After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 201

"What do you mean?" Adair stared at Asher, unable to believe what she'd just heard. He had outright told her not to come looking for him.

"Asher," Adair said, her tone sharp. "Do you even know who you' talking to? You're actually telling me to stay away? Are you trying to break up with me?" Asher looked at her without offering any explanation. Adair did actually want things to end between them, especially now.

She had spent so much time convincing her family to accept her decisions. If she broke up with Asher now, all that effort would have been for nothing.

Seeing Asher's indifferent expression, she softened her tone, reigning in her temper. "At the very least, we're still partners. I even invested in your company. And this is how treat me?"

"I'll return the money you invested," Asher said calmly. "Plus, I'll give you an extra 1.5 million dollars as a bonus. The company is doing okay, but we're not exactly turning huge profits. 1.5 million dollars is already quite generous." "You think I care about that five million?" she asked.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Asher asked. "If I keep associating with you, I can't guarantee what'll happen in the future. You were bold enough to cross Lysander.

"How can I work with you? If I stay with you, do you expect me to deal with the fallout of you offending people every day?"

Adair's family had often criticized her impulsive personality, and she was well aware of it.

"Aunt Zavala is part of the Hawthorne family," Adair said. "She'll have my back."

"You and I both know who really calls the shots in the Hawthorne family," Asher replied. "You should everything is sorted, I'll let you know when to come sign the papers." go home. Once

Realizing he was serious about cutting her off, Adair stood up and walked over to sit beside him. "Why are you treating me like this?

"I just came here to vent a little. It's not like I did anything major. Even if I was wrong, couldn't you just say so? Do you have to go this far? You don't love me, do you? I knew it."

She looked at him, her eyes brimming with grievance. But despite everything, she didn't want to break up. She still had feelings for Asher.

There were so many men chasing her. She didn't know why, but the more indifferent Asher acted, the more drawn she was to him. When he got angry, she didn't mind spoiling him. She was never like this with anyone else before. Asher didn't push her away when she leaned in closer.

Adair, sensing a shift, softened her tone even more. "Fine, I won't mess with Elara anymore, okay? But do you really have to go so far as to kick me out of the company? That's just cruel."
