Jessie nearly jumped out of the bed, and Fred frowned tightly.
Ashlyn, on the other hand, was not surprised at all. She had already guessed it last night. She just didn’t expect that Denise would be so cruel.
“Ashlyn, are you just going to let this go?”
Seething with rage, Jessie’s nostrils flared like that of a fire-breathing dragon.
Ashlyn’s expression darkened. She looked up at Jessie and asked in a low voice, “Let it go? Of course not! It’s only right that I give her a taste of her own medicine!”
Since Denise had prepared such a big surprise for her, Ashlyn would definitely respond in kind.
Hearing this, Jessie was stunned. “What are you going to do?”
Ashlyn smiled and answered, “An eye for an eye.”
Looking at the cold smile on Ashlyn’s face, Jessie suddenly shivered.
Denise should’ve known better than to have crossed Ashlyn.
Ashlyn wasn’t the kind of person that would let it go after someone attempted to hurt her.
Denise was doomed!
Before getting even with Denise, Ashlyn had to deal with someone else first.
After being discharged from the hospital, Ashlyn went back to her apartment to freshen up. By the time she came out, she resumed the role of the beautiful manager again.
As soon as she arrived at the office, Talia was already there, waiting for her with some documents. “Miss Ramos, these are some real estate companies that have done well in recent years.”
Ashlyn took the documents and leafed through them quickly. “Which one do you think is the best?”
“Starch Company,” Talia answered without hesitation. “Although it is less than ten years old, Starch Company has a good reputation in the industry.”
“Okay. Get me in contact with the person in charge of Starch Company.”
“Got it, Miss Ramos.”
Did Robbie seriously think that Fairway Group wouldn’t survive without Highlight Group?
Since he dared to plot against her, Ashlyn was determined to get even with him.
As one of the companies under Harvester Group, Fairway Group was rich in resources. Starch Company was ecstatic when they found out that Fairway Group wanted to cooperate with them.
Hearing that the new manager of Fairway Group wanted to cooperate with them, Domenic Holmes, the manager of Starch Company rushed back from out of town to have dinner with Ashlyn.
The second they sat down, Ashlyn went straight to the point and put forward the intention of cooperation. Domenic was flattered. “Miss Ramos, may I ask why you chose our company?”
Ashlyn smiled meaningfully. “Well, Mr. Holmes, do you think Starch Company isn’t qualified to cooperate with us?”
Domenic paused for a moment and studied Ashlyn, who was sitting opposite him. He didn’t expect such a beautiful young woman to be so smart and eloquent.
Two seconds later, Domenic broke into a hearty smile. “Then I wish us a most pleasant cooperation, Miss Ramos.”
“Cheers to that.”
Having solved such a big problem, Ashlyn was in a good mood. She turned to look at Talia and said in a low voice, “I wonder how Elvin will react when he hears about this.”
They all wanted to give her a hard time. Did they really think that she would let them step all over her?
Soon, the news about the cooperation between Ashlyn and Domenic spread in the circle. When Elvin heard about it, he called Ashlyn promptly. She replied casually, “Starch Company is qualified.”
From the other end of the line, Elvin could feel his face turning purple from anger. Ashlyn continued, “And the price Starch Company offered is only 3/4 of Highlight Group’s. Why shouldn’t we try to cooperate with a new partner?”
Elvin was rendered speechless. Ashlyn had expected that Elvin would object, so when she talked with Domenic, she made herself clear that the price he offered should be lower than that of Highlight Group. Only in this way could she stop the others from gossiping.
Domenic was also a smart man. This was a good opportunity. It didn’t matter if it meant earning less money; Starch Company needed this chance. This was the perfect opportunity for their company.
After hanging up, Ashlyn idly looked out the window at the night sky. The smile on her face grew wider and wider. “Now that I’ve dealt with Elvin, I’ll settle scores with Denise next.”
Coincidentally, the following day was the weekend.
Thinking of this, Ashlyn took out her phone and called Talia.
Talia was a dedicated secretary. It might’ve been late, but she answered the phone in a heartbeat. “Good evening, Miss Ramos.”
“Good evening, Talia. Could you do me a favor?”
“Of course.”
Lowering her head and taking a sip of water, Ashlyn said, “I want to settle scores with Denise after what she did to me last night. Have some people kidnap her and take her to Citrine Club tomorrow night.”
“Copy, Miss Ramos,” Talia said promptly.
After getting off the phone with Talia, Ashlyn walked into the bathroom in high spirits.
She planned to take a shower before bed. Then, she’d get up early tomorrow morning to deal with Denise.
How exciting!
The second Jessie found out that Ashlyn was going to settle scores with Denise that day, she could barely contain her excitement. Before seven o’clock that evening, she burst into Ashlyn’s apartment and exclaimed, “Ashlyn! I found the perfect drug. It’s safe and undetectable after twenty-four hours. I promise you that she’ll never know what hit her.”
Ashlyn smiled in satisfaction. “Good.”
