Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 702

Chapter 702

“Ashton, listen to me,” Roxy said. “Give up this fight with the Sage over the title of ruler of the criminal underworld. You can’t win.”

She pulled out a plane ticket to Vostero from her pocket.

“I bought this for you. Leave now, while everyone’s attention is on Grandcrest Estate. Go and never come back. Consider this the last bit of sentiment between us as husband and wife.”

Ashton glanced at the ticket and let out a sharp, mocking, laugh. He looked straight at Roxy’s hauntingly beautiful face.

“Even now, you don’t know the first thing about me,” he said. “You still don’t trust me. No matter what I achieve, in your eyes, I’ll always be that useless man. Right?”

Roxy said nothing.

“Ashton, you’ve misunderstood. She’s just looking out for you. The Sage is too strong, and he’s got too many forces backing him this time. Just thinking about it scares me. You’d better leave,” Robert said.

He already knew how powerful Ashton was and did not dare provoke him again. That was why he spoke in a hurry to ease the tension between Ashton and his sister.

“That’s right. I don’t trust you,” Roxy said firmly. “Ashton, I admit I didn’t really understand you before, but I don’t regret the divorce. I still believe I deserve better. I’ve already begun cultivating. It’s only a matter of time before I leave you far behind.”

“In that case, you’d better not interfere with any decisions I make,” he said with a cold smile.

He swept a contemptuous gaze over her and added, “You think awakening your bloodline talent means you can act superior around me again? Roxy, you don’t know the first thing about me. You have no idea how strong I am now.

“Since you’re also going to the Sage’s 80th birthday banquet, keep those eyes of yours wide open. Watch closely as I show you what true power looks like.”

Ashton turned and walked away, unwilling to waste another word on her.

Roxy’s breathing was ragged as she watched Ashton walk away, her fists clenched tightly.

“You didn’t have to push him that far,” Robert said softly.

“Let’s go.”

Roxy gradually withdrew her gaze and murmured, “Ashton’s throwing his life away. He can’t win.”

“But what if…” Robert trailed off, remembering the raw power Ashton had shown before.

He couldn’t help asking, “What if he really defeats the Sage and becomes the new ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury? What will happen then?”

Roxy frowned as she hadn’t even considered that possibility. She’d only thought about begging the Sage to spare Ashton’s life when he was dying, then forcing him to leave Javonbury forever.

“There is no ‘what if‘,” Roxy stated firmly.

Robert opened his mouth to speak, but the words died in his throat. In the end, he stayed silent.

Ashton returned to the Langley residence and found Sylvia waiting for him. When she saw him, she threw herself into his arms and kissed him intensely. Several minutes later, their lips finally parted.

Melody had appeared at some point without either of them noticing. She cleared her throat and watched them, who were

practically fused together, before letting out a disdainful huff.

It was clear she still felt he wasn’t worthy of her sister.

Sylvia leaned close to Ashton’s ear and whispered, “I’m taking Melody to Grandcrest Estate. She’s obsessed with heroic figures.

“I know my sister. Once you become the new ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury, she’ll fall for you. When that happens, the two of us can serve you together. Then, I won’t have to worry about any women on the outside.”

Ashton said nothing. He was caught off guard that she was still hung up on that idea.

His gaze involuntarily shifted toward the innocent and captivating Melody.

According to the Compendium of Special Constitutions, she should possess the rare Genesis constitution. She was a natural conduit for the laws of the universe and was perfectly compatible with his own Drakeborne lineage.
