Ashton had successfully solved consecutive cases and received a commendation from the Yeringham

Police Department. She even received a recommendation from upper management, and a 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 family who

desired power and money. How could she let go of the Summerton family’s assets? Even if there 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’ll call

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 said coldly, “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, even

though 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 was not

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 you don’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 persuade

Ashton!

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 their mother-

daughter relationship.

She felt content and even had intimate relations with Zaiden that night, thinking that if there was still a

chance, she should quickly have another child. That way, if no one was willing to inherit the family

business 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 cold expression.

In truth, she didn’t want Emmanuel to be too involved in all this fighting, even if it was a serious matter

for the

Quillen family

In truth, she didn’t want Emmanuel to be too involved in all this fighting, even if it was a serious matter

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 let his

wife know that he was the boss of M&L Group and a mysterious second shareholder of Terence Group.

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 someone

from 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 call

your 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 give him

a piece of my mind!”

Upon hearing her sister’s words, Emmanuel felt a shiver down his spine. It seemed like he should

avoid 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 him a

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 she hadn’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 a

branch, right?”
