The person on the other end of the line finally sensed that something was wrong. The gentle voice kept coming. “Boss? Why are you not saying anything? Is there something going on?”
Calvert felt that William was talking too much. He hung up the phone and put it back to where it was.
It turned out that Ash was the actual chairman of Shadow Ventures.
No wonder she had always worked so hard for Shadow Ventures and that explained why William had always respected her.
Calvert had really underestimated the woman, who was currently sitting next to him. In the past, when she was a member of the Moreno family, she did not have any resources or connections. She relied solely on her own capability and insistently created her own destiny.
He found that extraordinary.
William was still ringing Ash’s phone non–stop. Ash finally woke up to the constant vibration of her phone. She rubbed her eyes and answered the call. “What is the matter?” she asked impatiently.
“Why are you calling me at this hour? Stop calling. It’s annoying Ash was extremely angry when she got up and ended the call.
Calvert, on the other hand, was focused on driving. He looked at her slightly and said, “We are almost there. You seem to have slept well.”
Ash was woken up for no reason. That was why she glared at Calvert angrily. “What exactly do you want to say? Are you going to say that I snored? Or are you going to say that I was drooling?”
“I did not say anything.” Calvert was in a good mood.
There was scrutiny in Ash’s eyes. “Then shut up. My phone kept finging. Why did you not wake me up?”
“Oh, it was your ringtone. I thought you played some lullaby.” Calvert’s mouth was as sharp and mean as a professional stand–up comedian.
Ash was so angry, but at the same time, found Calvert funny. Shjolly well knew that nothing good ever came out of his mouth and decided that she should stop wasting energy on him
She then turned silent. After some pondering, she felt that she had just been made fun of. She sat up straight and said, “Since you inexplicable thought of a lullaby, does that mean that you need someone to lull you to sleep at night? Do you need your grandma to tell you a bedtime story?”
After saying this, Ash felt much better. She would not allow herself to be at a disadvantage in front of Calvert.
It was rare for Calvert to not retort’stonily. His expression was in different as usual. He looked ahead and stopped the car a moment later.
The more Ash thought about this last part of the journey, the more she felt that it was strange. I had just argued with him. but did he not retort? Moreover, she had answered William’s cal right in front of him, but he did not say anything harsh.
Ash got out of the car, took a few steps, turned around, and bent at the waist to look at Calvert through the window. “Is there something wrong with you? You are not acting like how you usually do. Or did you feed me poison when I was asleep just
now?”
She could see Calvert’s intention to smile. For him to get to that point for no reason, it must be nothing good.
Calvert placed his hands on the steering wheel and stared straight at her with his long and narrow eyes as if he wanted to suck her into his body. “When you go to the hospital in the morning, you may want to check your brain. I think you have

paranoia.”
Ash tried not to roll her eyes.

Calvert’s well–defined fingers tapped the steering wheel twice, and his lips slowly opened. “I am withdrawing my bidding from that piece of land at Riverstone’s Commercial Area. Let’s just say it is for the sake of our one–year agreement.”
Ash frowned. “You are the one who needs to go to get your brain checked.”
Calvert retracted his gaze and his face softened a little. He then stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
