Chapter 397
Sylvia and Martha radiated different charms, and their soft voices sounded like heavenly melodies. Their eyes sparkled with allure as they looked at Ashton.
This was the first time Ashton truly felt
uneasy.
These two were definitely doing it on purpose—they were trying to make him embarrassed. They really needed to be taught a lesson!
Ashton shot them a fierce glare. Of course, he wasn’t going to reply to those damning questions. He quickly switched topics and said seriously, “Sit down. Let’s get back to business.
“This time, we must destroy Summit Beauty completely and make sure Roxy has no chance to recover. At the same time, Evermore Beauty has to seize this opportunity to rise quickly and dominate the beauty market.”
Ashton was extremely short on cash right now.
Wealth came first, even in cultivation. He had nearly broken through the final bottleneck of the divine realm. He wanted to produce more pills to prepare for whatever might come.
Besides, more powerful followers were gathering around him, and Ashton didn’t want a bunch of weaklings as his supporters. He needed to help them improve their cultivation levels too.
That was also a way to intimidate and control them.
“Ashton, what should we do?”
Turning to serious matters, Sylvia changed the way she addressed Ashton. She couldn’t keep calling him “babe”, or it would lose its charm.
Sylvia had studied carefully how to tempt Ashton and knew exactly how to keep the balance.
“Ashton, I’ll do whatever you say.” Martha’s eyes constantly sparkled, as if only Ashton existed within her gaze.
Ashton smiled. “We won’t do anything for now. Let things play out for a bit.”
“What?” Sylvia was surprised.
“Ashton, if we don’t act now, Summit Beauty’s products will quickly take over the market. Once their reputation and popularity rise, it’ll be hard to catch up.”
Sylvia sighed. “Even though Roxy is stupid, she really has strong business execution skills. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have built Summit Group into what it is today. Evermore Group has been under pressure from her for a long time.”
At the mention of this, she leaned close to Ashton and said in an adorable tone, “Ashton, you have to avenge me.
“Don’t worry. Summit Group’s collapse is imminent.”
As Ashton took in the faint, distinct natural fragrances of Sylvia and Martha beside him, the Drakell technique within him began to stir restlessly.
These two women were constantly tempting him.
He composed himself and said, “We’ll let her have the early advantage and get that illusion of victory first. Then she’ll keep pouring money into expanding her distribution channels and production. When Summit Beauty is flourishing, I will shatter all its product reputation and popularity.”
Sylvia and Martha both lit up after understanding Ashton’s plan.

They would make Roxy’s sunk costs keep rising until she reached her limit. If her products stopped selling in the end, it would be a disaster. The bankruptcy and collapse of Summit Beauty would happen in an instant.
Sylvia stared at Ashton dreamily, feeling increasingly draw to his mysterious charm.
Just then, Martha said seriously, “But the problem is, can our products really crush Revita Serum and PureDew Mask? I’ve tried the samples Roxy gave me, and those two products are actually excellent. With her marketing skills, they would be a huge hit if nothing got in the way.”
