’m never going to abandon him!”
Roxy was dumbstruck. She couldn’t figure out why Martha would be this devoted to Ashton and even be willing

Gnashing her teeth, Hester took her anger out on Ashton. “If you’re a real man, / down with you! You should deal with your problems yourself!”

“You people know nothing,” Ashton remarked before shaking his head.
He didn’t care to explain any further.
“They’re here!”
Robert’s expression stiffened as he quickly dragged Roxy to the side, keeping a distance from Ashton.
“That’s the Southern Troop’s banner!” he exclaimed in shock. “And there’s also a large group of experts who work for the Jensens. There’s got to be hundreds of them. They’ve mobilized every expert they have!
“We need to back away, Roxy. We mustn’t have anything to do with Ashton. He’s screwed now!”
Seth, who’d been scowling the whole time while keeping his head down, abruptly burst into raucous laughter.
“You’re dead meat now, Ashton!”
Struggling to his feet, he spat out some blood before fixing his bloodshot eyes on Ashton, his gaze burning with hatred.
Hester’s face turned deathly pale when she recognized the figures at the front. She cried out in panic, “Martha! That’s Tybalt Jensen, Seth’s grandpa! He’s the pillar of the Jensen family and a legendary figure.
“And beside him is Cesar Jensen, the deputy commander of the Southern Troops. He holds immense power can command an entire army! They’re both here! Ashton has no way out. You have to come with me, now!”
and
Genuinely terrified, Hester tried to drag Martha away from Ashton by force. Ashton was a walking disaster right now. Anyone associated with him would be in huge trouble.
“I’m not going anywhere!” Martha stubbornly remained beside Ashton. “I won’t le work so hard just to get to be with him…”
