“Looks like Ms. Stovall’s not fated with Pitcoin. That’s too bad. I guess I’ll have to be the one that takes the deal,” Thora said, taking the opportunity to interrupt.
When it came to rivals in love, whoever made the first concession would lose.
“Says who!” I exclaimed, unwilling to accept things just like that. “Ms. Ziegler owns an entire listed company, so I can’t compare to her. However, God has been fair. Even if I can’t use my shares in Fuller Corporation, my birth parents, Cameron and Zachary, have enough capital for me to compete with you!”
It did not matter whether or not I was able to secure the cooperation. What mattered was to make Thora confused and let the Trivetts continue to be arrogant.
It was no use only inflicting a small injury. One had to strike the opponent with a single blow so that they would never have a chance at recovery.
Since the most taboo subject to Thora was her family members, her expression darkened. However, since there were others present, she did not make it too obvious.
Yet, not bothering to conceal anything, I raised the phone in my hand to show it off and said casually, “If you don’t believe me, I can call Mr. Moore right now.”
Before Thora could even react, Ashton got angry first.
“That’s enough,” he said abruptly with a hint of anger in his voice. His black eyes shot a dark look at me as he continued, “Scarlett, you just have something against Thora and me getting too close. There’s no need to get everyone else involved in your foolery!”
To the public eye, although Ashton’s reputation was never that of an approachable person, he still carried the airs of a gentleman. Thus, his sudden anger inevitably surprised everyone, including myself.
Is this guy trying to join the entertainment industry?
