Semua Bab Kicking Him to the Curb: Bab 121 - Bab 130

The more Aspen thought about how she had held so much power all this time and yet never used it—how she had even let the maids push her around—the more she wished she could travel back in time and slap herself a few times.It seemed her pregnancy brain had lasted way longer than it should have.None of the maids dared to talk back anymore. No matter how things turned out, whether it escalated or not, at the end of the day, Aspen was family. If things truly fell apart, as bottom-rung employees, they would still be the ones who suffered the most.Though bitter and unwilling, they all packed up and left one after another. With the house finally quiet for once, Aspen thought she would be able to rest well that night. But to her surprise, another uninvited guest showed up.Could life not give her a single break?Aspen suddenly realized just how miserable her life had been before. What had she even been thinking back then? For the first time, she felt that sometimes a person couldn't

After hearing those words, Aspen gave a soft laugh and said, "It's not that I've just become like this now. I've always been this way. I only acted differently because of Colin. But now, I just want to be myself."After saying that, she turned and walked outside. When she married Colin, he had given her a bank card.From that point on, he had used that card to control her—if she didn't behave the way he wanted, he would cut off her access to money. It had been her only source of financial support.But things were different now. With Hector's will, Aspen could go directly to the bank and withdraw her rightful share.Holding the new bank card in her hand, Aspen felt a heavy ache in her heart. Her eyes turned red as she whispered, "If only I'd had this card that night, my Sophie wouldn't have left me.""Mrs. Fuller, I know you're heartbroken that Ms. Fuller is gone. But her illness really had no cure. One more day would've just meant one more day of pain. The way she left… maybe that

"You're twisting the truth and being ungrateful. It's not just your brain that's messed up—your character's rotten too," Aspen snapped as she stomped hard on Colin's foot.She didn't hold back at all—it was pure rage, aimed to let out all her frustration. Sure enough, Colin let go of her instantly, groaning in pain. He looked at her like she had lost her mind, shouting, "Are you out of your mind?"Aspen yelled back, "Yeah, and I thought I made that obvious. Now, get out! I've got work in the morning!"Without giving him a second glance, she turned and headed upstairs. Just looking at him made her feel sick to her stomach."Aspen! Don't forget, this is my apartment!" Colin shouted from behind."Great. Kick your parents out, and I'll move back into the Fuller residence," she said, pausing halfway up the stairs with a smirk on her face. At that moment, she stood above him, while Colin was still on the ground floor. From her elevated position, her eyes gleamed with nothing but c

"That's quick!" Aren stared at Aspen in disbelief. He had always known she was skilled, but this was on another level. She was brilliant."This is insane," he muttered under his breath."Stop with the nonsense. Go back and test it. If everything works, remember to pay up. 200 grand—not a penny less, or we're going to have a problem."She wasn't overcharging him. After all, patching a vulnerability like that would have cost the same, if not more, from a professional firm. So, 200 grand was the lowest market price."You're actually charging me for this?" Aren blinked, half laughing, completely thrown by her tone.Aspen rolled her eyes. "Why wouldn't I? You were going to pay someone anyway. It might as well be me.""Okay, okay. I'll pay. If it all checks out, you'll get the money. Happy now?" Aren chuckled. Honestly, even if she added another zero to that price, he wouldn't mind it.Watching Aspen stand there, looking confident and sharp, Aren felt a wave of relief wash over him.

Within minutes, the employee group chat exploded.Employee A: "No way. The mistress and the wife are working under the same roof? One's a deputy director, and the other's just a regular employee?"Employee B: "Rich people play wild, but this is next level!"Employee C: "Hope none of you actually think status comes from job titles. Mr. Fuller favors who he favors. You better choose your loyalties wisely!"Aspen immediately lifted her gaze when she heard Colin's voice. The moment she saw Colin's and Gwyneth's fingers interlocked, she almost laughed out loud. She asked, "Was the board even informed of this kind of personnel change?" "Colin, abusing your power to play favorites? Not exactly a good look," she added, standing with her arms crossed as she stared him down.Did he seriously believe he could sneak his little girlfriend into Fuller Group? He could dream on.Colin sneered. "Aspen, you're just a regular employee now. You don't have the right to speak to me that way. I'm t
