Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 680

Chapter 680

This night was destined to be anything but peaceful. Tensions rose in all corners of Javonbury as everyone made their calculated

bets.

The struggle for the throne of Javonbury’s criminal underworld was no longer confined to the shadows. It had been pushed into the open.

Even those who usually paid no attention to the underworld had heard whispers of it.

As a result, the betting pool for the matchup broke all records. In just a single night, it’d reached 60 billion, and there were still massive sums coming in.

All kinds of rumors spread wildly through every social circle.

As the situation raged on outside, inside Nimbus Summit Heights, Ashton and Faye had once again achieved a resonance between their intertwining bloodlines.

As they cultivated once more, both their powers heightened.

The warm breaths and energy surged between them.

Beads of sweat dotted Faye’s skin. Her body began emitting a unique fragrance, and her beautiful eyes grew even more captivating. Her blue dress clung tightly to her skin, perfectly outlining her curvaceous figure.

The sight was enough to ignite one’s desire.

“What do you think you’re looking at?”

When Faye tracked Ashton’s gaze, she looked down and realized her dress had slipped a little, revealing her skin. Blushing, she quickly tugged on the neckline before glowering at him.

Ashton stretched, looking a lot more energized now. Yet, his desire to claim Faye only burned stronger.

If not for the fact that the Drakell technique required the other party to be a willing participant as well, he might’ve truly had a hard time holding himself back.

Even just looking at Faye, the most beautiful woman in Javonbury, was enjoyable.

Faye bit her lip lightly. Ashton’s fiery gaze made her feel like she was naked in front of him. Yet strangely, she also felt a trace of pride and satisfaction, subconsciously puffing out her chest.

As messages flooded in nonstop, she looked at Ashton, who remained calm and composed.

She couldn’t help asking anxiously, “Ashton, do you have any idea that a storm is raging outside right now? The betting pool on whether you or the Sage will emerge as the king of Javonbury’s underworld after his 80th birthday has now reached So billion dollars!”

“I’m aware of that,” Ashton replied calmly.

Even while cultivating with Faye, he’d kept in contact with Wanda as well.

“Then do you know that people have already betrayed you?” Faye pressed on urgently. “Cadence Suther of the Gale Assembly and the Jensen family have all teamed up with the Sage. The balance has completely tipped in his favor! How can you still be this calm?”

She sounded pretty frantic, because deep down, she didn’t like the idea of Ashton losing this fight.

“They’re just a bunch of sheep that are easily swayed. Who cares about them? This is a good opportunity for me to see everyone’s true colors.” Ashton didn’t care about it.

“But this also means that the Sage has a lot more powerful factions on his side, while you’re at a clear disadvantage. How are you going to challenge the Sage now?

“You can’t rely on just yourself to become the king of Javonbury’s underworld!”

Faye was finding it even harder to see through Ashton now. It was as if he were shrouded in mystery.

“I have my methods, of course,” Ashton said coolly. “Those who betray me will eventually pay for it.”

“I really have no clue how you can be this confident,” Faye said, her lips pursed. “If you die at the Sage’s birthday celebration, don’t expect me to save you. I’ll only be clapping and cheering along with everyone. That way, my mom won’t force me to marry you.”

“Will you be there that day? The Sage must’ve given the Moores an invitation, right?” Ashton asked.

“That’s none of your business.” Faye scoffed.
