Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry? Novel

Chapter 37 Calvin was afraid Ashton would go berserk and start beating him up as well , so he kept his distance from the latter . That being said , he didn't hold back on the insults . " You're a monster , Ashton ! Roxy , you can finally see what kind of man he is , right ? He's just a spineless , irresponsible piece of trash with a violent temper ! He's the one who's utterly useless , but he takes it out on a woman ! People like him are the lowest scum in my book ! " " Watch yourself , Mr. Gray ! This is a police station ! " Harry rebuked , feeling rather furious himself .

Being a fellow woman , Eunice couldn't stand it either . She shielded Roxy before glaring at Ashton and snarling in cold fury , " What's wrong with you ? How can you hit someone without even getting your facts straight first ? " Ignoring them all , Ashton threatened darkly , " If anything happens to Celia , I'll make your life a living hell ! " His words seemed to send Roxy into a frenzy . Eyes red , she screamed , " Do you think I want something bad to happen to Celia ? Do you know she was calling for you when she was kidnapped ?

If it weren't for you , why would Celia have to sneak out of the house to find you ? " Do you think you're worthy of being a father , Ashton ? If you're so capable , then why don't you go find Celia and bring her back , huh ? What makes you think you have the right to hit me ? " " That's right ! It's all your fault that Celia was kidnapped ! " Calvin agreed . Ashton's voice was icy as he retorted , " I didn't slap you because Celia was kidnapped . It was because you didn't tell me about it immediately !

" You won't be able to bear the responsibility if anything has happened to Celia because of the time you wasted ! If I'd found out earlier , I might've already brought her back . " " Hah ! Aren't you a bit too full of yourself ? Ms. Sloan reported it to the police right away . Besides , we , the Legion , have taken this kidnapping case , and even we can't promise we'll be able to bring her back . What gives you the audacity to run your mouth like that , huh ? " Eunice snapped . Her first impression of Ashton was a terrible one .

She despised stubborn , obstinate men who pinned all the blame on women the most . Only Hector was tense and alert after seeing Ashton . He remained on guard , ready to move at a moment's notice . He was sure Ashton was an expert fighter and not an ordinary man . " Where's the footage of the kidnapping ? " " And why should we let you see- " Eunice was mid - protest when Hector yanked her behind him and said , " Mr. Gray , here's the footage that shows the moment your daughter , Celia , was taken . Unfortunately , the perpetrator kept his face covered , and the van was unregistered as well .

" We're unable to track them to see where they went after leaving this street . " Stunned , Eunice wondered why Hector gave Ashton such a detailed explanation of the situation . It was quite unlike him . 1/2 Chapter 37 +25 Bonus Without saying anything , Ashton watched the footage three times . His gaze turned colder as he watched the way Celia struggled while crying for him . A surge of darkness seemed to gather in the depths of his eyes . The room's temperature dropped . " Are you certain it's the work of the Wraiths ? " Ashton asked Hector . " Watch your tone , Mr. Gray !

" Harry couldn't resist reminding Ashton . The Legion wasn't part of the regular police force , but their authority far exceeded his own as a police captain . " It's fine , " Hector said before nodding to Ashton . " We've been investigating these kidnapping cases for some time now , and we've planted an undercover operative within the Wraiths . We can be certain this is the work of the Wraiths . " " What do they usually do with the children once they take them ? " Ashton asked . " Based on prior cases , they ship the children out by sea .

Once they're offshore , it becomes basically impossible to track them . We still don't know the exact port they use . As you know , Javonbury is a coastal city with a vast shoreline , " Hector informed with a sigh . " So , for now , we must wait for our undercover operative to report back . " " What if there's no news ? Are you just going to keep waiting ? " Hector couldn't answer that question . " What else can we do ? Don't tell me you have an idea , " Eunice retorted with a snort . Ashton remained silent for a moment before turning to leave .

Just before exiting the room , he said to Roxy and Renee , " Don't worry . I'm Celia's father . I won't let anything happen to her . I'll bring her back safely .
