CHAPTER 2470: CHAPTER 2483

Even though Ashton knew that Rebecca Kelloway was making some small moves and secretly taking business from Heath Group, since those businesses were not of much importance to Heath Group anyway, he only asked Cody Aberton to keep an eye on the Kelloway Group’s activities, without intending to retaliate against them.

Madam Heath had advised him that the Heath family and the Kelloway family had been friends for decades, and he should not make things too ugly and ruthless.

Ashton heeded Madam Heath’s advice.

As long as Rebecca did not continue to harm Joanna Lawrence, Ashton didn’t really care if she took a bit of business from Heath Group.

To him, Rebecca’s tactics were just child’s play; he didn’t take them seriously.

However, if it involved Joanna, then it crossed his bottom line.

He would no longer be merciful to the Kelloways.

It would be easy for Heath Group to deal with the Kelloway Group.

Especially since the Kelloway Group was only just recovering and was far less powerful than before.

On the other end, Cody Aberton replied quickly: Yes, President Ashton, I’ll handle it right away.

Ashton believed in Cody’s ability; there was nothing Cody couldn’t handle.

After notifying Cody, he looked down at the little woman sleeping soundly in his arms. His long, fair fingers gently touched her flushed, soft cheek, his deep and dark eyes showing a fleeting chill.

No one could harm his baby.

They arrived at Heath Group.

As Ashton was getting out of the car, he saw Joanna leaning on his leg, already fast asleep, and he couldn’t bear to wake her.

After thinking for a moment, he unbuckled the seatbelt, opened the car door, and then gently picked her up with great care.

Joanna was sleeping soundly. Ashton carried her out of the car, and she still didn’t wake up.

Ashton carried her like this into the elevator.

Upon reaching the 37th floor, Ashton carried Joanna, covered by his coat and leaning against his chest, her face looking sweetly asleep, out of the elevator.

As he walked past several secretary’s desks, Ashton’s gaze stopped their impending greeting of, "Good afternoon, President Ashton."

The secretaries who caught his gaze suddenly fell silent, and then they noticed the person he was carrying in his arms.

Ashton carried Joanna and quickly walked into his office.

After he left, the secretaries, who didn’t even dare to breathe loudly just now, huddled together and whispered excitedly.

"President Ashton is so thoughtful. He didn’t want us to make any noise that might wake up Ms. Joanna."

"Wow, President Ashton’s princess carry really touched my girlish heart. He carried her so carefully."

"Who would have thought that the usually cold President Ashton could be so affectionate when it comes to spoiling his woman? Ms. Joanna is so lucky to have President Ashton’s love."

"Yeah, you can tell that President Ashton really loves Ms. Joanna. He must like her a lot to treat her so well."

"It’s obvious that those hot search items on the blog were deliberately hyped up by someone to mislead the general public. President Ashton and Ms. Joanna’s relationship is clearly good, but some people make it sound like they’re on the verge of breaking up. Who knows what their intentions are."

"Isn’t it? President Ashton and Ms. Joanna have always had a good relationship, and he’s always been very doting on her. Today, he even asked me to buy desserts from downstairs. He doesn’t like sweets, so they must be for Ms. Joanna. With him spoiling her so much, how could he possibly regret being with Ms. Joanna?"
