Chapter 41

Aren hadn't known. If he'd had even the slightest idea, he never would have left Aspen to suffer alone.Aspen took the tissues from him and wiped her tears. Her voice was choked with grief as she continued, "You don't know how wonderful my Sophie was… She was a gift from the heavens. "But I failed her—I was the one who delayed her treatment, the one who dragged her down. Even in her final moments, she'd been holding my hand, still worrying about me."It was that bastard Colin Fuller! He knew Sophie was sick, yet he let her condition worsen on purpose! He could have stepped in and intervened early, but instead, he just stood there and watched her die! A man like him doesn't deserve to be Sophie's father. He doesn't even deserve to be called human!"As Aspen spoke, a deep, burning hatred flared in her eyes.She had always been someone who loved and hated with intensity. Even after years of being with Colin, even after he had worn down her sharp edges, that defiant, unyielding core

That was right. Before Aspen had met Colin, she had been brilliant and unstoppable. She hadn't just been Mrs. Fuller, a woman with nothing to her name.But because Colin had never loved her and never even truly acknowledged her, he remained completely oblivious to all of it. To him, Aspen was nothing more than a useless freeloader living off the Fuller family.Underestimating a woman's capabilities was always a mistake—a disastrous one.Listening to Aren list her past achievements, Aspen felt as though he was talking about someone from another lifetime. She looked at him, warmth swelling in her heart."Aren, thank you… Thank you for remembering the Aspen who once shined."Even though she had almost forgotten who she was, someone else still remembered."You've always been incredible. And if you want to, you'll shine just as brightly again. Pen, I believe in you. I always have," Aren said as he took her hand, his gaze unwavering.Aspen wasn't naive. She knew what that look meant a

Colin had suspected this might be the case, but he had never imagined the reality would be this severe.He truly hadn't expected Aspen to be so cunning. She had even managed to manipulate Hector so thoroughly that the latter had left her such a solid escape route."The authenticity of this will—can it be challenged?"Colin let out a cold snort. He still refused to believe Hector had been this foolish. Aspen was scheming and deceitful. There was nothing she wouldn't do. Forging a will wasn't beyond her.Daniel glanced at Colin and responded calmly, "Wills like this typically have third-party witnesses and are recorded with both audio and video. The chances of forgery are nearly zero."That sealed every possible loophole. Colin's face darkened, but he didn't argue further. He simply waved his hand dismissively and said, "Understood."The legal team quickly gathered their materials and exited the room with uneasy expressions. None of them had expected to get such a massive revelatio

"What now, Gwen?" Zac lounged lazily in his seat and continued, "Yeah, Colin might be an empty shell, but he's still better than most men out there. You should hold on to your position as Mrs. Fuller."Even if it was only 20% of the shares, it was still enough for their family to live comfortably for a lifetime.Gwyneth, who was already irritated, snapped at him upon hearing his words. "Shut up! Look at you—you're completely useless! I can't rely on you for anything!""You're the one who failed to judge people correctly. How is that my fault? Besides, if I hadn't been helping you out and giving you advice, would you even be where you are today?" Zac scoffed disdainfully before he rolled his eyes."Don't forget that Colin Fuller is our only way out. If you don't secure your place as Mrs. Fuller, what do you think will happen to our family? You know it better than anyone."This wasn't just advice anymore. It was a threat.Gwyneth was fuming. It was because of her family's burdens t

"Aspen, Colin has never cared about you. No matter what you do, you still won't win even a sliver of his affection. So why put yourself through this?" Gwyneth said, trying to reason with her.Even so, Aspen found her words laughable. "The shares I hold in Fuller Group are worth at least three billion dollars. And you're offering me 30 million? Do you think I can't do math?"Gwyneth, what do you think Colin is worth? Perhaps I might have spared him a few glances for the sake of our daughter before. But now? Sophie is gone. He's nothing to me now! I own 51% of Fuller Group. If I wanted a man, do you think I'd ever run out of options?"Now that she had finally let go of her past, Aspen saw her future in an entirely new light. And it looked promising.Gwyneth was stunned.The once gentle, soft-spoken Aspen had just uttered something so outrageous and unthinkable that Gwyneth could hardly believe her ears.At that moment, she also realized something.The reason she had been able to f

Colin clenched his teeth and glared at Aspen. "Shut up!""Why should I? Who do you think you are to tell me to shut up? Do you think we're still living in the past? Women have been liberated for decades—go to hell!" Aspen scoffed.She picked up the last of her cup of coffee and threw its contents at him, sending the liquid splashing across his expensive suit. Then, she turned and walked away without sparing him another glance. Her actions were smooth and effortless.Just as she stepped out, she caught sight of Aren standing on the other side of the glass window. For some reason, even though she had strode out so boldly just seconds ago, meeting his gaze now made her feel unexpectedly shy.Quickening her pace, she walked up to him. With a frown, she asked, "What are you doing here?""Well, at first, I came to protect you. But it looks like I wasn't needed," Aren said honestly. Without missing a beat, he added, "Plus, you still owe me seafood boil."Aspen narrowed her eyes. Was he

Chapter 47

As Gwyneth met Colin's cold gaze, her heart clenched with panic. A wave of unease washed over her as she wondered if he suspected something.She reached out hesitantly, tugging lightly at his sleeve. "Colin, why aren't you saying anything?" "Gwen, you crossed the line." Colin's face remained emotionless, but his voice was as gentle as ever.But the words themselves sent a chill through Gwyneth's spine. Her breath hitched, and more tears spilled down her face.She choked out, "I-I know this is my fault… But I didn't mean to… I was only trying to help you. Ms. Nicholls, she—""This is our matter. I will handle it." Colin cut her off.This time, the false warmth in his voice was gone—what remained was a warning. A final warning.Colin had always loved himself above all else. Gwyneth might have been different from other women in his life, but compared to himself? She was still insignificant.That was also when Gwyneth truly realized it for the first time. She had always believed s

Chapter 48

Aren knew Aspen was capable, but he also knew she was inexperienced. She had spent years at home raising a child and wasn't familiar with the intricacies of the business world."We'll deal with whatever comes our way," Aspen said while clenching her fists with a dark expression.She could have let all of this go. After all, she had never cared about the Fuller family's wealth or their company.But Colin was selfish—so selfish that he had watched their daughter die just to protect his own interests. Sophie had died because of him!Aspen couldn't let this go. If she didn't fight back, she didn't deserve to call herself a mother.Since Colin only cared about his power and wealth, then so be it. She would take everything he valued away from him, one by one. She would let everyone see what Colin Fuller amounted to without it.Seeing Aspen's firm resolve, Aren finally felt relieved. He had been worried she would soften at the last moment."Good. Just be careful," he said, glancing at

Chapter 49

"What the fuck!"Aspen couldn't hold it in anymore. She immediately cursed out loud. She had never imagined that someone could be this shameless. Colin spoke so brazenly, without the slightest sense of guilt. It was beyond disgraceful now—it was downright disgusting.In the past, Aspen would have swallowed her anger and endured it in silence. But not anymore. Now, she was fighting back—literally.She slapped Colin across the face with all her strength—even her palm stung from the force. Grabbing him by the collar, she yanked him forward, dragging him to stand before Sophie's photo."Look at her! Look at Sophie! Do you have the audacity to look at her face and repeat what you just said?" she roared.Colin hadn't expected Aspen to be this strong. But even as he looked at Sophie's bright, innocent smile in the framed photo, he remained indifferent."Even if we had gotten her treated, it would only have prolonged her life. It wouldn't have cured her. She would have suffered either

Aspen continued, "I won't meddle in Fuller Group's affairs. I won't clean up your mess online. And as for that ridiculous public statement? It has nothing to do with me. You made your bed, now lie in it! You sure as hell should suffer for your so-called love and indulgence."Aspen's voice was sharp, firm, and completely devoid of emotion. She had lost all hope in Colin. No, it was more than that—she despised him.Once upon a time, she had bent over backward to save Colin's reputation. She had played the role of a loving wife, clinging to an illusion that had never existed.Looking back now, she had never felt more disgusted with herself."Aspen, you better not regret this." Colin stood there, his arrogance still intact. In his mind, Aspen was still hopelessly in love with him. Everything she was doing now was just an elaborate attempt to win him back."If you cooperate, we can hold off on discussing the divorce."He took a step forward, but his words indicated a retreat. Still, A
