Chapter 470
Behind Robert, Renee came running over with a conflicted look on her face.
Raising his brows, Ashton remarked to Robert in an indifferent tone, “Not once in the last decade have you ever treated me like your brother–in–law, so why are you doing it now? Besides, why should I save some vicious hag who cursed me out and humiliated both my mother and me? Get out of my way!”
Robert’s expression darkened, but after considering Ashton’s strength, he dared not act as arrogantly as he did in the past. He could only plead again, “Please, just do it for Renee’s sake and check on my mother. After all, she’s Renee’s mother, too. What do you say?”
Ashton frowned.
Renee was the only one he cared about in the entire Sloan family. After recalling the way she’d professed her love for him back then, he wavered a little.
“Renee! Get over here and beg Ashton to help!” Robert quickly cried out.
Renee approached Roxy and asked quietly, “Roxy, have you admitted that you were wrong to Ashton yet?”
“I…”
Roxy didn’t know how to respond. In the end, she simply scoffed, declaring, “He just wants to see me humiliated. Even if I admit that I was wrong, he still won’t bother to save Mom!”
“Ashton’s not like that,” Renee corrected.
Roxy simply shook her head. “You’re still young. That’s why he managed to fool you. You haven’t seen his true colors yet!”
Renee sighed. She knew the rift between her Roxy and Ashton had grown too wide to mend.
After walking up to Ashton, she deliberated for some time before slowly explaining, “Ashton, I’ll ask Roxy and my mom to apologize to you, so can you please check on my mom? She’s really… in a bad way.”
Regardless of everything, Tanya was still Renee’s mother. She couldn’t just stand back and let Tanya die without trying to help her.
Ashton hesitated.
“Don’t bother begging him for help, Renee! He’s as vicious as a viper. He’ll only be happy once he sees that every single one of us has died off. Let’s go!” Roxy growled.
Renee’s eyes flashed with disappointment.
“Fine. I’ll take a look at her for your sake, Renee, but I make no promises as to whether I can save her life,” Ashton said.
“You’re the best, Ashton!”
Renee’s face lit up with a brilliant smile, while Roxy’s heart twisted in pain.
Ashton had once worshipped the ground she walked on, fulfilling her every request. Yet now, he was being nothing but cruel toward her. He wouldn’t even bother to spare her a glance, but he was showering Renee with such care and concern.
The stark contrast in his attitude deeply upset her. She felt both hurt and jealous.
“Wait for me at home, Sylvia. I’ll be right there,” Ashton said gently.

After nodding obediently, Sylvia leaned in and whispered seductively, “I’ll put on a black lingerie set and wait for you, babe. There’ll be another surprise for you, too…”
Ashton’s lust flared. Sylvia really was such a temptress!
Roxy felt even more uncomfortable when she saw Ashton and Sylvia flirting. She couldn’t help but wonder what things would’ve been like if she hadn’t divorced him.
This time, the regret she felt was even stronger than ever before.
However, the proud Roxy suppressed that feeling, turning the regret she felt into a surge of hatred instead. She was even determined to prove that she wasn’t wrong.
Moments later, Ashton followed the Sloans into the Sloan residence.
As soon as he did, he heard Tanya screaming like a tortured animal. Plenty of doctors were gathered inside, but they all stood helplessly to the side, shaking their heads.
None of them knew what to do about Tanya’s condition. They couldn’t even alleviate her pain.
