My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1928 - 1922: Stuffed with a Mouthful of Puppy Love

But neither the Heath family, nor the Parker family, or the Luther family, had ever invested such an amount of money in the Kelloway family.

So the source of this funding had become a curiosity for everyone.

The Kelloway family was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the Kelloway Group had become an empty shell.

At this point, who would still be willing to invest so much money into this empty shell?

Weren’t they afraid that it would be a bottomless pit, and they wouldn’t even be able to recover the principal investment?

"Keep an eye on any movements from the Kelloway Group. Investigate who recently has been in contact with them," President Ashton said.

"Yes, President Ashton."

"No rush. Take your time." Ashton Heath looked at the time and rubbed his brow as he got up. "Let’s go eat first. Let them know that we will change the meeting to one hour later."

Cody Aberton was taken aback and followed him, saying, "President Ashton, haven’t we already ordered takeout?"

"We’ll eat downstairs," Ashton Heath explained while opening the office door. "Ms. Joanna just called and asked me to eat properly. I have to listen to her. Otherwise, she would scold me if she found out I was eating takeout. Oh, right. Cancel the takeout."

Cody Aberton: "..."

So why did he have to ask that question?

He was just fed a mouthful of puppy love.

Sigh, it seems like no one’s words carry as much weight as Ms. Joanna’s do.

Ms. Joanna tells President Ashton not to eat takeout, and he doesn’t.

He had also tried to persuade him several times before.

But President Ashton had never listened to him, only giving him a cold glance instead.

Yet, Ms. Joanna’s words were like a Royal Decree.

That’s why they say "an equal match."

No matter what kind of person you are, there is always someone in this world who can manage you.

And you are willingly managed by them.

Ms. Joanna is the person who can manage President Ashton.

Anyway, he thinks that Ashton Heath is now in Ms. Joanna’s hands for the rest of his life.

So why does he feel a bit envious?

He also wants to find someone who can manage him.

"Madam, the young master is back."

After being frightened by Ashton Heath, Lady Parker had been bedridden.

Hearing that Frank Parker had returned, her face lit up with joy, and she seemed much more spirited. "Really? Frank is back."

"Yes, the young master has just returned. He is very worried about you, madam," the maid replied.

No sooner had the maid finished speaking than a tall figure entered Lady Parker’s bedroom.

"Young Master." As soon as the maid saw Frank Parker, she respectfully greeted him.

"Frank," Lady Parker called out joyfully when she saw her son.

"Out." Frank Parker cast the maid a hard look and spoke in a deep voice.

Seeing his grim expression, the maid quickly turned around and left.

Once the door was closed, only Lady Parker and her son Frank were left in the bedroom.

It was only when Frank approached the bedside that Lady Parker realized something was off about his expression.

Confused, she called out again as she met her son’s cold gaze, "Frank, what is...?"

Frank Parker’s expression remained icy. He stared coldly at Lady Parker, who appeared weak in bed, and spoke in a chilly tone, "Was it you who arranged for that thing to be done?"

"Wha-What?" Lady Parker stammered.

"That Christian, was he arranged by you?" Frank continued to interrogate. "Was it you who instructed him to sneak into Joanna Lawrence’s room in the middle of the night?"

Lady Parker’s face changed instantly.
