Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385

A chilling silence settled over everyone. None of them could grasp the situation.

The world didn’t function on violence and bloodshed. A person’s background, influence, and connections mattered more.

So what kind of background or influence did Ashton have to make Tybalt and Cesar do the humiliating thing of getting on their knees and begging for mercy?

“Roxy… did you make a mistake by divorcing Ashton?”

Robert was covered in sweat, his fear for Ashton deepening. He no longer dared to underestimate Ashton. Roxy’s lips parted, but she couldn’t say anything. Her thoughts were a mess, too.

She looked toward Ashton, only to end up meeting his gaze. It was full of mockery and contempt. Not a single shred of love remained in his eyes.

It was never like this before.

Before the divorce, no matter when she looked at him, his gaze was always tender, filling her with strength and encouragement.

Was divorcing him truly a mistake?

Roxy wavered over the answer to this question. But soon, she stubbornly shook her head and said to Robert, “I did nothing wrong. I don’t regret a single thing!”

Looking at Roxy, Robert could only nod. She was far too proud and would never admit to having made a mistake, not unless Ashton completely destroyed her pride first.

On the side, Hester was trembling. After hurrying over to Martha, she tearfully grabbed Martha’s hand and pleaded, “I was wrong, Martha! I should never have said anything to Seth. I shouldn’t have gotten him to come over and deal with Ashton.

“But I did it all for your sake! Please forgive me just this once, okay? P–Please ask Ashton not to hold it against me!

She was genuinely terrified now. She had the feeling that even if Ashton killed her tonight, no one would hold him accountable for his actions.

As it was, she had no right to look down on him.

All she could do now was rest her hopes on Martha to help smooth over the conflict between her and Ashton.

However, Martha ignored Hester. She continued to stare at Ashton in adoration, her feelings for him intensifying. How she wished she could give herself entirely to him now

When she recalled what might be happening tonight, her eyes flickered. She pressed her legs together, her mind consumed with thoughts of him.

She was even more in love with him now.

Martha looked nothing like a famous superstar right now. She was just a young woman in love. She swore to herself that she would never let Ashton leave her side.

Straightening up, she puffed out her chest and flashed a taunting smile at Roxy.

The cold wind howled all around as Tybalt and Cesar continued to kneel on the ground. Although they felt humiliated, they knew they had to endure it. They’d chosen to go against the wrong person, so they had to pay the

price for their stupid mistake.

If Ashton had simply been a powerful martial arts expert, they wouldn’t have anything to fear. They wouldn’t be this panicked, either, if he were merely the deputy head of the Legion.

However, he was both, which made him terrifying. He was truly someone they couldn’t afford to offend.

Most importantly, they’d realized something crucial–Ashton had a limitless future ahead of him.

Even at such a young age, he possessed unthinkable cultivation and had the Legion’s Sigil in his hands. Surely he would become the head of the Legion in the future, with the entire Legion at his command.

They either had to have lost their minds or had a death wish to continue challenging someone like him. Even though it was mortifying to beg for mercy, at least their lives would be spared.

Staring down at them, Ashton put away the sigil before saying darkly, “Don’t you dare leak a single word about what happened today. If my identity is exposed, I’ll hold you two accountable.”
