Chapter 19 Clear Up the Misunderstanding
#Shocking! Yates Group Leader's Secret Relationship Exposed!#
#Congrats, the Tycoon is Going to Be a Dad!#
Ashley never paid attention to the news, but when she saw the headlines, she looked at Ethan in shock. "Aren't you just a gigolo? How can you be the leader of the Yates Group? And why is it that as soon as I get pregnant, this news is everywhere?"
Ethan sneered. "Even if you lived under a rock with a 2G network, you'd know who I am just by glancing at the news. Yet you kept calling me a gigolo. With such excellent acting skills, it's a pity you're not an actress!"
"Why are you pretending not to know? Didn't you plan all of this?"
Ashley was unsettled. She had already come to terms with his identity as a gigolo and just wanted to have the babies and give them a complete family.
But now, he had suddenly become the leader of the Yates Group. To outsiders, it looked like she had gone from rags to riches.
But why did he make it sound like she had planned all of this?
"What does the exposure have to do with me?"
Ashley was confused.
At that moment, Ethan's phone rang. He snatched the phone from Ashley's hand and glared at her coldly. "Behave yourself. If you try to stir up trouble again, even if Grandpa protects you, I won't let you off."
Ashley was speechless. "You must be kidding..."
Outside the door.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
"Mr. Yates, we've found the cause. It was a private detective hired by our competitor, the Morris Group, who took the photos. They also bribed the media and hired internet trolls to blow things up, aiming to ruin our billion-dollar royal order."
Ethan was stunned. He had just angrily accused Ashley of being ruthless, but now he was told he was wrong.
He sneered. "The Morris Group?They've been acting recklessly."
"Mr. Yates, we've already caught the person responsible. How should we handle it?"
"Do whatever you want. I'll deal with them after I handle things here."
"Understood."
After hanging up the phone, Ethan's expression was complicated. He realized he had wronged her and felt a pang of guilt.
After thinking for a moment, he called his lawyer, "Mr. Johnson, draft a contract and bring it to the hospital..."
Ethan stood at the door of the hospital room for a while, trying to go in and apologize. He hesitated for a long time but couldn't swallow his pride, so he went to a corner to smoke.
After her initial shock, Ashley took out her phone to browse the news and look up information about the Yates Group. The Yates Group had a wide range of business interests, with assets all over Aurora, making it a company that many envied and resented.
After reading this, Ashley finally understood why she and Ethan had never been on the same page.
She had mistaken him for a gigolo, and he had mistaken her for a gold digger.
She remembered that the company Hannah Park had contacted was also the Yates Group! It seemed their connection was indeed quite extraordinary!
Her future husband had transformed from a gigolo into an Old Money heir. Ashley felt relieved, even feeling like she had hit the jackpot. However, she was still angry about his earlier misunderstanding.
Half an hour later, Ethan walked into her ward with a sharply dressed man.
"Who is this?"
"Mr. Johnson, show her the contract."
Mr. Johnson nodded and handed the contract to Ashley. When she opened it, she found it was a prenuptial agreement.
"If you have any requests, let Mr. Johnson add them."
Ashley was surprised. "Weren't you disdainful of marrying me? Why are you now proactively signing a contract with me?"
Ethan's expression stiffened slightly. "I misunderstood you. It was my competitor who was behind it."
Ashley raised an eyebrow. "It was a misunderstanding. So why don't you apologize?"
Ethan kept a stern face and looked at her coldly. However, the woman wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she raised her chin with an expression that said, 'It's only right to apologize when you're wrong.'
Ethan's lips twitched. "Sorry."
Ashley pretended to clean her ears. "How can the mighty Yates Group heir speak so softly, like a mosquito?"
Ethan half-squinted his eyes. "Don't push your luck!"
When had he ever apologized to anyone? She was the first!
Ashley smiled. "It's important to approach requests with the right attitude, especially when you're asking for something from someone else. I guess the malicious comments online could cost you billions..."
Ethan was furious. She was really bold.
The two locked eyes, sparks flying, and the atmosphere suddenly became very subtle...
Sensing the tension, Mr. Johnson wisely exited the room quietly...
