Semua Bab Kicking Him to the Curb: Bab 591 - Bab 600

Colin agreed without hesitation. "No problem! Of course not! Forget consultant—if you wanted the CEO position, I'd give you that too!"Aspen chuckled softly but didn't respond to that, simply saying, "Mr. Fuller, you're too kind. I wouldn't dare ask for the CEO position. Being the consultant is quite sufficient."Let's leave it at that then, Mr. Fuller. I'll arrange to visit Nicholls Group as soon as possible."With that, Aspen ended the call, not giving Colin a chance to say more.Colin set down the phone and let out a long sigh of relief, his face showing a smile he hadn't worn in ages. Aspen had agreed to help! Nicholls Group was practically saved!Gwyneth stood at the office doorway, having overheard every word of Colin and Aspen's conversation.What gave her the right? Why was Colin so obedient to her wishes? He was even willing to humble himself and beg for her help!…Soon, Aspen returned to Nicholls Group as the company's consultant. Colin personally welcomed her with a

Everyone nodded and listened attentively to Aspen's speech.Halfway through the meeting, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open. An unexpected visitor appeared in the doorway, causing the atmosphere in the room to freeze instantly."Mr. Mora? What brings you here?" Aspen asked with some surprise, her tone carrying a hint of confusion.Gregory from Aetheris Group entered the conference room with a serious expression, followed by several Aetheris Group executives."Ms. Nicholls, everyone, excuse me for the interruption. I have something to announce to all of you." Gregory's tone was heavy.Aspen's heart sank as she sensed that things might not go according to her plan."Mr. Mora, please go ahead," Aspen spoke calmly, gesturing for Gregory to continue.Gregory cleared his throat and scanned the people in the conference room before saying, "Everyone, after careful consideration, Aetheris Group has decided to terminate our ongoing project collaboration with Nicholls Group.

Aspen said, "Let's wrap up here for today. Everyone, go home and rest well. Recharge your energy to face new challenges."Everyone stood up and bid farewell to Aspen, their faces showing hints of hope and anticipation instead of the previous gloom and despair.Aspen watched their retreating figures, and the warmth in her eyes instantly vanished, replaced by coldness and sharpness.Colin stormed into Aspen's office in a rage, his face ashen and his expression dark. Aspen was sitting at her desk, handling documents. Hearing the commotion, she looked up and regarded Colin with calm composure."Mr. Fuller, what brings you here? You don't look well" Aspen asked in a flat tone, as if nothing had happened."Aspen!" Colin roared, his voice sounded strained through gritted teeth. "Did you know about Aetheris Group's contract termination all along?"Aspen set down her pen and looked directly at Colin with cold, clear eyes. "Mr. Fuller, what are you talking about? I don't understand.""Don

After chatting for a few more minutes, Aspen and Aren hung up. He then breathed a sigh of relief.It was a fortunate thing he hadn't given himself away. If Aspen had known that Aetheris Group had suffered such losses just to help her, she probably wouldn't have accepted such a favor.Aspen set down her phone and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing out at the city's brilliant nighttime skyline, her expression complex and profound.Aren's words sounded reasonable, but the more he acted like he knew nothing, the deeper Aspen's suspicions grew. She couldn't shake the feeling that Aren was hiding something, yet she had no evidence.Perhaps she really was overthinking? Maybe Aetheris Group's termination was just a coincidence?Aspen sighed and rubbed her temples, trying to calm herself and think about her next move.…Meanwhile, Colin sat at his desk in Fuller Group's executive office, staring intently at the computer screen.Years of business battles had given him the com

Gwyneth stepped forward again, gently wrapping her arms around Colin's arm and resting her head on his shoulder.Colin didn't reject Gwyneth's closeness, nor did he respond to her words. He simply sat there in silence, allowing Gwyneth to hold onto him, his eyes vacant as if lost in thought.Feeling Colin's silence, Gwyneth was secretly delighted, thinking her gentle approach was finally working and that Colin was beginning to accept her.She redoubled her efforts to display her "tenderness and consideration", softly comforting Colin while bringing him tea and water. She even voluntarily massaged his shoulders, hoping to soften his heart and make him fall in love with her again.Colin outwardly accepted Gwyneth's comfort, and his emotions seemed to stabilize somewhat as he began contemplating how to handle Nicholls Group's crisis.Aetheris Group's termination was a fatal blow to Nicholls Group. If they couldn't find new funding sources quickly, Nicholls Group would soon go bankrup
