"Ms. Nicholls, you need to be careful these days," Riley immediately called Aspen.His brows were tightly knitted as he continued, "Mr. Fuller has gone all out this time. He's even joining forces with several companies to target you."Aspen picked up the newspaper. The headline was about her alleged unfair competition with several rival companies. The content was based on rumors and went to great lengths to smear her reputation."Ms. Nicholls, this situation has escalated greatly. Some clients have already begun to waver," Riley said worriedly. "We must quickly find a way to respond.""I know," Aspen rubbed her temples. "Colin's move is truly vicious. He wants to destroy my reputation and make it impossible for me to stand in this industry.""What should we do now?" Riley asked. "Should we hold a press conference to clarify these rumors?""It won't help," Aspen shook her head. "Since Colin had the guts to do this, he must have made thorough preparations. Whatever we say now, no o

Fuller Group's stock prices had plummeted, with market value evaporating by more than half. It left shareholders filled with resentment and complaints.After much deliberation, Colin finally decided to seek Aspen out. This was his last chance—if Aspen wouldn't let him go, he would be truly finished.Colin arrived at Aspen's office. Once, this had been his office too, but now he felt like an outsider—an intruder, even.Aspen sat at her desk, looking down at some documents. She appeared so calm and composed, as if everything was under her control."Aspen," Colin called out, his voice terribly hoarse.Aspen raised her head and looked at Colin, her gaze cold and unwavering."What are you doing here?" she asked flatly, her tone revealing no emotion."I came... to talk to you." Colin tried to appear somewhat calm."What's left to discuss between us?" Aspen laughed coldly, her eyes full of mockery."I know I wronged you before." Colin lowered his head, his tone carrying a hint of rem

The hospital was permeated with the smell of disinfectant, creating an oppressive and stuffy atmosphere.Aspen sat beside the hospital bed while looking at Aren's pale face, her heart filled with guilt and self-blame. She had been keeping vigil there for three days and nights. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her appearance was much more haggard.During these three days, she constantly reflected on all the moments she had shared with Aren since they first met, her heart filled with regret and remorse. If anything truly happened to Aren, she would never forgive herself.On the morning of the fourth day, Aren finally regained consciousness. Seeing Aspen's worn-out appearance, he felt deeply concerned."Pen, why have you let yourself get into this state?" Aren asked weakly. "I'm fine now, aren't I?""Aren, you're finally awake!" Aspen cried tears of joy. "You scared me to death, you know that?""Silly, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?" Aren smiled, trying to raise his hand to pat her hea

Colin felt as if he had suddenly seen the light. He began to place all the blame on Aspen."She's the type of woman who only cares about profit; how could she have any genuine feelings?" Colin's voice was filled with contempt."Everyone has turned against her now, with only Aren still foolishly standing by her side. Of course she wants to get rid of him quickly!""Colin, could we be misunderstanding Ms. Nicholls?" Gwyneth asked tentatively. "Perhaps Mr. Jefferson's injury really was just an accident?""Accident? How can there be such an accident?" Colin became increasingly agitated."You don't know how vicious that woman is! Back then, she was even capable of harming our daughter to get revenge on me! What wouldn't she do?""Colin, don't get agitated. You need to take care of your health." Gwyneth quickly soothed him. "I just thought that since Ms. Nicholls was once your wife, could there be some misunderstanding between you?""Misunderstanding? There's only hatred between the t

Aspen never imagined that Colin would stoop so low. He was even willing to frame the innocent Aren just to get back at her."What should we do?" Aspen paced back and forth in her office, as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof.She knew Aren's character well. He would never leak trade secrets. This had to be Colin's scheme."Ms. Nicholls, please don't worry," Riley said, trying to comfort her. "The most important thing now is to find evidence and prove Mr. Jefferson's innocence."Just as Aspen was fretting, Chester hurried in."Aspen, I heard Aren was arrested. What happened?" Chester asked urgently as soon as he entered."It's all because of that despicable Colin!" Aspen said bitterly. "He framed Aren for leaking trade secrets to get back at me. He's absolutely shameless!""That bastard is getting more and more outrageous!" Chester was furious too. "Let's go to the police station right now. I want to see if Colin really thinks he's above the law!"Chester grabbed Aspen's arm and
