Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 445

An impending sense of doom seemed to cloak the entirety of Blossom Hall.

“They’re finally here. What excellent timing. I’ve pretty much recovered all of my strength,” Ashton remarked.

He got to his feet and flashed a smile at Elise and Whitney. “Look at those worried faces of yours. It makes my heart ache. Why don’t we make a bet?”

“What bet?”

“If I survive tonight and manage to protect Blossom Hall as well, ensuring that neither of you ever gets controlled by anyone else again, you’ll have to address me as darling from now on. That’s not too much to ask for, right?” Ashton suggested with a grin.

“So be it, but you’d better make it out alive. Otherwise, you’d be dragging Elise and me down with you!” Whitney said darkly.

Deep down, she was extremely worried about Ashton. She didn’t want anything to happen to him.

Elise’s cheeks were burning. She was mortified at the idea of calling him “darling“. Why did it seem as though he was certain he would win this bet?

But at a time like this, she had no choice but to agree to it as well.

After all, as long as he made it out alive, it wouldn’t even be a big deal to sleep with him, let alone call him darling. Everything was up for discussion, so long as they stayed alive.

And if they had to die, they would just die together!

Outside Blossom Hall, the air was thick with murderous intent.

Cornelius arrived first with the experts of the Jalunese Martial Academy. Flint followed up with a group of his trusted elites. Soon after, Ronan also arrived with a group of vanguards.

“What exactly is going on here?” Ronan asked, his voice grave.

He was a man with firm brows and glinting eyes. A sword hung from the belt around his waist.

“Ashton Gray killed my son, Mr. Hopper. He must die for that!” Comelius gr

growled.

Nodding, Flint declared, “We’ll seek justice on your behalf, Cornelius. Ashton Gray is an arrogant and domineering man. He needs to die today!”

“Let’s go in. I want to kill Ashton myself. But before he dies, I’ll make sure he suffers the excruciating torment of the Heart–Devouring Parasite!”

Cornelius was the first to lead the assault, charging into Blossom Hall with his experts from the Jalunese Martial Academy.

Flint and Ronan, along with their men, followed close behind.

Irina was smiling curiously as she tagged along, keen to see what Ashton was up to now. Based on her understanding of him, he didn’t seem like someone who’d be this reckless.

Why was he putting himself in such a perilous situation?

Murderous energy filled the air as Cornelius, Flint, and Ronan–three powerful experts–unleashed their terrifying presence the moment they entered Blossom Hall.

The moment everyone set foot in the place, they saw the gorgeous Elise and Whitney leaning against Ashton- one on each side–massaging his arms and shoulders. Their faces were flushed with the bliss of a woman in love.

Behind them, the rest of the women held their ground, their expressions firm. It was clear they’d made up their minds to stand with Ashton no matter what.

Everyone was stunned to see this. They started exchanging glances.

Wasn’t Flint the one who had power over Blossom Hall? Wasn’t Elise supposed to be his lover?

And yet, she was practically pressing herself against Ashton, her chest flush against his arm, looking like a devoted wife who was tending to her husband.

Did Ashton make a cuckold out of Flint?

Everyone’s eyes widened at that thought. The thirst for gossip was whipped up at once, thanks to this startling piece of news!

“That’s Ashton Gray, right? Rumor has it he stole Rhonda Lott, another one of the Sage’s lovers, and even took the Sage’s daughter, Hazel Vance, away as well. I don’t know if it’s true, though. The rumors had been completely suppressed.”

“It can’t be true. It’d be insane if it were!”

“Elise and Whitney are massaging him right now. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it either…”

“Setting everything aside, you’ve got to admit that he’s one lucky bastard when it comes to women. Such a shame that he’s about to die.

“What gave him the nerve to offend the Sage, the Jalunese Martial Academy, and the Dominion Vanguard all at once? And he’s not even making a run for it, too. He’s gutsy, alright!‘
