All Chapters of Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry?: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

"That's right," Ashton said. "But let me make one thing clear first. I never investigated you, Ms. York. Tonight is actually my first time meeting you. It's just that I happen to know a thing or two about parasitic arts."From the moment I laid eyes on you, I suspected you'd been poisoned. That's why I took the liberty of plucking a strand of your hair, even at the risk of offending you.""You say Hank poisoned me. Do you have any proof?"By now, Natalie pretty much trusted most of what Ashton said, but she still found it impossible to believe that Hank wanted to kill her.If it hadn't been for her, Hank would still be a street thug doubling as a fraud back on the borders of Cloudridge. She was the one who gave him everything he had now!He was her only living relative. How could he repay her kindness with complete betrayal?"The parasitic arts Hank practices give off the same energy that I sense from you. That's my proof," Ashton replied."Are you saying that Hank practices the

Natalie stared fixedly at Ashton before eventually breaking into a smile. "Oh, fine. What else can I do, other than to agree to your terms, Mr. Gray? After all, my life is already in your hands. What kind of pointless resistance am I supposed to resort to?"With a resigned expression, she asked, "Do we need to sign an agreement, Mr. Gray?""That won't be necessary. If you go back on your word, I'll just reclaim your life. Any form of written agreement is meaningless," Ashton confidently replied."You really are an extraordinary man, Mr. Gray, but I'm curious. Considering how capable you are, why did Roxy choose to divorce you for someone as ordinary as Calvin?" Natalie wondered, finding the situation quite peculiar.If a choice had to be made between Ashton and Calvin, anyone with a functioning brain would surely choose Ashton, wouldn't they?"It's because she's a foolish woman.""She is indeed a foolish woman!" Natalie laughed in amusement.It was then that Natalie was hit with

Even Sylvia had to admit that Natalie was an incredibly alluring woman. Her sultry figure and notable standing in society made her fatally attractive to any man."Why are you so nervous, Ms. Langley? Are you afraid I'd eat Mr. Gray?" Natalie asked with a chuckle. "Mr. Gray and I hit it off right away. We've been chatting like old friends, and we've certainly become the best of friends now."Sylvia's brows arched, her gaze flicking back and forth between Natalie and Ashton. Her instincts as a woman screamed that something had happened between them.She sighed to herself. While she'd always known she could never have Ashton all to herself, she hadn't expected a rival to show up this quickly."Ms. Hammond, I've already discussed a business deal with Ms. York. You can now proceed directly to Yorkshore Group's warehouse and pick out whatever you need to provide Evermore Club with a steady supply of booze."As for the finer details of a contract, head over to their office when you're fr

Natalie's blunt, harsh words made Roxy widen her eyes, anger flashing across her face.The infuriated Calvin couldn't resist jumping in, declaring, "That's where you're wrong, Ms. York! Ashton is nothing but a pretty boy—a shameless loser! How is Roxy unworthy of him? He's not even fit to lick the ground she walks on!"He just couldn't get it. Why were all these stunning women falling for Ashton? What the hell was so good about him? How could Ashton possibly measure up to even a strand of his hair?If anything, Natalie should be falling for him! He'd been lusting after Natalie's flawless face and figure for ages now!Natalie's gaze turned icy. For some reason, she couldn't stand hearing anyone insult Ashton.Naturally, Calvin didn't notice the change in Natalie's expression. He continued rambling on, "You must've been fooled by Ashton's facade, Ms. York. Roxy fell for the same lies, too, back then. She's only recently come to see his true colors."No matter what Ashton tells you,

Before leaving to get the job done, Isaac asked tentatively, "Mr. Gray, should we also send some people to cause a scene at Summit Lounge?""It's fine. We don't need to do anything more," Ashton answered."Got it, Mr. Gray!"That night, the Darkfang Gang, the Crimsons, and the Triune, three of the biggest criminal underworld factions in Javonbury, all received the same news at the same time.Isaac and his men had cut all ties with Summit Group, and the man behind Isaac, who had once cowed these criminal bosses into obedience, would no longer protect Summit Group either.The news crashed down on the three factions, causing a massive ripple."Does this mean that Summit Lounge is now fair game for everyone?""This is major news! Looks like we'll have a juicy piece of meat to sink our teeth into now, men!""Come. Let's head over to Summit Lounge and meet with that beautiful CEO, Ms. Sloan. I heard she and Mr. Gray have split up. This is great news for us!"In next to no time, the
