Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry? のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 581 - チャプター 590

Wanda had a look of disgust when she felt Connor's gaze on her. She absolutely despised marriage alliances and arranged marriages, yet she also knew this was the fate of those born into prominent, distinguished families.Just then, she noticed Ashton coming in. Once she recalled the way they'd flirted in the past, her eyes flashed with a bright glint. She turned to Julia and Connor, saying, "Mom, Connor, I already have a boyfriend.""What did you say?"Connor and Julia shot to their feet at the same time, their expressions dark.Julia stared straight into Wanda's eyes, as if trying to discern whether the latter was telling the truth.Meanwhile, Connor had already clenched his fists, feeling as though he'd been cheated on. Wanda was the woman he desired the most. How could she already have another man in her life? More importantly, was she still a virgin?He nearly had a meltdown.Scowling, he questioned darkly, "What's the meaning of this, Mrs. Shepherd? Are the Shepherds tryi

Wanda's expression shifted slightly. She hadn't thought that far ahead just now. She only wanted to use Ashton's status as her boyfriend to make Connor back off. It was never her intention for Connor to start targeting Ashton.After all, the Heavenly Medical Pavilion truly wasn't easy to deal with."Ashton…"Wanda wanted to explain herself, but Ashton simply pulled her even closer before saying to Julia, "Since I'm Wanda's boyfriend, Mrs. Shepherd, it's my job to protect her. You don't need to worry about that.""Such arrogance!" Julia shook her head. "You know nothing. The Heavenly Medical Pavilion isn't an opponent you can handle. I've already looked into your background. Don't tell me you think you can take them on just because you're a legionnaire."Ashton was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Julia to uncover information about him in such a short time. It seemed the Shepherd family truly did wield a great deal of influence."You can see for yourself whether I'm able

"Huh?" Wanda was a little slow to catch on. "What do you mean?""Wanda, don't tell me you have no idea that the Curios Chamber has set up a betting pool—and the betting odds—for the match between Clay and me?" Ashton said."I'm not in charge of that.""Well, can't you take charge of it for a bit, Wanda?""What do you have in mind?" Wanda eyed Ashton curiously, having realized she couldn't quite get a read on him anymore."It's nothing much. I just want to really screw over the Dominion Vanguard this time."Ashton laid out his plan to her.He laid out his plan. "During the match, I'll deliberately act as though I'm losing to Clay at first. Once the Dominion Vanguard pours in all their money and the live odds peak, all you have to do is help me place a massive bet on me winning."This allows me to walk away with a fortune! And when that happens, I'll definitely make it worth your while, too, Wanda."Wanda's eyes gleamed. She didn't expect Ashton to come up with an idea like that

"Hold it!"Eunice scrutinized Ashton before asking grimly, "Are you confident about winning that match against Clay or not? I heard you've bewitched the Northern Troops and the legionnaires to bet on your victory. Some of them have even staked their entire life savings. "Do you have any idea what the consequences will be if you lose?""I've never lost," Ashton said confidently.He glanced at Eunice. On account of how he'd slept with her once, he said curtly, "Feel free to place a bet of your own. I can guarantee you'll make a fortune on it.""I won't bet a single thing on you winning! I don't believe in you at all! I really don't know what Mr. Clarkson Senior is thinking!" Eunice snapped. "If the Legion's reputation is ruined because of you, you'll be condemned for all eternity!"My beloved Lord Reaper worked so hard to rebuild the Legion's prestige. If you lose it all in two days, I'll make you pay for that!" Eunice waved her fist at Ashton, her chest heaving.All the nutrien

"You know how strong I am, Leona. How can Ashton possibly challenge me?" Clay argued in displeasure. "Besides, what can possibly be off about this situation?"As she looked at the arrogant Clay, Leona compared him to Ashton before scoffing. "Mr. Lademan, don't you think the Legion has been acting a little unusual lately?"They've been constantly provoking us for the past three days and deliberately antagonizing us. They've also placed heavy bets on Ashton winning. It's almost as if… they're blatantly trying to set us up!"Her eyes flickered as she continued, "The betting pool for this match has skyrocketed to 30 billion dollars, and it's still rising rapidly. Someone is definitely fanning the flames behind the scenes."Based on my understanding of the Legion, they would never dare to act like this if they didn't have absolute confidence in winning. In fact, this match has felt off to me from the moment it was set up. I keep feeling that… they're using Clay like a cash cow to make a
