Chapter 202 Something Is Wrong
Ron''s eyebrows furrowed as he saw Lena''s expression.
"Do you want to know who is married? Let me tell you the truth. It''s Ashley, the woman you''ve been
missing so much. She looks down on us now that she''s married to a better man. And she has cut off
rtions with us already.
How do you feel now? Is that news astounding enough?
Oh, you must have no idea who her husband is!" Lena said with a sneer.
Ron''s mind went nk when he heard that Ashley was married. The news had almost driven him out of
his mind.
''Ashley is married?
She got married?''
Ron didn''t want to ept it and retorted immediately, "It can''t be true!"
Lena was a little upset as she noticed that his face had turned pale. She hid her emotions well as she
laughed and replied, "It can''t be true? Why can''t it be true? Do you think she is still the same girl who
was constantly under your protection?
She belongs to the upper ss now. We can''t see her casually. Do you think she still respects us?
You can ask her if you don''t believe me. Let her tell you the truth."
Ron clenched his fists, tendons straining against his fair skin. "Shut up!" he yelled at her without
thinking.
She still had something to say, but his reaction frightened her to the point where her body shook and
she swallowed nervously.
"You asked me this! You asked me about Ashley! And now, you''re asking me to shut up? What do you
want? Fine, don''t ever ask me anything about her. I won''t tell you anything even if I know it!"
Lena yelled back once she had regained her senses. She turned around and left, mming the door
loudly.
Ron looked at her retreating figure, wanting to say something, but refrained from doing so.
He copsed on the sofa, a sudden headache taking over him.
Lena''s words lingered in his mind.
He looked at the photo that sat on the table, then took out his phone and unlocked it. He looked at his
wallpaper—a photo of Ashley.
She was sitting on thewn, looking at the camera lens and smiling brightly. Her ck hair fell over her
shoulders and her dimples made her natural charm stand out even more.
Ron still couldn''t believe that Ashley was married. His phone started ringing just as he was about to call
Ashley.
Ron frowned as he looked at the caller''s name and answered the call. "Hello?"
"Mr. Mu, something is wrong with ourpany."
It was Ron''s assistant, and Ron could gauge his hurry and confusion on the phone.
A sense of foreboding overcame him. "What happened?" he asked.
"Mr. Mu, you''d bettere right away. It''s difficult to exin on the phone."
Ron had established thepany, the RA Group, when he was in J City several years ago. He had
named it after his and Ashley''s initials. Although he had been abroad for several years, he was in
charge of thepany all the time. He had returned ahead of schedule to further develop the
business.
"Okay, I''ll be there soon," Ron said.
After hanging up, he stared at Ashley''s photo for a few minutes, and then left her room.

"Mr. Mu, where are you going?"
Terri asked. Lena and Peggy were not at home, so Ron thought it was best to leave a message for
them.
"I have something to deal with but I''ll be back soon. Tell Lena and my mom when theye back,"
Ron replied.
"Okay," Terri nodded as Ron rushed to the front door.
Looking at his retreating figure, Terri murmured, "Not even an hour passed since you returned, yet you
are rushing off."
Ron saw a crowd waiting outside thepany as he got out of the car. He couldn''t hear clear
sentences because of how noisy it was. The security was trying to keep them out.
"Mr. Mu, you are finally here!" His assistant wriggled out of the crowd as he saw Ron.
Ron frowned at the crowd and asked, "What''s going on? Why are there so many people outside our
company?"
The assistant looked around and hesitantly said, "Mr. Mu, let''s go inside. It''s noisy here."
Ron nodded. He didn''t know what to do in such a situation.
"Please follow me," the assistant said as he led him to another door.
The front door had been blocked, making it inessible.
"Mr. Mu," the employees said respectfully as Ron walked into thepany.
Ron nodded at them.
They headed to his office and as he sat down on his chair. He looked at his assistant and asked, "What
happened?"
The assistant set a file down on the table before Ron. "It''s a long story. Please read this first."
"Okay." Ron took up the file and began to read. The assistant looked closely at him, observing that his
face was bing gloomier by the minute.
Ron had set up thispany four years ago before his graduation, and had run it well at the time.
He had chosen every senior leader after deep consideration and had never expected this to happen.
He closed the file and looked at his assistant. "When did this happen?"
"Several days ago. He did it secretly, so we didn''t know about it. I did a survey when the crowd came to
make trouble, and I found that he escaped with our money a month ago.
He borrowed money from others in the name of the RA Group, and—" The assistant stopped talking,
looking hesitant to talk any further.
"And what?" Ron asked sharply.
The assistant closed his eyes and continued, "And it''s all money gotten from extortion."
They would have been unable to pay it back even in their heyday. And now, the senior leader had
stolen all their money.
They were at the end of their tether now.
Although Ron had been abroad for four years, he always managed thepany remotely, and the
company ran smoothly all the time.
He had built thepany from scratch and after four years of hard work, it had be sessful.
He had set thispany up without his family''s knowledge, because he wanted to prove that he could
seed without their help.
