Chapter 562
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Based on the current trends, if Fuller Corporation could improve the AI technology, it would put them on
another level.
Ashton put down his knife and explained, âItâs not the time yet. For the AI to develop successfully, it will
need another ten years. Everything we are doing now is to prepare for the future. If we impatiently push
forward with the project, it may backfire in the end.â
He had his own perspective on this matter. Since I was not a professional, I was in no place to question
him.
By the time we finished dinner, it was already ten, and Summer was already sleeping when we were
back in the villa.
Jared then called us to confirm the plans to take Summer to W City, which we had previously informed
her about.
Before washing up and heading to bed, I packed some of her essentials to bring tomorrow.
The next day, Jared came by earlier, and Ashton did not head to work. When I woke up, I heard
murmurings downstairs. After washing up, I went downstairs and overheard the two men discussing
Marcusâs business.
From the big picture, there was no need for Ashton to force Marcus to a dead-end. However, Ashton
seemed agitated whenever someone brought up the matter.
Frustrated, he stopped Jared from trying to persuade him any further and snorted, âYou donât have to
worry about this.â
With his brows raised, Jared reminded him, âIn this country, you may be able to suppress White
Corporation. However, did you forget how powerful the White Corporation is in M Country? Once
Marcus returned to M Country, we may end up losing most of our businesses there, and it will threaten
our survival.â
âDo you think that Iâm only capable of destroying him in this country?â Ashtonâs face hardened.
His words took Jared by surprise. âAre you going to do something about White Corporation in M
Country too?â
Taking a sip of water, Ashton calmly explained, âIf he returns to M Country and doesnât cross the line, I
can consider allowing him to live in peace overseas. Otherwise, he will not be so lucky.â
As a businessman, Jared could pick up on what Ashton meant. âHowever, if Marcus can get his hands
on the illegal loans in our country but somehow gets out of it and returns to M Country, you can easily
expose this matter to other large corporations in there. It will be akin to wanting his life, isnât it?â
Ashton did not respond. Instead, he gulped down half a glass of water and looked at his watch for the
time.
After a moment of silence, Jared sighed. âI donât understand. Why do you have to drive Marcus over
the edge?â
Ashton narrowed his eyes but continued to remain silent. Obviously, he did not intend to answer.
At that moment, he turned back and saw me standing by the staircase. His lips instantly curled into a
smile on his previously gloomy face. He gestured for me to join them.
Obediently, I joined them, and Jared ended the conversation too once he saw me.
At the same time, Flora walked out of the kitchen and chimed, âMadam and Mr. Fuller, breakfast is
ready.â
Nodding, I scanned the room for Summer. Thinking that she was still asleep, I asked Flora, âFlora, is
Summer still in bed?â
The older lady pointed to the yard. âNo, she is up and playing with Snowfluff in the yard.â
Sure enough, the little girl soon came running into the house from the same direction.
Clinging onto me, she wistfully said, âMommy, Mr. Fuller said that we shouldnât sleep in, so Iâve never
done that.â
I could not help but caress her face and awkwardly chuckle. âSummer, you listen well.â
As we brought Snowfluff to the groomerâs yesterday, its fur coat was soft and silky. It felt pleasant when
it rubbed itself against my leg.
Looking at me with puppy eyes, Summer pleaded, âMommy, can I bring Snowfluff along with me?â
I was dumbfounded and took some time to think before I explained, âSummer, Snowfluff is a pet and
canât take the flight with you. If you check in with it, it will be harmful to its health. Therefore, I strongly
recommend that you donât bring it along with you.â
âButâ¦â Children have a pure heart. They tend to be attached to those they get along well with for a
long time.
Unable to stand how disappointed Summer was, Jared interrupted, âThere is a special cabin for us to
bring pets onboard the plane. When we get to the airport, we can book a spot in the first-class cabin.
Then, we can head to the plane with Snowfluff after we settle the formalities.â
At once, Summerâs eyes lit up. âCan we really do that?â She cheered.
He nodded.
The girl was overjoyed, and she threw herself at Jared.
Sighing, I rubbed my temples in disapproval. He sure is a rich man. Those costs hundreds of
thousands, yet he easily agreed to it.
From the other end, Ashton spotted my actions and walked towards me to tease, âIt is a good thing for
her to be supported by the rich!â
Iâ¦
Men really do go all the way for their daughters.
I merely shrugged and did not continue. Turning my heels to the kitchen, I prepared to eat breakfast.
Once we were done with the meal and Summerâs belongings were almost fully packed, Jared assured
me, âDonât worry. I will take good care of Summer.â
I nodded. I never doubted his care of Summer anyway. After all, she was his biological child, and he
would probably pay utmost attention to her.
After we sent Summer out, I could not help but groan, âItâs true that we canât keep our little girl with us
forever.â
âSheâs only going out for a play trip. Why are you taking it so seriously?â Ashton crackled.
