“Ash, did the Moreno family contact you today?” As soon as she entered the house, Josh approached her, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.

“Dad, how did you know?” Ash asked, a little puzzled.

Josh Turner handed her his phone. “The Moreno family has declared bankruptcy. Dexter contacted me today, but I didn’t respond. Ash, the decision is yours.”

She thought, ‘Bankruptcy? No wonder Dexter suddenly contacted me today!‘

She lowered her eyes slightly. “Don’t mind them. As I said before, I’ve already repaid everything from the past.”

“Ash, if they keep contacting you and bothering you, just tell me. I’ll take care of it for you.” Josh wasn’t worried about the Moreno family‘ situation.

He was just worried about whether they would harasse Ash.

Ash smiled faintly. “Dad, it’s okay. They won’t affect me. I won’t let those kinds of people affect my mood. Don’t worry.

“Did they just declare bankruptcy today? Have they already divided the property?” Ash was more curious about this.

She really wanted to know what had become of the scheming Samantha Moreno.

Josh thought for a moment. “It was officially announced today. A legal notice has been issued. However, because the bankruptcy was declared in a timely manner, a lot of assets were saved.

“I don’t know the specifics. My staff told me about it today. Do you want me to have someone ask about it?”

Ash shook her head. If she wanted to know the latest developments, it would be simple. The man she met last time would be the best source of information.

Seeing her expression, Josh couldn’t help but feel a little worried. “Ash, if there’s anything bothering you, just tell Dad.

“If you still have feelings for the Moreno family, it’s no big deal.” Josh consoled her warmly.

Ash thought, ‘If I really had any feelings left for them, I would be crazy!

She had expected the Moreno family’s current situation. Dexter was too impatient and always put profit first. With a temperament like that, it was difficult to achieve great things.

If Dexter had some self–awareness, it would have been fine. The most awkward thing was that he still thought he was so capable.

However, for Dexter to suddenly declare bankruptcy, someone must be behind it, Otherwise, at this juncture, based on her understanding of Dexter, he would only try his best to raise funds.

Back in her room, Ash took out the business card she had received from her last visit to the Moreno’s and sent a message to the number. [Are you free to talk?]

Before long, a call from an unknown number came in. She glanced at the caller ID, confirming it matched the one on the business card, and a slight smile curved her lips. “Hello.”

The other person said, “Ms. Turner, good evening.”

Standing on the balcony connected to her bedroom, Ash rested her hand on the railing, her voice cold and clear. “I want to know what’s going on with the Moreno family right now. Who’s behind the bankruptcy?”

“Samantha has been asking them to settle their debts and declare bankruptcy as soon as possible, but they have not agreed. I don’t know what method Samantha used to get them to agree. The Moreno family is very quiet now, unexpectedly quiet.

“By the way, Ms. Turner, you can call me Southeast.”

Ash frowned in confusion and repeated, “Southeast?”

She thought carefully for a long time but could not figure out the meaning of the name. “May I ask what Southeast means? Does it have any special meaning?”

Southeast gave his standard smile hrough the phone again, but it was a pity that she couldn’t see it. “Ms. Turner, are you familiar with the term ‘Northwest“?”

“Yes, I know. It means counterfeit or fake, right?” Then, a thought flashed through Ash’s mind, and her expression turned speechless for a moment. “So, you call yourself Southeast, meaning you’re the real deal?”

Southeast felt that he had not misjudged her. He was very satisfied that she could understand his thoughts in seconds. “Yes. Ms. Turner, you are really smart.”

Ash had never been so speechless.

She felt that Southeast was really a talent. He could think of such a thing. It was really a very tricky angle.

He asked, “Ms. Turner, what do you think of my name?”

She didn’t really want to answer.

Southeast probably sensed Ash’s speechlessness over the phone and smiled flatly. “Well, let’s skip that. Samantha’s face is partially disfigured. Did you know that?”

“I do. What happened?”

Southeast suddenly lowered his voice and even changed his tone. “It was a dark and windy night. Everything was silent. I was already asleep when I heard a loud crashing sound outside.

“I got up and took a peek. I saw her smashing things in the house. The living room was a mess, and her cheeks were bleeding. I just glanced at it and felt shocked.”

Southeast still felt a little creeped out when he thought about that night. “At that time, they all came down. They argued for a while, and then they gradually calmed down. I didn’t hear anything else.

“But I vaguely heard the name of the Shelton family. I guess Samantha’s face was caused by the Shelton family. I wonder if you know someone named Samuel Shelton?”
