Chapter 691

Author: Maureen Green
As gasps rippled through the crowd, Aren's voice cut through like low thunder, firm and clear. "I've successfully secured strategic investment from Aetheris Group for Fuller Group. The funds are available immediately, and our joint projects will move forward together."

His gaze swept across everyone present, especially Colin, whose smile instantly froze. His carefully planned counterattack crumbled like a house of cards, and his face turned ashen.

Gwyneth's smug expression also solidified into shock and frustration, as if her entire world had just collapsed. She couldn't believe what was happening.

"How is this possible?" she cursed silently.

Louis Westbrook frowned slightly, clearly surprised by this turn of events, but then he still offered his congratulations to Aspen with a hint of concern in his voice. "Ms. Nicholls, congratulations. However, I must warn you that Colin won't let this go.

"His tactics are always underhanded, so be ready for some behind-the-scenes attacks."

    "Yes, Ms. Nicholls." Riley nodded. Then, he added in concern, "Also, there have been some negative rumors circulating within the company lately...""About me?" Aspen raised an eyebrow. Riley hesitated for a moment but decided to speak up. "Yes... They're saying you lack experience and that your unorganized management style has caused the company's business to decline. "They're also saying you have ulterior motives and only care about your romance with Mr. Jefferson, ignoring how the company is doing..." Aspen scoffed bitterly, feeling annoyed. "Whoever's spreading these rumors certainly knows how to pick their timing." With internal and external troubles hitting at once, it was clear someone was trying to overwhelm her and make her panic. She had initially suspected Adrian, but the more she thought about it, the less sense it made. With how massive his operations were overseas, especially in new energy development, he wouldn't waste his time on such petty tactics.Aspen

    Yvonne looked at Gwyneth and asked, "Team up?" Gwyneth nodded, her eyes becoming sharp. "Exactly. Besides Aren, Aspen's biggest support right now is Fuller Group, which she just got her hands on. If we can destroy Fuller Group and leave her overwhelmed, things with Aren might change too." Gwyneth's words made Yvonne start thinking. "How do we destroy Fuller Group?"Gwyneth smiled, confident in her plan. "That's where I'll need your help, Yvonne." "Me?""Yes. I know the Stevens and Jefferson families had a good relationship before, and even though it might not be as strong now, there are still some old connections and networks there," Gwyneth said persuasively. She added, "The Jefferson family has a significant influence in the business world. If we could somehow make them dissatisfied with Fuller Group's current management—meaning Aspen—or create some obstacles..."And don't forget, Aspen just took over Fuller Group. She hasn't had time to build her foundation. We could sti

    Gwyneth said, "Come on, sit down. Let me blow-dry your hair for you." Yvonne felt a bit uncomfortable but sat down as instructed. Warm air blew through her damp strands as Gwyneth's fingers gently combed through her hair, her touch slow and delicate. "Yvonne, you have such beautiful hair. It's so soft and silky," Gwyneth said in admiration. "And your skin is flawless... so fair and smooth." She looked at Yvonne's lovely face in the mirror. Then, she shifted her tone with a hint of regret. "Not like Aspen... Whenever I see her, she always looks exhausted, as if everyone has wronged her. It's just uncomfortable to look at."The mention of Aspen instantly made Yvonne's expression darken. In the mirror, Gwyneth's hand stilled for a moment before she casually asked, "By the way, it's getting late, and Colin's not home yet. Why don't you just stay the night? When he gets back, I'll explain everything to him."Yvonne's head snapped up, staring at Gwyneth's reflection in the mirror.

    Yvonne hissed through gritted teeth, "That's right! She's totally faking it! I bet she acts all innocent and pitiful in front of Aren! I won't let her get away with this!"Gwyneth casually reached out and placed her hand over Yvonne's cold fingers, as if it were just a casual gesture. She said, "Miss, you're too worked up right now, and you've been in the rain... Your body won't be able to take it." Her voice softened as she added, "My place is just nearby. Why don't you come over, change into something dry, and have a cup of tea to warm you up?" Her eyes were filled with genuine concern as she assured Yvonne, saying, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Still, I just can't stand seeing you in this state. We're kind of in the same boat, aren't we?" Yvonne stared into Gwyneth's gentle, sympathetic eyes and thought about the story the latter had just shared. Just like that, her guard lowered.She sniffled and nodded, her voice hoarse. "Thank you..."Gwyneth smiled softly, her e

    Yvonne hissed, "It's Aspen! Her name is Aspen Nicholls!"Hearing this name, Gwyneth's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly. However, her expression instantly revealed extreme shock, and her eyes widened slightly. "A-Aspen Nicholls?"Her voice rose several octaves, filled with disbelief. "Ms. Stevens, are you talking about... Colin's ex-wife... Aspen?"Yvonne blinked at her reaction, briefly thrown off, but then something seemed to click. She lit up with recognition and leaned in, looking more animated than before. "Yes! That's her! You know her too?"Gwyneth's shocked expression quickly transformed into a complex mix of disgust, pain, and anger. She took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her emotions. Even so, her voice carried a barely perceptible tremor as she replied, "More than just know her..." She smiled bitterly, her eyes slightly reddening, perfectly displaying a touch of vulnerability. "Ms. Stevens, to be honest, I-I'm someone who's been hurt by her.""What?"

    Zac's intelligence was timely. After being completely rejected by Aren, Yvonne left the cafe in a daze, wandering aimlessly down the street.By early evening, dark clouds rolled in like it was scripted, and a torrential downpour suddenly broke loose. Rain pelted down in heavy sheets, and pedestrians scattered, umbrellas snapping open as they rushed for shelter. However, Yvonne seemed completely oblivious. Just then, a black Bentley slowly pulled up beside her, and the window rolled down to reveal Gwyneth's face, which showed just the right amount of concern. "Miss?" Gwyneth's voice was gentle, with a hint of uncertainty. Yvonne turned her head in a daze, rainwater streaming down her cheeks, making it impossible to tell if it was rain or tears. Gwyneth pushed open the car door, grabbed an umbrella, and quickly walked to Yvonne's side, tilting most of the umbrella over Yvonne's head."Why are you standing here in the rain all alone? Get in the car quickly. The rain's too heavy
