After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 202

"Are you out of your mind?" Elara's tone toward him was utterly devoid of warmth.

Asher replied, "Adair told me she came to see you. I already talked to her about it. If something like this happens again, just send her to me directly."

"If this happens again, don't blame me for making things difficult for you," Elara snapped. "We have nothing to do with each other, and yet you can't handle your girlfriend, so she comes looking for me?" She wasn't afraid of Adair, who was nothing short of a lunatic. Elara didn't want to waste her energy on her.

But if Adair caused a scene, and it got back to Lysander, he inight start getting ideas about her and Asher. As a married woman now, the last thing Elara wanted was unnecessary trouble. Asher nodded at her words. "Alright, got it."

He didn't argue with her, acting unusually patient. "But why did you block me? My number's blocked, WhatsApp too. Unblock me."

"You don't deserve to be on my contact list," she said.

Asher sighed. "What about our company's project? Are you just going to drop it? Ms. Hawthorne mentioned that moving forward, all her cases would go to you."

Evelyn served as legal counsel for several companies and had a steady annual retainer for her work.

However, she was looking to ease her workload and pass as much as she could on to Elara. Asher was well aware of this.

Elara said coolly, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Evelyn's already decided to assign your company's case to Adair. Since she's your girlfriend, it's easier for you all to handle it as a family." "I didn't agree to that," Asher countered.

"That's your problem," Elara shot back. "If you think she's not competent, there are other lawyers at our firm to choose from. But I'm out."

"Fine, fine," Asher said with a cold laugh. "Elara, you're so high and mighty. You're cutting ties with me down to the last penny. How about you stop using your dad's money then?

"Funny enough, I've been doing business with your father lately. Let's see how independent you really are."

Elara smirked. "You don't have the right to interfere. My dad has more money than he knows what to do with. He doesn't need your little contribution.

"If you piss me off, I'll have him cut ties with you immediately. I might even recommend him to partner up with Mr. Hassiron and his group instead. Want to test me?"
