Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry? Novel

Chapter 211 Sylvia instantly blushed at Ashton's remark . She adored hearing Ashton speak with such intense possessiveness , letting everyone know that she belonged to him alone . She thought that if the Payne family actually dared to make a move against Ashton , she would ensure their days were filled with endless torment , no matter the price . Roxy suddenly strode over and snapped at Ashton , " You ought to stop being so reckless , Ashton ! You should use this opportunity to get out of here right now , and don't pick a fight with people who are out of your league !

" Ashton shot a dismissive look at the stern - faced Roxy and retorted lightly , " How do you know he's someone beyond my reach ? You'd better mind your own business and don't ever talk to me like that again , Roxy ! You've lost the privilege to do so ! " Roxy's expression immediately hardened , realizing that Ashton's attitude toward her had become increasingly cold . She forcefully suppressed her fury and retorted coldly , "Do you honestly believe I care about your fate , Ashton ? I'm acting solely because I refuse to see Celia suffer the consequences of your idiocy !

" " Your concern is unnecessary then ! I won't allow anyone to lay a finger on Celia as long as I'm around ! " Ashton declared arrogantly . His entire disposition had changed ever since he achieved a state of inner fulfillment and awakened his Drakeborne lineage . " You're still so full of yourself , Ashton ! You don't have a clue what you're capable of ! " Roxy snarled . Ashton fixed his gaze on Roxy , stating coldly , " You dismiss me as arrogant , yet you never bothered to grasp the depth of my strength , Roxy . You'd better open your eyes and take a good look at how capable I really am !

You'd be able to find out if I was joking when I said I would take back everything I gave you ! " " You're beyond saving , Ashton ! You'd better not expect me to come running to save you later ! " Roxy snapped before dismissing him with a contemptuous snort . " Why bother giving that idiot the time of day , Roxy ? He is actively digging his own grave and fully deserves whatever happens ! You shouldn't feel any sympathy for him ! " Tanya exclaimed as she pulled Roxy away . Robert chimed in , asking , " Have you forgotten what Ashton did to our family , Roxy ?

That guy deserves everything he's about to get ! " " It's the people from the Zephyr Hall ! " It wasn't long before a terrifying killing intent descended like a violent downpour in the main hall , causing a jolt of panic to surge through the crowd . Chandler , the head of the Zephyr Hall , was seen charging in , flanked by dozens of formidable experts , their expressions dripping with lethal intent . Chandler's presence radiated immense confidence and arrogance while asking , " Who is it that you want dead , Mr. Payne ? " " Get him ! " Damian barked , pointing at Ashton .

He hated Ashton right down to his core , making it an unforgivable blood grudge . 1/2 Chept 201 +25 Bonus " You can rest assured that I'll handle this swiftly and flawlessly , Mr. Payne ! " Chandler affirmed before locking his gaze onto Ashton . He suddenly took out a dagger and lunged toward Ashton with blinding speed , intent on delivering a fatal strike . It was worth noting that Zephyr Hall's financial foundation was perpetually reliant upon the Payne family .

Chandler's present prominence and accomplishments were directly attributable to the deliberate investment made by the Payne family . Damian was also the sole heir of the Payne family , so Chandler was compelled to employ every means possible to curry his favor and ensure no harm came to him . In that instant , Cadence stepped forward , intercepting Chandler's path . " I must insist that you stop right there , Mr. Abbott ! " " Go ahead and kill those who get in the way ! " Damian roared .

He had once shown Cadence some courtesy , but after being humiliated beneath Ashton's foot , Damian cared nothing for anyone's standing - not Cadence , and not even the gods themselves ! " Got it , Mr. Payne ! " Chandler then exclaimed with a sneer , " I'm sure the Gale Assembly possesses considerable strength , but it is certainly not equipped to resist the sheer multitude of the Zephyr Hall , Mr. Suther !
