Chapter 1704 Property Notarization This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ashton shook his head expressionlessly. “No.”

He crossed his legs and put his hands on his knees. Looking very serious, he was immersed in his own

thoughts. “I’m just discussing the possibility with you. After all, Summer hasn’t returned ever since she

went to Macy’s grave.”

Speaking of that, Ashton suddenly lifted his gaze to look at me. His eyes were filled with an

indecipherable look.

“If Summer can’t accept it, do you still want her?” There was not a trace of emotion in his voice. “Also,

free up some time tomorrow to go to the office with me. We’ll need to do a property notarization.”

I froze, thinking of which question to answer first. It took me some time to get the words out of my

mouth. “Why are we doing a property notarization?”

I was pretty familiar with the term. Judging from the current situation, the two of us had neither property

disputes nor any problems in our relationship. Therefore, I could not figure out the reason to do that.

Anyone who heard of that would instinctively think that something was amiss. Division of property was

usually just the beginning. Then, it’d be followed by a divorce and custodial rights.

Perhaps, it was just my occupational disease as a lawyer. I might be paranoid, but Ashton wasn’t

himself that day.

“I know that you saw me meeting Nathaniel.” Ashton confessed, “He asked me out because he hoped

that I could join his fraudulent plan. I’ve thought it through, and I’ll agree to his conditions.”

“Are you kidding me?” Although Ashton disliked following rules in doing business, he was still a decent

man. He would never break the law and go against the organization.

Yet, Ashton did not answer my question. He looked at me calmly, as if he was telling me that he was

being serious.

I was rendered speechless.

The smile on my face froze as my expression darkened uncontrollably. It seemed like I was confronting

Ashton in the silence.

After a long while, I finally calmed down and analyzed the situation rationally.

There was clearly something fishy about it. Something must have made him change his mind, I

thought.

“What’s the reason?” I broke the silence and tried to make myself look calmer. From a rational point of

view, I had to do that because I was his wife.

“There’s no reason. I can’t turn down his offer,” he replied calmly.

I chuckled lightly. Is he patronizing me? Am I a child to him? We’ve seen everything at this age. We

even have children, and both of us are on good terms. Moreover, Ashton is not a lustful man. What kind

of conditions could’ve attracted him then?

“Well. Tell me then. What did Nathaniel offer you?”

“You don’t have to know that.” Ashton turned his face away to avoid my gaze. “It’s not legal anyway.

The less you know, the safer you will be.”

Hearing such illogical words coming out of Ashton’s mouth, I was agitated. I questioned, “Since you

know that it’s unsafe and illegal, why are you still doing it?”

Before Ashton could answer, a voice sounded from the door.

“He’s doing it for you.”

Nathaniel walked toward the living room as he said, “Scarlett, you should know that Ashton has good

intentions. Just focus on educating your children. You don’t have to know everything. I promise that this

decision will be the best one he has ever made in his life!”

Ashton gave him a sidelong glance. Looking at his hostile expression, I could tell that both of them

were not willing partners.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel did not notice Ashton’s look at all. He patted the latter’s shoulder and stated

affectionately, “The richest man of K City is nothing! With my help, Ashton will be richer than Bill Gates

in less than five years!”
