Ashton had moved the headquarter to K City due to the abundant resources and information that was available there. Stacey was right – the conglomerates from K City would never allow such an ambitious and capable man to get a share of the limited wealth the city had to offer.
The Moore family did a great job of disguising their actual motive – they wished to acquire Fuller Corporation through Rebecca’s relationship with Ashton.
If Ashton and Rebecca got married, the Moores and the Fullers would be affiliated with one another. By then, the Moore family would have nothing to lose. Instead, they would gain access to all sorts of information and resources through Ashton.
All things considered, I couldn’t figure out the sort of past Ashton and Jared had.
“I can barely recall the things that have occurred back then, but allow me to express my utmost gratitude to you, Stacey. Although I’m grateful, I can’t possibly put my future at stake for your sake because helping you is going to expose me to immeasurable risk.”
Even though I couldn’t help but sympathize with the things Stacey had to go through, I wouldn’t necessarily offer my help because I was never a kind woman.
In fact, if the Moore family couldn’t win Ashton over, they would consider him a foe in the future. Since I was Ashton’s wife, I would have to get myself ready to go against Jared and the Moore family with him.
Considering the number of foes we had to be wary of, I couldn’t afford to offend the nasty and pretentious Felix anymore.
Stacey felt dejected and decided to push her luck for one last time. She said, “Ms. Stovall, I’m conscious of your concerns, but what if I trade my future for my freedom? I’m sure you’re aware of my capabilities and educational background, aren’t you? As long as I get to leave Felix, I’ll infiltrate the Moore family on your behalf!”
She’s willing to infiltrate the Moore family on my behalf?
I peered at her in the eyes and confronted, “Are you trying to deceive me? Cameron and Zachary can easily get their hands on our relationship. What are you going to do if they find out you used to be my subordinate for two years?”
She chuckled because she found my words hilarious. “Do you really think the Moore family has time for such a trivial matter?”
“You can’t deny the fact you used to be affiliated with Fuller Corporation, can you?” Stacey was a capable woman. Hence, it would be odd if she were to tell others she had been unemployed ever since her graduation.
She looked at me in return and asked, “As long as you get John to do you a favor, he will never say no, won’t he?”
I raised my brows in surprise as I was shocked by the amount of information she possessed regarding my closed ones.
Due to my skeptical look, she sat upright and asserted, “Ms. Stovall, you don’t have to worry. I started gathering all sorts of information after Felix showed his true colors once you left J City. I had been keeping an eye on the things back in K City because I was pretty sure I was the only one who could be of aid to you.”
“Are you insisting I should offer my help?”
