In the reception room, Oscar was afraid that Colton would not notice his efforts, so he carefully explained the project’s progress to the latter.

However, Colton interrupted him, “Who has been the liaison between Fashn Group and you this whole time?”

“It’s Mr. Doyle,” said Oscar, puzzled. “Before this, the chairman of Fashn Group was always out of the country, so it was Mr. Doyle who has been communicating with us. Recently, I heard that their chairman has returned, but I’ve never met him.”

Colton raised an eyebrow, replaceing the chairman quite mysterious.

The three of them had only been waiting in the reception room for five minutes when Duncan hurriedly walked in. “I had no idea Mr. Zeller would grace us with his presence. I apologize for the lack of hospitality.”

Colton’s gaze swept over Duncan indifferently. “I heard that your chairman is in the company. We’ve been unable to meet despite several invitations, which seems rather insincere.”

“Well…” Duncan looked conflicted. Colton’s request was not a problem, but the relationship between Francesca and the latter was really complicated. The consequences were unpredictable if the two were to meet.

Colton sneered, “What’s wrong? Is the chairman of the Fashn Group someone unsightly? He doesn’t even appear for such a big project. It makes me worried about your company’s sincerity.”

“I’m afraid you’ve gotten the wrong idea.”

Just as Duncan was at a loss for what to do, a familiar female voice rang out, causing Colton’s expression to instantly darken.

Francesca was wearing a neat beige suit, her makeup simple yet exquisite, and a professional smile graced her face. “I have been paying close attention to this project from the very beginning, and I am absolutely sincere about it.”

Upon seeing Francesca appear, Duncan could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Colton thought Francesca had come with the mysterious chairman, so hist tone became even colder. “What is this? He’s letting you meet me?

At this moment, Francesca’s mind was solely focused on the two children, and she had no interest in guessing what Colton was thinking. She got straight to the point and said, “If you have any concerns about the project, I can answer them for you.”

“You?” Colton gave Francesca a one–over. “He trusts you that much? He even told you the company’s secrets?”

Francesca’s mood, which was already in the dumps, worsened. She took two steps towards Colton, pulled out a business card, and placed it in front. of him. “Unfortunately, I know all the secrets of the Fashn Group because this company… is mine.”

Colton widened his eyes at Francesca. “What did you say?”

Francesca sneered, “If you can’t understand human language, perhaps you should go back to school for a couple more years. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”

As she turned to leave, Colton stopped her. “Wait.”

After quickly scanning the business card in his hand, Colton sneered, “Since when did the daughter of the Beckman family use the surname Shelly?

With a casual flick, he tossed the business card aside, the sarcasm in his eyes growing stronger.

The atmosphere between the two made everyone in the meeting room exchange glances. In the end, it was the most senior person, Duncan, who stepped in to mediate. “Mr. Zeller, perhaps you were unaware of this, but something did happen in Francesca’s family that led her to stop using her previous name. It’s just that it hasn’t been made public yet.”

After all, Fashn Group was founded by Francesca herself, so everyone knew a thing or two about her affairs.

Colton glanced at the unfamiliar name on the business card. Cynthia Shelley?

It’s been several years. Not only did Francesca get into a relationship with Yoel, but she also changed her name and even became the chairperson of the Fashn Group? How much more is there about her that I don’t know about?

He suddenly stood up and walked strode toward Francesca.

The two of them were extremely close to each other. Francesca forced herself not to take even half a step back, maintaining a calm demeanor as she locked eyes with Colton.

Duncan and Oscar watched the two with extreme anxiety, fearing Colton might do something unexpected if he became unhappy.

Fortunately, Colton merely chuckled lightly and held out his hand to Francesca, “From now on, I will personally take charge of this project. As the person in charge of the Fashn Group, you should also be in charge of it personally, right?”

Francesca really wanted to refuse, but she knew the project involved billions of dollars. They could not afford to have any problems.

She could only muster a perfunctory smile and said, “Since you value this project so much, I will, of course, cooperate with you.”

Colton then said meaningfully, “That’s great. We have a long way to go in the future.”

“However, since you’ve already received my business card, please address. mesas Ms. Shelley in the future,” Francesca said with a distant tone.

Colton’s eyes glinted. “I’ve been to the Fashn Group so many times. Now that I finally got to see you, Ms. Beck… I mean, Ms. Shelley, how about you show me around the company?”

“No,” Francesca rejected him without a second thought, as Lukas and Luna were still roaming around the company with Marcus. She could not let them bump into Colton.

Thinking Francesca did not want to spend time with him, Colton scowled. “Is this how you treat your guests?

Francesca knew her response would definitely catch Colton’s attention, so she quickly added, “What I mean is, it’s inconvenient to show you around since the employees are working. Why don’t we go to my office and have a chat?

After all, Colton and Francesca had been married for three years. It would be hard for him to notice her sudden nervousness.

She had the guts to challenge me just moments ago. Why are her emotions changing all of a sudden? A hint of contemplation flashed in Colton’s eyes. Just as he was about to respond, his phone suddenly rang.

“Colt, my stomach hurts so much!”

As soon as the call connected, the delicate voice of Elsa came through from the other end of the phone, causing Colton’s brows to slightly

He really wanted to ignore Elsa, but then he heard her scream and the call disconnected.

I have something to do today. Maybe next time,” Colton said in a deep voice.

Francesca had never been more grateful for Elsa’s mischief that day. The former agreed instantly, “Please go ahead and attend to your matters. We’ll meet again next time.”

It’s best you don’t come again.

Colton looked deeply into her eyes with a smile tugging at the corner of his lips before he left.

Only then did Francesca let out a sigh of relief and quickly contacted Marcus to ask for his whereabouts.

After entering the elevator with Timothy and Oscar, Colton said to the former without hesitation, “Look into what exactly happened to Francescal over the years. Find out why she suddenly changed her surname and established Fashn Group.”

The initial capital for Fashn Group is quite a large amount. Where did she get the money from?

The Francesca he knew from five years ago was as simple as a blank sheet. of paper; she was easily readable. However, five years later, she had become more mysterious and was tied to a number of puzzles.

In the middle of their elevator ride, two young female employees entered.

They were caught up in the excitement that they did not notice Colton’s presence. “Lukas and Luna are just too adorable, especially Luna. She’s so
