Chapter 1728 A Small Celebrity
“The best life?” I asked.
“Yes.” Joseph nodded right away.
The smile on my face disappeared as I stared at him emotionlessly. “With my net worth and the Stovall family as my support, there’s nothing I can’t buy. If all I want is money, I can achieve it by myself. Why would I need Ashton for that?”
Joseph was rendered speechless by my words.
However, I was not done expressing my thoughts. “Ever since he let Nathaniel go after John, it’s over between us. The kids are the only reasons I’m willing to give him a second chance. If he remains stubborn, I might consider ending our marriage officially. Don’t ever think of seeing the kids or me again!”
“Mrs. Fuller, please calm down…” Joseph did not know how to react to my sudden rage.
I stood up abruptly and cast a hard look at him. “I’m not joking, and I am no longer the same Scarlett from ten years ago. If he dares to push me away, I will never accept him again.”
Upon saying that, I stomped my way out.
Ashton, let’s see how long you can endure this.
The moment I opened the door, I ran into Rebecca, dressed up amorously.
“Why are you here?” A sense of disgust rose within me right away. Even though I was aware of her secret past, I could not hide my resentment for her.
Rebecca let out a chuckle as she lifted her head and stared at me as though she was looking at a clown. “Haven’t you heard about it? Starting today, the entire entertainment resources under Fuller Corporation belong to me. Ashton has decided to support me.”
It was normal for rich tycoons to hook up with female celebrities. In other words, a female celebrity belonged to whoever supported her financially. That was an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry.
My heart went cold instantly.
Just a few months ago, Ashton had just confessed his love for me in public. Yet, now he used all his resources to support an unpopular artist like Rebecca. Is he taking me as a joke?
Sometimes, things would never get back to the way they were.
This time, he had crossed the line completely.
Since he decided not to involve me in his plan, I figured I could react in whatever way I wanted.
If that’s so, I have no reason to watch my husband spending all the shared assets on a worthless celebrity without any retaliation.
After pondering for a while, I cast a calm look at her. “Now I know. But…” I emphasized deliberately. “Have you signed the contract? You shouldn’t trust a verbal agreement completely.”
“Sure.” Rebecca thought I was trying to mess with her. “I’ve got both the paper and the digital agreement. Are you planning to stop it? It’s too late!”
Before I could respond to that, she spoke again. “I wonder why Ashton did not inform you earlier about this. Was he worried you might interfere? Or he didn’t care about you at all. Hahaha…”
She meant that she had a more important place in Ashton’s heart than me.
Nonetheless, I had no interest in competing with her on this matter. Since the agreement had been signed, she was officially an employee under Fuller Corporation. As a shareholder and an owner, I am obligated to take good care of her, am I not?
Even though Rebecca thought she was fully protected with Ashton on her side, her manager was wise enough to know that they should not offend me. With that, she pulled Rebecca’s shirt nervously. “Vivian, mind your words!”
She nodded to me as well to show her good will.
For the manager’s sake, I decided to give Rebecca another chance.
Just then, Joseph came out too. He furrowed his brows slightly upon seeing Rebecca. “Ms. Larson, you’re here.”
