I thought he would have been done after that question, but he piped up again soon after. “Ms. Stovall, if I remember correctly, you used to be the project director for the Fuller Corporation. Do you remember why you left?”

I was surprised as I hadn’t guessed that he would suddenly ask about that. Without waiting for my answer, he looked at Armond and smiled. “Mr. Murphy, do you know about Ms. Stovall’s past?”

How could he?

Back then, I left Fuller Corporation because I had gotten framed. Despite that, Ashton had destroyed all the evidence and did not let even the slightest bit of news get leaked about it. There were barely any people who actually knew about the incident.

He was clearly asking Armond so he could use this chance to humiliate me.

Armond looked and me and said calmly, “Everyone has their own past. I don’t know what she used to be like, but now I know that she’s a very talented person. After all, don’t you have your own history too, Mr. Fuller?”

Armond was clearly avoiding the question.

Ashton smiled. “How open-minded of you, Mr. Murphy. Still, we can’t deny the fact that someone’s past will certainly affect their future. While the Fuller Corporation does in fact consider our partner’s capabilities, we also take into account their values.”

His words clearly had a double meaning to them. The audience had probably already started doubting the reason behind Fuller Corporation’s decision to fire me all those years ago.
