A flicker of remorse passed through Bruce’s eyes as he held her close.

“Leah, I promise you a lavish wedding down the line.”

Leah offered a weak smile, staying silent. Then, struck by a sudden idea, she looked up at Bruce.

“I’ve heard Calan and his wife are quite devoted to each other. Perhaps she could be our way in?”

“Calan was one of Corrine’s recruits,” Bruce explained.

“I’m not sure how she managed it, but his backing has certainly made things easier for Ashton Group.” Bruce was unaware that his tone carried a hint of admiration for Corrine whenever he spoke of these matters.

This didn’t escape Leah.

She bit her lip secretly, her gaze dropping to conceal the chill in her eyes.

“I’ve met Calan’s wife at some charity events. She’s organizing a charity auction soon. We should attend and show our support. It might just help us turn the corner, don’t you think?”

A soft glimmer of amusement appeared in Bruce’s eyes as he grinned.

“You truly are an invaluable partner. You always come through with strategies when we need them most.”

“Well, I am your fiancée,” Leah responded, her smile radiating as she rose to give him a tender kiss.

Corrine stepped out of the bathroom just as her phone rang with a call from Karina.

“Have you seen the message I just sent?” Karina’s eager voice came through as soon as Corrine picked up.

“I’ve just gone over it,” Corrine responded, casually drying her hair. She strolled to the kitchen island and poured herself a glass of water.

“The debacle at the anniversary celebration has definitely tarnished Ashton Group’s image, though it’s not crippling. Still, things won’t be smooth sailing for the Ashton family.” The loss of five percent in market value and the southern city land was indeed a heavy hit to the Ashton family. They might not have been completely defeated, but they were definitely left weakened.

“After the revelation of Bruce and Leah’s scandal, the Ashton Group’s shares took a nosedive. The board members are unlikely to just let this slide!” Karina commented.

Merchants consistently focus on maximizing their profits. When their profits started to plunge, the board members would immediately demand answers from Bruce.

“What happens next depends on the Ashton family’s fate,” Corrine commented.

It had been a significant challenge to secure an investment from Calan. Calan was known for his rigid and conservative approach to both business and personal dealings.

“Will you just stand by and watch this unfold?” Karina questioned, her voice laden with exasperation.

“I’m always keen to seize an opportunity,” Corrine replied with a chuckle.

“Also, let’s not forget our lunch tomorrow.”

“Don’t worry,” Karina replied.

“I’ll try to head out early. It’s been ages since we went shopping together.”

“Great.”

Indeed, it had been quite some time since their last shopping excursion.
