My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1917 - 1911: Isn’t President Ashton Too Terrible?
"Early in the morning the next day, Ashton Heath took Joanna Lawrence to the airport and waited until her flight took off before returning to Closia.
Cody Aberton picked him up at the airport.
Just as Cody got off the plane and was about to report yesterday’s work to him, Ashton asked, "How is the situation with the Bridge family now? Did you handle the matter I asked you to take care of?"
Cody was taken aback for a moment, and quickly following behind Ashton, he immediately answered, "According to President Ashton’s instructions, I have hijacked several collaborations between the Bridge family and other companies."
"Spread the word," Ashton narrowed his eyes and an icy aura surrounded him, "From now on, any company that has collaborated with the Bridge family, the Heath Group will no longer cooperate."
Cody startled again, a look of surprise crossed his face.
He had a hunch why President Ashton was targeting the Bridge family.
The sudden cancellation of a few collaborations was due to Ms. Joanna’s incident.
Later, President Ashton asked him to hijack several major collaborations between the Bridge family and other companies. Cody saw it as President Ashton’s residual anger and could understand such behavior.
But now...
Cody felt that things didn’t seem to be as simple as he thought.
With President Ashton’s actions, he essentially severed all possibilities for the Bridge family to establish their presence in Closia.
Although the Bridge family has power and status, after all, Closia is the Heath family’s territory, under the Heath family’s control.
If the Bridge family wanted to establish and grow in Closia, Ashton’s words earlier were like sentencing the Bridge family to death.
Cody felt that even if Sunny Bridge had offended Ms. Joanna before, it wouldn’t have led President Ashton to make such a decision.
Could it be that there is something else he doesn’t know?
After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally nodded and said, "Yes, President Ashton, I will pass down the message. But..."
"But what?" Ashton’s voice was cold, unusual for him.
Cody rubbed his hands together, feeling as if the temperature in the middle of the airport terminal was a tad too low.
Why was it so cold today?
It was so cold that he felt goosebumps all over his body.
He sneakily glanced at Ashton’s expression, then cautiously replied, "President Ashton, the Parker family also has a partnership with the Bridge family. Plus, the two families are considering a marriage alliance. If the Parker family refuses to cooperate, then we..."
"From now on, all business dealings with the Parker family will also be cut off."
An immediate response.
Cody was shocked, showing surprise, "President Ashton, do you really want to do this? The Parker family and the Heath family have been collaborating for many years, and you are good friends with Mr. Parker. This..."
Seeing Ashton’s face darken, Cody’s voice slowly grew fainter, too scared to finish his sentence.
He wanted to say, it doesn’t seem appropriate to proceed this way.
To sabotage the relationship with the Parker family to target the Bridge family, doesn’t seem necessary.
Even without the partnership with the Parker family, it wouldn’t impact the Heath family immensely, but the longstanding friendship between the Parker family and the Heath family shouldn’t end up this way.
Especially for the sake of a Bridge family, it’s not worth it.
"Didn’t you understand my words?" Ashton looked at him, his eyes lacking warmth, "Do you need me to repeat it to you again?"
"No, no need." Cody quickly waved his hands, wisely saying, "I understand President Ashton’s instructions now."
Oh, my God, President Ashton is terrifying.
How come he transformed into such a terror after a trip to Halifax.
