Semua Bab Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry?: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Calvin wasn't about to pass up an opportunity like tonight. He'd already prepared the restaurant, the flowers, the wine, and even the hotel suite.From the moment he saw Roxy upon returning to the country, he made up his mind to win her over and claim her for himself. He was also keen to have his way with her in bed, forcing her to tell him who was better—him or Ashton.Just envisioning that made Calvin stare at Roxy with even more passion, his heart leaping with excitement.He'd known all along that he was Roxy's first love. Who could refuse a request from their first love?Roxy looked hesitant. Though it'd been ten years since she and Calvin last met, he'd left a lasting impact on her heart as her first love. Even to this day, she felt a spark for him.As it was, she'd gone to the airport to pick him up because she'd thought about the possibility of starting something up with him now."Alright, then. Let's have dinner together," Roxy said.In the end, she couldn't bear to refu

Two hours had passed since Celia disappeared, and the sky was steadily getting darker.At the police station, Harry Gibson's face was grave as he pointed to the security footage, saying, "Ms. Sloan, we checked the cameras down every street and finally found the last sighting of Celia from a camera outside a small convenience store."He continued, "We found that Celia left Lakeview Heights and headed north along Centhill Street. That road does lead to Paramount Hospital. But along the way, right in front of this alley, an unmarked van passed by, and a man who was covered from head to toe took Celia right off the street!"Roxy's and Renee's eyes both brimmed with tears when they saw the hazy footage of Celia attempting to break free from her kidnapper while she was being taken."Please rescue Celia right away, Captain Gibson!" Roxy frantically urged.She'd heard about a child-trafficking ring that had been operating in Javonbury recently. Dozens of children had already gone missing.

Ever since Renee learned of Celia's kidnapping, she'd been beside herself with anxiety. How was she supposed to face Ashton if something bad happened to Celia?Therefore, at a time like this, Roxy's strong objection didn't matter. Renee was still determined to inform Ashton as soon as possible. She trusted him the most."Where are you guys? I'm coming over right now!"Ashton's heart shot into his throat. He turned to Sylvia and requested, "Lend me your car."Without hesitation, Sylvia handed over the keys to her Lamborghini. Worried, she asked, "What's going on, Ashton?"It was the first time she had ever seen him look so grim. In her memory, he was always unshakable, as steady as a rock. Not even his divorce from Roxy had rattled him.After glancing at Irene, Ashton shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Please look after my mom for me. I'll be right back.""Don't worry. I'll take good care of Madam Lowe. And if you need anything, I'll be here. Let me know, and I'll mobilize a

Once Ashton finished speaking, he left in a hurry, vanishing from sight."Look at him trying to act all tough and capable! What does he think he can do when even Captain Gibson and the legionnaires can't do anything right now? He's absolutely ridiculous!" Calvin spat out.Ever since he returned to the country, Ashton had treated him with utter disdain. That only made him despise Ashton all the more. He swore he would take everything that belonged to Ashton."Ms. Sloan, please trust the Legion," Eunice said as she ushered Roxy onto a seat."I believe in Ashton more, Roxy!" Renee said firmly. "Since Ashton said he'll bring Celia back, he'll definitely do it!""How can you be so foolish, Renee? Why do you believe everything Ashton says? Who does he think he is? God?" Calvin scoffed in contempt.However, Renee said firmly, "Think about it, Roxy! When has Ashton ever failed to fulfill a promise? He's a man of his word!"Feeling the pain from her burning cheek, Roxy snapped icily, "He

Ashton wasn't sure if the Holt Crew had dealings with the Wraiths, but his gut said probably not. They had no reason to wade into that cesspool.However, he was certain of one thing. Considering Walter's power and influence, he certainly knew what the Wraiths were up to. The sly old fox was simply feigning ignorance to avoid making any enemies.After noting Ashton's unyielding expression, Walter sighed and said, "You were part of this world once, Mr. Gray. You should know that we have our rules."I'm being completely honest with you when I say that we, the Holt Crew, have no dealings with the Wraiths whatsoever. You've come to the wrong place for information."Noticeably, Walter simply said they had no dealings with the Wraiths. He didn't say he was unaware of what they were doing."I hope you can tell me the shipping route they're using," Ashton insisted."Don't cross the line, Mr. Gray! My father has shown you enough courtesy! Do you really think you deserve so much respect jus
