Chapter 507

Author: Maureen Green
"What did you say? Work with Aspen?" Colin's voice was ice-cold, filled with resistance and disgust.

"Absolutely not! I will never bow down to that woman!"

Riley had expected this reaction from Colin, but he persisted in trying to persuade him. "Mr. Fuller, these are desperate times. Pride and ego don't matter anymore.

"Ms. Nicholls has the funding and connections. If we could get her help, there might still be a chance.

"Besides, from what I understand, Ms. Nicholls seems to be investigating Zac's activities too. She might already have some crucial evidence."

Riley's words stirred something in Colin's heart. He knew Riley was right.

Fuller Group was backed into a corner. If they could work with Aspen, they might actually be able to turn things around.

But asking him to humble himself before Aspen—to seek help from the woman he had once deeply hurt—his pride simply couldn't accept it.

"Enough! Don't say another word!" Colin irritably cut off Riley's speech.

    Fuller Group's recent financial crisis was hardly a secret anymore.By saying such words at this moment, Gwyneth was undoubtedly reminding everyone that Colin was no longer what he used to be, while Aspen and Aren could still spend money like water.Hearing Gwyneth's words, Colin's fury subsided slightly. She was right—the company's situation was indeed dire.Continuing this emotional bidding war would only exacerbate the situation. His rationality was telling him he should give up.However, when his gaze met Aspen's calm and indifferent eyes, a strong sense of unwillingness surged in his heart. He didn't want to admit defeat in front of Aspen, especially not in front of Aren.He gritted his teeth hard, his expression fluctuating between light and dark as he struggled internally. Finally, reason barely triumphed over impulse.Colin's clenched fists slowly loosened. His face was ashen, looking as humiliated as if he'd been slapped hard across the face. He closed his eyes, took a d

    Watching Colin and Aren compete fiercely over the same necklace, Gwyneth felt a complex mix of emotions."950 grand!" Colin's voice carried a ruthless edge, breaking through the slightly stagnant atmosphere.As if driven by spite, he directly increased the price by a significant amount. His provocative gaze shot straight toward Aren, carrying undisguised aggression.At that moment, low gasps rippled through the venue. Everyone was captivated by the suddenly tense atmosphere.What they'd thought would be an ordinary charity auction had turned into a direct confrontation between two powerful men.Was this all for one woman? Or just a matter of pride?Various speculations spread through the crowd, making the atmosphere both subtle and electric. Meanwhile, Aspen's elegant brows furrowed as she became even more puzzled by Colin's sudden obsession.It was just a necklace. Was it worth this kind of confrontation? Or perhaps his target wasn't the necklace at all, but herself?This thou

    "600 thousand dollars." Another bidder raised the price, and the amount climbed rapidly.As Aspen watched the necklace on stage, that familiar feeling in her heart grew stronger. She felt like she had seen this necklace somewhere before, or at least a similar design style.She tried hard to remember, and fragmented images flashed through her mind. Those images were somewhat blurry and distant, yet they carried a hint of warmth.Aren noticed Aspen's distraction and asked softly, "Pen, do you like this necklace?"His voice was gentle with a touch of curiosity. Aspen snapped back to attention and nodded."Yes, it feels... special somehow." She didn't mention the familiar feeling and just responded casually."700 grand." Colin suddenly raised his paddle, his voice carrying a cold edge.The entire room fell silent for a moment as everyone turned to look at Colin. Colin was actually joining the bidding, and he'd jumped the price by 100 thousand dollars right off the bat.Who was he c

    Aspen's gaze was completely captivated by the black obsidian necklace on the auction stage. The black obsidian gleamed with a subdued luster under the lights.The glow wasn't flashy, yet it carried a mysterious allure, as if it held profound emotions within its depths.Aspen's fingertips lightly touched her chest. Though there was nothing there, she seemed to feel the warmth of a necklace.She looked thoughtful, her eyes growing deep and distant. Standing beside Aspen, Aren keenly noticed where her attention had focused.He followed her gaze, and a slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. He looked forward to the upcoming bidding, eager to see how Aspen would look wearing that necklace.Colin also noticed Aspen's fascination with the necklace. His gaze then fell darkly on Aren.Seeing the unspoken understanding between the two and witnessing the subtle smile on Aspen's lips, jealousy gnawed at his heart.He couldn't stand seeing Aspen doing so well, especially when she wa

    Gwyneth's face turned deathly pale in an instant.Just then, Aspen and Aren walked over. They seemed to notice the commotion and glanced over casually.Aspen's expression remained calm and unruffled, as if she were simply watching two strangers argue. She didn't even spare Colin a glance, continuing forward with her arm linked through Aren's.Aren's gaze lingered on Colin and Gwyneth for a brief second. He sensed some emotional shift in Aspen and tilted his head slightly, asking in a low voice."What's wrong?" His voice was gentle, tinged with concern.Aspen shook her head, but a mocking smile tugged at the corner of her mouth."Nothing. Just saw something unpleasant that kind of killed my appetite." Her words were casual, yet carried undisguised disgust.Aren immediately understood what Aspen meant. He followed her gaze and spotted Colin and Gwyneth standing in the corner.His eyes instantly turned cold as winter frost. Without making it obvious, he positioned himself in front

    Gwyneth spotted Colin too. She hesitated for a moment, then took small steps toward him."Colin..." Gwyneth's voice carried a hint of timidity as she called out cautiously.Colin frowned and turned around to look at Gwyneth. A flash of disgust crossed his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by more complex emotions.After all, Gwyneth was a woman he had once loved deeply. He couldn't completely let go even after knowing she had deceived him."What are you doing here?" Colin's voice was cold and emotionless.Gwyneth's eyes immediately filled with tears."Colin, I... I just wanted to see you." She choked up, her voice breaking."Colin, I know you're still angry with me. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you, and I shouldn't have let Zac do those things."But Colin, you have to believe me when I say I really didn't mean it. Zac tricked me into everything. I didn't know anything."Gwyneth cried pitifully, looking utterly helpless. She stepped forward, trying to grab Colin
