Chapter 594:
After a moment’s silence, he flashed Fraser a genial smile and said warmly, “It’s been a while, Mr. Horton. Has the Horton family come to Staville to expand their ventures? With the myriad projects on the table at this event, I trust we won’t be butting heads, right?”
Fraser scoffed, barely masking his irritation. “It’s been a while? You were probably hoping we wouldn’t cross paths here.”
Ashton feigned perplexity in response. “Why would you say that, Mr. Horton? You’re a close friend of Rosalie’s and have always looked out for her. Of course, I’d want to see you.”
Fraser’s anger surged, his voice laced with fury. “How could you even bring up Rosalie? Do you comprehend the depth of your betrayal? I stepped back from Rosalie, honoring her choice to be with you, all the while hoping you would cherish her. What do I discover instead? You took the helm of the Staville project as she trusted you and returned to Inewood, only for you to start flirting with another woman the moment her back was turned? How do you justify such a betrayal of her trust? Your disloyalty disgusts me!”
Ashton, his smile unwavering, replied with a smooth, calculated tone. “Mr. Horton, please, let’s not hastily make accusations. It would be most unfortunate if Rosalie were to hear of this and misinterpret the circumstances. Such misunderstandings could be quite detrimental.”
Despite the grave accusations, Ashton’s facade of serenity remained unbroken, a stark contrast to Fraser’s simmering rage. With a derisive snort, Fraser mocked Ashton’s poised demeanor. “Oh, the noble charade endures, doesn’t it? If you’re audacious enough to commit such deceit, be man enough to face its revelation. Your veneer has slipped, and it’s time Rosalie saw the man lurking beneath.”
With that declaration hanging in the air, Fraser’s fingers danced across his phone screen with a confidence that bordered on arrogance, dialing Rosalie’s number as his gaze flicked toward Ashton—a silent challenge hanging in the air.
Abrial had always been a formidable presence. She was unyielding, sharp, and unapologetically direct. Even before she changed her opinion about Ashton, she had never been friendly to him.

Now that a stranger suddenly appeared and tried to threaten Ashton, her protective instincts immediately kicked in. She snapped, “Who the hell are you? This matter is between Ashton and me. It has nothing to do with you. Don’t block our way. We need to attend the bidding event. Fuck off!”
Fraser was stunned, not expecting Abrial to be this rude. But when he regained his composure, his eyes narrowed as he sneered, “If I remember correctly, you are Abrial Carter, the eldest daughter of the Carter family, right? As far as I know, there are so many men pursuing you. Why do you still shamelessly choose to be the other woman? You even dare to be so arrogant!”
As soon as he said this, Fraser suddenly remembered something. He continued mockingly, “Oh, I get it. You must think that Ashton, the so-called head of the branch company of Skyline Group, is so great that you took the initiative to sleep with him. Well, let me tell you some harsh truths to wake you up. For your information, this man you are protecting lives off other women. He only got his current position by winning the favor of the eldest daughter of the Campbell family in Inewood. Otherwise, he would only be a useless son-in-law kicked out by a minor family in Inewood. How can he be qualified to hold such an important position?”
