Chapter 89
Ash had just arrived downstairs when she met an unexpected person.
“Hello, Ash,” Dwayne greeted her as he walked over. “Are you free now?”

Ash raised an eyebrow in confusion. If she remembered correctly, the man in front of her was Calvert’s friend. They had sat at the same table at the bar before.
“I’m not free,” she replied flatly. Calvert had just brought a major issue to the company, and at that moment, she didn’t want to see anyone or anything related to him.
Surprised by her cold response, Dwayne stepped closer and stood in front of her, undeterred. “Are you interested in going somewhere with me?”
“No.” Ash walked past him without the slightest interest.
Dwayne, left standing there, felt a bit helpless. No wonder she was Calvert’s fiancée, her personality was just as bold and fierce as his.
He lifted his gaze to glance at the office building of Shadow Ventures, unable to believe that this stunning and arrogant woman could be playing the role of a mistress here.
“Calvert wants to talk to you. Are you sure you don’t want to go?” he called out to Ash who was striding away.
Since Calvert didn’t stop him, it meant he tacitly approved of him seeking her out. Calvert probably wouldn’t mind the excuse he used either.
Ash’s eyes flashed with contemplation. Since that day of the cold war, she and Calvert hadn’t been in touch at all. She wondered if he wanted to talk to her about the land issue concerning Shadow Ventures.
After a few seconds, she stopped and said in a clear voice, “Okay.”
At the Moreno family residence, Samantha, looking refreshed after washing up, came downstairs and sat between her
parents.
In her mind, it didn’t matter if she couldn’t send Ash to prison, her parents still had to rely on her to bring in investments.
Thinking of this, the exhaustion on her face faded, replaced by a look of pride. She deliberately kept quiet and waited for her parents to ask her.
As expected, the anxious Dexter couldn’t hold back and asked, “Samantha, who was the investor you mentioned before? Do you have any specific information?”
Samantha kept them in suspense and finally revealed under her parents‘ gaze. “It’s from one of the four major families in Riverstone. Someone has agreed to invest in our company.”
“The four major families?” Dexter’s face lit up with joy. He had initially worried it was someone unimportant. “I didn’t expect you to know anyone from them. Who is it?”
“I won’t reveal the name just yet,” Samantha paused before adding, “You just need to wait to receive the investment.”
“Just as expected of our biological daughter, Samantha, you’re indeed amazing!” Lorelei praised, her earlier displeasure finally fading away.
In these three days, it was not that they did not have the ability to bail out Samantha, but neither of them could bring

themselves to do so. They decided to let her stay for three days as a warning, knowing there would be no serious consequences, and that she would just be waiting at home for the next two years.
“Of course, with both of you being so outstanding. I’m naturally not bad either, Samantha said.
Looking at his daughter’s confidence, Dexter, who was originally skeptical, gradually believed her. “Then I’ll be waiting for your good news. But the company can’t hold on much longer, so I hope your friend comes through quickly.”
“Dad, don’t worry. I’ll settle this matter in three days? Samantha was very confident. That person had already agreed to her on WhatsApp and definitely wouldn’t back out.
