“Make sure to dress up nicely, and feel free to use my card if you want to buy anything.”


    Marina’s eyes Lit up with joy. Lately, she and Laura had been Living frugally and often subjected to


    criticism and punishment. She hadn’t expected Laura to suddenly be flush with cash again.


    Not bothering to ask Laura about the source of her newfound wealth,


    Marina’s thoughts focused on dressing to impress, so she could greet a downtrodden Loraine in her


    most dazzling attire.

    Ashton viewed Laura as nothing more than a ything, so he refrained from disclosing any work-


    rted information to her. “You’ll know when the results are out. What’s the hurry? Why do you keep


    pestering me about it?”


    However, Ashton relented eventually, unable to resist Laura’s incessant queries.


    “The government will hold a press conference to announce the investigation results in a couple of


    days.”


    Laura’s eyes sparkled.


    The announcement of the investigation results meant those people would be publicly punished, right?


    Loraine and Rowan were surely done for!


    “Congrattions, Ashton. You’re undoubtedly the only person deserving of a promotion,” Laura said


    with a ttering smile.


    Ashton also felt that Rowan’s days in his current position were numbered.


    With Rowan out of the way, Ashton’s rise to power was imminent, and his mood brightened. Laura’s


    words only served to fuel his satisfaction.


    “Since you’re my woman now, I won’t treat you poorly. If you want to buy anything, just inform my


    assistant. Oh, and I’ll send you some new jewelryter.”


    Laura’s ttery intensified.


    “Ashton, trust me. Once you’re promoted, Bryant Group will surely back you up. I’ll do my best to


    persuade Marco and secure his full support for you!”


    Ashtonughed proudly, vowing to take excellent care of Bryant Group.


    That way, they could monopolize the enterprises in Vagow.


    The pair began envisioning their future filled with happiness and high expectations.


    Meanwhile, the news that the government nned to announce the investigation results at a press


    conference spread quickly.


    Marco instructed his people to monitor public opinion online. Should any negative criticism arise that


    could impact their future ns, they would need to address it immediately.
