"How in the world does this Ashton have such insane luck with women? Why did Natalie agree to go into a private room with him? How on earth did he do it?" Robert was utterly stunned. He couldn't understand why Ashton, the former brother-in-law he scorned so much, was so popular with women.Roxy's expression grew visibly conflicted as she experienced a complex emotion she couldn't quite define.…Ashton and Natalie both entered the private room on the second floor.Natalie locked the door after entering, a look of agony washing over her features. She then looked at Ashton with a seductive, pleading look and said, "I can't hold back the parasitic poison any longer, Mr. Gray; I need the acupuncture treatment now. I won't go through that hellish torment again—you gave me your word!"Ashton pointed to the nearby round table and stated evenly, "Go over there, and lie face down."Natalie's expression flickered with a brief, indignant shame. She hated how Ashton always demanded such a

Natalie flashed a radiant smile, reaching out to run her finger across Ashton's face before declaring smugly, "You at least have a bit of self-awareness! You were certainly audacious, taking liberties with me repeatedly—but too bad, I'm destined to be the one woman beyond your reach!"Ashton got up from his seat, took out a talisman from his sleeve, and handed it to Natalie. "You shouldn't prejudge the outcome, Ms. York. If things go south this evening, you can just break this talisman and yell, 'Save me, Master!' I'll appear right away to save you."Natalie felt a searing heat as soon as she accepted the talisman. She was briefly startled that Ashton actually dealt in talismanic arts, but her surprise was swiftly replaced by indignation. She found it hard to believe that Ashton actually had the audacity to make her call him "Master". Did he seek to fully dominate her, intending to render her a frivolous object?Natalie's gaze instantly hardened before she lifted her hand and trie

Damian was consumed by the burning shame of being openly betrayed.Robert spotted his opening and rushed into the fray, deliberately stoking Damian's fury. "Mr. Payne, that scoundrel had been making his move on Ms. Langley! He has blatantly disregarded your authority! He has even moved into Ms. Langley's residence!"That revelation triggered an immediate uproar from the crowd, and countless gazes shifted toward Ashton and Sylvia.There was one person, seemingly in the know, who looked rather bewildered. "Isn't Ashton married to Ms. Sloan? Why would he be living with Ms. Langley now?""It's said that Ashton and Roxy are already divorced!""Ashton is ridiculously lucky with the ladies! Roxy and Sylvia are both renowned beauties of Javonbury! He's relishing the pleasures of having his pick of them!""Ashton is totally screwed now! Mr. Payne is notoriously obsessed and territorial over Sylvia, and now that he has learned that Ashton and Sylvia are currently cohabiting, there's no way

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Suther? How dare you refuse my request when all I wanted to do was incapacitate that man?" Damian roared in fury."You're no longer welcome here, so please leave, Mr. Payine!" Cadence flatly refused an explanation and instead issued a direct order for him to leave the premises, much to Damian's utter surprise.How was this any different from a deliberate and public humiliation?Damian's expression immediately hardened. "Do you know what you're saying, Mr. Suther? If memory serves, there exists a vital alliance between the Payne family and the Gale Assembly! Are you prepared to make an enemy of the Payne family over a single, worthless individual, Mr. Suther?""Mr. Gray is hardly insignificant, Mr. Payne. He is an individual of greater standing than you, so please leave the premises this instant!" Cadence delivered his statement with extreme resolve, instantly clarifying his allegiance without any equivocation.Those on the scene immediately gasped in

Ashton was disappointed that Nicholas couldn't endure the blow.He resumed his embrace of Sylvia, then looked down on Damian sprawled at his feet, asking with palpable disdain, "Do you finally get who Sylvia belongs to now?"Damian lifted his head with difficulty, observing Sylvia's radiant gaze and profound affection for Ashton, along with the scorn evident in Ashton's eyes. He bellowed as his eyes turned bloodshot, "You should finish me off right now if you have the guts, Ashton! You ought to know that there's no room for the two of us in Javonbury—it's either you or me who has to die today!""You're still resisting, huh? You're going to keep provoking me and messing with my woman, huh?" Ashton's gaze immediately hardened. He absolutely despised unnecessary problems.Damian endured the crushing weight of Ashton's foot on his face and roared, "I'll never submit to you! If you're man enough, release me! I'll call for my reinforcements at once! I swear I'll make you suffer the m
