Samantha grabbed the handrail of the stairs and turned her back to Ash, trying to sound as calm as possible. “Why must I tell you? Who do you think you are? I won’t tell you. Bite met
Ash nodded calmly, “Okay, I know
Ash’s casual tone instantly ignited Samantha’s fuse. She suddenly turned around and raised her voice. “What do you know?”
“Do I need to tell you what I know?” Ash was certain what happened that day was related to Samantha.
Ash had gotten the answer she wanted, so she didn’t think it was necessary to waste time and energy arguing with Samantha anymore. She turned around and walked toward the door when she heard hurried footsteps behind,
Then, she felt something heavy behind her, bringing a gust of wind. She tilted her head, and the vase flew past her cheek and landed on the ground, shattering.
Seeing Ash had dodged it, Samantha tried to hit Ash, but Ash grabbed Samantha’s wrist and threw Samantha over her shoulder without hesitation.
‘She’s overestimated herself. Ash sneered in her heart.
Samantha was thrown to the ground. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes from the pain. She never expected Ash to be
so strong.
Ash turned around and looked at Samantha on the ground. “What are you thinking? You wanted to attack me, huh? Seriously. Do you want the police to come?”
“Get lost! Get the hell out of my face!” Samantha’s eyes were filled with tears. Recently, she had been tortured by Samuel every day. And Ash had come to the house and humiliated her.
‘Why?‘ Samantha wondered, ‘Why does Ash have all the blessings? Why should I be the unlucky one?”
Lorelei was disturbed by the noise. She exited the kitchen with the coffee but didn’t see Ash in the house. Only Samantha was lying on the floor with a face full of hatred. Not far away, there were still fragments of a vase.
“What happened? Why is it like this?” asked Lorelei.
“None of your business!” Samantha supported herself on the ground and endured the pain as she stood up and staggered upstairs.
Ash called her friend to get the car surveillance footage around Wonder Club that day. She had to have the data for the next two days.
No matter what, the Shelton family was reputable in Riverstone. It was not easy to give Samuel a hard time.
Calvert: [I’m near Dream Couture. Let’s meet in half an hour.]
Ash got into the car and was about to go home when she found Calvert had sent her a message ten minutes earlier.
She retracted her expression and thought it over before replying, [What’s the matter? Can’t you tell me on the phone?]
Calvert replied very quickly. It was just one word. [No.]
Ash was speechless and thought, ‘Calvert, you’d better have something important to tell me after we meet. Otherwise, you’ll have to pay me by the second!‘
“Have you checked the cameras around here?” Calvert had been on a business trip and seemed to have lost weight. His black

shirt was tucked into his black pants, and his long legs matched his strong narrow waist. Two buttons were unbuttoned, and the line of his collarbone was visible. He looked seductive.
Ash had noticed Calvert standing upright before she got out of the car. She immediately had an idea. With this killer looks and body shape, if he became a male model, he would probably earn a fortune overnight.
With this thought in mind, Ash patted her leg lightly and muttered, ‘Beauty is a misleading factor. It’s nothing more than a handsome face with a good figure, but this man is still a jerk!”
“Ash?” Seeing Ash was in a daze, Calvert frowned slightly. He waved his well–defined hand before her eyes and called out softly.
Only then did Ash come back to her senses. She kept her composure, and her heart did not skip a beat. She suddenly said, “You’re dressed like this to seduce someone, right?”
In an instant, Ash felt as if time had stopped. She was joking, but it was evident that Calvert didn’t like to joke.
“Dressed like what? Who did I seduce? You?” Calvert stepped forward, closing the distance between them.
The two of them stood at the entrance of Dream Couture. They were in a bustling area, and passersby looked over. Many people even stopped to take photos of the handsome man and gorgeous woman.
It was rare for Ash to be afraid. She took a step back and looked embarrassed. “I’m just joking. Just don’t take it seriously. If you take it seriously, you lose. Let’s get down to business. What surveillance footage?”
“Have you watched the surveillance footage around here?” asked Calvert.
Ash shook her head. “The cameras nearby aren’t something I can check just because I want to. The shop is mine, not the
street.”
Calvert took out his phone, clicked on a photo, and handed it to her. “This person has been watching your shop for a week. “It’s probably to figure out your daily routines. This person is wrapped up quite tightly. I checked the nearby cameras. He took off his mask at the end of the street and got into the car.”
A strange feeling rose in Ash’s heart. She pursed her lips and looked at Calvert. “Didn’t I say I would investigate it myself? I don’t need your help.”
“As I said, you don’t need to draw a line with me during the contract period. What happened to you is my business.” Calvert put away his phone.
Ash unintentionally glanced at his phone, and her pupils constricted. She instantly grabbed his arm and said in surprise, “You… Why is your screen saver my photo?”
“Calvert, what do you want from me?” Ash released her grip and looked at him up and down in disbelief.
Calvert looked uncomfortable momentarily, but he quickly regained his cold expression. “Grandma did this, saying it would improve our relationship.”
“You can change it back. You… Alright, stop it. I got it.” Ash reached out her hand to cover his mouth. “I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything.”
Calvert was speechless, thinking Ash’s thoughts were so jumpy that he could not keep up with her if he got distracted momentarily.
“You’ve taken over Funtime Games?” Calvert changed the topic.

Ash was not surprised that he knew. After all, he was Calvert Snider, toen Kwowedone wold sale the mate was easy peasy for him to try to figure out something.
Ash nodded, and her eyes flashed. “Do you want to invest? Or do you want to compera fox come propel Forum Fe Games is nothing compared to Snider Group now.
“My company is preparing for the Triple–A Game. You can send someone to join in Calvar nokat a to stiffesent the cold lips curled up. It was explosive news.
Ash was a little surprised. Although she had never worked in a gaming company, she had heard of the Teaser Game Foreign technology was mature, but domestic technology was still a mess.
“How could a small company like Funtime Games catch your eye? This is the Triple & Come, are an ordinary realitiond project.” Ash knew very well that Funtime Games was far too behind at the fire,
Calvert pondered for seconds and said slowly, “I believe you”
