Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 390

Chapter 390

“If you think so, then yeah. I am showing off,” Ashton said with a teasing smile. “I did want to see the look of shock and fear on your face. It really brightens my mood.”

At that moment, Martha spoke softly. “Babe, let’s go home.

Her crimson cheeks betrayed a shy look.

Babe?

Upon hearing the wildly popular Martha call Ashton “babe both Roxy and Robert froze. Their eyes widened in disbelief.

If anyone else heard that, Ashton would instantly become a public enemy, hated to death by countless men.

Anyone could see that Martha’s love–struck expression wasn’t fake.

Roxy felt a sharp pain in her chest, like she’d been struck with a hammer. She had thought she could remain calm, but seeing Ashton and Martha’s intimacy and hearing Martha use that once–exclusive term made her emotions

churn.

“Alright.” Ashton’s soft voice was completely different from how he spoke to Roxy.

“Stop right there!”

Roxy’s chest rose and fell as she struggled to steady herself. Her voice was firm as she continued, “Ashton, you can just start a new life. There’s no need to fight me over Celia’s custody.”

Ashton looked at Roxy’s beautiful face and mocked, “What, afraid you’ll lose? Afraid that your precious Summit Group will collapse in a year and you’ll never see Celia again?”

“Lose to you? You’re way too confident,” Roxy shot back coolly.

Ashton’s voice was icy as he said, “Since that’s the case, there’s no point for us to talk. Let everything proceed according to our agreement. Remember, I’ll take everything that’s yours. That’s what you owe me. So go ahead and wait in fear for your downfall.”

He had given everything for Roxy, only to be betrayed. If she didn’t pay the price, he could never find peace. “Ashton! You really think you’re unstoppable now?” Roxy snapped. “You think signing Martha means you can destroy Summit Beauty? You’re dead wrong. Let me tell you, I’ve got two products launching soon.

“They’ll sweep the entire beauty industry. Your Evermore Beauty with Sylvia isn’t even close to a threat. My empire’s about to grow bigger than ever. You’ll never beat me. And you’ll never take Celia away from me!”

“Roxy, you know, the more you scream, the more you sound like a clown. The more you try to prove something, the more it shows how scared you really are.”

A smirk pulled at Ashton’s lips. He closed in on Roxy again, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure. “I feel your fear. Keep feeling it, because everything you dread will come true. Your fate was sealed the moment you chose to divorce me.”

With that, Ashton led Martha into the villa without another glance at Roxy.

He wouldn’t show her any mercy. The more terrified she was, the sweeter his revenge. He would never forgive her. Watching Ashton and Martha disappear inside, Roxy stumbled and nearly fell.

Tonight, she had come to see Ashton humiliated, but it was she who ended up humiliated.
