In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 265

Perhaps Stacey was right – the police officers were no match for the backings that were behind Felix.

With that being said, it would be close to impossible for a certain party to exert influence to such an extent in J City because it would take more than a fortune to get one’s way around the law with ease.

“Mrs. Fuller, what a coincidence! I can’t believe we get to meet again so soon!” Felix greeted me with a bright grin, concealing the despicable side of his which he had shown in the restaurant back then.

He seemed like a completely different person altogether. In fact, he appeared to be a well-educated gentleman who could carry himself politely in front of others.

I returned the favor and responded with a nod and a smile.

Since everyone had arrived, Thomas got himself engaged in a conversation with Ashton after he instructed the waiter to serve us our meal.

Most of their topics were regarding their work, including the operations of Fuller Corporation in J City. Thomas expressed AC Credit’s intention to be Fuller Corporation’s external audit for the upcoming quarter.

Ashton looked elsewhere and replied nonchalantly, “Mr. Lowe, my wife is the one in charge of most of the operation of Fuller Corporation in J City. Feel free to get in touch with her instead of me.”

I couldn’t comprehend the meaning behind Ashton’s words because I wasn’t given the task to oversee the operation of Fuller Corporation in J City.

Although the headquarter of Fuller Corporation had been relocated to K City, J City was one of the corporation’s bases of operations. In short, I would never be given such an important role.

On one hand, Jared, who was about to finish his glass of wine, paused and looked at me when he heard Ashton’s words. After he cast a skeptical glance at me, he regained his composure.

On the other hand, Thomas smiled and denoted, “I wouldn’t have any idea of the change if you hadn’t brought it up in front of me, Mr. Fuller! It turns out Ms. Stovall is the person in charge of Fuller Corporation nowadays!”

I peered at Ashton in the eyes in an attempt to figure out his motives, but my effort was to no avail.

However, since Ashton indicated he wanted me to engage in a conversation with Thomas, I was pretty sure the topic would revolve around the audit of the corporation.

The things that should be discussed had been brought to light since the last quarter, though. I looked at Thomas and initiated the conversation, stating, “Mr. Lowe, I’m not trying to boycott your company, but the incident that has occurred during the last quarter has brought about a huge loss for Fuller Corporation. As a result, I was no longer affiliated with the company. I will never allow myself to repeat the silly mistake twice.”

“Mrs. Fuller, don’t worry! I won’t allow the same thing to happen twice either! In order to prove our sincerity, I have brought along Mr. Ludwick with me. He has always been in charge of Fuller Corporation’s audits. Fuller Corporation is in good hands with him around.” Thomas assured me everything would be fine as though he had been anticipating the occurrence of the conversation.

Judging by the tone of Thomas’ words, I couldn’t help but think Felix had a higher position in AC Credit.

When I turned around and looked at Felix, he responded with a bright grin and asserted determinedly, “Ms. Stovall, what happened was nothing but an accident. I assure you everything will be fine this time.”
