Chapter 671:

Unsurprised by Ashton’s steadfastness, Ennis knew his grandson well. Once Ashton was determined, nothing would sway him.

Resigned, Ennis sighed again and replied, “Alright, follow your path. Just remember, our grand family gathering is in three months, and I expect you to be there, without fail.”

Ashton responded, “I promise, Grandpa. I’ll be there.” Content with this assurance, Ennis concluded the call with a few more friendly exchanges.

Ashton set the phone down and let out a long breath. The confusion in his heart slowly faded away.

Alisha was right. There was still so much left for him to do. As for matters of the heart, those could wait for another time.

When it came to the family trial, Ashton harbored no concerns about his ability to succeed.

With Sup Group now under his belt, the Skyline Group’s branch had become a rising power in Staville, one that could no longer be overlooked. As long as things continued on their current trajectory, passing the trial would merely be a matter of time, and Ashton had more than enough in three months to accomplish that. However, his mind was occupied with a more pressing matter—the capture of Fraser.

In a sprawling city like Staville, home to millions, hunting down someone who was deliberately hiding felt like chasing shadows in the dark—a near-impossible task. Finding Fraser seemed akin to searching for a single needle lost in a mountainous haystack.

The best hope was to get leads from Fraser’s underlings. But three days had already slipped by since the initial arrest operations, and despite capturing dozens of Fraser’s men, they remained stubbornly silent. Though they had admitted their ties to the Dark Night Organization, none would utter a word about Fraser’s location.

Each man seemed willing to endure the harshest consequences rather than betray their leader, which left Ashton increasingly frustrated.

To make matters worse, there was no certainty about whether Fraser still had any hidden forces lurking in Staville. Ashton, ever cautious, had already asked Rayden to have the city’s police ramp up searches of all suspicious areas.

Just as Ashton was neck-deep in his relentless pursuit of Fraser, an unexpected phone call from Abrial interrupted his focus.

With a tinge of resignation, Ashton answered, “Abrial, can you stop calling just to tease me? I’m really busy right now…”

But before he could finish, Abrial’s anxious voice cut through the line. “Ashton, can you come to the company right now? There’s some trouble I can’t handle on my own. Please, can you drop everything and deal with this?” Ashton paused, the seriousness in her tone shifting his mood entirely.

Abrial was usually the one running the business. She seldom called Ashton for help, eager as she was to prove her competence.

For her to reach out in distress meant that something was truly amiss.

Not wasting another moment, Ashton quickly assigned his ongoing tasks to his subordinates and rushed back to the company.
