Semua Bab Kicking Him to the Curb: Bab 641 - Bab 650

Riley let out a weary sigh as he stepped out of Aspen's apartment building. Aspen's condition had been deeply concerning. She'd locked herself away with work, refusing to eat or drink anything. At this rate, her body wouldn't be able to handle much more."Riley." A low voice called out through the darkness of the night.Riley froze and looked up, recognizing Aren in the dim streetlight. Aren stood not far away—his frame gaunt, his bloodshot eyes shadowed by fatigue. It was clear that he'd been waiting there for quite some time."Mr. Jefferson." Riley greeted him somewhat awkwardly, knowing full well that something had gone wrong between Aspen and Aren.Being caught in the middle made things incredibly uncomfortable for him.Aren hurried forward, his voice urgent and filled with obvious worry. "Riley, how is Aspen? Is she... Is she okay?" His voice was hoarse, heavy with exhaustion and regret.Riley sighed and shook his head helplessly. "Mr. Jefferson, Ms. Nicholls is in ter

Gwyneth could no longer hold back her tears. She covered her face with both hands and broke down, sobbing with quiet, bitter sorrow.Colin watched her, a flash of irritation crossing his eyes, but he still sighed and reached out to pat her shoulder lightly, offering a half-hearted comfort. "Alright, stop crying. You know how my mom is. Just don't take it personally."Gwyneth looked up at him through tear-blurred eyes, her voice choked with emotion. "Colin, does she really hate me that much? Will she ever accept me?"Colin fell silent, not knowing how to answer Gwyneth's questions. After all, Ellie's disgust toward Gwyneth had reached such a deep-rooted level that it probably wouldn't change for the rest of her life. "Don't overthink it," Colin said dismissively. "Time will prove everything." Hearing that, the light in Gwyneth's eyes dimmed. She understood all too well that Colin's words were nothing more than a polite brush-off. He had no intention of actually fixing anything be

"Very well. Riley, you've truly proven your worth," Aspen praised.She continued with confidence, "From now on, Fuller Group's affairs will remain under your responsibility. I trust you won't disappoint me."When Riley heard this, he became even more excited and quickly expressed his commitment. "Please rest assured, Ms. Nicholls, I definitely won't let you down!" Aspen looked at Riley with a slight smile, and a thoughtful glint flashed through her eyes. Riley's loyalty and competence gave her even more confidence in the plans she was about to set in motion.Just then, Chester rushed into Aspen's office, his urgency matching the echo of his hurried footsteps."Aspen!" he called out, completely disregarding the usual formalities. His voice was filled with unmistakable concern.Aspen looked up, mildly surprised, and set down the file in her hands before glancing his way. "Chet? What brings you here?"Her tone was calm, her face even carrying a faint smile, as if nothing out of th

In the Nicholls Group office, Aspen set down her pen and let her slender fingers tap rhythmically against the desk, creating a steady tapping sound. "Riley, I want you to prepare a fruit basket," she said, looking up at Riley who stood in front of her desk with a calm tone. "Make sure it's filled with the freshest produce and everything looks perfect," she added, a faint, knowing smile curling on her lips. "And at the bottom, place a little special gift."Riley was caught off guard by the order, but the look in his eyes quickly shifted with understanding. He knew exactly what Aspen meant—this wasn't any ordinary gift.Lowering his voice, he cautiously asked, "Ms. Nicholls, do you mean..."Aspen didn't answer directly. Instead, she smirked as a glint of coldness flickered in her eyes. "Gwyneth's 'depression' performance has been so convincing... It's time she really starts feeling sick."Riley caught on immediately. Aspen was ready to expose Gwyneth's lies and make Colin see th

Gwyneth trembled as she scrambled to gather the scattered documents, flipping through them one by one."This can't be... This can't be real…" she whispered over and over, her voice rising into a piercing shriek. "No!"She suddenly ripped the documents to shreds, the pieces fluttering to the floor like snow. Then, she lunged at Colin, grabbing his arm and wailing, "It's your fault, Colin! You were cold to me! You pushed me to this!"Her fists pounded against his chest as she broke down, completely unhinged.Colin stared at the hysterical woman in front of him with nothing but pure disgust in his eyes. There wasn't a single trace of sympathy left. He shoved Gwyneth away and barked, "Enough! Haven't you made a big enough scene?" Gwyneth was pushed to the ground, and when she looked up to see Colin's cold gaze, the last shred of hope in her heart was extinguished. Ellie had initially felt some sympathy for Gwyneth. However, seeing her like this, she realized she'd been deceived to
