Chapter 141: Chapter 143

Ashton hadn’t been at ease these days. After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he had done something very stupid. He shouldn’t compromise with Itzel for a moment of peace.

He knew very well what kind of person Itzel was. She would never have anything to do with him like she had said. He might as well think of a way to deal with her if she came to threaten him again. He had to think twice before he went to find Elliot.

Elliot was very surprised by Ashton’s visit. He invited Elliot to sit down and poured him a cup of tea personally. Ashton took the cup of tea and took a sip. “I came today to ask you for a favor.”

“As long as I can do it, I will try my best.” Elliot was very straightforward.

“This is very easy for you. I want to ask you to help me settle down abroad with Amber.”

“Is Amber willing to leave?”

“Help me settle the migration first. When the time comes, she will naturally leave. After all, her purpose of coming back is to save Mel.”

“Alright, I’ll get someone to do it right away.” Elliot readily agreed.

Elliot’s straightforwardness made Ashton very happy. He opened his bag and took out a few drawings from it and placed them in front of Elliot. “I won’t let you help me for nothing. This is a reward.”

“This is?” Elliot picked up the drawing and looked at Ashton in surprise. Wasn’t this the design of the sports ground? How could Ashton have this?

“I’m D. This is the design of the venue for this sports meeting,” Ashton said.

“You’re Dyou?” Elliot came to his senses after a moment of surprise. No wonder he felt that Ashton was strange. So that was why.

“I’ve given you the Forging Design for the Deputy Arena. I’ve given you the Forging Design for the Main Arena, Itzel. I’m guessing she’ll soon give it to Rodney.”

“Are you asking the Barron Enterprises to cooperate with the Parableutions to build a sports meeting?” Elliot asked.

“No! Although the sports meeting will be more perfect for the two companies, to be honest, I never thought about letting Rodney’s company develop. I designed these venues for leisurely. I originally planned to give you all these pictures, but I didn’t expect that there would be an accident.”

Ashton told him about Itzel’s threat and his relationship with Itzel and Ashley.

“I’m not the real Ashton. The real Ashton died not long after I returned to South City. At that time, my parents died, and I was disheartened because of the huge compensation. In order to prevent me from being found, Ashley temporarily let me live in the tube-shaped apartment she bought for Ashton. Only Channing and Ashley and Itzel knew the truth. Everyone thought I was Ashton. At first, I just wanted to avoid worldly troubles, but I didn’t expect it to become a disadvantage.”

“Itzel is your biological sister? I can’t believe it. Although you’re not the real Ashton, in terms of seniority, you’re still Amber’s uncle. You didn’t do anything bad. Why are you afraid of Itzel?”

“Back then, I lived in seclusion in South City not only because I was disheartened by the misfortune, but also because of my feelings.” Issac young master sighed.

“I love Ashley deeply like your father, and this kind of relationship is not allowed. Itzel knows what I am thinking. She threatened me. If I don’t help her, she will tell others my feelings for Ashley. I don’t want Ashley to be criticized after her death, and I don’t want Amber to know that I am not her biological uncle.”

“You don’t have a blood relationship with Ashley . Besides, you haven’t revealed your feelings. I think Amber can understand you.” Elliot thought for a moment and comforted him.

“Amber won’t understand. I’ve lived like this for most of my life, and I don’t want anything to happen at the last moment. I’ve thought about Itzel’s character carefully, and I can’t trust her. Let her continue to bother me and talk about these adult things. It’s better for everyone to stay away from me.”

“Well, since you have made up your mind, leave all this to me. I will inform you soon.”

Ashton saw that Elliot was planning to migrate, and Channing was also in trouble. Tim, chairman of the board, had brought him a lot of trouble by sneaking away with money.

When Tim made a name for himself in South City, he didn’t try to get close to him. Channing had also invested in Timid Company and became a hidden shareholder. Only he and Tim knew about this.

Because Tim’s management had always been very good. In order to gain more benefits, Channing came to Tim and said that he needed money to open a branch company. He gave a batch of funds to Tim in an emergency by special means.

They had agreed to return it in a month, but they never dreamed that Tim’s company’s capital was not enough. The so-called new company was just for collecting money. As soon as he gave the money to Tim, Tim immediately fled abroad with money.

The funds borrowed from the company were a total of one billion yuan. How could Channing have so much money to make up for this loophole? So he seemed to be in a hurry during this period of time.

Coincidentally, the higher-ups also heard the news and asked him to come forward to talk about this matter. These years, the higher-ups had a good relationship with Channing, so they asked him to find a way to block the hole and let it go.

Since Channing had cooperated with Tim to start the company, he had only gotten some dividends. There were only a few million in total. The gap of one billion yuan was so big that how could he make up for it?

The only person he could ask for help with was Rodney. However, this was not a small sum of money. If there were a few million, Rodney might be able to help him. He was not certain that Rodney would help him with these one billion dollars.

Rodney had no interest in Celia. Channing was sure that Rodney would not pay for him because of Celia. He thought of Amber, who had always been obsessed with Amber. Maybe he would help him because of Amber.

When he came back, it happened that Celia had attacked Amber. Channing had just taken the opportunity to lie down in the hospital and think of a way. Rodney’s innocence on TV had let Channing see hope. Rodney would rather let his mother take the blame and clear up Amber’s name. It could be imagined how infatuated he was with Amber. The hope in Channing’s heart became stronger.

Therefore, Rodney proposed to cancel the engagement with Celia and Amber. At first, he didn’t object to it. That day, he asked Rodney and Amber to go home for dinner. He wanted to tell Rodney about it, but he couldn’t say it out loud. It was urgent now, so he couldn’t delay any longer. Therefore, Channing just had an appointment with Rodney.

“I’ve encountered some trouble recently. I would like to ask you to help me.”

Rodney already knew what had happened to Tim. He guessed that Channing’s help should have something to do with this matter. “Tell me about it.”

Channing had just told him about Tim’s escape with money. He was too embarrassed to say that he had colluded with Tim in order to collect money. He only said that he had a good relationship with Tim, but he didn’t expect him to be such a person. He actually took the money and fled, leaving the trouble for him.

Rodney pondered for a moment. One billion yuan was not a small sum, but it was nothing to him. But should he tell Amber about it?

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Channing thought that Rodney wouldn’t agree. He began to panic. “I didn’t ask you to take it for nothing. Give me the loan receipt. I have a few family heirlooms. I’ll pledge them to you first.”

As he spoke, Channing opened the box he carried with him. He took out the painting and showed it to Rodney. “This is an ancient painting passed down from generation to generation. It was estimated to be over a hundred million years ago.”

Rodney was stunned. Channing’s family didn’t seem to be an aristocratic family. How could there be an ancient painting that contained over a hundred million yuan? He picked up one and opened it.

“It’s not a fake. Don’t worry, it’s a real ancient painting.” Channing just thought that he didn’t believe it, so he immediately explained. “This painting has been in my hands for more than 20 years. If it hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have taken it out.”

It was rare to see Channing in such a panic. It seemed that he was really anxious this time. Rodney smiled faintly and said, “I know. I’ll go back and get the money for you.”

Channing was not sure if Rodney’s words were true. His eyebrows were on fire now. It would be fine as long as he made up for the hole. Although this painting was his life, it was nothing compared to his future. Moreover, he would pass the painting to Amber after a hundred years. It was the same for him now. “You’d better take this painting back. I’ll write you a loan note.”

“There’s no need.” Rodney refused. He had helped Channing only because of Amber. If Channing wasn’t Amber’s father, he wouldn’t have listened to him. Since he had helped, he naturally didn’t want to be involved in the loan receipt or anything.

“You mustn’t tell Amber about this. If Amber finds out about this, I won’t be able to face you anymore.” Channing was determined to write a loan receipt when he reminded Rodney, “Amber has been stubborn since she was a child. I don’t want her to misunderstand me.”

This was a typical example of being a whore and then building a memorial arch. Rodney had a new understanding of Channing’s shamelessness. “Forget it, I’ll accept this as my uncle’s dowry for Amber. I won’t write anything else. Give me your account number, and I’ll ask the finance department to transfer the money to you.”

Hearing this, Channing was relieved, so he gave his account to Rodney. After Rodney accepted the account, he enthusiastically mentioned the marriage between Rodney and Amber. “When are you and Amber going to get the marriage certificate?”

“I can go to collect the marriage certificate with Amber at any time, as long as Amber agrees.”

“You’d better do your business as soon as possible. It’s not a big deal to delay.” Channing, who had solved the problem, had just calmed down as usual. “Why don’t you take Amber home for dinner tonight? I’ll talk to her.”

He took the initiative to show his kindness to Rodney, but he was not grateful. Amber could tell that he hated Channing. If he asked Channing to help him at this time, it would only backfire. “No, I’ll talk to her by myself.”

The two of them chatted about some other things before breaking up. When Rodney returned to the company and told the company to transfer the money to Channing’s account, Deon couldn’t help but remind him, “Mr. Barron, won’t you tell Miss.

Stone about this?”

“Amber hates this kind of thing the most. If you tell her, her attitude toward Channing will change again. Let’s put it aside and talk about it later.”

While they were talking, someone knocked on the door. Kelsey came in and said, “Mr. Barron, I have something to tell you.”

Hearing that she had something to say, Deon tactfully avoided it. However, Rodney motioned for Deon not to leave. “Deon is not an outsider. If there’s anything you need to say, just say it.”

“Well, I received an admission letter from a foreign university. I want to study abroad, so...” Kelsey was a little nervous. She had never received an admission letter from a foreign university. It was Itzel who spent money to hire an agency for her to go abroad.

Kelsey was afraid of being questioned by Rodney.

“Do you want to resign and study abroad?” Rodney understood. “This is a good thing. I support you. If you need any help, I will try my best to satisfy you.”

“Thank you, Mr. Barron. I have no other needs.”
