In Love, Never Say Never

In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1146-1147-1148-1149-1150

I was not familiar with the workings of the stock market, but judging from Ashton’s tone, he was on top of this matter and would have executed it perfectly.

With Eisen Corporation’s technical support in place, Fuller Corporation only had to focus on developing its global network of warehouse and storage facilities. This would drastically reduce the time required for them to establish themselves in K City.

I stayed quiet for quite a while, secretly observing Ashton. When I saw he was in a good mood, I abruptly asked, “Did GW create any problem for you in your acquisition bid?”

Ashton lifted his head and inspected me with his probing gaze. “Why do you bring them up out of the blue?” I felt he could read what was on my mind.

I turned my head slightly to avoid his gaze and stammered, “Eh… just a casual question. You said they were ambitious, so I was worried you’d let your guard down, and they will take advantage…”

I regained my courage as I spoke. I turned around, and strode over to him, causing him to back off a little in surprise. “Yeah. As your capable wife, of course, I have to watch your back. Can’t I?” Ashton eyed me suspiciously, then let out a laugh, amused. “Of course you can. I am just not used to that.”

He repositioned himself comfortably to hold me in his arms and explained to me. “GW is extremely influential in M Country and formidable in K City. However, Dartan is not their territory, so their clout cannot be felt there. That was one of the reasons why I chose Eisen Corporation in the first place.”

I nodded. It was easy to see. Once out of M Country, Fuller Corporation could invest and grow without undue influence from GW.

But his reply did not work to my favor, as I could not bring in the subject I had in mind. I bit my lips, lost in thoughts. I was oblivious to his mocking, and that raised his suspicion.

He took me by my shoulders and sat me squarely in front of him. He squinted his deep dark eyes and commanded, “Out with it. What are you hiding from me?”

I overestimated my ability. It was pointless trying to conceal anything from this shrewd man.

I pursed my lips, looked over Ashton’s shoulder in the direction of the door behind him, and said, “You can come out now.”

Before Ashton could turn to look, Marcus had already walked into the hall. Their eyes met, and the air turned tense instantaneously. Their relationship had always been fraught with hostility.

I was worried the situation would get out of hand, so I grabbed Ashton’s arm and started explaining, “Marcus is here to seek your help. GW kidnapped Camelia and Toby. He was hoping we can sound Sean out to see if he had any useful information.”

Ashton turned around and gave me a terrifying dark look. I withdrew my hand in awe.

He had always felt uneasy about my relationship with Marcus. Hence, his reaction to seeing us together was understandable.

However, what he did next was unexpected.

“Joseph!” he summoned Joseph.

“Yes sir. What can I do for you?” Joseph stood at the door respectfully and asked.

“Replace all the security standing guard outside. Every single one of them!” Ashton ground his teeth and commanded. Joseph could tell it was a non-negotiable demand, so he hurried off to execute it.

I was stunned, but I understood his reasons for doing so.

In love, never say never chapter 1147

Before he left the house, Ashton had given clear instructions not to let any man into the house. Not only was Marcus allowed into the house, to make matter worse, none of the security bothered to inform him about it. Ashton expected discipline from his men, so he would not tolerate such misconduct.

I was to be blamed for their plight. However, Ashton was raging at that moment, so I would have to wait for another opportune time to plead for them. Marcus’ problem was the top priority then.

After giving out his orders to Joseph, Ashton sat up straight, and his expression was grave. He was in a cold, uncompromising mood.

Marcus did not want to make things difficult for me. He took the initiative to move forward, sat on the sofa, and humbly spoke to Ashton.

“Please don’t fault Scarlett. I begged her to help me. All these years, I had done too much wrong to Camelia and our child. I can’t sit back and do nothing now that they are in danger. Ashton, I gave Scarlett up to you. Could you not return the favor and help find out about my wife and child?”

This was as humble as Marcus could get. Both Ashton and he were men of great ego. They would not be able to let go of their pride completely, even when asking for help.
