When I flipped to the next page, a notice regarding the change in the company’s personnel caught my

eye.

I proceeded to read it out loud, “As decided by the company’s higher-ups, Ms. Scarlett Stovall has been

appointed as the president of Fuller Corporation. This change is effective immediately.”

Upon closer inspection, I realized that this notice was released one week ago.

Doesn’t this mean that it was published two days before we crafted the plan to seek out Tiffany’s

headquarters?

Immediately, I looked at Ashton with suspicion. To my surprise, he already had his affectionate gaze

fixated on me. “We’ve been married for so many years; why are you still looking at me like that?” Ashton

asked with a smile.

“I wouldn’t get tired of looking at you,” I replied. When he heard my reply, Ashton’s smile broadened.

After a few moments of playful banter, he finally explained, “I anticipated that Tiffany would take

advantage of the situation when we made our move. Hence, I made this change in advance and froze all

assets. Right now, the entirety of Fuller Corporation and all of the investments Tiffany has made to Fuller

Corporation belongs to you.”

I glanced at the file in my hands and nodded. “Doesn’t this mean that I’m rolling in dough now?”

Yet, I couldn’t find it in myself to rejoice. Right now, money and materialistic assets weren’t the things I

valued the most. Instead, I wanted to watch my children grow up in a safe environment and spend the

rest of my life by Ashton’s side.

“I suppose you can put it that way,” Ashton replied.

“Wow!” I exclaimed in mock surprise before placing the document back on the table. “Now that I know

what it feels like to be wealthy, where are the documents that you need me to sign? Why don’t you hand

them to me? You don’t have to inform me of every little thing. I’m letting you take charge of this.”

After all, he had transferred the equity to me in order to trap Tiffany. Now that things were settled, Ashton

must have shown me these files because he needed my signature to regain ownership of the shares.

This way, Ashton would have the eligibility to sign some important documents.

Although Ashton must have given me these files out of respect, he had always been the one who

handled the business aspects of our relationship. Hence, this entire ordeal felt unnecessary.

Ashton merely shrugged. “What documents are you talking about?” he asked, deliberately flashing an

innocent look.

I couldn’t help but shake my head in exasperation. What trick is he trying to pull now? ”I’m talking about

the document which will transfer all of my shares to you. You aren’t going to leave this wealth to me,

right?”

Ashton’s grin widened as he smiled in amusement. “Why not?”

I frowned and gave him a doubtful look. “Ashton, this isn’t funny.”

To any other young woman, Ashton’s “gift” would have made them giddy with joy. However, I’m not naive

enough to be fooled by his trickery. If I take over such a huge corporation, I would spend the rest of my

life working my fingers to the bone. Ashton is just dumping all of the work onto my shoulders.

Ashton let out a heavy sigh as he pushed the file toward me again. “This is a betrothal gift,” he said

solemnly.

Betrothal gift? ”What?” I couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Earlier, you said that we have been

married for so many years. Why are you talking about that now? Grandpa gave it when we first got

married. There’s no such thing as paying it twice. Mr. Fuller, even if you want to quit, shouldn’t you give

me a better excuse?”

Ashton leaned back into his chair as he stretched his body languidly. With his arms crossed together, he

closed his eyes. “Looks like I can’t hide anything from you,” he murmured.

The secret to a perfect marriage is to keep your wife as happy as a lark. From my viewpoint, it looks like

Ashton is trying to do the exact opposite!

I shook my head with a smile. “Let’s stop joking around. You should get Joseph to prepare the

documents. The earlier I sign it, the earlier we can leave. Besides, we shouldn’t keep our guests waiting

too,” I reminded him.

After all, the couple looking to adopt Shaun was still waiting for our arrival. Making them wait for us was

not a sign of good hospitality.

All of a sudden, Ashton said casually, “Why don’t you marry me?”

It felt as if time had come to an abrupt halt. I couldn’t even believe my own ears. “What did you just say?”

I gaped at him as I tucked a stray lock of hair behind my ear.
