Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry? Novel

" If that's the case , I'll be going . I hope you can resolve everything smoothly . " Ashton sounded indifferent . " Stop right there ! " Roxy softened her tone . " Ashton , we don't have to let things between us get this nasty , even if it's just for Celia's sake . " As long as you turn a new leaf and stop mixing with those underground thugs , I can set aside our previous agreement . A year from now , I'll still grant you visitation rights so you can see Celia . If you do well , you can always be her dad . " " Don't bother . I'm going to win our bet in a year .

Just like this once - glorious Summit Lounge is collapsing , everything you have will come crashing down . You'll be left with nothing , and I'll take Celia away . " Ashton's voice was devoid of emotion as he spoke . Anger surged back onto Roxy's face . " I was trying to give you a chance , but if you insist on being so stubborn , then we follow the agreement as written ! This time next year , you're not seeing Celia anymore ! " " But Ms. Sloan , Summit Lounge ... " Anna started anxiously . " Shut the place down . " Roxy closed her eyes , reluctant but resolute . " We need to cut our losses .

I can afford to lose this round . " She composed herself . When she opened her eyes again , her confidence was back . " Summit Lounge is only a small part of Summit Group , Ashton . Even without it , my wealth is still many times yours . " My business empire won't be affected in the slightest . Even if you run Evermore Club as well as you possibly can , there's no way you can surpass my assets within a year . " " I told you - Summit Lounge's collapse is only the beginning . The timeline will shorten from here on out , " Ashton said as he remained calm .

Roxy fixed her gaze on him and enunciated , " Fine . We'll see what happens ! " She hugged Celia tighter . " Anna , starting today , Summit Lounge ceases all operations . Dismiss all staff , and ... transfer the ownership . " The moment she finished , she felt deflated . Summit Lounge was the first club she'd ever run , so she had deep feelings for it . She never imagined that it would one day fall like this , and so quickly that she didn't even have time to react . " Roxy , why not transfer Summit Lounge to me ? I promise I'll offer a high price . " Sylvia giggled and stepped forward .

" As long as your offer is high enough , you can have it . " Roxy had always been rational . She knew offloading Summit Lounge and getting a good price wouldn't be easy . Selling it to Evermore Club would undoubtedly be the best choice . Still , she couldn't help feeling a little sore about it . " Don't worry , Roxy . I'll give you a price you can't refuse . After all , this was the first club you and Ashton ran Clayton together . Since you don't care about it , I'll cherish it on your behalf . " Sylvia's eyes gleamed with provocation as she smiled . " Remember what I said ?

Don't go regening the doce you made back then . " " I never will . " " Good. " Sylvia laughed . " You know , after leaving you , Ashton's been doing better and better . The one whose youth was wasted was never you - it was him . Just watch . One day , he'll become a god who's totally out of your league !
