After Divorce I Am A Billionaire

Chapter 103

Lyra was slightly silent for a while, smiled and said, "If you're out, sooner or later you'll have to pay back, and Melvin is no exception."

Garrett was finally relieved to hear that.

She will seek repayment from Melvin for what happened in the past, but she didn't say she would retaliate against him for Irene.

She did care for him after all, didn't she?

Now that she was just mad at him because Irene, and he still had a chance!

Having figured it out, Garrett stood up happily, "Lyra don't worry. I'll change all these problems, and I'm willing to wait, as long as you turn back, I'll always be there."

After he finished, he left.

Lyra held her forehead and was speechless.

It looked like he still didn't quite get her point ...

Forget it. She'll explain later when she had a chance.

In the following days, Ashley claimed that she had to check to various construction sites every day, and was almost absent from the company, and never came back to report on the progress of her work.

If Fiona called and asked, she said she was busy.

Fiona was very upset with her attitude.

If now was not the time to need hands, she would have enraged because of her temper.

As she was thinking about it, the phone rang and it was Sheila.

"Good girl, what's wrong?"

Sheila on the other end of the line sounded extremely upset and was full of complaints.

"How come my pocket money is reduced lately? I went shopping with two noble ladies, and when I swiped card, it even showed a low balance. How can you let me be embarrassed?"

Fiona was afraid of being found out.

Now that all the money on hand was being invested in various projects for Ashley, so she can only quietly reduce Sheila's money.

"Mom! You said before that a daughter is to be raised in a rich way. How can you do this to me ..."

Fiona had no choice but to comfort Sheila with what Ashley had told her earlier.

"My good daughter, the company has recently encountered some financial difficulties, and mom had no choice. When things are all right, your money will be doubled, and mommy will buy you whatever you want!"

"Then I want the full set of limited edition skincare products from LC pre-release!"

"Fine, fine, buy them all!"

Hanging up the phone, Fiona was filled with Ashley in her mind.

She did not return to the company to report the progress, nor call, so Fiona always felt that her niece had something to hide from her?

She can't be relieved any longer so Fiona still decided to give her a call in person again.

When she just turned on the phone for Ashley's number, the door was suddenly pushed open by Eden, the assistant.

Fiona was upset and glared at him, "Don't you know how to knock?"

Eden said, "Ms. Fiona, here is a bad news! The construction team is making trouble at the door, and people are blocking the entrance to the building!"

"What!?"

Fiona slammed the table and stood up in shock, "What makes them so arrogant! The security guards are all useless?!"

"There are too many people. The whole team of 100 people are all around down there. They said the promised payment has not been paid to the account, and the person in charge was fired by Ashley for the reason of supervising unfavorably! They have no leader and are using the construction tools as weapons and are asking you to give them an explanation!"

No money on the account?

What about her money?

What the hell was Ashley up to!

An extremely bad idea crossed her mind, and Fiona's face went pale with fear. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

She didn't believe Ashley would dare to do this to her! This was her own niece!

For confirmation, she dialed Ashley's number with a shaking hand.

The phone was reached.

The rings was coming from far and became near second by second.

But it seemed to be coming from outside the ... door?!

Eden, who was standing to the side, was about to go to open the door fully when it was opened from the outside by a pair of slender hands.

Ashley was wearing exquisite made-up, a dress in a very flashy color, and followed by a man dressed as a lawyer.

From her unhurried manner and even deliberately dressing-up, it was obviously she had prepared for it.

Eden, the assistant, saw that the atmosphere was not right and secretly withdrew from the place.

In the office, Fiona's eyes were red with shock.

Ashley was amused by her expression.

"Haven't seen me for a few days, Fiona, you miss me so much?"

Fiona gritted her teeth, still holding a glimmer of hope in her heart, "Ashley, why didn't you pay for the construction? What the hell have you been doing for the past two days?"

"Didn't you just guess that already?"

She smiled and walked to the opposite side of Fiona's parlor chair and sat down, "That's right, I didn't take out a single penny of that 8.8 billion. I let the finance guy quietly transfer it to my account, by the way, at least half of the company is controlled by my people now."

"You! How dare you!"

Such a large sum of money! How could she have taken it all for herself?

To be able to replace more than half of the company with her people, this was premeditated?

Fiona was so angry that her heart twinged and she slid painfully into a chair, "How could my brother condone your shameless behavior!? Or did you hide it from him?"

Ashley snorted, "Fiona, are you forgetting that my father is not in charge of my family? But he is still very supportive of me in this matter. Because you married into the Freeman family, as soon as you return to your mother's family, you're flamboyant. You think he doesn't hate you?"

Fiona's family condition was not very good. Because of the campus romance and the finance department's bachelor degree, Fiona had the opportunity to marry to the Freeman family.

Fiona's brother Warren Lee was not so lucky. He fell in love with the Harrington family's daughter. Because of family condition, he can only join and live with the Harrington family, even the children can not follow his own surname.

Fiona was so angry that as if she had a heart attack. Her hands clutched the clothes on her chest to help her breathe, and she barely got over the choking sensation.

"What do you want to do with all the money you took from the Freeman group?"

Ashley smiled faintly and raised her hand to signal the lawyer to come forward.

The lawyer saw Fiona's suspicious gaze and placed a contract on the desk.

Fiona picked it up and read it, "Ashley! How dare you try to take over the Freeman group!"

"How can you use a word like ‘take over'?"

Ashley smiled sarcastically and continued, "Fiona, you can see clearly. I am willing to buy the Freeman group's right of management with 10 billion. You don't know anything about business. I think the

Freeman group is better off in my hands."

10 billion?

Fiona gritted her teeth. It seemed that the Harrington family was really supportive of this. In addition to the 8.8 billion, Ashley had made up for the 1.2 billion.

Oh my God! This was her mother's family! Her own brother and her own niece!

Fiona was so angry that she couldn't speak, slowed down for a while, before gritting her teeth and saying.

"The Freeman group is a joint stock company! The biggest shareholder is my son! If you want to buy the Freeman group, you should ask him!"

"I sent someone to look for my cousin. He's been missing for so long. I guess he died out there."

"Wesley that old fox is also pushed away by me. So only you, the mother in charge, will serve on my behalf."

"You!" Fiona was grief-stricken.

It was only then that she saw Ashley's step-by-step plan clearly. First she induced her to sell her shares and mortgage her house, getting a huge amount of money to bring down the Freeman group and then changing ownership to her name.

Seeing that Fiona had not said anything, Ashley was a bit impatient, "Fiona, dawdling will not help. Why not be straightforward? Sign it! The Freeman group will merge with the Harrington Group in the future, and the status will only go higher!"

Fiona was beyond desperation.

Was the Freeman group ... really going to be ruined in her hands?

She bit her lower lip, and there was a row of blood marks on the lips. Her hands were trembling and trying to get a pen.

A cold and proud voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Miss Harrington is too happy to buy the Freeman group. She should have asked me first!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Fiona and Ashley were both severely shocked!
