Truthfully, Sylvia didn’t find Martha to be a considerable threat. The person she was the wariest of was still Roxy, the woman who had Ashton all to herself for ten years.
Yet, Sylvia soon breathed a sigh of relief. She could see that Ashton’s eyes were devoid of warmth. Those orbs held no lingering feelings for Roxy. Instead, they reflected a hint of disdain.
“The more I think about how well I’ve treated her in the past, the more I wish to crush her under my feet now.” Ashton let out a scoff and said, “Anna, I know you mean well. However, Ms. Sloan and I are simply enemies now.”
“I…”
“Anna, would you be interested in coming and working for me instead? I’ll offer you double your current pay, and you’ll also receive a year–end bonus annually.” Ashton went ahead and tried to poach Anna in front of Roxy.” Summit Group is destined for doom. There aren’t any good prospects if you continue to work for Roxy.”
“Ashton Gray! That’s enough!”
There was a loud bang as Roxy slammed her hand down on the table. The thought of possibly giving Ashton another chance had vanished entirely from her head.
“I’ve only lost once, and it’s not that big of a deal for Summit Group. I have the money and leisure to lose once or twice,” she said.
“You got it wrong, Roxy. It’s already your second time after this incident. Have you already forgotten about the failure of Summit Lounge?
“Speaking of which, I must thank you properly. After Evermore Club and Summit Lounge were merged, business has been booming, and our revenues have increased. We’re currently the number–one nightclub in Javonbury.”
The bright smile on Sylvia’s face and Roxy’s icy expression made an interesting contrast.
Roxy’s chest heaved as she said harshly, “You can have Summit Beauty if you can make us an offer that we find reasonable!”
Roxy didn’t want to waste more time on this matter. She would gladly admit her defeat.
With Summit Group providing strong backing and resources, Roxy could always take on another challenge. It was absolutely pointless for her to dwell on past failures.
That was one of Roxy’s strengths. She had always been quite decisive and rational in her actions.
“We’ll definitely come back to you with a price that you’re satisfied with.” Sylvia grinned.
“Anna, you deal with them regarding this.”
Roxy waved her hand dismissively. She refused to take in the smug looks on Ashton’s and Sylvia’s faces any longer.
“Mr. Gray and Ms. Langley… Please come this way.” Anna let out a deep sigh and forced a smile.
“Anna, you’re welcome to join us any time,” Ashton said with a smile..
“Mr. Gray, thank you for the kind offer. However, it was with Ms. Sloan’s help that I got to where I am today. I won’t ever betray her,” Anna said apologetically.
“I understand.” Ashton had no intention of staying any longer, since he had achieved his purpose in coming here.
Before leaving the place, he suddenly smiled enigmatically

While looking at the face that had once bewitched him, Ashton said mockingly, “You might have the time and money to lose once or twice, Roxy. Still, you won’t have enough for you to keep losing.
“I’ll give you another heads–up. The next one we’ll be bringing down is Summit Media.”
Roxy’s eyes narrowed. As expected, Ashton had made Summit Media his target.
It would only hurt Summit Group if anything bad happened to Summit Media.
“I’ll be looking forward to seeing how you’ll bring Summit Media down. We’ll see if you’re really capable of it,” Roxy said frigidly.
“It’ll happen very soon… Meanwhile, you should enjoy being gripped by horror and unease.”
Ashton snickered. “You won’t be able to keep Summit Group, nor will you be able to keep Celia by your side.”
“Roxy!”
Someone pushed the door open just then. Eunice was beaming as she walked into the room in long strides.
She had discovered arts compatible with the Detachment Technique for Roxy and wanted to personally train her to become a superb cultivator.
