My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1979 - 1973: I Don’t Know What He Could Be Busy With

"I’ve already talked to your dad. You and Gary will share half of all the family businesses. So, accept everything I give you now because these things originally belong to you."

Joanna Lawrence looked at the card in her hand and hesitated for a moment before raising her head to Madam White and nodding, "Okay, I’ll accept it."

Madam White’s face broke into a smile, "I also prepared a villa for you, and it’s currently being renovated. Once it’s done, I’ll take you to see it. Although Ashton is treating you well now, things can change. It’s always good to have a backup plan."

"I want my daughter to be confident and always have the ability to leave. You don’t need to depend on anyone."

Joanna felt touched by Madam White’s intention and said, "Mom, thank you."

When Joanna went to find Ashton Heath, he was still playing chess with Sir White.

It seemed that a game had just ended.

"Dad, I lost again." Ashton put a chess piece on the board and raised his head to smile at Sir White, "I admit defeat, you win."

"This isn’t about skill. You just let this old man win on purpose." Sir White was happy, his face full of smiles, "Ashton, it’s not easy for you. To lose to me without a trace and not letting me notice is not something an ordinary person can do."

Ashton hooked his lips, "It’s you who are great, Sir. I can’t compete with you."

"I’m not blind. I can see that you deliberately let me win two pieces. Otherwise, I would have lost this game. Gary said it right, even the two of us combined might not be your match. There aren’t many young people who can play chess as well as you. Not many can settle down and learn this."

"No wonder you managed the Heath Group so well at such a young age. This is impressive."

After a few rounds of chess, Sir White, who had already admired Ashton, appreciated his son-in-law even more.

His words were full of praise.

It seemed that he was extremely satisfied with Ashton.

"Ashton, I’ve never heard my husband praise anyone like this. Not even for Gary." Madam White walked into the chess room with Joanna.

"It’s true." Gary White agreed, "Ashton, my dad is very pleased with you. These few games were worth playing."

"That’s because Ashton is truly outstanding." Sir White glared at Gary, "Don’t think everyone is like you. You should learn from Ashton. If you can be as excellent as him, I won’t need to worry about you."

Gary rubbed his forehead, looking pained, "Enough, Dad. Stop talking about it. Just accept that your son is like this. I’ll be like this for the rest of my life, never amounting to anything more." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"You..."

"Enough, don’t argue anymore. Joanna and Ashton are still here." Madam White stopped the argument.

Gary spread his hands, "I don’t even want to argue with him. I have something to do, and I have to go out for a while. I might not be back tonight."

"Where are you going again?" Sir White frowned.

"It’s work-related. You won’t understand even if I tell you." Gary finished speaking and turned to look at Joanna, "Joanna, I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning, and we’ll go together."

After saying that, Gary left.

Behind him, Sir White was full of dissatisfaction, "I don’t know what he’s busy with."
