Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406

Roxy had a frigid expression on her face as she asked, “Why are you two here?”

“You’re so cold to us, Roxy.” Sylvia ran her tongue over her lips, feeling a sense of thrill and satisfaction.

In the past, she could only watch as the Summit Group grew and expanded. Sylvia failed to keep up with the Summit Group’s development, even when she gave her all.

Initially, Sylvia thought she might never achieve the level of success Roxy had.

To her surprise, Roxy was actually dumb enough to divorce Ashton.

Sylvia would always wake up with a smile on her face whenever she dreamed about it. She couldn’t believe that someone would actually do something so stupid.

“Roxy, we’re here to help you.” Sylvia finally replied to her question.

“Help me? How are you going to help me?” Roxy let out a soft snort, and she couldn’t help stealing a glance at Ashton out of the corners of her eyes.

But that only made her feel worse, as she noticed Ashton only stood there and did nothing while Sylvia mocked and ridiculed her. It seemed as though Ashton really saw her as an enemy now, with how his eyes were completely devoid of warmth and emotion.

All along, Roxy had this strange belief that Ashton was doing all these things to irk her and get her back by using a different approach. That would explain why Ashton was now awfully close to Sylvia and Martha and why he was so set on punishing her.

Yet, Roxy felt her heart sink. Could it be that Ashton seriously no longer had any feelings for her?

In the last ten years, Roxy never had to worry about Ashton leaving her for good. Yet, this time, she realized she had pushed Ashton so far away that she no longer had a hold on him.

Feelings of regret rose within her. For a moment, Roxy was overcome with anger and remorse. She rose to her feet and went up to Ashton.

Roxy said monotonously, “Ashton Gray, you must be feeling pretty good about yourself for you to be helping another woman ruin my business. Are you here to make me suffer even more humiliation?”

“You can say whatever you want.” Ashton couldn’t be bothered in the slightest. Roxy could no longer affect his emotions since he had stopped loving her.

Still, he felt a slight sense of satisfaction from getting his revenge when he noticed Roxy seemed to be on the brink of having a mental breakdown.

Her brows were drawn together in a deep frown. She stared at Ashton’s deep–set eyes for a long time and eventually confirmed that there was no longer any affection for her in those orbs.

At that moment, the Detachment Technique that Roxy had cultivated was suddenly activated. Some of the spiritual energy from the surroundings were absorbed into her body and quickly dissolved in her flesh and blood.

A sacred, white light emanated from Roxy’s body.

“Huh?” Ashton’s eyes narrowed. He stared at the white light coming from Roxy for quite some time.

What surprised him even more was that the Drakeborne lineage existing in his body felt like a fire that was growing bigger and slowly spreading through his system as the white light surrounding Roxy became purer.

For a while, Ashton felt really hot and uncomfortable. The Drakell technique was activated.

Somehow, the two techniques Ashton and Roxy each possessed were reacting to each other in a strange way.

It felt as though they repelled and attracted each other at the same time. It was as if they were lovers, yet also each other’s nemesis.

“Ashton…” Sylvia called his name in a soft voice.

It was only then that Ashton suppressed the Drakeborne lineage surging through his body. He frowned as he looked at Roxy.

He could tell that Roxy had probably had an unusual encounter and that the bloodline power within her had been awakened. Also, she had already begun cultivating.

As expected of the woman Ashton had fallen in love with at first sight, Roxy wasn’t just an ordinary person.

Meanwhile, Roxy had a cold, steely look in her eyes. She could also sense that tempting yet repulsive aura coming from Ashton.

“Are you alright?” Sylvia was worried.

“I’m alright.”

Ashton snapped out of his daze. Sure, he just confirmed that Roxy had started cultivating. But what about it?
