Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry? Novel

Chapter 199 A mask of rage distorted Calvin's features as he tightened his fists . " You treacherous woman ! You'll regret this ! I swear I'll make you mine one day , Roxy ! I'll ensure you endure the worst suffering imaginable and be left utterly ruined , Ashton ! " He covered his throbbing cheek and - finding the humiliation unbearable - beat a hasty , miserable retreat . He felt utterly defeated , but his determination to seek retribution against Ashton and Roxy became absolute . In the meantime, Auric Night remained in progress .

Ashton , along with Sylvia , was engaged in easy , lighthearted conversation with titans of industry - including Cadence , the head of the Gale Assembly . They effortlessly secured several new contracts for Evermore Group during their discussions . It was clear that Ashton and Sylvia were the undisputed center of attention at Auric Night , with guests clustering around them . Roxy , on the other hand , suffered continuous rebuffs . Those she intended to meet in the business world , upon noticing her silver invitation , refused to entertain her , leaving her without a single opening to speak .

Robert complained bitterly , " How can these people be so judgmental , Roxy ? What possible fault can they find with Summit Group ? " Roxy let out a sigh before replying , " You ought to know that networking is fundamentally based on heritage and established roots . Summit Group is still considered the upstart in Javonbury . " Thus , while our current capabilities rival these established conglomerates , achieving genuine assimilation will be a protracted process . " " What about Ashton- " Robert cut himself short after saying that .

Ashton's name had practically become a forbidden word within the Sloan family at that moment , after all . Roxy managed a strained smile , saying , " It's going to be alright , as even without the networks and capital gained from Auric Night , Summit Group's growth will continue to gather momentum , defying any obstacle ! " Robert hummed in assent , then turned to glare at Ashton . He then thought of a scheme , exclaiming , " I just found the perfect way to take our revenge on Ashton , Mom ! " " What is it ? " Tanya asked , her eyes gleaming with curiosity .

Robert cast a look at Ashton , then at Sylvia , and grinned wickedly . " I recall that Damian Payne , the most distinguished scion in Javonbury , is obsessed with Sylvia and has publicly declared that she'd be the only woman he'd marry . " If Mr. Payne were to catch wind of the fact that Sylvia and Ashton are acting so intimately with each other , there's no way he'd let Ashton off ! " He became more excited as he continued , " Mr. Payne , being the most distinguished scion in Javonbury , has always been overbearing , so Ashton is absolutely doomed !

" 1/2 Chapter 199 +25 Bonus Tanya exclaimed feverishly , " That's a wonderful idea ! Do you have Damian's number ? You should send him photos of Ashton and Sylvia looking intimate right away , and tell him to bring his entourage and storm this place ! I refuse to miss a single second of that good - for - nothing getting what he deserves ! " " You can't do that , Robert ! " Roxy ordered sharply . " Why not , Roxy ? You couldn't possibly be holding on to memories of your marriage to Ashton , especially after everything Ashton has done to our family , right ? Get real , Roxy !

You and Ashton are enemies now ! " Robert brushed aside Roxy's objections , located Damian's number in his contacts , and sent the incriminating photos of Ashton and Sylvia , along with their current location . He then exclaimed with a smile , " I've already sent the photos to Mr. Payne , Mom . It won't be long before Mr. Payne brings his men here . Ashton is going to pay a terrible , agonizing price this evening ! " Tanya let out a satisfied sigh , exclaiming , " That's wonderful ! You've done well , Robert ! I'd love to see how long that good - for - nothing can keep acting cocky !

You'd better not meddle in this , Roxy ! " Roxy slightly cocked her brow as she reflected on Ashton's cruel dismissal . She decided that letting him experience a crushing defeat might not be a bad idea . Otherwise , with his disregardful and arrogant behavior , he was bound to stir up even greater trouble eventually .
