Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry? Novel

Chapter 488 " Do you really find this amusing , Ashton ? You ought to know that 17 million dollars is nothing to me ! You're not the one seeing a dime of that extra cash anyway ! " Roxy snapped . She finally received the Rejuvenation Pill with a mask of indifference , completely lacking the joy of a successful bidder . Ashton grinned mischievously . " It's certainly amusing ! I mean , for all you know , I could be the one who concocted that Rejuvenation Pill of yours. " " How could someone like you possibly concoct a top - grade pill ? How shameless of you , Ashton ! " Eunice snapped .

11 Ashton didn't bother to argue with Eunice . He looked at Roxy's frigid expression and said with a sneer , You probably have no idea that this pill is only effective for those on the path of cultivation , which means it won't be able to cure Tanya's stomach disorder . " You ought to know that she'll only live an extra few days even if you find someone to harness the pill's medicinal power for her . You've probably spent that 17 million dollars for nothing , Roxy . " Roxy felt her heart sink , wondering if the Rejuvenation Pill truly had no effect on Tanya's stomach disorder .

She thought that if it were true , then she would have become a " sucker " who had squandered 17 million dollars for nothing . She had very limited liquid assets since the collapse of Summit Lounge , which inevitably strained Summit Group's capital . She knew that it would be a devastating blow she could barely afford to bear if she had truly wasted 17 million dollars . " You shouldn't listen to a word he says , Roxy ! He's intentionally saying that to get under your skin ! You shouldn't let him have the satisfaction of seeing you upset ! " Eunice urged .

Roxy took a deep breath and regained her cold , aloof composure . She , however , was deeply unsettled beneath the surface . She felt a strange , suffocating discomfort in her chest , realizing that Ashton probably wasn't lying about the Rejuvenation Pill's limitations . " You can rest assured that I'll get back at Ashton for this , Roxy ! I'll make him pay for what he did ! " Damian patted his chest confidently . Roxy merely nodded slightly in assent .

In the meantime , the auction pressed on , and Wanda's voice remained as alluring as ever , its seductive quality stirring the emotions of everyone present . " And next up , we have the top - grade Breakthrough Pill . Those seeking to break through their boundaries and advance to the following realm will benefit greatly from this pill , as it increases breakthrough success by 20 % and carries no side effects ! Its starting price will be five million dollars !

" Upon opening the bottle , the rich , potent fragrance of the Breakthrough Pill wafted through the air , triggering an immediate response from the cultivators present who were trapped behind their current limits . Their faces twisted with hunger and avarice . " Eight million dollars ! " " Ten million dollars ! " Chapter 488 +25 BONUS " 15 million dollars ! " It wasn't long before bidding reached a staggering amount , and throughout the hall , the audience's breathing grew heavy and labored as the tension reached a fever pitch . " 20 million dollars !

" Damian declared , his expression full of determination . He needed the Breakthrough Pill , whether for his own use or as a gift to a loyal subordinate . He had also done this to demonstrate his immense fortune , hoping to dazzle Eunice and Roxy with his deep pockets . In that instant , the voices of competing bidders quickly fell silent . The Breakthrough Pill was now twice its actual market value , and the cost - benefit ratio simply wasn't there anymore . In addition , the Breakthrough Pill only increased the odds of success - it couldn't guarantee it .

If the breakthrough failed , everything would go up in smoke , resulting in a devastating loss . " Did you see how no one dared to challenge me once I placed a bid ? Those big shots with deep pockets have to show me some respect and back off from the bidding as well ! " Damian boasted to Eunice and Roxy , his face beaming with pride . " 25 million dollars ! " Damian hadn't even basked in his victory when a sharp voice rang out from Private Suite No. 1 . Eunice clenched her fist in anger . " Why is it Ashton again ? What is he trying to do this time ?

He's clearly trying to make things difficult for us ! " " 30 million dollars ! " Damian stood up abruptly , his face contorted with rage . He then pointed his finger at Ashton and roared , " You've got a lot of nerve trying to outbid me for the pill ! You're not even in my league ! I'll see exactly how far you intend to push this !
