After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 270

As they stepped outside, Daphne stood by, staring at Asher. "If I weren't here, you'd have no one left. Asher, who else in this world would ever care about you besides me?"

"I'd rather you didn't like me." Asher ignored her and got straight into the car.

By the time JoJo's first birthday party rolled around, Adam and his team had turned their video platform into a massive success. Meanwhile, news of QuickClip being involved in money laundering had hit the headlines.

At the party, Felicity sent over a gift. Aubrey had been absent from Starfield City for the entire year. After learning that Wyatt wasn't his biological father, Aubrey, overwhelmed with guilt, chose to leave.

Elara and Lysander decided not to hold him accountable, given that Aubrey had saved their child. Barrett arrived late, nearly at the party's end.

It wasn't until then that Elara saw her father. She walked up to him and asked, "Dad, why are you so late today?"

Barrett replied, "There's been a lot going on with QuickClip. The staff there want Asher out of the company. They believe he's behind all of this mess."

""Isn't QuickClip something he built from scratch?" Elara asked.

"Sure, but the shareholders have increased, and things have gotten complicated. Either way, he won't be running the company anymore. For now, I'll be taking over," Barrett explained.

"And he's okay with that?" Elara raised a brow.

"Actually, I'm not okay with it," Barrett muttered. "It's a disaster waiting to happen. But he told me that if it was not me, he didn't want anyone else to have it."

There wasn't anyone Asher trusted as much as Barrett.

"So, how's he holding up now?" Elara inquired.

With everything that's happened, there's a chance he might face an investigation.
