When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Chapter 141

Hearing my silence, he must have thought that I was still unable to let it go. Hence. he said, “HiTech is still yours. No matter what happens from now on, it’ll always be yours. Please rest well for the baby.”.

“Ashton,” I called out, my voice slightly rough. “About the accident that happened when you sent Rebecca to K City and the Fuller Corporation’s emergency. Were these all part of your plan?”

These two incidents had happened too coincidentally, and after they happened, I ruminated over all kinds of possibilities. The only possibility I dared not think about was the possibility that they were all part of Ashton’s plan.

He looked at me with a stern gaze. “Are you suspecting that I’ve used you as the scapegoat?”

My heart ached as I stared at him. “From the moment I entered the company, I’ve been in charge of the projects. I’ve never done any marketing and auditing jobs. Yet, after completing Dr. Ludwick’s case, you put me in charge of the audits for Fuller Corporation and HiTech. Based on what I gather from how you usually work, you’d give me only one case at a time. However, you’ve given me both at the same time.”

At that, he raised his brow. “Go on.”

I shifted my body to find a more comfortable position to lie in before I continued, “You say it’s my punishment for delaying Dr. Ludwick’s final payment, but it’s just a cover. The two major problems that Fuller Corporation faces after listing are the capital chain and financial risk.”

“Fuller Corporation’s funds have always been the most sufficient among the listed companies. Why do you think that the Fuller Corporation will be short of funds?”

Looking at how confident he was, I could not help but laugh. “If your funds are sufficient, why did the company lose tens of millions just because Dr. Ludwick delayed his final payment by a few days?”

I continued, “Fuller Corporation’s emergency is just part of your plan. During those few days, you eliminated the stockholders who could not survive and bought their stocks at low prices. When Fuller Corporation returned to normal, these stock prices would be then sold at a higher price. In this way, the Fuller Corporation’s market value will
