Acquire the White Corporation?
I was stunned. I looked at her searchingly, “Did you just say Fuller Corporation is acquiring White Corporation?”
Rose nodded. “Yes. That is why Nick is suddenly piled with work. They have to do valuation before the acquisition, right? Ashton appointed Nick to do the audit of White Corporation’s accounts. That would take a while. I’m glad I meet you today, as I have wanted to thank you and Ashton. As you know, Scarlett, Nick just took over the Harrisons’ business, so he had to show results to assure the shareholders. This audit job came in just in time!”
The smile I had on my face froze. I am lost for words.
I heard footsteps behind me. Ashton walked over and hugged me from behind. Rose naturally let go of me and took a step back.
“Oh, Ashton, so you are here.”
“Uh huh,” Ashton nodded coolly.
Rose could not sense the tension between Ashton and me and happily congratulated us. “I am so envious of the two of you. You successfully conceived again. Things will only get better from now on!”
“Conceived?” Ashton took the ultrasound image from my hand and a grin appeared on his face. Even though he was smiling, it was difficult to read what was really on his mind.
“Are you happy?” I turned to ask him, frowning slightly.
On the day we conceived our baby, Marcus lost everything, and he was the one preparing to acquire White Corporation.
