Meanwhile, as soon as Ash returned home, she was greeted by a group of people.
“Ash, are you alright? Brooke asked worriedly,
“It was all a misunderstanding, and it’s been revolved, so there’s no need to worry,” Ash said with a faint smile.
“I knew it! You’re a good child, how could you possibly make a mistake? Those people must have gotten it wrong.” Dorothy said, her face beaming with kindness, looking as if she had expected this all along
No one asked any more questions. They returned to the living room, ready to continue celebrating Brooke’s birthday.
Ash walked behind, and soon, Caspian, who had been walking ahead, slowed his pace and stopped next to her.
Jade did not expect Ash to return so quickly. “What’s going on? Didn’t that woman say she had irrefutable evidence to send Ash to jail?
Jade looked up at her, and her eyes suddenly brightened when she noticed that Calvert was not behind her.
She was certain that Calvert had seen through that little witch’s true nature. Out of concern for the Turner family’s reputation, he must have helped her resolve the issue, then left in anger.
Jade smiled a little and said, “Congratulations on getting home safely, Ash. But why didn’t Calvert come back with you?”
“It’s not your place to ask about my fiance, Ash replied coldly, her smile vanishing.
Jade’s expression stiffened as she caught her mother’s scrutinizing gaze. Lowering her head, she said in a pitiful tone, “Ash, I didn’t mean…”
Ash sneered. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve done.”
With Samantha’s abilities and background, it was impossible for her to obtain the surveillance footage from that high–end

Jade’s face turned pale, yet her tone was pitiful as she said, “Ach, did you mindermand mar difest do mything a
Ash let out a cold snort, brushing off Jade’s feigned innocence. She quickly caught up with her mother and inesty.
As for Calverts‘ absence, everyone seemed to have grown accustomed to it. As the heir of a proniors Savily be didn’t have much time to spare. His brief visit was enough, and the Turner couple dideft thick porch of t
The Moreno family residence.
Dexter and Lorelei had been waiting at home, hoping their daughter would bring good news, but instead, they reotul a summons from the police station.
Upon learning that Samantha had taken the initiative to report and ended up getting herself text to besection, Dexter’s face darkened instantly.
“Is this what you call a good daughter? You brag about how capable the is, yet the ends up doing vornehing so foolish Dexter’s expression darkened considerably. Over the years, no one from the Moreno family had ever set foot in a police station, and now the first to do so was his own daughter, and in such a foolish manner.
Lorelei had never expected that her daughter, who confidently assured them she could reponte dopeise und get ber arrested, would end up getting herself arrested instead.
For a moment, she also looked a little embarrassed.
With the family’s company already struggling, she felt like she had lost her place among her friends If they found out ber daughter had been arrested and sent to detention, she didn’t know where she had to hide her face
After a while, Lorelei slowly said, “Could the police have made a mistake?”
“That’s the Riverstone police station. It’s absolutely fair and just. You’d rather doubt the police’s judgment than admit that your daughter is so stupid?” Dexter slumped onto the sofa, his face filled with regret.
If he had known that Samantha was so useless, he would never have allowed her to report it to the police.
Now that the verdict was out, it meant that Jewel had already appeared. The Moreno family had really offended her. They had to think about what the company should do.
“Dexter, since Samantha said she has a solution, why don’t we delay for two more days and see what happens when she comes out…” Lorelei spoke cautiously.
Dexter let out a long sigh. “That’s all we can do now.”
At this critical moment, no matter how thick–skinned he was, he was too embarrassed to beg Jewel
At the company meeting of Shadow Ventures.
“Mr. Mallin, the partners we’ve been negotiating with recently have repeatedly been taken by the Snider Group. How should we address this?” The first to speak was the manager of investment department, David Johnson.
At this moment, he looked completely overwhelmed. The deals his team had painstakingly negotiated were intercepted every time by the Snider Group. They did not even let go of some small companies that did not have much development in
the short term.
The other departments beside him also spoke up, all facing the same problem.
“We’ve always stayed out of the Snider Group’s way, but recently they’ve been aggressively stealing our partnerships, even at

the cost of their own interests. The companies we selected are being pressured to abandon deals, even if it means breaching
contracts.”
Sitting in the middle, William’s expression was serious, but he was contemplating what Calvert was really up to. With such ruthless tactics against Ash’s business, he wondered if they were about to break up.
“Mr. Mallin, are you listening?” David was somewhat displeased. All the managers were anxious, yet the chairman seemed lost in thought, not saying a single word.
William snapped back to attention, his mature and composed face showing no trace of anxiety. With Ash here, there was nothing that couldn’t be resolved
“During this period, aside from that plot of land in the city, the company will pause the expansion of new ventures. Don’t go head–to–head with the Snider Group. Focus on gathering strength first.” His voice was calm yet carried a tone that commanded respect and trust.
After the meeting, William reported the bits of the meeting to Ash. Everything depended on her instructions.
