Chapter 550

Author: Maureen Green
Aspen appeared quite calm, speaking in a casual tone. "Let him look all he wants. He won't understand anything anyway. Our collaboration with Aetheris Group has been thoroughly prepared from the start.

"All core confidential information is encrypted and stored securely. Even if he gets his hands on the documents, he won't be able to make sense of them."

Hearing this, Aren felt somewhat reassured, though his tone remained serious. Later, back in his own office, he stood by the windows, staring down at the city's glittering lights, deep in thought.

"Immediately notify everyone that all collaboration documents need to be encrypted at the highest security level again to ensure absolute safety," Aren commanded to the air, his voice low and authoritative.

A shadow in the room acknowledged the command and quickly vanished.

Aren turned and walked to his desk, picking up a folder. His eyes sharpened as he flipped through the pages. With a cold smirk, he muttered, "Good thing we planned

    "Spread the word that Nicholls Group is seriously considering Fuller Group's acquisition offer, but also mention that we're also facing some cash flow challenges," Aspen said as she turned around to face Alexa, her tone calm and instructional.Alexa immediately grasped what Aspen was implying, and a knowing smile spread across her face. "Understood, Ms. Nicholls. I know exactly what needs to be done," she replied, her eyes sparkling with anticipation for Aspen's plan....Fuller Group's legal team returned to Nicholls Group once again to conduct preliminary negotiations with Alexa regarding the acquisition details. The conference room appeared calm on the surface, but tension rippled beneath.Lincoln, the lead attorney from Fuller Group, broke the silence first, his tone formal and assertive. "Ms. Pugh, has your company come to a decision regarding Fuller Group's proposal?"Alexa kept a polite smile as she answered in a courteous but distant tone. "We appreciate Fuller Group's i

    "Colin, you're incredible. You figured out the truth about Nicholls Group so quickly and even got an acquisition plan ready—talk about being a master strategist," Gwyneth praised admiringly, her eyes filled with reverence for him.Colin smirked, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. "Of course. Aspen's little tricks are nothing compared to what I'm capable of."Gwyneth noticed his reaction and secretly smiled, knowing she'd successfully inflated his ego. She leaned in, adding with exaggerated flair, "Exactly! Aspen doesn't even come close to being in your league, Colin.""She walked away from you, and now she's nothing. Look who's practically begging you to take over Nicholls Group," she scoffed, her tone laced with mockery as she tore Aspen down to lift Colin up. Colin didn't respond directly. Instead, he simply told Gwyneth to head back to the room....Colin sat behind his oversized desk at the Fuller Group's executive office, his expression stern as his legal team stood acro

    "I'm planning to spread word that Nicholls Group's cash flow problems are even worse than he imagines, and that we might even be facing bankruptcy," Aspen continued with a hint of cunning in her voice.Hearing this, Aren's brow furrowed slightly with worry flashing in his eyes. "Pen, isn't this too risky? What if Colin really tries to kick us while we're down? We could suffer massive losses."Aspen looked at Aren tenderly, her eyes full of determination and confidence. "Don't worry, Aren. Everything is under my control. I know Colin isn't easy to deal with, but I've covered every angle. He won't get the upper hand."Her voice was calm and gentle, trying to put his worries to rest."And more importantly, I believe in you. As long as you're by my side, I'm not afraid of anything," she added, her voice full of genuine trust and dependence.The look in Aspen's eyes melted away the last of Aren's concern. It was replaced by something warmer—affection, admiration, and love.He gently b

    Colin sat alone in his study, fingers tapping rhythmically against the desk, his brow furrowed in deep thought.Gwyneth wasn't about to waste such a golden opportunity. She quietly followed him in, her voice soft and sweet, though it landed like gasoline on Colin's burning temper."Colin, don't be upset. Aspen's just trying to get under your skin on purpose," she said gently, a note of pity in her tone. "She probably thinks if she plays hard to get, she can drive up her company's value."Colin let out a cold laugh and grabbed the cigar from the table, lighting it with a sharp flick. The sharp burn of nicotine filled his mouth, easing some of the tension in his chest."She thinks she can use that to threaten me? What a joke," he muttered as he exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes dark. "Nicholls Group is an empty shell. If she weren't still somewhat useful, I wouldn't even give her the time of day."Seeing Colin's tone soften somewhat, Gwyneth was secretly delighted, knowing her words

    "It doesn't matter if dinner got ruined. We can have a late-night snack instead," Aren said gently, his tone full of indulgence for Aspen. "What do you feel like eating? Nipanese cuisine? Something local? Or would you like to cook while I help out?"Aspen couldn't help but laugh, her mood lifting almost instantly. "Anything's fine. As long as you make it, I'll love it."The two quietly discussed their late-night meal plans, filling the car with sweet, cozy warmth. Unlike their sweet intimacy, Colin's anger hadn't subsided one bit. He slammed the documents in his hand onto the desk with a loud bang. Gwyneth cautiously approached and asked with concern, "Colin, what's wrong? Who upset you?"Her tone was gentle, laced with just the right hint of submissiveness. Colin glanced at Gwyneth and cut her off impatiently, "Don't ask. I'm in a bad mood!"Startled by his outburst, Gwyneth bit her lip and backed off slightly, swallowing her frustration. But instead of reacting, she forced

    Aspen's eyes darted as she said just one sentence. "Let me think about it some more."As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up on Colin, her lips curving into a cold, mocking smile. Her tone was full of disdain and disgust for his proposal as she mumbled, "Start over? Colin, you're really delusional."This man was always so self-absorbed, thinking a flimsy line like "let's start over" could erase all the pain he'd caused. It was beyond laughable. Aren had been watching Aspen's expressions the entire time. Seeing her face darken after hanging up, he asked gently, "Pen, what did Colin say? You look upset."Aspen turned to look at Aren, the coldness in her eyes slowly fading and being replaced by helplessness and annoyance. She didn't want Colin to affect her mood, but his call still made her feel sick."Nothing important. Colin called saying he wants to acquire Nicholls Group," she said calmly, as if discussing something trivial. However, Aren caught the note of mockery in h
