Seeing that he had her attention, Ashton smiled and took out his phone, showing Briar the latest message on his WhatsApp. “Connor sent me this this morning.”

Briar had sharp eyes. When she saw the message on WhatsApp, she was surprised, then overjoyed. “Ashton, Connor says his team found Ben’s real hiding place. Is that true?”

A smile touched Ashton’s eyes as he hummed softly. “It must be true. Connor wouldn’t have reported it if he wasn’t certain.”

Briar grabbed Ashton’s hand and started to stand. “Let’s go get him now. I refuse to believe we can’t catch that old bastard when we have both DDC Vanguard and 121 on it.”

Ashton remained seated, gently pushing Briar back into her chair. “Don’t rush. We’ll catch him sooner or later, but our business is more important.”

Briar paused. “What important business do we have?”

Ashton tucked a stray strand of Briar’s hair behind her ear and said gently, “Honey, you promised me that if your two uncles could accept me, you would agree to my proposal…”

Briar blinked, first looking at Ashton’s alluring, half–smiling eyes. Then she turned to Larry, who had just returned from watering the flowers, and Ruben, who was pretending to watch the financial news while secretly listening to their conversation.

“So, does this mean neither of you objects anymore?”

At her words, Ruben calmly turned away, pretending to be engrossed in the news. Larry sat down beside him, staring even more intently at the TV screen. Their actions made it clear to Briar that they had no objections whatsoever.

Briar was speechless.

“Were you two bought off that easily?” Briar asked in disbelief.

Ruben glanced at Larry, who immediately understood the signal. He stood up, went upstairs, and returned a moment later carrying a thick stack of documents.
