Chapter 51

Although Sophie's funeral had already taken place, Aspen still couldn't accept the fact that she was gone. She felt like Sophie hadn't left and was still by her side. She started to wonder if Sophie had heard Colin's words earlier. She gently wiped Sophie's photo and softly said, "Sophie, be good, and don't be sad. He's talking nonsense. Mommy's eyes, you're the best little girl in the world. I'm so happy and lucky to be your mommy."Sophie, I miss you so much. Do you also blame me? Why haven't you come to my dreams even once? I want to see you. I miss you." Aspen's tears fell as she spoke.Every time she thought of Sophie, her heart ached deeply.They often said time would heal all wounds, but for Aspen, time was more like a quack doctor. No matter how much time passed, she could never let go when she thought of her Sophie.Holding onto Sophie's photo, Aspen kept talking. After a while, she finally calmed herself down and prayed for her parents."Mom, Dad, you always taught me

After glancing at the time, Aspen realized she couldn't fall back asleep, so she decided to open her laptop and start reviewing some documents.It was all documents Aren had compiled for her, containing detailed information about Fuller Group's operations and financial status over the past five years. It also included suspicious activities related to several subsidiaries Colin had established outside the company.Although Aren had provided her with the data, he had deliberately left no annotations or explanations. Even so, Aspen understood his intention.If she couldn't even interpret this information on her own, she would stand no chance against Colin. The share of stocks she held would eventually be swallowed up by others.Back in university, Aspen had always been at the top of her class, and data analysis had been one of her strongest skills. Even after years of being a housewife, her foundational knowledge remained intact, and she quickly got back into the rhythm of working wit

With that one sentence, the room erupted into chaos.This was the first time anyone had witnessed such a "clarification". Reporters at the front lines were frantically snapping photos, their camera shutters nearly wearing out.Colin, who had been so confident moments ago, finally showed a crack in his composure.As expected, only when his true interests were at stake did he show any reaction. The suffering of others meant nothing to him."Aspen, have you lost your mind?" He lowered his voice as he gripped her wrist tightly.Aspen remained expressionless, shaking off his hand and revealing everything she had prepared over the past few days."After we got married, we had a daughter named Sophie. However, our daughter passed away just a few days ago. While my precious child was lying in the hospital bed, fighting for her life, Mr. Fuller was setting off 600 thousand dollars worth of fireworks with Ms. Sanders in celebration."As a wife, I have no words for my husband's infidelity.

With that said, Aspen turned and walked out without even glancing at him. She knew Colin wouldn't chase after her now; he had far more important things to deal with.Outside, the situation was spiraling out of control. No matter how hard the PR team worked, they couldn't suppress the news. The Fuller family's dirty laundry had been aired for all to see. It became the talk of the town.Soon, relevant individuals began issuing statements online. With nothing better to do, netizens turned into amateur detectives, piecing together timelines and details with astonishing accuracy. Some even started competitions to see who could uncover the juiciest insider secrets of the wealthy family first.Seeing the online frenzy, Aspen knew Aren must have been pulling strings behind the scenes.She smiled faintly and called him. "Isn't it time to make a move and clean up those subsidiaries of his?"Aren chuckled on the other end of the line, then knocked on her door. Hearing the knock, Aspen immedi

"Drive around him," Aspen said calmly. She had no desire to engage with Colin and just wanted to leave his sight as quickly as possible."Judging by his demeanor, that might be difficult," Aren sneered. He opened the car door and stepped out.Crossing his arms, he looked Colin up and down before saying coolly, "Mr. Fuller, do you still have the time to come here? What's the matter? Looking to gather evidence to prove you've been cuckolded instead?"Colin ignored him completely, striding over to the passenger side and yanking the door open. He glared coldly at Aspen, who was seated inside. "Get out.""No," Aspen replied firmly. She no longer felt any obligation to listen to him. "Colin, we're already divorced.""Without a divorce certificate, it doesn't count," Colin said through gritted teeth, reiterating his point. "You and I are still legally married. You have to come with me."Seeing his expression, Aspen couldn't help but find it laughable. Before, he had treated their marria

Yet now, Sophie was gone, and there was no way Aspen and Colin could continue together. The promise Aspen had made to Hector could no longer be fulfilled.Still, she intended to honor part of it. She could let go of Colin, but she couldn't bring herself to destroy Fuller Group.Fuller Group had little to do with Colin. It had been built from the ground up by Hector and later nurtured with the blood and sweat of his son's generation.Colin had merely inherited it. While he was at fault, the rest of the Fuller family didn't deserve to suffer for his mistakes.As she thought about it, her phone suddenly rang. Glancing at the caller ID, Aspen's heart sank. It was a call from the Fuller residence.She had never been valued by the Fuller family after she had married Colin. Only Hector had truly cared for her. Colin's parents had been living abroad for years, and now, it seemed, they had heard the news and rushed back to criticize her as their daughter-in-law.After a moment's hesitat

Chapter 57

Standing in front of the Fuller residence, Aspen felt a mix of emotions she couldn't quite put into words. It was the same place, yet everything about it felt different. She remembered how warm it used to feel when Hector had still been around. But now, that warmth was completely gone.The thought made her heart ache. She took a deep breath, raised her head, and walked inside.In the past, whenever she had met Colin's parents, she had always been timid and submissive. She knew she wasn't well-liked, and her humble background didn't help. If it hadn't been for Hector's insistence, she would never have become part of the Fuller family.Although Colin's parents spent most of their time abroad, every time they saw Aspen, their expressions turned sour. It was as if having her as their daughter-in-law was some kind of disgrace.Sure enough, the moment she stepped through the door, she was met with their hostility.Ellie, in particular, was the first to lash out. She hurled a cup in As

As a mother, Aspen couldn't accept such a mindset."I'm not being reckless. I've just come to realize that if Colin wants a son, there are plenty of women out there who can give him one. He doesn't need me for that."Wasn't Gwyneth eagerly waiting, hoping to bear his child?Hearing this, Ellie grew visibly agitated. She gritted her teeth and said, "Fine. If you claim there's no love left between you and Colin, and you insist on divorce, we won't stand in your way. But hand over what the old man gave you, and then you're free to go wherever you please!""Why should I give you what Mr. Fuller Senior left me?" Aspen retorted firmly.Even before coming here, Aspen had known that Ellie and Stanley had ulterior motives. But hearing their demands outright still stung deeply.She took a deep breath and looked at them. "I didn't come here today to be lectured. I came to tell you that I will use what Mr. Fuller Senior gave me wisely, and there's no chance of reconciliation between Colin an

Aspen emerged victorious from the mansion, feeling an unexpected sense of joy she had never experienced before. She had never realized how satisfying it could be to stand her ground and speak her mind.At the hospital, Colin rushed over as soon as he received the news. Gwyneth, who had been recuperating at the same hospital, arrived even earlier than he did.Seeing Colin, Gwyneth immediately grabbed his hand, her voice trembling with emotion. "Mr. Fuller and Madam Ellie are in bad shape. What should we do, Colin? What are we going to do? He already had high blood pressure, and now this... How could this happen?" Tears streamed down Gwyneth's face.Colin's relationship with his parents had always been strained. He had grown up under Hector's care and had rarely seen his parents.Rumor had it that they had initially planned to remain childless but had ended up having him by accident. After his birth, they had handed him over to the family and gone off to enjoy their lives.Faced wit

"Colin, does it hurt?" Gwyneth looked at Colin with teary eyes. Her gaze was fixed on the red, swollen mark on his cheek.Colin didn't respond. Instead, he told her to rest and drove off to find Aspen.When he arrived at the old, run-down apartment, he knocked on the door for a while but got no answer. After asking around, he learned that Aspen had moved.Frustrated, Colin had no choice but to call Aspen again.When they finally met, Colin no longer had his usual cold, aloof demeanor. Instead, he seemed resigned and let out a sigh as if ready to compromise."Have you thrown enough tantrums? Come home."Tantrums? Come home?"My daughter is dead. What kind of tantrums do you think I'm throwing here?"Aspen immediately noticed the redness and swelling on Colin's face. She knew it must have been his parents' doing.In the past, Aspen had always felt sorry for Colin for having such a strained relationship with his parents. That was why she had tried so hard to please them. But no
