In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1151-1152-1153-1154-1155

Acquire the White Corporation?

I was stunned. I looked at her searchingly, “Did you just say Fuller Corporation is acquiring White Corporation?”

Rose nodded. “Yes. That is why Nick is suddenly piled with work. They have to do valuation before the acquisition, right? Ashton appointed Nick to do the audit of White Corporation’s accounts. That would take a while. I’m glad I meet you today, as I have wanted to thank you and Ashton. As you know, Scarlett, Nick just took over the Harrisons’ business, so he had to show results to assure the shareholders. This audit job came in just in time!”

The smile I had on my face froze. I am lost for words.

I heard footsteps behind me. Ashton walked over and hugged me from behind. Rose naturally let go of me and took a step back.

“Oh, Ashton, so you are here.”

“Uh huh,” Ashton nodded coolly.

Rose could not sense the tension between Ashton and me and happily congratulated us. “I am so envious of the two of you. You successfully conceived again. Things will only get better from now on!”

“Conceived?” Ashton took the ultrasound image from my hand and a grin appeared on his face. Even though he was smiling, it was difficult to read what was really on his mind.

“Are you happy?” I turned to ask him, frowning slightly.

On the day we conceived our baby, Marcus lost everything, and he was the one preparing to acquire White Corporation.

Ashton’s smile widened. “Of course! This is what we have been waiting for,” he proclaimed in his deep, mellow voice.

He massaged my shoulders as if to assure me he was telling the truth. All I felt was a chill down my spine.

I felt like a zombie. I had no idea how I made the journey back to the villa, turned on the computer and searched for news about the acquisition of White Corporation. I was shivering as I read.

…White Corporation’s results dipped as their general manager went missing for two weeks, leaving its management in a shamble. A consortium from M Country expressed interest to acquire White Corporation with an offer of two and a half billion…

Fuller Corporation joined in the acquisition bid with a package including one point eight billion in funds and restructuring plans in line with the government’s affirmative policies. White Corporation is the biggest loser in this close fight…

One point eight billion.

The White family’s had multiple properties in K City and those were already worth much more than this amount. On top of that, they had many other assets in other parts of the country. If GW was merciless in their business dealings, Ashton was way more ruthless. That was a classic act of twisting the knife in the wound.

A few days ago, Ashton promised me he would help Marcus. In less than a week, he joined in the acquisition bid for White Corporation, and made used of his home advantage to save a huge sum of money for himself.

The media were singing praises about Ashton’s investment foresights and his rise to dominate the local industries. He was in a class of his own when it came to investing.

The media did not know Marcus saved me. He saved the life of Mrs. Ashton Fuller. They were also not aware White Corporation was in a mess because Marcus was busy trying to locate his missing wife and kid. GW may be the mastermind, but Ashton was also at fault as he did not extend a helping hand as promised. Moreover, he rubbed salt in Marcus’ wound by eyeing White Corporation.

Ashton looked poised and confident in the photo on the article. Looking at his photo, I could only muster a miserable smile. I should have expected that move, as Ashton was a businessman. No businessman would take on a noble deed at the expense of a profitable deal. Business would always be his top priority.
