A loud gasp erupted in the hall as they all chorused it in utmost surprise.
Ashton had struck Myles even harder than a strike of lightning would have. No one had believed it because they had barely even seen it happen.
Fire burned in Ashton's eyes as he was consumed by an aura of rage. They didn't notice it or when it happened, but Ashton was now on his feet.
"What the f*ck?!" Myles growled. He tried to get up to his feet, but everything around him seemed to be spinning as he stumbled back to the ground.
Diana rushed to him, and a loud gasp escaped her mouth, with her eyes shining wide in shock as Myles spat out blood from his mouth. "Oh my god! Mr Jameson! Are you alright?"
Myles froze for a second; he didn't know how to react as his

The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce A THIN THREAD OF HOPE
Myles couldn't believe it even though it happened twice in a row! Did she just hit him? For real? He wasn't the only one left dumbfounded by her action. Murmurs filled the hall from all those who backed him up and insulted Ashton just a while ago. Not a single person dared to withstand the fire in Elizabeth's eyes or even dare to speak up and talk less of questioning her action. But Myles refused to be embarrassed in front of several eyes. "What? Why would you hit me? What exactly was that for?!" His eyes widened as the veins on his neck bulged out like they were about to snap. His fists clenched into a ball out of rage as he tried to stop himself from doing the unthinkable! If it were Ashton then he wouldn't even hold back at all! "A little bird of mine told me what you have been up to, who do you think you are to try and crash my own party?" Elizabeth arched her thin brows as she spoke. "Who do you think you are?" Even a queen would definitely not have the kind of aura she
The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce MYSTERIOUS MAN
Elizabeth sat in a private room at Sky Castle. The manager of her company had piled up a list of candidates listed for the partnership, and she didn't even bother to read any others. She fished out Rebecca's file and ran her eyes through it. Everything she found was impressive; she had to admit that she knew that Knowles & Co. was the best company to partner with by far. But something didn't quite clear out in her mind. Knowles and Co. was nothing but a company in the dust; people barely knew of their existence for so many years, but they tremendously climbed up to the top in the ratio of three years! How could that ever be possible? Several great companies invested in them and helped them get to where they were at the moment. One could call it luck, but it was beyond that. It was either magic or the work of a caring husband. Her eyes trailed up to Ashton, where he sat. He knew she needed her solitude to fairly decide to whom the partnership would be awarded, so he sat himself d
The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce WHY DOES WINNING FEEL LIKE LOSING?
"Oh, I'll use it alright." She flashed him a smile. "Because of you, Knowles and co. will escape the wrath of me... For now, her company is allowed to stand a little while longer." Ashton only responded with a weak smile. He picked up his block puzzle and continued fiddling with it. Her eyes looked him up and down; what an extraordinary man he was indeed. She felt sorry for Rebecca for what she had lost—no, thrown away with her own hands! But she still marveled if he was really that nice or if it was all part of a secret master plan of his. Whichever one it was, or whichever it would turn out to be, she was definitely sticking around to find out. ★Myles couldn't quite wrap his head around the whole situation just yet. What even hurt more than his wounded pride and red cheek was the fact that he hadn't gotten the chance to lay with Rebecca yet!After everything he had done! Every penny he had spent! He alone knew how much the magic herb that saved Ms. Cooper's life cost him, and
The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce THE TRUTH OR A LIE?
Elizabeth rose to her feet with a sigh. "Well, I'm only doing this because of you. I would have loved to give the contract to Mr Gomez if it wasn't for the fact that he said he isn't accepting any deals from anyone in Beaumont for now." Ashton too rose to his feet. He dropped the puzzle block on the table and picked up the box of the magic herb. "Why did he say that?" Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders. "Well okay then. If there's nothing else for me to do here then I'd like to head back to my apartment." "Actually, I would like to introduce you to a few people if you don't mind staying a little longer. The herb is safe here and it will be in your room by the time you get there." She assured him with a look of certainty in her eyes. Ashton nodded his head as he dropped the box back on the table. "You go ahead, I'll meet you in a few minutes." She told him.Without any further questions, Ashton turned towards the door and left the room. He climbed down the stairs and returned to th
The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce NOT A SINGLE TRUST
Ashton felt like a knife had just been thrown right into his chest. She had kept quiet for so long? Why didn't she just keep quiet all the way?He thought to himself that she probably knew Myles wasn't responsible for it but didn't want to embarrass him. Rather, she would choose to embarrass Ashton since she never even cared about him and even if it was written on clear paper for what he had done, she would never give him the credit he deserved. His mouth opened to speak but she continued her speech. "Ashton, we all know you could never have achieved something like that, not even for us, so the only one lying in cold blood here is you." He scoffed a laugh. "Why do you look like what I'm saying is wrong? How could you be so persistent without even batting an eye?" She arched her brow, looking disappointedly at Ashton. "Ohhh I get it now," Myles uttered with a slight chuckle. He dipped one hand in his pocket with the hope and an attempt to look at least half as cool as Ashton did
The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce PROVING HIMSELF
She pushed the door open and led Ashton into the room. Several men and women sat at the long table, some exchanging words and soft laughs while others just focused on their food. The room fell silent and all eyes fell on both of them as they walked in together. "I apologize for keeping you waiting long everyone but there were vital matters that needed immediate tending to." Elizabeth apologized to the people. She opened a seat for Ashton next to her and he silently sat himself down. "Ashton, I'd like to introduce you to everyone here." She pointed at a chubby lady with short brown hair and a harsh smile. "This is Mrs Greg, the manager of the company that created the popular cereal, 'you can quake it'." The woman shot Ashton with a proud smile. Every household in the whole of Beaumont city with a young one and people who craved cereal had at least ten boxes of her creation in their home. Ashton gave her a respectful bow."This is Mr Andrews, my dad's partner is business." She poi
The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce DISAPPOINTED!
All eyes fell on Ashton in astonishment as he spoke with such an ascertained look on his face. Even as they all stared at him in disbelief, Ashton didn't for once stutter or look afraid and neither did as little as a bead of sweat formed on his head. "That's not all there is to it unfortunately, there are more that are even more worse than mere insomnia." Ashton added. Mr Greene scoffed. "Everyone knows I've been stressed lately due to work and keeping every drug in the perfect condition to treat people. You really think you can buy me off with that?" "If you'd let me finish. I said that's not all." Ashton said calmly. Mr Greene nudged his head forward, indicating Ashton went on with whatever crazy conspiracy was in his head. "I'm pretty sure you have noticed yourself, being a man in the medical field, that you have been having some mental and behavioral changes, sleep problems, depression, memory difficulties, and fatigue, am I right or right?" Mr Greene's eyes widened. "H-- ho

Elizabeth let out an angry sigh as the last of them exited the room. She still couldn't believe they had shown such reactions to Ashton.After a few seconds, she realizes that her arms were still wrapped around Ashton's meaning he was still in the room with her."I am so sorry, I didn't expect them to react like that, especially Mr Greene." She immediately apologized with her gaze fixed on him.Ashton flashed her a weak smile. "It's alright, I expected him to beat me up even, he was holding back.""How did you know he was going to react like that when none of us had sensed it coming? Are you psychic too?" She asked jokingly.Her words brought a slight smirk to Ashton's face. "As a man in the medical lane, he will feel really insulted by my words because of our age comparison. No matter how hard I tried to sound respectful, I was still insulting his knowledge and pride.""I see... But still he shouldn't have hit you! W
