Chapter 691
Chapter 691:
Abrial seemed troubled, ready to defend Ashton.
Yet, Ashton simply raised an eyebrow and flashed a confident grin, saying, “Have you all forgotten the rapid growth of the company that Abrial and I manage? If I can elevate a branch company to prominence so quickly, I’m certainly capable of handling those families!”
Despite Ashton’s bold assertion, the Carters perceived his words as nothing more than arrogance.
In their view, the formidable resources and connections of the three powerful families were enough to easily overwhelm most challengers in Staville.
Braden mocked, “Getting a little too arrogant from a small victory, aren’t you? Do you think running a branch makes you invincible?”
Sarai added, “I’ve heard that this man ascended the ranks by exploiting influential women. His sudden takeover of Sup Group at a bargain price has clearly gone to his head.”
The rest of the Carter family looked at Ashton with mockery and disbelief, as if he were a complete fool. Unfazed by their skepticism, Ashton knew this was the response he had anticipated.
Seizing the moment, he said confidently, “If you’re so doubtful, let’s bet on it. Give me three months. If I can dismantle the three major families within that time, then upon Levi’s retirement, I will support Abrial in taking over as head of the Carter family. If I fail, Abrial and I will leave Staville and never trouble the Carter family again. Are you willing to take that bet?”
To Braden and the others, Ashton’s challenge seemed like the delusions of a madman.
Moreover, anyone with sense could detect something unusual in Ashton’s daring bet.

If Ashton truly possessed the power to dismantle an empire worth tens of billions so swiftly, what would stop him from seizing control of the Carter family afterward?
To them, Ashton was merely setting himself up for a spectacular fall.
“Perhaps you lack experience, but you’re certainly not short on audacity. Did you even consult Abrial before making such a risky bet?” Braden asked with a cold smirk.
Yet, without a moment’s hesitation, Abrial inhaled deeply and said, “I trust Ashton can achieve it. Besides, wouldn’t you all prefer if I left the Carter family?”
Without a second thought, Braden and the rest of the Carter family quickly agreed.
“Agreed!” Braden declared. “It’s a deal. We’ll watch what you manage to accomplish in three months against the business empire built by the three powerful families!”
Levi, who normally would have intervened in such a reckless wager, remained silent.
He too was intrigued to see if this young man, so highly praised by Ennis, truly possessed the skills he was rumored to have.
Following the bold wager both parties had agreed upon, the Carter family’s turmoil subsided—at least for the time being.
