All Chapters of Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry?: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

"Regardless of what reasons you have, Ashton, you need to pay the price for barging into our headquarters!"I'll make you an offer. If you get on your knees and bow in penance, I'll put this matter behind me and allow you to join the Gale Assembly. What do you say?" Cadence said.As he studied Ashton, he came up with the idea of recruiting him. The Gale Assembly would undoubtedly reach an even greater height if Ashton joined their ranks.Harrick and Trent both looked stricken. If Ashton joined the Gale Assembly, they'd be the ones who got sacrificed!After all, everyone could see just how valuable Ashton was. Someone who became an S-ranked expert even before he turned 30 definitely had a bright future ahead of him."You'll put this matter behind you? What a joke! On the contrary, if you get on your knees and bow in penance to me, I'll forgive you for being disrespectful to me!" Ashton retorted arrogantly."Such arrogance! Let me see if you can back it up. Take him down!" Cadence

Ashton remained expressionless. From the moment he first saw Cadence, he'd already figured out that the latter was an SS-ranked expert.Nevertheless, regardless of how strong an expert was, it made no difference to him. He'd already reached the transcendent realm and reached its peak.A mere SS-ranked expert wasn't any of his concern."Don't say I looked down on you, but with your strength? Go on then. Give it your best shot," Ashton said coolly. "If you manage to make me take just a single step backward, I'll spare the Kramers' lives and keep my distance from the Gale Assembly forever!"Cadence could sense Ashton's confidence and derision toward him. It filled him with a wave of rage and humiliation.After all, he was an SS-ranked expert, a supreme grandmaster! He was the head of the Gale Assembly, and his words carried unparalleled authority!But a man younger than him had the gall to disregard him like that!"Don't get too cocky, young man! I shall teach you the ways of the w

Apart from Cadence's reverence for Ashton, there was one other reason—a far more important one—for why he agreed to submit to Ashton.He saw the unlimited potential in Ashton. Perhaps Ashton would be the one who could guide him in his martial path and enable him to grow even stronger!If that were the case, it could very well be a good thing for him to submit to Ashton.Besides that, with Ashton around, the Gale Assembly might not have to be pressured by the Sage anymore!"Send some people to keep my daughter safe," Ashton instructed. "If anything happens to her, I'll hold you accountable for it!""Rest assured, Mr. Gray! I'll make the arrangements right away," Cadence declared, his attitude humble and servile."That's all for now," Ashton said before turning to leave."Please wait a moment, Mr. Gray!"When Ashton turned back around, he saw Cadence reluctantly retrieving a sparkling diamond from his pocket, saying, "This is The Lustra. It's a one-of-a-kind diamond that can disp

"You think Renee's naive and easy to fool, don't you? I'm telling you now there's no way you'll succeed! Those filthy little schemes of yours aren't getting past me!" Tanya spat."Mom, what are you talking about?" Renee grew anxious."Ashton knows exactly what I'm talking about. Now, take your fake jewelry and get out of here!" Tanya grew angrier."Who said it's fake? I never give anyone anything counterfeit," Ashton said calmly.Tanya barked out an exasperated laugh. "You truly have no shame, Ashton. Are you saying this is actually The Lustra, and that you gave Renee a diamond worth 50 million dollars? Who would believe that? You aren't even worth 5,000 dollars from head to toe, let alone 50 million dollars!"She continued to mock him mercilessly. "Honestly, I used to think you were just worthless, lowly, and incompetent. I didn't expect you to be a brazen liar on top of all that. You're utterly shameless and despicable! How did it take me this long to see how phony you are? Do y

Stanley's heart seemed to stop for a split second. He carefully caught The Lustra with both hands and cradled it, unwilling to put it down.From the very moment he'd set his eyes on the legendary diamond, he'd practically determined that it had to be real. Its complex structure was almost impossible to fake!What's more, the pure radiance it gave off made it clear that it was an extraordinary treasure that came from the core of the ocean. There was no mistaking it!"Mr. Colson, what's wrong?" Robert wasn't stupid. A bad feeling surged in him when he saw how intoxicated Stanley looked.Could the diamond… be real?Roxy and Tanya were also startled."May I know whether you're the current owner of The Lustra, Ms. Roxy?" Stanley looked at Roxy. He'd heard from Robert that someone had given the diamond to his sister, so he naturally assumed it was Roxy.Roxy felt inexplicably uncomfortable and shook her head. "No, it's my younger sister, Renee.""It was a gift from Ashton, my brother
