Semua Bab Kicking Him to the Curb: Bab 251 - Bab 260

"Don't ever contact me again. I have zero interest in working with someone like you. You're not even worth one of Aspen's fingers," Chester said coldly.With that, he turned on his heel and left without so much as a glance back. His rejection hit Gwyneth like a brutal slap across the face.The "deal" she had so carefully crafted was tossed aside like trash, considered even less valuable than the shady dealings Chester was known for. Humiliation twisted inside her, coiling around her heart like a venomous snake."Chester, you're going to regret this!" Gwyneth hissed through clenched teeth, her voice laced with a crazed determination. "You think you can just walk away from me? Keep dreaming!"She shot to her feet, knocking her chair over with a loud screech across the floor, but she didn't even flinch. Yet, she seemed unbothered by the sound and just stormed out of the cafe.Once outside, she quickly dialed a private investigator, her voice cutting like ice. "Dig into Aspen and Ches

"Y-You're talking nonsense!" Colin tried to keep his cool, forcing the words out. "I have no idea what you're talking about.""No idea?" Chester sneered coldly. "Colin, did you really think you could cover up all the dirty things you've done? Let me make this clear—I know every rotten thing you've been hiding! If you so much as come near me again, I'll blow it all wide open and watch you lose everything."Colin's body started to tremble slightly. He stared at Chester, terror creeping into his eyes. He had never imagined that the cocky, reckless man standing in front of him could be so dangerous."W-What do you want?" Colin stammered, his voice shaking."It's simple," Chester said, his tone dangerously calm. "Stay the hell away from Aspen. She's not someone you can mess with." Hearing that, Colin gritted his teeth and spat, "Y-You won't get away with this either! I swear I'll make you pay!""Anytime," Chester said lazily, utterly unfazed. "But before you start dreaming up ways to

"What's wrong, Mr. Sanders? Are you afraid, or is it because that so-called 'evidence' you're waving around was forged by you in the first place?" Aspen pressed forward, her voice calm but unrelenting.Zac started to panic and stammered, "Y-You're lying! I would never fake evidence! This proof is real—it's undeniable evidence that you stole from us!""Then by all means, Mr. Sanders, share it with everyone here. I'm sure everyone present is professional enough to judge for themselves," Aspen said, her voice steady and commanding. Zac hesitated. He knew deep down that the so-called "evidence" wouldn't hold up under real scrutiny. Yet, if he refused to produce it, he would basically be admitting guilt on the spot.Just as the tension hit its peak, Aren suddenly stood up and handed Aspen a folder. He calmly said, "Ms. Nicholls, here's some information I gathered. It might help prove that Mr. Sanders' 'evidence' is fake."Aspen took the file and quickly scanned through it. Then, she l

"There's just too much going on at the company," Colin said tiredly. "Once this busy stretch is over, I promise I'll make it up to you."A hint of disappointment flashed in Gwyneth's eyes. "But you weren't like this before. You used to always put me first. Now, it feels like you just leave me hanging.""Gwyneth, you have to understand." Colin sighed heavily. "This is a critical time. I have to give it everything I've got if I want to save the company.""But you can't just throw me aside for the company either," Gwyneth argued, her voice beginning to break with emotion. "Do you even know how much I love you? Do you know how scared I am of losing you?""Gwyneth, don't overthink it," Colin said, frowning. "My feelings for you haven't changed.""Then prove it!" Gwyneth suddenly demanded. "Cut ties with Aspen right now! Sever all relations with her completely!""Gwyneth, stop it," Colin growled, his patience wearing thin. "My situation with Aspen isn't as simple as you think.""Why n

"I..." Colin tried to explain, but the words stuck in his throat."Colin, let me make this clear. Whatever was between us is over. Stop clinging to me—I feel nothing but disgust when I see you," Aspen said, her voice firm and final. "Aspen, you—" Colin started to say something, but Aspen had already hung up.The dead tone echoed in his ears, and Colin felt like his heart had been torn apart, leaving him struggling to breathe. When Gwyneth found out Colin had drunk himself senseless and even tried to contact Aspen, her jealousy burned even hotter.…In the days that followed, Aspen's company steamrolled through the market, while Colin's company suffered defeat after defeat. Colin was at his breaking point. Frustrated and desperate, he began suspecting the people closest to him, especially Riley."Riley, explain this to me! How the hell did Aspen steal our clients? How did she know our plans ahead of time?" Colin roared, slamming a file down on the desk."Mr. Fuller, I—" Ril
