Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 665

Chapter 665

“I’ve always been a risk–taker!” Ashton chuckled as he walked into the Curios Chamber. He had no interest in discerning Irina’s

true intention, as it was irrelevant to him.

He had long decided that he wanted to become the ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury.

This was merely the beginning of his journey.

Ashton had just walked in when he overheard Wanda and Julia locked in another heated argument.

Wanda declared, “I’m in love with Ashton, so you’ll just have to deal with it, Mom! I’d rather be his side piece than be married off to the Heavenly Medical Pavilion!”

Julia’s breath came in sharp, ragged gasps as her fury peaked. “You ought to know that this isn’t a request–it’s a family order! Do you not know the consequences of disobeying the family’s orders?

“You’re so hell–bent on staying with Ashton, but mark my words–the second the family puts the squeeze on him, he’ll be the first to dump you!

“You can’t trust men, Wanda. the only thing you can count on is what’s in it for you—”

“I’m not going to abandon Wanda, Mrs. Shepherd!” Ashton declared, cutting Julia off.

He wrapped his arm around Wanda’s waist and kissed her cheek in plain view of Julia, making the older woman heave with indignation.

Wanda’s body trembled slightly as she added, “I’ve made up my mind to be with Ashton, so you’d better stop pressuring me,

Mom!

“You’ve witnessed his talent yourself. Even Clay, the heir of the Dominion Vanguard, couldn’t defeat him.

“You ought to know that Ashton might become powerful enough to dominate the Heavenly Medical Pavilion and even the Shepherds, Mom!”

Julia snorted in disdain. “Haven’t you ever heard that the harder they come, the harder they fall, Wanda? He’s even delusional enough to challenge the Sage to become the next ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury!

“He’s essentially just digging his own grave since he no longer has Lawrence supporting him!”

“You said the very same thing to me before my life–or–death match with Clay, yet look how that turned out, Mrs. Shepherd!”

Ashton remarked with a chuckle as he sat down.

He drew Wanda into his arms and pulled her onto his lap, letting her rounded and pert buttocks sit firmly on his lap.

Wanda’s face flushed deeply, finding that Ashton was growing more daring by the moment. She didn’t feel offended, though.

Instead, she was secretly thrilled.

She froze slightly under his touch, her flesh supple and responsive to his caress. She looked like a total femme fatale with that sultry gaze, the kind of woman a man could never bring himself to leave.

“You’d better get your hands off Wanda this instant, Ashton!” Julia snapped, unable to tolerate the sight any longer, as she directed her finger toward Ashton.

“Why are you so intent on breaking us up, Mrs. Shepherd? You should give it a bit more time. You might find yourself bragging about having me as a son–in–law sooner than you think!” Ashton declared with unwavering certainty.

“You should save that talk until you make it out of the Sage’s 80th birthday banquet alive, Ashton! I’ll be attending too, so I’ll see for myself if you have the skills to match your arrogance and if you’re actually brave enough to show up and challenge him! “Julia exclaimed.

She then turned to Wanda, feeling a wave of complicated emotions washing over her as she watched Wanda act like a smitten woman in Ashton’s arms.

In fact, she had never seen Wanda look so happy before.

Wanda had always acted like no man on earth was good enough for her, yet now she gave her heart to Ashton, a man whose life was surely forfeit.

Julia couldn’t help but wonder why Wanda had to choose someone from the Legion. That faction was marked for extinction, as the enemies the Legion had crushed in the past would never permit that fallen faction to rise from the ashes.

“I’ve already accepted the Sage’s invitation. I’ll publicly challenge him at the birthday banquet and force him to step down as the ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury!” Ashton stated, his voice low and menacing.

Julia shuddered and stood there staring at Ashton for a long moment. She then let out a disgusted snort and bellowed, “You’re simply courting death, Ashton!”

Ashton asked, “Do you believe me, Wanda?”
