Chapter 1732 I Am The Clown
Nora’s smile grew wider upon hearing that. “You’re right if we’re talking about shared assets. But did you forget? You’re dead once. So all those shares were automatically transferred to Ashton’s name. And now Ashton has given them to Nat. You didn’t see this coming, did you? Scarlett, how does it feel to be betrayed by your loved ones?”
I did not need to ask Ashton anything as his gaze had revealed everything.
I would be lying if I said I was not shocked by this. In fact, the shock was so intense that my heart went numb.
Since the day I woke up, the only identity verification I had done was the card that Marcus gave me. As for the procedures such as share inheritance mentioned by Nora, they did not go through formal legal processes. I just assumed them to be valid.
First, as troubles kept happening since then, I did not manage to find the time. Secondly, as I was finally able to reunite with my family, I spent all the time hanging out with them. Plus, Ashton and I did not care much about wealth and money. I never expected my carelessness would lead to such a big catastrophe.
Without capital, Ashton’s absurdity could still be limited. However, with Fuller Corporation’s support, his deeds might bring him at least twenty years in prison.
If this is a show, I’m the only clown on the stage.
At that moment, all I knew was if I lost my calm like a clown, I would be playing right into Nathaniel’s game.
Casting a cold look at Nathaniel, I bit my lip and forced myself to calm down.
Nathaniel’s eyes were filled with excitement as he noticed the turbulences in my heart. It was as if his favorite drama had finally started, and he could not wait to watch the following plot.
“Nora, come here.” He acted like an innocent gentleman as he uttered casually, “Please don’t treat me with hostility. I merely gave my suggestion. I didn’t expect Ashton to be so outstanding. I’ve told you he is talented in this.”
I did not respond to Nathaniel as I stared at Ashton calmly, hoping to find a slight clue that he was being forced to do what he did.
Nevertheless, all I got was a cold response.
“Fuller Corporation has always belonged to the Fullers, so I have the ultimate right. The financial support for you and the kids won’t be affected at all. The whole family will still be the same.”
I sneered as deep sorrow filled my heart. “Family? The head of the family is moving toward death. Do you think we still have a family?”
Ashton lowered his eyes with a deadpan look. “I am way smarter than you think.”
He meant he was utterly confident of surviving in the grey zone of the law.
Most outlaws had the same mindset like him.
However, he was born a rich kid, and he should not ruin his life like that. Helplessness slowly eroded my whole body as I almost lost my balance.
Just when Rebecca was about to interrupt, Ashton ended the conversation abruptly. “Please send Mrs. Fuller back.”
He was talking to Joseph.
Rebecca immediately expressed her dissatisfaction. “No. He’s coming with me today.”
Ashton cast a look before telling Rebecca. “I’ll go with you.”
Everyone was stunned momentarily by his gesture. Rebecca shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t mind it.”
Upon saying that, she grabbed Ashton’s tie and walked toward the elevator boastfully. “Let’s go.”
With that, they disappeared from everyone’s sight.
A few seconds later, Rebecca’s arrogant voice came from the elevator. “Eunice, what are you waiting for? Come now!”
