Chapter 190
Chapter 190:
Several workers had fallen, sustaining broken legs, though the cause was unclear.
Their families were furious, blaming the grueling work schedule and even bringing the injured men back to the construction site to stir up trouble.
This unexpected confrontation forced the entire project to come to a halt.
Ashton raised an eyebrow as he processed the news. “Is it possible that Fraser is the one behind this?” Wasting no time, Ashton hurried to join Rosalie at the construction site to get to the bottom of it.
When they arrived, they found the workers’ families laying the injured men on the ground, angrily confronting the project manager.
Steven Blake, the apparent leader of the group, spotted Rosalie’s arrival and felt a surge of triumph. Their real target was finally here!
Steven discreetly signaled to the others, urging them to follow the plan without hesitation.
The troublemakers erupted into exaggerated wails, putting on a theatrical display of their grief. Steven then shouted, “The supervisor is here!” On cue, the troublemakers turned their fury toward Rosalie, charging at her, demanding answers.
Rosalie, caught off guard by their aggression, hesitated, unsure of how to respond.
Fortunately, Ashton stepped forward, positioning himself in front of her. His imposing presence stopped the advancing crowd in their tracks, shielding Rosalie from harm.
The injured workers’ family members, intimidated by Ashton’s cold and unyielding gaze, fell silent.
Steven tried to push past Ashton, but it was like trying to move a mountain—he got nowhere.

Frustrated, Steven shouted, “Look at this! Once again, the rich are bullying the common people! They’ve hurt our loved ones, and now they refuse to acknowledge us. They treat us like we’re not even human!” Others quickly echoed his cries.
“That’s right! They’ve got no shame!”
“Reveal all their wrongdoings! We have to expose their cruelty!”
As Ashton observed their hostile behavior, a sense of unease crept over him.
The injured men were left lying on the ground, seemingly forgotten, while their families focused solely on confronting him and Rosalie.
Could this really be an accident? Ashton couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
He abruptly cut through the noise with a commanding voice. “Enough! Let’s first get to the bottom of what happened and discuss a proper solution. We’ll provide a fair solution!”
He then leveled a stern warning. “But if this is all just a setup, the consequences will be severe!”
Facing Ashton’s unyielding stare, Steven experienced a flicker of unease, perhaps stirred by a sense of guilt. Nevertheless, he maintained a hardened facade, scoffing as he spoke.
“Your threats will not intimidate us. Our relatives have sustained grave injuries due to your actions. You cannot escape accountability!” He continued with an air of finality, “Present a satisfactory resolution, or we will not hesitate to escalate matters, bringing construction to a complete halt!”
