Chapter 96 Ashton Wouldn’t Divorce Deborah

Hector knew that Ashton had heard clearly and said in a deep voice, “It’s exactly what you heard.”

Even when things turned out to be this, Ashton still couldn’t help laughing.

“Grandpa, what are saying? Who from the Moxley family do you want me to marry? The three

grandsons of the Moxley family?”

Donna Moxley had only one son. He was Kolt Moxley, the current president of the Moxley Group, who

had three sons. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Ashton thought that Hector might be confused because of being angry with him.

Hector’s expression didn’t change at all, and he was very sober now. “After Mrs. Donna Moxley gave

birth to Mr. Moxley, she was in poor health and could not reproduce. But she adopted a daughter, and

later that daughter married a rich man.

“However, the adoptive daughter was not lucky. Not long after she got married, something happened to

her husband’s company. The company rapidly worsened, so she could only rely on the Moxley family.

To please the Moxley family and Mrs. Donna Moxley, the adoptive daughter let her daughter be

surnamed Moxley.

“The child’s name is Rebecca Moxley, and it is said that she has lived directly in Moxley Manor these

years. She is very close to people from the Moxley family as if she is the granddaughter of Mrs. Donna

Moxley.”

Ashton sneered. “So what? Her mother is just the adoptive daughter of the Moxley family. How close

can Rebecca be to the Moxley family?”

Hector slapped the desk again angrily. “Shut up! As long as the Moxley family treats her as the

granddaughter of Mrs. Donna Moxley, she has the ear of Mrs. Donna Moxley!

“You try to date her first and treat her well. Then, your marriage will gradually be as a matter of

course.”

Ashton refused without hesitation, “Grandpa, it is bigamy. My wife is still sitting downstairs.”

Hector coughed uncontrollably. “Then, divorce Deborah! Don’t you know how often Deborah has kept

in touch with Joseph recently? Don’t play dumb in front of me!

“If you don’t break up with her early, she will hurt you worse than Helen in the future!”

Ashton put away his indifferent attitude and said coldly, “I won’t divorce her.”

He wanted to tell Hector that Deborah was pregnant, but thinking about what Hector might do to her, he

held back and didn’t say it.

Hector was furious. “You bastard! The matter has come to this point. How can you end it?

“Deborah has a lot of contacts with Joseph, which may have been discovered. The evidence may

spread in the

company someday.”

Ashton, the president of the Mullen Group, let his mistress steal confidential information about the

company. His wife had something to do with the president of a rival company. How could the

shareholders believe that nothing would happen?

If Deborah was still with Ashton, she would bring Ashton danger anytime.

Ashton insisted on his idea. “I won’t get a divorce. I will settle the deal with the Moxley Group, and I

won’t let Joseph take the lead. Grandpa, don’t worry. I will handle everything.”

He turned around and directly left, and Hector behind him was heartbroken and said, “The foundation

of the Mullen family for so many years is not used to be your bet.

“The person who sneaked into the chat group of the company and spread the photos is still unknown.

That person is in the dark, and we are in the light. If you don’t make a decisive decision now, it will be

too late when the situation gets worse…”

Ashton didn’t say anything more and went downstairs to leave.

The voice behind him was far away and gradually disappeared, and it turned into Hector coughing with

difficulty.

Ashton’s heart trembled a little when hearing it.

Hector was over eighty years old. If Ashton’s parents hadn’t passed away early, Hector wouldn’t have

had to be so worried about Ashton now.

Ashton knew well that the company couldn’t take risks now.

Some senior executives already handed in their resignation letters angrily, and the situation was rapidly

deteriorating.

What was worse, he heard that Joseph had invited Steven to dinner again.

Ashton had already half settled the deal with the Moxley Group.

If it still failed in the end, probably Ashton would take all the responsibilities.

In fact, he knew in his heart that the person behind it was probably Joseph.

But there was no evidence. The Black family was not easy to deal with. Without evidence, no matter

what he said, he could do nothing to Joseph.

Ashton’s mind was in a mess, and when he walked down the stairs, his emotions had all restrained.

Deborah was still sitting on the sofa downstairs and playing with her mobile phone.

Ashton approached her to hold her hand to let her get up. “Let’s go back.”

Deborah glanced sideways at him, looking him up and down.

She seemed to be a little surprised that he looked safe and sound.

Ashton concealed a trace of displeasure. Seeing that she was sitting still, he added some strength to

and pulled her up.

After getting into the car, Ashton remained silent.

He was typing on the laptop. With a long face, he was probably discussing countermeasures with his

assistant or something.

The car was almost home, and Deborah intentionally made him unhappy. “I just heard it from the

servants in

Mullen Manor.”

Sure enough, Ashton’s face turned even darker, and he looked sideways at her silently.

Deborah smiled. “Your grandfather wants you to marry the granddaughter of the Moxley family. Then

when will you divorce me?”

Ashton looked at her coldly. “You want to divorce me.

Deborah smiled more comfortably. “Of course. It’s the same as asking me if I like to get something of

nothing.”

Ashton closed the laptop at hand with a bang. “Deborah, don’t dream about the divorce. Even if I can’t

bear it anymore, and the sky falls to kill me, I won’t divorce you.”

Deborah tut-tutted lightly. “What you said is somehow touching.”

Seeing her sitting far away, Ashton stretched out his hand irritably to pull her to his side.

“You are pregnant, and I don’t want to quarrel with you. I was wrong in the past, and I will make it up to

you. I saved you once, Deborah. Give me another chance.”

When he said this, he kept calm, and he said it as a matter of course.

Sure enough, Deborah’s face was in a trance for a moment. After all, she couldn’t remain indifferent.

Ashton could tell that she didn’t know the truth yet.

He was finally relieved and said with more confidence, “I have done many bad things to you in these

years,

but it can’t be denied that I saved you.

“I don’t expect you to forgive me. I just hope that you are willing to stay and give me a chance to make

up

you.”

Seeing his boastful appearance, Deborah slowly sneered. “Ashton, have you forgotten? I have paid

you for you saving my life.

“That night, when I jumped off the roof of the hospital, I said I paid you back. You refused, but we’ve

settled it long ago.”

The car arrived outside the gate of Flora Villa, but a car parked at the gate blocked the way in.

The gate was very wide, and it was not impossible to go in if Jeff went around it.

But Ashton said, “Stop the car.”

Jeff stepped on the brakes immediately.

The driver’s door of the horizontal car ahead opened, Joseph got out of the car and walked over.

Ashton pulled Deborah over and pushed her against the corner of the car door.

He pressed Deborah’s shoulder with one hand and pushed open the car door beside him with the other

hand.

Deborah struggled. He held her down and leaned down to kiss her hard.

Joseph didn’t expect Ashton to be so shameless. He strode over, and through the opened car door, he

saw Deborah being pressed down and kissed by Ashton.

Ashton expected that Joseph would shrink back from difficulties or leave with anger.

Or Joseph would be more impulsive. He would drag Ashton so that they would have a conflict or even

fight.

Joseph was indeed a little impulsive, but when he reached in, he grabbed Deborah.

Ashton didn’t expect that. He thought that Joseph was going to beat him up, so he let go of Deborah

and was

about to fight back.

However, Deborah, who was being held down by him, was dragged out of the car by Joseph.

The corner of Deborah’s mouth was bitten to bleed, and the blood stained her lips.

Now that she was caught off guard and dragged out of the car by Joseph, she couldn’t help blushing.

It was five o’clock in the morning, and it was still a little dark.

Joseph’s face was shrouded in the shadows. His mood was unclear.

He lowered his eyes and wiped Deborah’s lips with his fingertips. Deborah was probably a little

frightened, so

she didn’t react for a moment and let him do it.

Ashton punched Joseph furiously. “Get your dirty hands off her!”

Joseph pulled Deborah behind him and looked at Ashton with a smile.

“Mr. Mullen, you are having a hard time recently, aren’t you? You are about to lose your position as the

president of the company. How about this? You let me take Deborah away, and I stop fighting against

you?”
