Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 389

Chapter 389

Ashton held Martha tightly, admiring her breathtaking beauty.

“Babe…”

Martha’s sweet voice carried a hint of shyness, and her body trembled slightly in Ashton’s arms. Thoughts of what the night might hold stirred in her mind, filling her with excitement and anticipation.

“Mr. Gray, please forgive me this once! Don’t push me away from Martha!” Hester pleaded desperately.

After some thought, Ashton turned to Martha. “What do you think?”

He left the decision to her.

Seeing Hester’s earnest begging, Martha relented. She whispered, “Babe, Hester’s been with me for a long time. Except for tonight, she’s always treated me well, so…”

Ashton relented, “Okay, she can stay as your manager, but…”

His gaze grew cold as he stared at Hester. “I don’t forgive people twice, so if you try to be clever again, don’t blame me for what happens.”

“I swear I won’t mess up again! I’ll listen to everything you say, Mr. Gray! I’ll dedicate myself fully to Martha.”

Hester was deeply thankful.

She feared Ashton’s revenge. If it came, she might not see another sunrise.

Tonight’s events had carved a deep respect and fear of Ashton into her very bones. At the same time, she was genuinely happy for Martha for finally having someone to protect her.

The only problem was that Ashton seemed to have too many women.

“Alright, show’s over!” Ashton announced.

His hand roamed Martha’s slender waist. On their way back to the villa, they happened to pass by Roxy and Robert.

Ashton stopped in his tracks and locked eyes with Roxy.

There was an electric spark between them, like fireworks exploding silently. The air grew ice–cold, as if the world froze in that instant.

Robert, who had always looked down on Ashton, forced a smile and called out, “Ashton…

After everything that had happened recently, he was genuinely afraid of Ashton. What if Ashton held a grudge and acted against him?

With Ashton’s rising power, maybe patching things up could benefit him.

“Shoosh! We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Don’t talk to me!” Ashton snapped coldly.

Robert’s expression froze for a moment, but he no longer dared to act arrogantly, so he forced an awkward smile. ” You’ll always be my brother–in–law. Actually, you and Roxy can still talk things out, right? Maybe there was some misunderstanding before.”

Robert secretly hoped Roxy and Ashton would get back together. If they did, he could ride Ashton’s coattails. After all, even Seth now saw Ashton as his boss.

“There’s no misunderstanding.”

Roxy was the first to break eye contact. Her voice was icy as she said, “Robert, Ashton and I are divorced. He’s not worthy to be your brother–in–law.”

“Roxy…”

Robert felt his heart twist.

If he’d known how powerful Ashton was, he wouldn’t have stirred things up between them; perhaps things wouldn’t have ended in such bitter hatred then.

“Roxy’s right. I’m not worthy to be your brother–in–law.” Ashton sneered.

Roxy looked at Martha nestled in Ashton’s arms, then at Ashton’s defiant, cold eyes. A surge of anger rose within her as she said coldly, “Ashton! Did you come here to show off in front of me?”
