Semua Bab Kicking Him to the Curb: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Aspen heard the sound of a car driving away from inside the bathroom. Her expression shifted slightly, and at last, she let out a breath of relief.She never would have imagined there would come a day when she feared and rejected Colin's touch. They had been so close once, but now, things had come to this. She didn't know why, but the realization left a bitter taste in her heart. She clenched her jaw as her face darkened with emotion.After washing up thoroughly, she finally lay in bed and fell into a comfortable slumber. She had made up her mind to eat well, rest well, and gather her strength. Only by doing so could she honor Sophie's memory and the final words Sophie had said to her before she passed.Sophie…Just thinking of Sophie made Aspen's heart ache terribly. Especially now that she was in the house where she and Sophie had spent so many years together. Even though Aspen had wiped all traces of Sophie before leaving, as she lay in bed now, she felt as though Sophie's pre

Aspen picked a car that looked decent enough, and she could feel the difference the moment she got in. She immediately clenched her teeth. "Damn it, what kind of miserable life was I even living before?"Soon, she pulled up in front of Fuller Group. If this had been in the past, she definitely wouldn't have had the right to walk through those doors.But today, she was driving Colin's car. No one dared to stop her at the entrance to the underground garage. In fact, the security guard even gave her a bootlicking salute. It was completely different from how they used to treat her.It was then that Aspen finally understood—real dignity was something one gave oneself. She couldn't count on others to give it to her.Thinking back, she also realized why so many people had looked down on her before. It had been her own doing. She had been too mild, too agreeable, and too easygoing. It had made people forget what the title "Mrs. Fuller" was actually worth.After all these years of marriage

Aspen was the largest shareholder, so she didn't need anyone's approval to join the company. If it had been in the past, she might have cared about Colin's opinion. But now, she couldn't care less what he thought.Everyone had started off by targeting Colin, but after hearing what Aspen said, their attention quickly turned to her. They simply couldn't accept that a woman—who, as far as they were concerned, knew nothing—could just walk into the company and get a job. Even if it was an ordinary position, it still felt outrageous to them."Mrs. Fuller, it's best if you just stay home, do the laundry, and cook.""You don't know anything about the business. Isn't that just going to cause more problems? The company is already in a tough spot. Can you not make things worse?"Faced with all this hostility, Aspen remained expressionless. She had already made it through far harder times. What were a few useless words to her now?"I'd like to remind you all that I'm the largest shareholder

Lillian wasn't blind to Gwyneth's struggles—she simply didn't care. Her heart was never with Gwyneth. All she ever thought about was her precious son.Seeing Gwyneth like this, Lillian grew even more annoyed.She snapped impatiently, "In the end, it's all because you're useless. You met Colin first—how did you just let that little slut take advantage of him like that? What can you even do? You can't even protect your own brother. Do you think you deserve to be a big sister?"For the past few days, Gwyneth had been tormented endlessly. But those people always targeted places that wouldn't leave visible marks. Colin, who was busy chasing after his own gains, had already started gravitating toward Aspen's side.Gwyneth had never endured so much suffering, so much humiliation, in her life. Now, she was filled with resentment and pain.When she saw Lillian today, she thought she might finally be able to vent about it. She never expected that the moment Lillian opened her mouth, she wou

Colin had a clear idea of exactly how to handle things. He would never let the woman he liked suffer any injustice. Even if Aspen was important at the moment, he still wasn't going to let her get too arrogant.Soon, Colin called the marketing department and made arrangements, then focused entirely on staying by Gwyneth's side. Understanding that young people needed their space—and feeling reassured Zac would be fine—Lillian sensibly excused herself and left.Meanwhile, Aspen remained completely unaware of any of this. She was completely immersed in a project.It had been years since she had done any work related to her field, and now that she was back at it, she realized something surprising—having a job was actually easier than being a housewife, especially when it came to doing something she was good at.Working in her area of expertise made everything feel smooth and effortless.Before long, Aspen began picking the whole thing apart, identifying the weak spots and patching up
