Chapter 1328 Devising a Plan
Ashton had successfully solved consecutive cases and received a commendation from theYeringham Police Department. She even received a recommendation from upper management, anda promotion was within reach!
In this situation, how could Zaiden bring Ashton back to inherit the family business worth billions?
“If it doesn’t work, we can let Malakai’s daughter, Lexi, inherit the Summerton family business!”Zaiden said helplessly.
However, Althea stared at him. Her mouth was silent, but her expression said it all!
How dare this man?!
He had a deep bond with Malakai, but Althea didn’t!
She was a woman from the Silverbane family in Onza and the only one in the Summerton familywho desired power and money. How could she let go of the Summerton family’s assets? Even ifthere was a blood relationship, it was not acceptable!
Upon seeing his wife’s reaction, Zaiden could only helplessly shake his head. “All right. All right. I’llcall Ash now and ask her to come back to Onza!”
“That’s more like it!” Althea’s expression improved slightly as she pouted her red lips and saidcoldly, “If Ashton dares not to listen to you, I’ll be the one to discipline her!”
The temperaments of the two spouses were completely different.
Zaiden was easygoing and rarely used his authority as an elder to reprimand his children. So, eventhough his children didn’t listen to him, their relationship was still good.
But Althea was the opposite. Her children were all afraid of her, so naturally, their relationship wasnot as good.
What surprised the couple was that this time, Ashton actually didn’t refuse!
Not only that, but Ashton even said readily, “Dad, I’m still planning to go back to Onza even if youdon’t call me! Since you’ve asked, I’ll go back tomorrow!”
“1…”
Ashton’s quick response caught Zaiden off guard. He had prepared several arguments to persuadeAshton!
But none of them were needed, and he felt no sense of accomplishment at all.
When Althea heard that Ashton would be returning to Onza tomorrow, her mood finally improved.She even made sure she had free time tomorrow to pick up Ashton personally and improve theirmother-daughter relationship.
She felt content and even had intimate relations with Zaiden that night, thinking that if there was stilla chance, she should quickly have another child. That way, if no one was willing to inherit the familybusiness in the future, they would have another option!
On the other side, Emmanuel returned home to replace Mackenzie sitting in front of the dressing table,applying a bedtime face mask.
“Did you go to the boxing arena to gather information again?” Mackenzie asked with a coldexpression.
In truth, she didn’t want Emmanuel to be too involved in all this fighting, even if it was a seriousmatter for the
Quillen family
08:39 Wed, Mar 6 ✡ bedtime face mask.
“Did you go to the boxing arena to gather information again?” Mackenzie asked with a coldexpression.
In truth, she didn’t want Emmanuel to be too involved in all this fighting, even if it was a seriousmatter for the Quillen family.
“No. I went to see Julian tonight!”
Emmanuel quickly responded and concealed the fact that he was looking for Shane. He couldn’t lethis wife know that he was the boss of M&L Group and a mysterious second shareholder of TerenceGroup. Otherwise, his identity would be exposed!
“Julian? Why did you see him?”
Mackenzie turned to look at him.
Emmanuel told his wife about what happened tonight.
Mackenzie listened and felt a bit melancholic. She never expected that a man, especially someonefrom the prestigious Summerton family, would end up in such a situation for a woman!
“It seems like he really likes your sister!”
“Yeah. That’s why I agreed to arrange for them to meet again!”
Emmanuel said seriously, “Mackenzie, you can help me with this, right?”
Mackenzie pretended to be angry and glared at him coldly. If I don’t help you, who else will? I’ll callyour sister!”
He quickly caressed her shoulders as a way of gratitude.
She was quick-witted and had already considered what to say before calling Roselynn.
“Mackenzie, why are you calling me so late? Is Emmanuel mistreating you? I’ll come over and givehim a piece of my mind!”
Upon hearing her sister’s words, Emmanuel felt a shiver down his spine. It seemed like he shouldavoid conflicts with his wife in the future, or else his sister would step in on her behalf.
“Roselynn, Emmanuel is still relatively well-behaved. If necessary, I can let you come and teach hima lesson. But I wanted to talk to you about something important!”
“All right. What is it?”
Roselynn seemed intrigued. She and Mackenzie were emotionally connected like sisters. If shehadn’t known Mackenzie was busy, she would have pestered Mackenzie for a chat every day.
“We’ve made progress with Onza, and your Quillenrose store should be stable enough to open abranch, right?”
