Elena and Lucy left Bennett Group.Elena asked Lucy to go home and wait for news.As for herself, she called Benjamin, the head butler of the Bennett family residence.Since Asher had refused to back down, there was only one person left who might be able to help her—his grandfather, Harold Bennett.Whatever it took, she had to save the Rite family’s company.Benjamin answered in surprise.“Miss Wright?”He hadn’t expected her call.Elena hesitated before asking,“Benjamin … how is Grandpa Harold? I’d like to come and visit him.”She felt nervous.Would Harold still stand by her after her divorce from Asher?Harold happened to be sitting nearby.Benjamin glanced at him and lowered his voice.“It’s Miss Wright. She says she would like to visit you.”Harold’s face immediately lit up.“Of course. Tell her to come.”Benjamin relayed the message to Elena.After ending the call, he looked at Harold in confusion.“Sir, didn’t you invite Mr. Asher to dinner tonight? And now you’ve invited Miss

Downstairs, George and Rachel exchanged uneasy glances when they saw Asher coming out of Lillian’s room so quickly.George hurried toward him.“Asher, why don’t you stay with her for a while? She’s always talking about you.”Asher looked at the two of them coldly, as though he could see straight through their thoughts.“Take good care of Lillian. If anything happens to her, the Hayes family will have no place to stand. Do you understand?”When Leo died, the only thing he had asked Asher to do was take care of Lillian.He had never entrusted her parents with that responsibility.George immediately understood the warning behind Asher’s words and nodded repeatedly.“We’ll take good care of Lillian.”“Good.”Asher turned around and prepared to leave.George suddenly gathered his courage.“And what about our cooperation?”Asher answered without stopping.“Someone will deliver the contract tomorrow.”George’s face immediately lit up with delight.Rachel smiled as well.“Of course. We won’t

Asher raised his eyebrows.“Really?”He wasn’t stupid.Elena’s hostile attitude toward him in the past had made it perfectly clear that she disliked him.He gave her a mocking look.“Dr. Wright, why are you so worried about Rite Group? Your friend seems quite capable. She managed to go straight to my grandfather. She doesn’t need your help at all, does she?”Elena was stunned.Lucy went to Asher’s grandfather?She remained silent, too shocked to respond.Asher continued,“But her plan won’t work. What makes her think I’ll listen to my grandfather?”Elena finally understood.So Asher thinks Lucy was the one who went to Harold yesterday?She suddenly remembered Benjamin calling her Miss Wright.It seemed Asher had completely misunderstood the situation.Unfortunately, he had no idea of the truth.Elena almost laughed.But Asher’s next words stopped her.She wondered,Does he really mean that he won’t show Rite Group any mercy?She asked seriously,“Really, Mr. Bennett? You’re actually g

“I don’t think Mr. Bennett would want to share a table with us.”As far as she was concerned, Asher was not the type of man who ate in the main dining area. He always preferred private rooms.But Lillian completely ignored her hesitation. She turned toward Asher.“Asher, what do you think?”All three of them looked at Asher.Inside, Elena silently prayed that he would refuse.She really didn’t want to eat with him.Just having Asher at the same table was enough to ruin her appetite.Asher answered calmly, “It’s up to you.”But his answer was the exact opposite of what Elena had been hoping to hear.For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.Lillian smiled and asked, “What do you think, Dr. Wright?”She clearly hoped Elena would agree.Elena wanted to refuse, but she suppressed the urge and turned to Jonathan instead.“What do you think?”Her gaze carried an unmistakable message. She was subtly asking him to refuse.But Jonathan simply answered, “Why not?”Elena screamed inwardly.What

The following evening, the charity dinner was held at the Pearl Hotel and organized by Echoes magazine, a well-known publication in Silverton City.The moment Asher arrived; photographers and reporters crowded around the hotel entrance.Every camera turned toward him as soon as he stepped out of his car.Someone exclaimed, “Echoes magazine must have a tremendous amount of influence for Asher himself to accept their invitation.”Everyone knew that Asher disliked attending events like this.Another person said regretfully, “No doubt about it. I wonder if we can get inside and take a look. I bet tonight’s charity dinner will be quite an event.”Someone else asked, “Who’s the woman beside him? Is she, his girlfriend?”Several people had noticed that Asher had arrived with a woman, which was extremely unusual.At those words, everyone’s attention shifted to Lillian.To be honest, Lillian was rather ordinary and did not immediately stand out at first glance.But unaware of what was going th
