Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98

The current Ashton no longer smiled gently at Roxy, Instead, he gave off a domineering air that made her extremely uncomfortable.

Steadying her breath, she lifted her chin to maintain her proud demeanor. She would never reveal a weak side of herself in front of him!

“What’s the matter? Are you feeling really smug about it? You stopped me so that you could gloat in front of me?

Roxy questioned.

“I’ve got nothing to be smug about. I just came to give you a reminder. The business empire that you’re so proud of is starting to crumble. This is just the beginning of your nightmare, and it won’t end. I hope you’re prepared for that,” Ashton said with a derisive snort.

“Of course, if you throw in the towel early and willingly give me custody of Celía, I’ll spare some of your dignity on account of you being her mother.”

As his words rang out, Roxy’s expression grew steadily more hostile. Her voice was sharp and icy as she retorted, “What gives you such ridiculous confidence, Ashton? How can the likes of you be deluded enough into thinking you can take Celia’s custody away from me?

“You have no idea just how powerful Summit Group is. You won’t be able to keep that petty, gloating expression on your face for much longer!”

Scoffing, she added, “Just you wait and see!”

Roxy didn’t want to spend even a second longer in Evermore Club. Something about the place suffocated her. “We’ll see who laughs last, Ashton!” Calvin snapped.

Clutching his stinging cheek, he shot Ashton a venomous glare before scampering after Roxy like a sycophantic lackey.

Ashton’s expression was cold as he watched Roxy leave. In the days ahead, the foolish Roxy would come to realize what the despair of being powerless felt like.

“Don’t you know you shouldn’t be so harsh on women?” Kayla scoffed, her expression displeased.

To think that Lawrence had even thought about setting her up with Ashton! Well, she certainly wasn’t interested in him!

Ashton glanced at Kayla before looking at Lawrence. He could hazard a guess as to who they were.

“Do you have a moment, Ashton? Could we go somewhere for a chat?” Lawrence asked.

“If you have anything to say to me, you can do it here,” Ashton replied curtly. He didn’t want to have any dealings with Lawrence.

“Hey! What’s with that attitude of yours, huh? My grandpa kindly helped you out just now. How can you be so rude!” Kayla screeched as she glared at Ashton.

Even the rich and powerful had to wait in line if they wanted to see Lawrence. Why was this punk acting all high

and mighty? Did he seriously think he was some kind of big shot?

She was infuriated by his arrogance. Why on earth had Lawrence taken a liking to him?

“Don’t be impolite, Kayla!” Lawrence chided.

Smiling, he said to Ashton, “There are too many people around. I’m afraid it’s inconvenient for us to talk.”

After considering it briefly, Ashton still refused Lawrence’s request. “Since it’s inconvenient for you, we can talk next time.”

“Do you even know who we are?” Kayla growled. “Why are you being so cocky, huh?”

“Kayla!” Lawrence snapped, putting a stop to Kayla’s behavior.

He wasn’t at all angered by Ashton’s reaction. Chuckling, he said, “Looks like you’re wary of me, Ashton. But I think you should hear what I have to say.‘

As he began to make his way toward Ashton, Isaac quickly shot forward to stop him. Yet, the moment he tried to stick his hand out, he found that Lawrence had already brushed past him, leaving only a shadow behind.

Immediately, Isaac broke out in a cold sweat. He felt a chill running down his spine. He’d never met someone this terrifying before.

At the very next moment, Lawrence stood only a foot away from Ashton. His voice was hoarse as he murmured, Don’t you want to know who your father is, Ashton? Aren’t you curious about your family lineage?”
