Ashton knitted his brows, and his expression turned grim as he replied, “Got it. Schedule a meeting forme tomorrow. Get all the department heads to attend it.”

Once again, I recalled what Emery told me. I asked Stella, “Are these the existing projects in J City orthe new ones in K City?”

The Fuller Corporation had a strong presence in J City, and the entire construction industry dependedon them. Hence, it was unlikely for these companies to burn bridges with them so easily.

“The new projects, Mrs. Fuller,” Stella answered.

A line formed between my brows. It looks like Emery was right. Those people in K City have startedmaking their moves now because they are jealous of Ashton.

Ashton took a glance at me and closed the file. He then turned to Stella and said, “You can leave now.I’ll call you when I need you.”

“All right.” Stella then walked out of his office.

Ashton immediately turned his attention to me the moment Stella shut the door. “Tell me what youknow.”

“Hmm?” I froze for a bit and gave him a confused look.

Ashton sighed and said, “You’ve distanced yourself from the Fuller Corporation for quite some time,and you don’t know much about the construction industry either. Therefore, you wouldn’t have askedStella that question all of a sudden unless you heard something from someone. We’ve been married forten years, Scarlett, so I can read your mind easily.”

Hearing that, I let out a laugh. I was pretty sure he could still read my mind even if we were not marriedsince he was good at doing that. “All right, you got me. I came here to discuss this with you.”

This sabotage was no laughing matter. I placed my hand on his and looked at him seriously. “I knowyou’re a capable man, but can you not push yourself past your limits at this point? You’ve just relocatedthe company’s headquarters to K City. Why don’t you strengthen the company’s foundation first beforeconsidering the financing project? Since you agree that something’s amiss with the GW Group too, whydon’t we take a step back and reevaluate our options?”

Ashton’s eyes darkened as he squinted them. Then, he went deep in thought before asking, “What didEmery say to you?”

Although he did not sound annoyed, his tone was intimidating nonetheless. I twitched my lips andanswered matter-of-factly, “She’s only worried for us.”

Ashton kept mum for a moment and walked to his desk. “I’ve been managing this corporation for years.Do you really think I’m unaware of the concern Emery told you?”

After a brief pause, he started looking for some documents from a drawer under his desk. Then hewalked up to me and tapped on the documents. “Construction and trading are the two major sources ofincome for the Fuller Corporation. Before shifting my focus to K City, I’ve established my connectionshere, so by right, everything’s good to go. Yet, take a look at all these documents. They all turned theirbacks on me. Even those who have yet to leave are merely staying temporarily because of the Moores.They might not end up signing the contract with us too.”

After going through all four documents, I realized that the sum involved in these projects was at leastten million. That was a lot of money.

Without connections and resources, a company could never run a business properly. This was exactlythe problem Ashton experienced when he made a foray into K City.
