When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1119


    Ashton knitted his brows, and his expression turned grim as he replied, “Got it. Schedule a meeting for


    me tomorrow. Get all the department heads to attend it.”


    Once again, I recalled what Emery told me. I asked Ste, “Are these the existing projects in J City or


    the new ones in K City?”


    The Fuller Corporation had a strong presence in J City, and the entire construction industry depended


    on them. Hence, it was unlikely for thesepanies to burn bridges with them so easily.


    “The new projects, Mrs. Fuller,” Ste answered.


    A line formed between my brows. It looks like Emery was right. Those people in K City have started


    making their moves now because they are jealous of Ashton.


    Ashton took a nce at me and closed the file. He then turned to Ste and said, “You can leave now.


    I’ll call you when I need you.”


    “All right.” Ste then walked out of his office.


    Ashton immediately turned his attention to me the moment Ste shut the door. “Tell me what you


    know.”


    “Hmm?” I froze for a bit and gave him a confused look.


    Ashton sighed and said, “You’ve distanced yourself from the Fuller Corporation for quite some time,


    and you don’t know much about the construction industry either. Therefore, you wouldn’t have asked


    Ste that question all of a sudden unless you heard something from someone. We’ve been married for


    ten years, Scarlett, so I can read your mind easily.”


    Hearing that, I let out augh. I was pretty sure he could still read my mind even if we were not married


    since he was good at doing that. “All right, you got me. I came here to discuss this with you.”


    This sabotage was noughing matter. I ced my hand on his and looked at him seriously. “I know


    you’re a capable man, but can you not push yourself past your limits at this point? You’ve just relocated


    thepany’s headquarters to K City. Why don’t you strengthen thepany’s foundation first before


    considering the financing project? Since you agree that something’s amiss with the GW Group too, why


    don’t we take a step back and reevaluate our options?”


    Ashton’s eyes darkened as he squinted them. Then, he went deep in thought before asking, “What did


    Emery say to you?”


    Although he did not sound annoyed, his tone was intimidating nheless. I twitched my lips and


    answered matter-of-factly, “She’s only worried for us.”

    Ashton kept mum for a moment and walked to his desk. “I’ve been managing this corporation for years.


    Do you really think I’m unaware of the concern Emery told you?”


    After a brief pause, he started looking for some documents from a drawer under his desk. Then he


    walked up to me and tapped on the documents. “Construction and trading are the two major sources of


    ie for the Fuller Corporation. Before shifting my focus to K City, I’ve established my connections


    here, so by right, everything’s good to go. Yet, take a look at all these documents. They all turned their


    backs on me. Even those who have yet to leave are merely staying temporarily because of the Moores.


    They might not end up signing the contract with us too.”


    After going through all four documents, I realized that the sum involved in these projects was at least


    ten million. That was a lot of money.


    Without connections and resources, apany could never run a business properly. This was exactly


    the problem Ashton experienced when he made a foray into K City.
