After Colin left, Aspen sat alone in her office. She stared at the folder on her desk, which was filled with information about Fuller Group, her eyes complicated and unreadable. Over the past few weeks, she had moved carefully and strategically, using Riley's intel and the help Chester offered from the shadows, slowly dragging Fuller Group into an unprecedented crisis.Yet, despite everything, there was no thrill of revenge in her heart. Instead, there was an overwhelming sense of exhaustion and confusion.The sharp ring of her phone jolted Aspen out of her daze. She glanced at the screen and saw Chester's name flashing. "Hello?" Aspen answered, her voice a little hoarse."It's me," Chester said on the other end. "Are you free tonight? Let's grab dinner.""Is something wrong?" Aspen asked, her mind already heavy, and honestly, she just wanted some time alone."It's about Colin," Chester said, his voice serious. "I found something new, and I think it's important we talk face-to

The shareholders' meeting took place as scheduled, and Fuller Group's conference room was packed. Colin sat at the head of the table, his face grim, knowing full well that this was going to be a brutal battle."Ladies and gentlemen, I know the company has faced some challenges recently," Colin said, his voice low and firm. "But I believe that if we stand united, we can overcome these obstacles and restore Fuller Group to its former glory."However, his words did not spark the reaction he had hoped for. The shareholders whispered among themselves, their faces full of doubt and unease."Mr. Fuller, that's easy for you to say," one shareholder stood up and said. "But with the stock price crashing the way it has, our interests have taken a massive hit. How do you plan to compensate us?" "Exactly, Mr. Fuller," another shareholder chimed in. "The decisions you made earlier were way too reckless. Now that the company is in crisis, you owe us an explanation!"Colin felt a headache poundi

Still, Gwyneth clung to Colin, desperate to squeeze out whatever last bit of value she could. She said with feigned concern, "Colin, don't be like this. You still have me. I'll always stay by your side."Colin looked at her, fighting to suppress the irritation rising inside him. "You should go for now. I've got more important things to deal with. I can't keep you company right now."If he let her stay any longer, he knew he might not be able to control himself and would end up lashing out."Colin, everything will work out," Gwyneth said, patting him on the shoulder before she left. "I'll be waiting for you at home."Seeing that he was truly furious, she wisely stopped pushing and quietly left the room. But that didn't mean she was giving up.Gwyneth soon found her way to Chester, this time hoping he would help her get Fuller Group back. She said, "Mr. Shaffer, I know you're into Aspen. If you help me take back Fuller Group, I'll help you win her over."Chester scoffed. "Gwyneth

Aren watched as Aspen tirelessly worked to help Chester, a bitter feeling gnawing at him. He knew their relationship was strictly professional, yet seeing them grow closer left him with an inexplicable ache."Pen, do you really have to go this far for Chester? You know how dangerous this is. Why are you risking everything?" Aren finally asked one day, unable to hold back any longer. Aspen paused mid-task, her hands stilling over the documents. She met his gaze and said, "Aren, I understand your concern. But I won't stand by while Colin ruins Chester. He's done too much for me—I can't abandon him now." "And what about you?" Aren's voice was thick with worry. "Colin doesn't forgive or forget. You've backed him into a corner—he will come for you.""I know. But there's no turning back. The moment I chose revenge, I accepted the risks.""Pen—""I'll be fine," she cut in, offering a faint smile. "I promise I'll protect myself."Aren studied her, a pang of sorrow tightening his chest

Aspen sat at her desk, tapping her pen lightly against the surface, creating steady taps that echoed through the room. Her brows were slightly furrowed as if she were deep in thought, caught up in something serious. Just then, a knock sounded at the door, breaking her concentration."Come in," she said flatly. The door swung open, and Chester stepped inside. Seeing the tense look on Aspen's face, he walked over in concern and asked, "Still worried about my situation?"Aspen looked up at him and forced a small smile. "No, just thinking about a few things.""Your problems are my problems. You don't have to be so polite with me," Chester said as he placed a file on her desk. "Here. I dug up some dirt on Colin. You might find it useful."Aspen picked up the file and flipped through it quickly, her eyes sharpening as she read. She asked, "How did you find these pieces of evidence?" A glint of coldness flashed through Chester's eyes. "Remember I told you about what happened to my f
