Chester had always felt that he and Aspen were the same type of person, but looking at things now, it seemed they weren't entirely alike.Aren's recovery brought relief to everyone, especially Aspen, who could finally put her worried heart at ease.Meanwhile, Gwyneth paced anxiously like a cat on a hot tin roof far away at the resort, unable to sit still.Zac had discovered that all the men he'd arranged were now in prison—not a single one had escaped.It was bad enough that Aspen hadn't been harmed, but now Aren had also recovered from his injury. Everything they had done was for nothing."What? You're saying Aren has recovered?" Gwyneth's voice was sharp enough to pierce eardrums. "Didn't you say those men were capable? How could they fail to deal with a mere woman? "Aspen doesn't know anything, yet they couldn't even take down one woman. What was the point of giving them so much money? That wasn't a small sum!"Zac had sneaked into the resort while avoiding Colin's eyes to

"That's good." Zac nodded. "Gwen, if there's anything you need me to do, just let me know.""Sure," Gwyneth said. "Stay here for now and take good care of me. Also, keep an eye on Colin for me—don't let him have any contact with Aspen.""Got it," Zac replied.Meanwhile, Colin returned to Fuller Group and immediately called an emergency meeting."Everyone, the company's situation is extremely critical right now," Colin said as he sat at the head of the conference table, his expression grim. "We must take immediate measures to reverse this downward trend.""Mr. Fuller, what do you have planned?" a shareholder asked."I've formulated a series of countermeasures," Colin said."First, we need to stabilize our stock price and restore investor confidence. Second, we must strengthen our marketing efforts to reclaim our lost market share. Finally, we need to restructure internally to improve operational efficiency.""Mr. Fuller, these measures sound good, but how will they be implemente

"We'll go together then," said Aspen."Sure." Aren nodded.Meanwhile, Colin had also received an invitation from the Schmidts. He had originally planned to take Gwyneth with him to show everyone their relationship and status."Gwyneth, Schmidt Corp is hosting a business cocktail party, and they've invited us to attend," Colin said to Gwyneth while holding the invitation. "Would you like to go?""Of course I want to go," Gwyneth replied with a smile. "This is a great opportunity to make more business connections.""That's good," Colin said. "We'll go together then."Gwyneth nodded. "Colin, you're so good to me." She nestled in Colin's arms, her face showing a happy smile. However, when Colin learned that Aspen would also be attending the cocktail party, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him."What? Aspen will be there too?" Colin asked with a frown."Yes, Mr. Fuller," Riley answered. "Schmidt Corp invited her as well."Colin remained silent, his expression darkening.

Back in the car, Gwyneth remained immersed in the joy of selecting formal wear. "Colin, do you think we'll be the most eye-catching couple at the cocktail party?" she asked excitedly."Yes," Colin replied, his tone somewhat distracted."That's good." Gwyneth nodded with satisfaction."Colin, you're so sweet to accompany me to choose a dress." She nestled in Colin's arms, her face beaming with happiness.Colin said nothing, only gently patting her back. Yet Aspen's image kept appearing in his mind. It was impossible to dismiss it.…On the day of the party, celebrities from various circles gathered together. The venue was magnificently decorated, with an atmosphere both lively and luxurious.Aspen and Aren's arrival caused quite a stir. Aspen wore a light purple evening gown, looking elegant and radiant. Meanwhile, Aren was dressed in a black suit, appearing handsome and graceful.Standing together, they looked like a perfect pair and quickly became the focus of the entire gathe

"I just think that women should focus more on family," Gwyneth said with a hint of smugness. "After all, supporting one's husband and raising children is a woman's proper duty.""Ms. Sanders, it seems you have quite traditional views," Aspen smiled and said. "However, I don't see it that way.""Oh? Then how do you think women should be?" Gwyneth asked, her tone becoming somewhat aggressive."I believe women should be independent and pursue their own careers and dreams, not be dependent on men or become their accessories," Aspen said firmly. "Hmm, you have such unique ideas," Gwyneth said with a cold laugh. "But I still think it's not good for women to be too assertive.""If being assertive isn't good, is being weak better?" Aspen countered. "Ms. Sanders, which category do you think you fall into?""I..." Gwyneth was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure how to respond."Enough, Gwyneth, stop." Colin, who was watching from the side, couldn't stand it anymore. "Everyone has the
