Silence filled the car for a few moments before Elena finally spoke.“Thank you for what you did earlier. You can drop me off here.”Asher continued driving.“Aren’t you going to the police station? I’ll take you there.”Elena shook her head.“No need. I’ll take a taxi.”She had chosen to ride with Asher because she did not want to get too involved with Gareth.At the same time, she did not want to get too involved with Asher either.Asher did not slow down. He gave her a faintly mocking smile.“I know you don’t like me very much right now. Maybe you even hate me. But that’s fine. I’m only taking you there, nothing more.”Elena said, “You’re overthinking it. I just don’t want to cause you any trouble.”She did not hate Asher, but she felt that their relationship was no longer close enough for him to take her all the way to the police station.Asher replied, “I don’t mind the trouble.”Elena was silent for a moment.She glanced at him, then finally gave in.“All right. As you wish.”El
If Elena had not needed to go to the police station, she would not have minded having dinner with Gareth.She had only recently taken over the Wright family, and she did not want to create an enemy out of the Bennett family.Elena explained, “Mr. Bennett, you misunderstood. I really do have something urgent to deal with. You know what happened in the explosion yesterday. I have to go to the police station, so I can’t have dinner with you.”Sometimes, Elena wondered whether there was any benefit to taking responsibility for a family at all.If it were not for the Wright family, she would never have bothered giving Gareth all these explanations.But now that she was in charge, she had to consider the interests of the Wright family.Gareth seemed somewhat convinced.“I understand. Let me take you there. I have nothing else to do.”Elena said awkwardly, “There’s no need.”She really did not want to get too involved with Gareth.At that moment, Asher appeared.He approached with a smile.“
Elena felt like rolling her eyes in annoyance, but she maintained a polite smile and said,“Of course. You two are perfect for each other.”Neither Alistair nor Camille was exactly a good person, so perhaps having them together would actually benefit everyone else by saving them from a lot of trouble.But which one of them would end up suffering more? That was the real question.For now, Alistair seemed to be the one at a disadvantage.But Elena knew he was not the kind of person who accepted losing easily.He might appear obedient now, but who knew what he was plotting behind the scenes?Camille said, “Dr. Wright, everything that happened between you and Alistair is in the past. We’re colleagues now, so let’s not bring those things up again.”Elena felt even more annoyed and rolled her eyes inwardly.“You’re overthinking it. There’s nothing between Dr. Dalton and me, and no one cares about it.”Camille always made a big deal out of things unnecessarily.Alistair looked embarrassed, w
Asher entered the Bennett family residence and found Tristan waiting for him. He asked about Madeleine.“I spent some time with her, but we realized that we weren’t compatible. So we decided to end the relationship.”Everyone knew the real reason Asher had gotten together with Madeleine, but Tristan decided not to pressure him.“If the relationship isn’t working, it’s better to end it.”Asher nodded slightly.“Thank you for understanding.”The two spoke for a while, and Asher updated Tristan on a few matters concerning the company.Tristan offered him a few words of praise, and their conversation eventually came to an end.The moment Asher left, the smile disappeared from Tristan’s face.He asked his butler, Griffin Fairbourne, who had appeared before him, “What do you think made Asher give up on Madeleine?”Griffin thought for a moment before answering, “Perhaps he believes he no longer needs the Sterling family’s help and is confident that he can secure his inheritance of the Bennet
Madeleine’s face was flushed with anger as she stood in the room.She finally understood.Asher had dared to break up with her because he knew she had no real influence within the Sterling family, and that her family members would not end their business relationship with him simply because their relationship had ended.But even knowing this, Madeleine could not accept it.She had done everything she could for years without receiving any recognition from her family.She had believed that Asher was her opportunity.If he took over the Bennett family and married her, her position within the Sterling family would rise dramatically.But now, that dream had been shattered.The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, especially when she thought of Elena.Just thinking about her made Madeleine’s blood boil.She blamed her situation not only on her family’s unforgivable actions, but also on Elena.If it weren’t for Elena, Asher would never have regained his memory, and he would neve
