Chapter 86 Did We Not Accomplish Anything?

With a blush on her face, Avery glared at Asher, annoyed. "At a time like this, you're still thinking about these things!"

Avery's mood was really bad, and she didn't want to give away her first time, which she had held onto for over twenty years, in such a state.

And Asher had done so much that Avery couldn't reject this request, even if... If, by any unfortunate circumstances, she were to get pregnant, she would definitely give birth to Asher's child and raise them well.

Her thoughts were very traditional, which is why her first time has been preserved to this day. She merely wanted her first time, which would happen on the wedding night, to be dedicated to her beloved, her husband.

But fate had other plans in store. Asher was a good husband, but she didn't love him. This was especially true when they got married three years ago. That's why she had kept herself away from him, never allowing Asher to touch her.

Because at that time, she was also considering the idea of divorcing Asher.

But now, Asher is no longer the way he used to be. She cannot divorce Asher anymore. In fact, she has grown highly dependent on Asher, even developing feelings for him!

She likes a man like this.

As others have said, meeting a man who is willing to give his life for you is a woman's greatest happiness and also her utmost fortune.

She is very fortunate.

But after all, this was the first time she had kept for so many years. She was a woman, and she often fantasized about giving her husband that wonderful night of her first time.

But the current night is not pleasant.

Moreover, she is indeed in her safe period!

Avery was feeling a bit frustrated and restless, so she uttered a word and entered her study. She needed to do something to divert her attention.

Asher took a shower and slowly lay down in his own bedroom.

The Parker family, like a cloudy sky, was weighing on him, making it difficult to catch his breath.

Tossing and turning, Asher switched on the desk lamp and leaned against the headboard.

"Click..."

A wisp of smoke lingered above, slowly dissipating.

Asher does actually smoke, but he rarely does, especially after marrying Avery. Asher has never smoked at home.

He always remembered a sentence that his grandfather Isaac had once told him: Life has its ups and downs. When faced with difficulties, don't consider them too difficult, or else you may lose the confidence to overcome them. However, don't think of difficulties as too simple either, for overconfidence leads to defeat!

Lightly exhaling a puff of smoke, Asher suddenly had a thought.

Perhaps the Parker family has no idea about their own identity!

Asher suddenly thought of a crucial point: Red Resort is not a place that everyone can go to. If the Parker family wants to eliminate themselves, they would definitely not choose a place like this.

And during this time, I haven't encountered any danger either.

This made Asher suddenly think of his other identity, the president of Fly Pictures!

A few months ago, Fly Pictures moved to New York and immediately attracted a wave of collaboration requests. Numerous businesses and esteemed families pleaded for partnerships, and the momentum was fierce!

However, Fly Pictures is a powerful player in the industry.

The mighty dragon does not suppress the local snake, and the Parker family is undoubtedly the true local snake of New York. According to reason, businesses wishing to settle down in New York for investment purposes ought to pay their respects to the local powerhouses!

In simpler terms, it is necessary to pay a visit to various influential families.

As the president of Fly Pictures, Asher was considered a visitor to their territory. It would be impolite not to pay a visit, as it would disregard the courtesy expected of him.

Or, in other words, his actions were a clear indication of his contempt towards the Parker family!

So tonight, the Parker family gave him, the mysterious CEO, a grand welcome!

If the Parker family knew that he was the White family's youngest, they would probably have sent someone to assassinate him long ago, and would not have put up such a display.

Moreover, when Javier went, they called him Mr. White instead of Qin Shao.

After going through this section, Asher suddenly had a moment of clarity.

As the time approached midnight, Asher flicked away his cigarette butt and called it a night!

Of course, Asher doesn't have overly optimistic thoughts about this matter. The reason he hasn't been visiting the Parker family is that he's afraid the people from the Parker family will recognize him!

This made Asher feel fortunate. When the White family fell from grace, almost all of the legitimate branches of the White family changed their names, and some even changed their surnames completely.

The White family concealed themselves within the city, changing their surname, seeking survival, and even considering a comeback in the future.

But time can erode one's will and also soothe hatred. After four years, it is conceivable that the White family has come to realize the truth. They no longer harbor thoughts of revenge, nor do they hold any hope of making a comeback.

Even Asher is the same.

If Jaxon hadn't found him, and if he hadn't stumbled upon The Snow by chance, he would probably still be a worthless son-in-law of the Morgan family, let alone seeking revenge.

And though his name had changed, four years had already passed since he turned twenty, so his appearance wouldn't have changed too much these past few years...

If it were the elderly members of the Parker family, they would definitely be able to recognize themselves!

Asher had just fallen asleep, but Stella, who was far away at the Ming Jia Club, woke up leisurely from her sleep.

She had a cheerful personality, but she didn't come across as carefree as one might expect.

Especially when she learned that Asher was already married, and that his wife, regardless of beauty or social status, was no less admirable than Avery, she felt a great sense of disappointment in her heart.

Women are emotional creatures. During this time spent with Asher, especially these past two days when he was bruised and battered for her sake, she was truly moved, even smitten!

Especially with Asher, she completely broke the boundaries between them twice.

During the day, Stella had her own thoughts, and during the night, she had her dreams. Surprisingly, Stella dreamt of Asher.

Moreover, it was an embarrassing dream.

In her dream, she had an encounter with Asher. Deep down, she knew it was just a dream, yet it felt so vivid and real. Every movement of Asher's trembling hands in her subconscious created an intense sensation that felt incredibly authentic.

After waking up, Stella quickly turned on the desk lamp and felt a dampness all over her body. Thinking about how she had been so proactive and willingly allowed Asher to bully her in her dream, Stella felt a blush creeping up on her face. She scolded herself inwardly, calling herself promiscuous.

But that overwhelming sense of victory, which needed to be released, made her gaze turn towards the bedside table.

Glancing at the time, it was already past midnight. Stella discreetly retrieved a small object from the bedside table and tucked it into her bed.

Soon, the sound of Stella's suppressed voice resonated in the bedroom...

The next morning, just like any other day, Asher prepared breakfast for Avery and then went out with The Snow for some exercise. Afterward, he drove to the office as usual, everything remained the same...

It was a little after three in the afternoon when Asher sat in the restaurant, having his meal. This had become his routine lately - exercising two hours after eating. However, what made him helpless was that Stella unexpectedly joined in on the excitement!

Today, Stella wore a pair of soft embroidered cloth shoes on her feet, and as a result, she wasn't wearing her usual matching dress. Even her face had a subtle layer of light makeup instead of the intricate craftsmanship of the past. Her bright eyes and white teeth were different from the youthful exuberance of young girls and lacked the vivacity of her usual self. However, this only enhanced her sensual allure, exuding the charm of a mature woman.

Asher looked up at her, she was captivatingly beautiful!

Stella set aside her plate and let out a yawn, showing little interest in the food on it.

"Why are you eating at this time?" Asher looked a bit puzzled, thinking to himself that this woman couldn't possibly be intentionally taking advantage of the opportunity to approach him. After all, he knew his own self-control was not great.

"Um... I stayed up too late last night, so I overslept this afternoon," Stella said with a sleepy and adorable expression, rubbing her temple lightly.

Now it's already past the employee dining time, and the restaurant is also very quiet. However, besides the regular cafeteria, there are various stir-fries and snacks in the company, all made to order. In addition to that, there are also more upscale private rooms provided for special executives and company VIPs.

"Of course, the price is also quite expensive."

So there weren't many people at this time, and Stella didn't seem to be reserved either.

"By the way, I saw you driving a new car this morning. Did you buy a car?" Stella suddenly said.

"Yeah, I'll pick you up tomorrow on your birthday," Asher nodded, affirming his words.

"No, I don't like riding in a new car. Let's stick with my car. I'm sure your car has a distinct smell inside. What if it affects my development if I happen to inhale it?"

"Um..."

Thank you for entrusting me with this translation task. I understand that you would like me to translate texts from any language to English, while ensuring that the translations flow naturally and maintain the original text's length. I will make sure to adjust the translations to suit the context of a Chinese-to-English novel without introducing any additional content beyond the source text.

How old are you, and you're still growing?

Asher couldn't help but notice Stella's swollen area.

Hmm, when it comes to this thing, of course, the bigger it grows, the better.

With a playful smile, Stella glanced up at Asher and lightly tapped an egg on the table. Suddenly, she said, "I dreamt about you last night."

"Dreamed of me?" Asher was taken aback and asked in surprise, "You didn't do anything to me in the dream, right?"

"Get lost!" Stella's beautiful eyes widened, and a blush suddenly appeared on her cheeks.

"Is there a proper way to talk to a superior like this?" Asher said impatiently. This woman is becoming more and more disrespectful by the day.

"Are we only friends as long as it's outside of work hours? We don't need to be so formal when spending time together," Stella rebutted.

"My Lord, look at the time. It's already three o'clock!" Asher reminded.

"What's the time you're concerned about? It's dining time now."

Asher couldn't help but sigh, women were just so unreasonable.

"Asher, I have noticed that you have changed and become different from before," Stella wrinkled her nose and said.

"What's different?" Asher asked, taken aback.

"Of course it's different now. Look at how innocent you used to be, like a young idol or a delicate pretty boy, while I am your exceptionally beautiful sister. Just look at how you are now, speaking so rudely and being so full of nonsense..." Stella snorted, ruthlessly criticizing her own CEO.

Asher was completely speechless. Not only was the person unreasonable, but they also shifted the blame back onto him!

"I have no choice either. It's like being influenced by the company you keep, like being close to red if you're near vermilion, or being close to darkness if you're near ink. Isn't it all learned from you?"

"I..." Stella fumed and forcefully kicked him under the table. Raising her tiny hand, she shoved the freshly peeled egg into his mouth, saying, "Shut up!"
