Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 589

Chapter 589

“You know how strong I am, Leona. How can Ashton possibly challenge me?” Clay argued in displeasure. “Besides, what can possibly be off about this situation?”

As she looked at the arrogant Clay, Leona compared him to Ashton before scoffing. “Mr. Lademan, don’t you think the Legion has been acting a little unusual lately?

“They’ve been constantly provoking us for the past three days and deliberately antagonizing us. They’ve also placed heavy bets on Ashton winning. It’s almost as if… they’re blatantly trying to set us up!”

Her eyes flickered as she continued, “The betting pool for this match has skyrocketed to 30 billion dollars, and it’s still rising rapidly. Someone is definitely fanning the flames behind the scenes.

“Based on my understanding of the Legion, they would never dare to act like this if they didn’t have absolute confidence in winning. In fact, this match has felt off to me from the moment it was set up. I keep feeling that… they’re using Clay like a cash cow to make a killing.”

“Leona! What kind of nonsense is that?” Clay fumed. “How could I be some kind of cash cow? I’m definitely going to kill Ashton within mere seconds today and bring glory to the Dominion Vanguard! Don’t tell me you’re jealous of me.”

“What do you have that’s worth me being jealous of?” Leona pursed her lips. “I’m worried that you might be falling into a trap and end up losing me to the Legion. You’d better not forget that one of the terms includes the fact that I have to join the Legion for a year!”

“I told you, Leona. I’m definitely going to win. There’s no way I’m losing!” Clay clenched his fists.

“That’s enough!” Maxwell put an end to their argument. “I’ve tested Ashton before. There is indeed no possibility of Clay losing this fight. You don’t have to pay any mind to the Legion’s strange behavior.”

Leona’s lips parted, but in the end, she gave up. She didn’t bet a single thing on Clay anyway. In fact, she’d secretly placed a bet on Ashton. It was simply a matter of hedging the risk.

North of the arena, Kayla helped Lawrence to his seat. When she saw the sea of people on the Dominion Vanguard’s side, she pursed her lips.

“Look how smug the vanguards are. They’re grinning from ear to ear now, but once Ashton beats up Clay, they’ll be sobbing their hearts out!”

Lawrence chuckled. “The Dominion Vanguard really has grown a lot over the years. But isn’t that perfect? If they weren’t rolling in money, how would we get to make a killing?

“You’re right. Ashton will be alright, won’t he, Grandpa?” Despite trusting Ashton, she couldn’t help but feel worried about the match.

The outcome of this duel was far too important. The fate of the Legion rested upon it.

Over in the corner, Leon declared confidently, “Ashton will definitely win!”

In recent days, he’d undergone the most brutal training under Lawrence, but he’d endured it no matter how hard or painful it got for him. He was determined to fight beside Ashton in the future and become Ashton’s right–hand man.

Lawrence looked around the place before remarking in excitement, “Quite a number of people have shown up. The Dominion Vanguard has certainly allied itself with many of the factions here in Javonbury.

“Guess they’re determined to bring this place under their command. Maxwell’s ambitious keep growing.”

Aside from the seats to the north and south, representatives of other forces gradually filled the other spots around the arena.

The most eye–catching among them was Wanda, who ran the Curlos Chamber. She’d arrived with statt members and was now sitting with Julia. Staring at the large arena now, she started feeling some trepidation.

Ashton had given her two billion dollars! Apart from that, he’d also staked the Complexion Elixir and some other assets for a total of three billion dollars in combined value. This was the seed money he was going to use to make a killing from the Dominion Vanguard.

He was truly insane.

“Wanda, your so–called boyfriend is about to die. Once Ashton falls dead in the arena, it’ll be time for you to give up. You should do as I say and marry Connor. That’s the best choice you could make for your life,” the fashionably dressed Julia declared.

“What if Ashton wins this fight, Mom? Will you stop forcing me to marry Connor then?” Wanda asked.
