“What?” Rachel was stunned. I bet she didn’t expect me to tell her that. “Why would I wanna know stuffabout you?”

“True. But I have a feeling that fate brought us together, and that’s why I wanna tell you.” I must’vehung around too much with Ashton and somehow became shameless. “Last year, I was supposed toenroll in a law school. Unfortunately, too many things got in the way, and I missed the entrance exam.The Fuller Corporation will only grow bigger in K City, and dealings involving laws and contracts willincrease. That’s why I was thinking of obtaining a practicing certificate so that I could be Ashton’s righthand.”

On the other end of the line, there was a moment of silence. “So, you called me just to tell me howlovey-dovey you two are? Scarlett, have you forgotten something? I’m married and have absolutely nointerest in Ashton. What are you trying to do here?” She sounded annoyed.

“Of course not,” I chuckled, trying to let her taste her own medicine. “Ms. Zimmer, haven’t you alwaysthought that you and Ashton would make a better pair since I was nowhere as pretty and capable asyou?”

“Can you stop beating around the bush? Are you trying to settle a score here?” Rachel probed.

“Please don’t get me wrong. What I meant was, you’re right,” I composed myself and added with anearnest tone, “and that was why I wanted to obtain a lawyer’s practicing license so I could match up toAshton and help him as much as possible. On the same note, I hope that Ms. Zimmer understands howmuch Ashton had invested in the R&D Department and what he expects from it. You get what I mean,don’t you?

Rachel was all about personal interests and gains. As the cream of the crop in AI technology, she’d doanything to defend her dignity. It’d been a while since someone talked to her about whether the qualityof the products met the standard. I need to let her see that they hadn’t been up to par lately.

She needed to be brought back down to earth. There was another pause. It showed that she pinnedher ears back.

As the saying goes, if you lie down with dogs, you’ll end up with fleas. Thanks to Emery, I becamemore decisive. “We believe in you and the R&D Department, but we’re doing business here. If theprofits didn’t hit the mark, as the boss cum investor, we will have no choice but to put these losses toan end. Be on your toes, Ms. Zimmer.”

I then hung up.

Honestly, it was unlucky for anyone to have Ashton as their boss. All he cared about was the finalresult. He’d never look into the process and put effort into deciphering any issues that occurred alongthe way. As long as the targets weren’t met, the parties involved would be struck off from his list.

Yes, Rachel was a valuable asset. But that didn’t mean that she was the only AI technology genius inthis whole wide world. On the contrary, it was the Fuller Corporation that’d endowed her the respectand status she currently held. I trusted that she knew what was best for her.

It had been a week since Ashton tried to acquire Eisen Corporation. Fuller Corporation had gained 5%shares through share transfer. But with the meddling of Dartan’s government, Dartan’s top air-conditioner manufacturing company showed its interest in acquiring it too. With that, they became acompetitor that had the edge over Fuller Corporation in the aspects of market positioning and policies.

Ashton and Joseph decided to head over to Dartan, in the hope of winning the acquisition.
