When I looked into his eyes at that moment, I felt as if we were from two different planets. I have seen

this ambitious desire in his eyes before. When we just got married, he dedicated all his attention to the

company’s business. Those eyes were always so calm and fearless as if nothing in the world could ever

stop him from getting what he wanted. There was no denying I was deeply attracted to that side of him.

But as for today, I am starting to find it troubling.

Now I realized he had never let go of his ambition. He knew I would probably have opposed him, so he

delicately planned this intrigue by using GW Group to trick me into signing the letter of authorization. His

shadow game completely bluffed me. All this while, he has always wanted to collaborate with Winzone

Trading.

As thoughts ran wild in my head, I grabbed his arm tightly as I could no longer suppress my worries.

“Ashton, could you please tell me what exactly you are doing?”

Hearing this, Ashton wrapped his arms around my neck and smiled at me patiently. “I know that you

would get worried easily due to your previous depression and your current pregnancy. That’s why I chose

not to tell you. You should not endure too much stress for the sake of our baby.”

I found his explanation hard to believe. “It has nothing to do with my depression or pregnancy. Ashton,

you know exactly what I am asking.”

I tried to collect myself, but I could hardly bear his lies anymore. “Why are you keeping so many secrets

from me? You were the one who told me that launching in M Country would be like suicide. You said that

you didn’t want me to take the risk. Yet you are risking it all now. Why can’t you do it a safer way?”

Right at this instant, I came to comprehend what Jackson had told me. All this while, what I knew was

merely a tip of an iceberg.

Fuller Corporation had just moved its headquarters to K City for a year. Thus it would still be immature to

enter the international market. Numerous parties had given the same advice to Ashton, yet all had fallen

short on his deaf ears.

Right then, the smile on Ashton’s face suddenly vanished. “Who told you about the finance project?”

I was stunned by this unexpected question, and I thought hard to find the most appropriate response. “It

doesn’t matter who told me. I am one of the shareholders, so it is just a matter of time before I discover

it. Do you really think that you can keep me in the dark forever?”

Ashton was out of words. With that, he headed into the bathroom, and what I heard next was the sound

of the running shower. And thus, our communication failed.

I still could not wrap my head around it, while I found myself sitting on the couch waiting anxiously for

him to come out.

His shower was short and sweet like usual. After a short while, he stepped out in his bathrobe, with his

hair still dripping wet. Seeing that I was still up, he gave a long sigh and slowly sat down beside me. The

next moment, I could feel his gentle hands pulling me into his warm embrace.

It seemed like ages ago when we sat down and spoke our minds. I leaned quietly on his chest, listening

to his familiar heartbeat. A while later, Ashton’s low voice echoed in the room. “Don’t you always want to

know why I didn’t attend Grandpa’s funeral?”

I got up and looked at him in confusion. “Yeah. Why?”

George was one of the few elders who treated me well. I had always felt bad that Ashton did not attend

his funeral.

“Do you know that Nora’s and my parents all died in a car crash?” Ashton said.

“Yes.” I nodded without much thought. “Nora mentioned to me that it was an accident. Did it have

anything to do with this?”
