Semua Bab Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry?: Bab 191 - Bab 200

Robert felt completely ineffectual, his mind refusing to process the truth. How could Ashton, the former brother-in-law he despised so much, become the distinguished guest of the Gale Assembly? He couldn't help but wonder if Millie was romantically interested in Ashton.He clenched his fists as he suddenly realized that Ashton's luck with women had been phenomenal since the divorce—every woman was increasingly gorgeous and held increasingly powerful connections. Roxy's current man, Calvin, on the other hand, was utterly unimpressive. "He may be a distinguished guest at Auric Night, but I'm still considered a guest as well, Ms. Hohl! He publicly assaulted me in front of everyone! How do you plan to address this offense, Ms. Hohl?" Tanya asked through gritted teeth. She had never suffered such humiliation in her life, and she absolutely refused to let the matter drop."You can only chalk this up as your misfortune, Mrs. Sloan," Millie replied with a faint smile. Had Ashton decide

Robert snarled, "Mom's absolutely right, Roxy! You have admirers lining up just to get to know you—not only in Javonbury, but even in Joviana and Montague. You shouldn't keep them at arm's length, as meeting them is also a way of building connections."I'm so sick of Ashton's overbearing attitude! He only knows how to charm women! He'd be nothing if you strip him of his women!"Roxy shook her head in exasperation, saying, "That's enough, all of you. Ashton and I are still on a mandatory waiting period for the divorce, so I have no intention of meeting anyone new right now." Calvin arrived shortly thereafter, displaying great deference as he led Christian to the group. "I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Roxy Sloan, and her mother, Tanya Forrest. I'd appreciate it if you could examine her and address the stomach condition that has plagued her for more than ten years, Dr. Donahue!"Upon seeing Christian, Roxy's emotions surged. She then said earnestly, "Please help my mother with h

Calvin pointed at Ashton and snarled, "Your medical ability means absolutely nothing compared to Dr. Donahue's mentor! You have no right to act arrogantly now that Dr. Donahue and his mentor are in the picture. You can forget about holding Mrs. Sloan hostage with her stomach condition ever again! "Your paltry medical skills are beneath Dr. Donahue's contempt, Ashton! Get out of here now!"Calvin turned and looked at Christian. When Calvin saw Christian's intensely grim, somber expression, he misjudged it as fury at Ashton. He looked at Christian eagerly, saying, "Ashton is truly insolent and conceited, using his minimal medical skills to threaten people, Dr. Donahue! "You should gather your peers to professionally blacklist him from the medical field, destroy his reputation, and let him live in eternal disgrace!"He was certain that with the immense authority and resources Christian held, destroying Ashton would require no more than a simple command. Ashton had brought this dem

"That's enough! If Emerson Group ever chooses to oppose Mr. Gray, you'll instantly incur a lifelong, irreconcilable feud with me!" Christian declared firmly, taking a definitive stand with Ashton. He knew that anything less than complete fealty was betrayal.He thought that, in comparison to Ashton and the knowledge of the Ninefold Arcane Technique, the entire Emerson Group was completely insignificant.Calvin lowered his head, not daring to utter another word.Roxy observed the entire scene in silence, her eyes dull as she studied the composed Ashton and the adoring Sylvia. She felt a deep sense of unease welling within her as she wondered if her family would still have to endure such humiliation today if she were still Ashton's wife. Did that mean that the gold invitation to Auric Night would have been rightfully theirs as well?She was startled as soon as this realization dawned on her. She discovered that she was already consumed by regret over divorcing Ashton. She force

In the meantime, the business magnates who flocked to Ashton and Sylvia exuded palpable flattery and admiration."I look forward to closer collaboration and more frequent communication from now on, Ms. Langley.""If you need any help in the future, you can just ask me. If it's within my power, you can rest assured that I'll back you completely, Ms. Langley!"Ashton, observing Sylvia expertly navigating the guests, discreetly withdrew from the crowd. He had no interest in networking with the guests. He was, in his own right, at the top, the one everyone else wished they could rely on."It's about time she arrived," Ashton said as he glanced at the time. He had attended Auric Night for two reasons—to accompany Sylvia and also to meet with Natalie, the CEO of Yorkshore Group, to administer an acupuncture treatment that would further eradicate the parasitic poison within her.It was then, while Ashton was deep in thought, that a chorus of gasps erupted nearby. He turned toward the c
