“Almost forgot about this, Mrs. Fuller. The purpose of my visit this time is actually to make thisrecommendation. It’s a pregnancy care center based in M Country, one of many businesses under GWGroup. Its security and the quality of its medical staff are guaranteed to offer conceiving women thefinest care available.”

I took a look at the name-card before passing it along to Emery. “May I know what’s this for, Mr.Blondell?”

Nobody would give something for nothing. After getting blown off in the morning by Ashton, Sean wasprobably itching to reveal the true purpose of his visit this afternoon by now.

“Well…” The man shrugged before he crossed his right leg over his left and assumed a morecomfortable seating posture on the couch. “Since your last two pregnancies did not go too well, Ithought that entrusting your preparations for this upcoming one to one of our care centers might ensurethat things would go smoothly this time.”

I wanted to ask why he was being so kind to us when Emery next to me interjected with a straight face.

She returned the name-card and stated flatly. “Get to the point, Mister… Blondell?”

Emery’s spoken Ustranasion was certified, and she was confident with it even in the presence ofprofessional translators. It came in handy this time as she could very well hold herself against Sean, aman from the upper echelons of the corporate world.

Perhaps Emery’s assertiveness gave Sean cause for pause. It took some time before he reverted tohis smiling demeanor. “I’ve learned just this morning that Ms. Moore of the famed Moore family in KCity was articulate and keen of wit. I must say that it’s quite a privilege to be able to see you in actionfor myself.”

“You have flattered me.” Emery remained unperturbed. “I’ve nothing on GW Group in terms ofreputation, so we could dispense with the pleasantries. Let me guess. You want Scarlett to adviseAshton to reconsider the financing project in exchange for a stay at your company’s pregnancy carecenter. Isn’t that right, Mr. Blondell?”

The previously laid back atmosphere suddenly took a frosty turn.

I pursed my lips and did not interject. Emery was like a heroine who dared to do as she willed.

At this point, Sean stopped beating about the bush. He collected himself and regarded me intently.“Take it that what Ms. Moore said is what I have in mind. I wonder what your thoughts about that are,Mrs. Fuller?”

“Me?” I pointed to myself before I laughed heartily. “What more could I say? Emery knows me best. I’ma little fussy and am not fond of life abroad. As such, I’m only likely to remain here. So there’s no needfor us to discuss this.”

It would appear that Sean had no idea that I was the one who suggested for Ashton to cull the project.

Regardless, I was no fool. When I am overseas and out of Ashton’s line of sight, he would besurrounded by enemies from all sides. Under those circumstances, it might be possible that I might beturned into a bargaining chip for GW to hold hostage against him.

Sean was a smart man and immediately caught on. The smile froze upon his face, and he did not lookany more pleased than he did back at Fuller Corporation.

There were no permanent allies or enemies in business. Who knew when Ashton and Sean’s pathsmight cross again, so there was no need to go to the extremes. Thus, I accepted the name-card on thetable. “It’s our pleasure and good fortune to be able to befriend someone like you, Mr. Blondell.

Chanaeans don’t have the habit of checking into care centers as we are more used to preparing forbirth at home, but we would surely pay a visit to your facility if need be. We appreciate yourthoughtfulness and will remember it well.”
