At the hospital.
Chris was fuming. A shattered arm? He could barely contain his rage
He barked at Kevin, “I don’t care how you do it. Find out who that man is!”
Kevin had already hit a dead end investigating him. If it were that easy, he would've found out long ago,
Just as Chris finished getting his wound treated, his phone rang
Fred's voice was sharp and impatient. “Get to the office. Now”
Chris frowned. “You're at the office?”
Hearing that Fred had gone to the office, Chris's face darkened.
Since handing over the company to him, their father hadn't set foot in the building for a long time.
Thirty minutes later, Chris walked into Ashford Group, his presence alone making employees tense up.
The bruises, the cast-it was obvious this wasn't just saccident.
The second he pushed open the office door, something cflying at him.
A glass of water. Smashed right against his forehead.
Warm liquid dripped down his face, leaving him looking utterly pathetic.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKevin, standing behind him, stiffened.
If Fred was throwing things, this was bad.
“Get in here!” Fred roared.
Chris clenched his jaw, stepping inside as Kevin quickly shut the door. Not that anyone outside would dare
eavesdrop-who in their right mind would mess with him now?
Fred's glare was ice-cold. “What the hell are you doing? You're still tangled up with that Hart girl?”
Chris wiped his face and scoffed. “That's why you calledback?”
His tone only fueled Fred's anger. “Called you back? Chris, do you even realize what's happening? The Lucano
family has already chosen their business partner!”
Chris’s expression darkened. “What?”
“You heard me,” Fred snapped. “How are you this clueless?”
He truly had no idea-not even the slightest hint.
Seeing his silence, Fred knew immediately that Chris was completely in the dark.
“This deal is practically sealed, and you haven't even met the other party!”
Chris's stomach sank. “Who is it?”

“What?”
“Who did the Lucano family pick as their Long Harbor partner?” Chris's voice was ice-cold.
Fred Ashford didn’t answer right away.
If he had that information, he wouldn’t be standing here arguing-he’d already be face-to-face with the Lucano
heir.
But so far, that guy had only met with his chosen partner, shutting everyone else out.

But so far, that guy had only met with his chosen partner, shutting everyone else out. “If | knew, do you think I'd
still be here talking to you? Get to the bottom of it, now!”
“Chris, if we don’t lock down a replacement, do you have any idea how deep we'll be in?”
That mineral was the backbone of their operation. Without it, entire production lines would grind to a halt.
The fact that Chris still had the bandwidth to worry about that frail woman? It pissed Fred off.
“If this company goes under, Olivia Hart goes down with it.”
His tone was sharp, the threat unmistakable.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChris’s expression turned even darker, but inside, his chest tightened.
He knew his father too well, he didn’t make empty threats.
And Chris understood just how much was riding on that mineral.
“I got it,” he said through gritted teeth.
Fred took a slow drag from his cigarette. “Your mother was right. That woman is nothing but trouble.”
