When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Chapter 1559

Chapter 1559

When I flipped to the next page, a notice regarding the change in the company’s personnel caught myeye.

I proceeded to read it out loud, “As decided by the company’s higher-ups, Ms. Scarlett Stovall has beenappointed as the president of Fuller Corporation. This change is effective immediately.”

Upon closer inspection, I realized that this notice was released one week ago.

Doesn’t this mean that it was published two days before we crafted the plan to seek out Tiffany’sheadquarters?

Immediately, I looked at Ashton with suspicion. To my surprise, he already had his affectionate gazefixated on me. “We’ve been married for so many years; why are you still looking at me like that?”Ashton asked with a smile.

“I wouldn’t get tired of looking at you,” I replied. When he heard my reply, Ashton’s smile broadened.After a few moments of playful banter, he finally explained, “I anticipated that Tiffany would takeadvantage of the situation when we made our move. Hence, I made this change in advance and frozeall assets. Right now, the entirety of Fuller Corporation and all of the investments Tiffany has made toFuller Corporation belongs to you.”

I glanced at the file in my hands and nodded. “Doesn’t this mean that I’m rolling in dough now?”

Yet, I couldn’t replace it in myself to rejoice. Right now, money and materialistic assets weren’t the things Ivalued the most. Instead, I wanted to watch my children grow up in a safe environment and spend therest of my life by Ashton’s side.

“I suppose you can put it that way,” Ashton replied.

“Wow!” I exclaimed in mock surprise before placing the document back on the table. “Now that I knowwhat it feels like to be wealthy, where are the documents that you need me to sign? Why don’t youhand them to me? You don’t have to inform me of every little thing. I’m letting you take charge of this.”

After all, he had transferred the equity to me in order to trap Tiffany. Now that things were settled,Ashton must have shown me these files because he needed my signature to regain ownership of theshares. This way, Ashton would have the eligibility to sign some important documents.

Although Ashton must have given me these files out of respect, he had always been the one whohandled the business aspects of our relationship. Hence, this entire ordeal felt unnecessary.

Ashton merely shrugged. “What documents are you talking about?” he asked, deliberately flashing aninnocent look.

I couldn’t help but shake my head in exasperation. What trick is he trying to pull now? ”I’m talking aboutthe document which will transfer all of my shares to you. You aren’t going to leave this wealth to me,right?”

Ashton’s grin widened as he smiled in amusement. “Why not?”

I frowned and gave him a doubtful look. “Ashton, this isn’t funny.”

To any other young woman, Ashton’s “gift” would have made them giddy with joy. However, I’m notnaive enough to be fooled by his trickery. If I take over such a huge corporation, I would spend the restof my life working my fingers to the bone. Ashton is just dumping all of the work onto my shoulders.

Ashton let out a heavy sigh as he pushed the file toward me again. “This is a betrothal gift,” he saidsolemnly.

Betrothal gift? ”What?” I couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Earlier, you said that we have beenmarried for so many years. Why are you talking about that now? Grandpa gave it when we first gotmarried. There’s no such thing as paying it twice. Mr. Fuller, even if you want to quit, shouldn’t you giveme a better excuse?”

Ashton leaned back into his chair as he stretched his body languidly. With his arms crossed together,he closed his eyes. “Looks like I can’t hide anything from you,” he murmured.

The secret to a perfect marriage is to keep your wife as happy as a lark. From my viewpoint, it lookslike Ashton is trying to do the exact opposite!

I shook my head with a smile. “Let’s stop joking around. You should get Joseph to prepare thedocuments. The earlier I sign it, the earlier we can leave. Besides, we shouldn’t keep our guestswaiting too,” I reminded him.

After all, the couple looking to adopt Shaun was still waiting for our arrival. Making them wait for us wasnot a sign of good hospitality.

All of a sudden, Ashton said casually, “Why don’t you marry me?”

It felt as if time had come to an abrupt halt. I couldn’t even believe my own ears. “What did you justsay?” I gaped at him as I tucked a stray lock of hair behind my ear.
