Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 419

Chapter 419

Ashton declared with a grin, “I took Rhonda and Hazel right out from under the Sage’s nose! That’s why the Sage has such a grudge against me! He wants me dead!”

Elise and Whitney were shaken to their very cores as they studied Ashton closely. They realized that Ashton was probably telling the truth.

“Why don’t you come to my side as well? I guarantee that as long as I am here, the Sage wouldn’t be able to lay a finger on Blossom Hall, nor you. I’ll protect you from here on out, Ms. Haywood!” Ashton declared to Elise, his words firm and resolute.

That remark sent a subtle tremor through Elise’s body. She had never heard such a remark from anyone after falling under the Sage’s control. She fixed her eyes on Ashton, her gaze growing increasingly complex.

In the next instant, a shadow of melancholy quickly swept through Elise’s eyes before she composed herself and shook her head.

“You jest, Mr. Gray. You and I should just get back to the matter at hand. Blossom Hall genuinely wishes to invest in Evermore Beauty and acquire the formula for the Complexion Elixir. I hope you’ll reconsider the terms, Mr. Gray.”

“I’ve already laid out my terms, Ms. Haywood,” Ashton stated flatly, his tone carrying a weight that brooked no argument.

He made it clear that the matter was not up for debate and that he wouldn’t budge from his original position.

Elise smiled faintly, saying, “If that’s the case, then I’ll give it some thought as well. Why don’t you make yourself comfortable at Blossom Hall for the time being, Mr. Gray? I’ll even have Whitney attend to your needs to show how much we value this negotiation. You surely wouldn’t turn us down, right, Mr. Gray?”

Ashton was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Elise actually to suggest having Whitney serve him, thinking that Elise was getting too far.

He realized that something was off, wondering if Elise was planning to lure him in and control him through seduction.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, finally realizing Elise’s plan–she was resorting to Blossom Hall’s specialty since their negotiations had reached a deadlock. He decided he would play along and see where this went if that was

the case.

Elise added, “You ought to know that Whitney is still a virgin, waiting to give away her first time to the most esteemed guest of the Blossom Hall. I’m quite certain you will find her to your liking!”

Ashton glanced at Whitney’s bombshell figure before turning his gaze back to the curvaceous Elise. He then said with a smile, “It would be rude for me to decline such a gracious offer from you, Ms. Haywood. I must admit, though the one I desire most is still you, Ms. Haywood!”

“You shameless scoundrell” Whitney spat, her eyes burning with hatred as she glared at him,

She was already planning her revenge the moment they had him subdued and at their mercy, she vowed to make him pay for every word of his disrespect with the most soul–crushing humiliation possible.

Elise licked her lips, the memory of her closeness with Ashton earlier bringing a brief lush to her cheeks. She instantly suppressed the feeling and said coldly, “You may go rest now, Mr. Gray.”

Ashton nodded in assent. He was genuinely curious to see what kind of games these women from the Blossom Hall were planning to pull.

He was soon led into an elegant, antique–styled room. It was spacious, with a large, soft bed. The air was also filled with a delicate fragrance that stirred a restless heat within the body.

He had just crossed the threshold when a wave of absolute tranquility washed over him. His guard, which had been up, dropped precipitously, making him feel as though he had stepped into a hidden paradise.

“Please wait a moment, as our deputy head, Ms. Wright, will be here shortly, Mr. Gray.”

It was then that a charming woman cast Ashton a coquettish glance and then departed with a gentle sway of her graceful figure.

“It turns out Whitney is actually the deputy head of Blossom Hall! It just keeps getting more interesting!” Ashton exclaimed, having long since seen through Elise and Whitney’s intentions.

They surely expected him to be on his guard, but they also knew that no man alive could turn down a temptation like this.

In the end, men were creatures of ego; they always believed they were the exception to the rule. That was exactly how those high–flying tycoons and martial arts experts had ended up ruined–their own arrogance made them easy prey for the Blossom Hall to devour.

Ashton, seated on the edge of the bed, channeled his inner energy. He let the Drakeborne lineage within him

surge

and seethe, while he maintained absolute rationality at all times. He might have been a man who enjoyed the company of women, but he was far from a slave to his primal instincts.

“Mr. Gray…”

A moment later, a low, melodic voice drifted through the room as the door clicked shut behind Whitney. She had changed into a purple strapless nightgown and crystal high heels. She walked gracefully toward Ashton, her alluring eyes sparkling and her red lips irresistibly captivating.

She then tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and said, “Ms. Haywood has sent me to look after you tonight, Mr. Gray. I truly hope you’ll reconsider and entrust Blossom Hall with the Complexion Elixir formula.

“If you hand that formula over to us, we’ll spare no effort to ensure your absolute pleasure and satisfaction.”
