I pursed my lips and gave no reply.
Indeed, a woman who took the words “quote your own price” at face value seriously should not be smart
enough to hoard Fuller Corporation’s stocks. However, I needed to thank Thora for indirectly giving me
an excuse. Otherwise, I would not be able to find a reason to reject the extra two billion she offered for
no reason.
Our gazes locked for a while before Thora suddenly looked like she remembered something. She stood
up abruptly, grabbed her bag, and turned around. After she took a few steps, she froze in her tracks and
glanced back at me coldly. “I’ll change your mind.”
“I’m looking forward to it.” I pretended to look listless and leaned against my chair, looking like an
ignorant hooligan.
Not staying for long, Thora exited the room.
Immediately afterward, I dialed Ashton’s personal number.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen he picked up the call, he spoke before me. “Did Thora look for you?”
I smiled and nodded. “You’ve already guessed it?”
“Pitcoin is so profitable now, but the Ziegler family can’t dabble in it. Considering how strong-headed
Thora is, she’ll definitely not let this opportunity go. But since this is such a risky investment, she can’t
possibly involve her company in it. Naturally, she’d want to use me. Since you’re the second-largest
shareholder in the company, there’s no one else who she’ll look for,” explained Ashton calmly.
However, I was still puzzled. “Didn’t the Ziegler family collaborated with the Trivett family previously?
Why didn’t the Trivett family rope them into partaking in such a profitable opportunity?”
It was only after listening to Ashton’s explanation that I understood the reason why the Trivett family fell
out with the Ziegler family. It was all because of Mitchell.
Carolyn, the youngest daughter in the Trivett family, was a lively, smart, and beautiful girl. Everyone in
the family adored and doted on her. It was also precisely because of that that her personality was quite
wild and proud—she could not stand any injustices at all. Back then, Mitchell’s horrible reputation was
already known to all. To protect her, the Trivetts carefully prevented her from meeting him. They even
chose the second-best elite school in the city so that they could avoid the unfortunate incident of Mitchell
taking a liking to Carolyn.
However, K City was not exactly a large place. The children in the upper-class society usually frequented
the same few places. At the birthday party of the son of a listed company’s president, Mitchell met
Carolyn and a conflict broke out. Yearning for revenge, Mitchell stopped the Trivetts’ car the next day,
kidnapped Carolyn, and forced himself upon her.
After the incident, the Trivetts sent Carolyn overseas and cut off all ties with the Ziegler family.
“Mitchell really sabotaged his family a lot, huh?” I could not help but lament.
“He’s irrelevant. Mentioning him will only ruin our mood.” Ashton sounded like he was short on time and
immediately changed the topic. “Thora won’t give up so easily. She might have some other tricks up her
sleeve, so be on your guard.”
“Okay.” I knew that he was worried, but I did not want him to tire himself out excessively. Hence, I said
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmjokingly, “You’ve personally tested Millie’s capabilities. The Stovall family has also sent a bunch of
bodyguards to protect me. I doubt anyone can harm me. On the other hand, are you sure that you want
to be involved in Pitcoin?”
Pitcoin was quite a shady transaction. Naturally, I did not support it. If Ashton had other plans in mind, I
needed to know them well so that I could react accordingly when I was up against Thora.
“What do you think? With both our capabilities combined, is there a need for us to seek such quick
profits?” Ashton’s light-hearted tone made me feel much more relieved.
It was rare to see Ashton so proud. Laughing, I said, “I know what to do now.”
After a slight pause, an ingenious idea surfaced in my mind. “Since Thora wants to be involved in Pitcoin
at all costs, why don’t we play along with her and sabotage her plan?”
When Ashton heard that, he suddenly chuckled.
“Why are you laughing?” I was a bit puzzled. After all, in my point of view, it was always better to make
the first move.
