Chapter 13

Author: Maureen Green
Sophie had been gone for days now, yet Aspen still couldn't accept the truth. She kept feeling as if Sophie was still there right beside her, almost as if she had never left.

Aspen woke up in the morning to find her pillow soaked with tears once again. Her eyes were swollen as she climbed out of bed and reached for her phone.

She had kept it turned off for the past few days; she was too heartbroken to deal with anything outside of her grief.

The moment she powered it on, a message notification chimed—it was the funeral home, urging her to complete the remaining paperwork.

Only then did she remember—although Sophie's ashes had already been laid to rest, there were still many formalities left to complete.

"Maybe this is for the best. Once everything is settled, I can finally leave this place." Aspen thought. "Sophie, Mommy misses you so much."

Aspen clutched the pendant hanging from her neck, tears streaming down her face once again.

She had tried—really tried—to keep herself fro

    Aspen leaned closer to the screen. "This is enough to bury them.""I've already contacted a friend at the regulatory agency," Aren said. "They're taking this very seriously.""What about the media?""All arranged." Aren took her hand. "Tomorrow morning, every major outlet will be covering this story."Aspen leaned against his shoulder. "Aren, thank you.""We'll cross each bridge when we come to it." Aren's tone was calm. "Whatever moves they have left, we can handle them."…The next day, major media headlines featured Cygnus Tech's unfair business practices. Regulatory authorities quickly launched an investigation, and Cygnus Tech's stock price plummeted immediately.Miranda entered the conference room at Fuller Group with a pleased expression. "Ms. Nicholls, our stock price is starting to recover."Aspen nodded. "Keep monitoring the market's reactions.""Cygnus Tech is in complete disarray," Miranda said. "Their CEO is currently holding emergency meetings."Aren walked in.

    Colin was quiet for a moment. "Gwyneth, you should understand that now isn't the time to think about these things. Fuller Group is facing unprecedented challenges. I need to focus completely."Gwyneth bit her lower lip. "I've waited so long just to be with you. Now even Aspen has someone by her side, while I—""What's between Aspen and Aren has nothing to do with me." Colin's tone was cold. "Right now I only care about Fuller Group's future.""What about me?" Gwyneth suddenly became agitated. "Don't I matter? Colin, I developed depression because of you. Is this how you treat me?"Colin looked at her, his gaze complicated. "Gwyneth, I've never forgotten my responsibility to you. But the company situation must be resolved. Otherwise, what kind of stable future could we have?"Gwyneth was silent for a long time, then suddenly changed the subject. "Zac has been acting strange lately.""Strange?" Colin raised an eyebrow."Look at what happened with Cygnus Tech last time. He guarante

    There was a long moment of silence before Zac walked in, studying his laptop screen carefully, and said, "Gwen, step out for a moment." Gwyneth looked at Colin, who nodded slightly, and reluctantly left."What is it?" Colin straightened his tie."Cygnus Tech is making a new move." Zac approached the desk. "They're planning to hack into Fuller Group's system."Colin raised an eyebrow. "Hackers?""Exactly. They want to steal core technical data." Zac sneered. "High risk, but it'll be effective.""You sure this will work?""No matter how capable Aspen is, she can't defend against this kind of attack." Zac was confident. "Once they get the data, they can accuse Fuller Group of plagiarism."Colin was quiet for a moment. "If they get caught—""They won't," Zac interjected. "Cygnus Tech's technical team is professional. Even if they are discovered, it'll just look like a partial data breach.""You seem pretty confident.""Colin, business is warfare," Zac said meaningfully. "Someti

    "Their best?" Colin sneered. "The stock price barely dropped, and market share hasn't shown any significant decline since the last dip. Is this what you call a fatal blow?""Colin, calm down." Gwyneth stood up from the couch. "Zac is just trying to help you."Colin turned toward the window. "Gwyneth, leave us alone."Gwyneth bit her lip but ultimately left the office."Zac, you better give me a solid explanation." Colin's voice was ice-cold."An explanation?" Zac laughed coldly. "You think Aspen is easy to deal with? She has Aren by her side and Louis backing her. No matter how capable Cygnus Tech is, they can't shake Fuller Group overnight.""So your plan is to let Cygnus Tech waste my resources for nothing?""Plans take time." Zac moved closer to Colin. "Did you think Aspen would just sit there and take it? She's been prepared for this."Just as Colin was about to explode, his computer chimed with an email notification."It's from Mr. Caldwell." Zac glanced at the screen.C

    "We won't fail." Aren's tone was certain. "I believe in you and our future."The elevator doors slowly closed as Aspen leaned against Aren's shoulder. "I'm so grateful to have you."Aren gently wrapped his arm around her waist. "No matter how difficult the path ahead of us is, I'll stay by your side."When the elevator reached the conference floor, Aspen straightened her collar and walked out with her head held high. Aren followed closely behind, his gaze unwavering.In the meeting room, the directors had grown impatient waiting. The moment Aspen entered, someone immediately stood up to challenge her. "Ms. Nicholls, how do you plan to explain the company's current situation?"Aspen looked around the room, her voice cool and composed. "Please remain calm, everyone. I'll give you all an explanation."Aspen's voice echoed through the conference room as the directors exchanged glances, some already fidgeting and ready to leave.Aren whispered in her ear, "Aspen, should we talk to Ol

    Seeing Cygnus Tech on the verge of losing, Colin felt deeply unwilling to accept defeat. He planned to sacrifice his own shares, offering even more generous terms to make Cygnus Tech fight tooth and nail for him at any cost.Meanwhile, at Cygnus Tech's headquarters, Darren smiled obsequiously as he said, "Mr. Fuller, rest assured—we'll make Fuller Group pay the price. As long as the dividends you promised come through, we have plenty of methods at our disposal."Colin sat on the leather couch, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest. "I want results, not promises.""We've already contacted multiple media outlets. Tomorrow, they'll publish an investigative report on Fuller Group's product quality issues," the marketing director added. "We guarantee Ms. Nicholls will be caught completely off guard.""Good." Colin stood up. "Remember, I want Fuller Group intact, not an empty shell.""Don't worry, Mr. Fuller. We're already quietly buying up Fuller Group's shares." Darren lower
