Chapter 1705 Do Not Get My Man Involved
Seeing Nathaniel being so high-spirited, I guessed that he already had a comprehensive plan.
However, I was concerned about the fact that they would attract too much attention after doubling their
net worth in such a short time.
“Who said that Ashton is collaborating with you?” I questioned assertively.
Knowing that he wanted to get Ashton involved in his ploy, I would not let him do that.
Nathaniel clearly had some dirt on Ashton, but he had nothing on me. Since Ashton and I were
husband and wife, we had to get through difficulties together. As long as one of us remained aware, we
would not let the scheming people succeed.
“Oh?” Nathaniel’s eyes fell on me. He gave me a mocking glance before he sat down. After he lit his
cigar, he expressed, “Scarlett, it seems like you’ve forgotten that Fuller Corporation belongs to the
Fullers, not the Stovalls.”
He took a puff of his cigar and exhaled some smoke. “However, this isn’t the most important thing to
me. I just want Ashton to be in this. I don’t mind about how much resources he can provide me.”
Initially, I thought that he was interested in the assets under Ashton and my name. No matter how bad Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
the situation was, he could make use of our power. However, after hearing his words, I could not
comprehend the situation.
He doesn’t want money and resources from this family. He just wants Ashton.
It was undeniable that Ashton was extremely capable. If he had enough time, it would not be a problem
for him to build another Fuller Corporation.
However, it still did not make sense.
Nathaniel was not interested in Fuller Corporation. He only wanted Ashton to work with him now. Yet,
he would only get to know the results in five to ten years. It did not make sense.
The only thing I was sure of was Nathaniel did not put in all the effort just for Ashton.
Perhaps, under the influence of Nicolas, Nathaniel’s outlook had been distorted. To him, the key to
success was not adhering to laws and principles. Instead, he wanted to achieve success by going
against the law.
At that moment, I was certain that I could not let Ashton work with him.
“Since you don’t mind that, you can leave now.” I stood up and gestured for Nathaniel to leave the
house. “Goodbye.”
“There’s no hurry.” He tapped the ash off his cigar casually. “I’ll wait for Ashton to pack his things, and
we’ll leave together. We have to go on business trips frequently, so he has to bring more clothes with
him.”
While talking, he glanced at Ashton. “What do you think, Ashton?”
“No need for that.” Ashton pushed himself up from the couch impatiently and replied, “You’ve seen
what you wanted to see. Let’s talk outside.”
Nathaniel was finally satisfied. He smirked as he stubbed his cigar out. Standing up slowly, he glanced
at me with a smug look before he turned around and left.
When Ashton was about to go with him, I ran toward him and stopped him. “Stand right there! Without
my permission, you can’t go anywhere!”
If I had a mirror in my hand, I could probably see how terrifying I looked at that moment. Ashton was
shocked to see my reaction.
He returned to his senses after a moment before he nodded, indicating that he would not move.
Having heard my voice, Nathaniel turned around and stared at me expressionlessly. He was probably
trying to overwhelm me with his stare, hoping that I would give in.
Clearly, he had underestimated a woman’s determination to protect her man.
“You heard me. Ashton’s not going anywhere. You can go out there and do whatever you want with
your excellent business plan. Don’t try to get my man involved in this.”
Ashton and I had internal conflicts, but we would solve them behind closed doors. However, in front of
outsiders, I would never admit defeat.
