Chapter 1000

Brody and the others spoke with enthusiasm and respect.

The scene left everyone stunned, and they wondered what was happening since it was nothing like what they’d expected.

“Ashton looks fine. Did they really settle this?”

“What the hell happened? Mr. Zeke actually swallowed that humiliation? Why is he laughing and chatting with Ashton? Did they really bury the hatchet?”

Murmurs of doubt spread through the crowd.

When Scarlett saw Ashton walk out, she quietly let out a breath of relief. Gathering her courage, she hurried over to him and stopped at his side, her face full of worry.

“Are you okay?” she asked.

“I’m fine.”

Noticing the worry on her face, Ashton smiled and asked, “Why are you still here?”

“I didn’t see you come out, so I was worried. And all this happened because of me…”

Out of the corner of her eye, Scarlett glanced nervously at Brody and Zeke. She was afraid they might still hold Ashton accountable.

“This is my cousin, Scarlett Lowe,” Ashton said as he introduced her to Brody.

“So, you’re Ms. Lowe. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Brody said, his eyes lighting up as he greeted her with surprising warmth.

She was taken aback. The richest man on Linton Island, and the head of the top family, had greeted her first and was even acting as if he were honored to meet her. It made her wonder why he was being so polite to her.

Scarlett shot Ashton a cautious glance and only spoke after seeing him nod. “Hello, Mr. Zapata.”

“Ms. Lowe, please accept this. It’s a gold card with my contact details on it. With this, you can spend without limit anywhere on Linton Island. All expenses will be covered by me personally.

“If you ever run into any trouble or need anything, you can call the number on the card at any time. I’ll make sure everything is taken care of.”

Brody was warm and easygoing, without a trace of arrogance. He was nothing like someone in his position.

Scarlett swallowed hard as she took the gold card from him, her hand trembling slightly. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she struggled to find the words.

“Take it,” Ashton said.

Only then did she begin to compose herself.

“Thank you, Mr. Zapata,” she said.
