When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1296


    I pursed my lips and gave no reply.


    Indeed, a woman who took the words “quote your own price” at face value seriously should not be


    smart enough to hoard Fuller Corporation’s stocks. However, I needed to thank Thora for indirectly


    giving me an excuse. Otherwise, I would not be able to find a reason to reject the extra two billion she


    offered for no reason.


    Our gazes locked for a while before Thora suddenly looked like she remembered something. She stood


    up abruptly, grabbed her bag, and turned around. After she took a few steps, she froze in her tracks


    and nced back at me coldly. “I’ll change your mind.”


    “I’m looking forward to it.” I pretended to look listless and leaned against my chair, looking like an


    ignorant hooligan.


    Not staying for long, Thora exited the room.


    Immediately afterward, I dialed Ashton’s personal number.


    When he picked up the call, he spoke before me. “Did Thora look for you?”


    I smiled and nodded. “You’ve already guessed it?”


    “Pitcoin is so profitable now, but the Ziegler family can’t dabble in it. Considering how strong-headed


    Thora is, she’ll definitely not let this opportunity go. But since this is such a risky investment, she can’t


    possibly involve herpany in it. Naturally, she’d want to use me. Since you’re the secondrgest


    shareholder in thepany, there’s no one else who she’ll look for,” exined Ashton calmly.


    However, I was still puzzled. “Didn’t the Ziegler family coborated with the Trivett family previously?


    Why didn’t the Trivett family rope them into partaking in such a profitable opportunity?”


    It was only after listening to Ashton’s exnation that I understood the reason why the Trivett family fell


    out with the Ziegler family. It was all because of Mitchell.


    Carolyn, the youngest daughter in the Trivett family, was a lively, smart, and beautiful girl. Everyone in


    the family adored and doted on her. It was also precisely because of that that her personality was quite


    wild and proud—she could not stand any injustices at all. Back then, Mitchell’s horrible reputation was


    already known to all. To protect her, the Trivetts carefully prevented her from meeting him. They even


    chose the second-best elite school in the city so that they could avoid the unfortunate incident of


    Mitchell taking a liking to Carolyn.


    However, K City was not exactly arge ce. The children in the upper-ss society usually


    frequented the same few ces. At the birthday party of the son of a listedpany’s president,


    Mitchell met Carolyn and a conflict broke out. Yearning for revenge, Mitchell stopped the Trivetts’ car


    the next day, kidnapped Carolyn, and forced himself upon her.


    After the incident, the Trivetts sent Carolyn overseas and cut off all ties with the Ziegler family.


    “Mitchell really sabotaged his family a lot, huh?” I could not help butment.


    “He’s irrelevant. Mentioning him will only ruin our mood.” Ashton sounded like he was short on time and


    immediately changed the topic. “Thora won’t give up so easily. She might have some other tricks up


    her sleeve, so be on your guard.”


    “Okay.” I knew that he was worried, but I did not want him to tire himself out excessively. Hence, I said


    jokingly, “You’ve personally tested Millie’s capabilities. The Stovall family has also sent a bunch of


    bodyguards to protect me. I doubt anyone can harm me. On the other hand, are you sure that you want


    to be involved in Pitcoin?”


    Pitcoin was quite a shady transaction. Naturally, I did not support it. If Ashton had other ns in mind, I


    needed to know them well so that I could react ordingly when I was up against Thora.


    “What do you think? With both our capabilitiesbined, is there a need for us to seek such quick


    profits?” Ashton’s light-hearted tone made me feel much more relieved.


    It was rare to see Ashton so proud. Laughing, I said, “I know what to do now.”


    After a slight pause, an ingenious idea surfaced in my mind. “Since Thora wants to be involved in


    Pitcoin at all costs, why don’t we y along with her and sabotage her n?”


    When Ashton heard that, he suddenly chuckled.

    “Why are youughing?” I was a bit puzzled. After all, in my point of view, it was always better to make


    the first move.
