Ashley felt a lump form in his throat under Carter's cold, piercing gaze.

Those dark eyes seemed like a bottomless abyss, sending chills down his spine. This was the kind of man who could orchestrate your downfall and still have you thanking him for it.

"Mr. Ashley. After what you did to Ms. Anna last night, how do you plan to take responsibility?" Carter said coldly as he tapped lightly against the armrest.

Ashley wasn't a fool. He knew that his life was no longe his own to dictate.

Even his father, Anthony, had to tread carefully around Carter. What choice did he have but to obey?

In the face of a superior force, the weak could only submit.

Besides, Damian was ruthless. Ashley's body still ached from the beating.

"I'll take responsibility for her, Ashley declared at last.

Sadie's head snapped toward him. "What did you just say?"

Anna's expression darkened. "Dream on"

The Sanders erupted in fury. "How dare you say that? We won't agree to this!"

Ashley knew better than to hope for an alliance with the Gardners after his actions. Sadie was nothing more than a discarded pawn now.

Since Anthony was intent on aligning himself with Carter, Ashley understood the current situation all too well.

He knew he absolutely couldn't provoke Carter's anger

With that, the Sanders dreams were shattered. The Hudsons were not to be trifled with; Anthony certainly didn't have a kind temperament toward them.

Although the two families had never dealt with each other before, in terms of company valuation, the Hudsons were far superior to the Sanders.
