Chapter 250:
However, recognizing that Zeke possessed potentially crucial information, Ashton wondered if the man might be withholding some significant details.
After some deliberation, Ashton decided to spare Zeke, at least for the moment.
“I am willing to overlook today’s events, but you must ensure that this matter remains strictly confidential. The repercussions of any breach in discretion will be severe.” He continued, “Keep your phone on at all times and be prepared to follow any instructions p>
“I might give you.” Without waiting for Zeke’s reply, Ashton turned on his heel and exited the room.
Zeke, now drenched in sweat and trembling from the intensity of Ashton’s presence, sank to the floor in relief only after Ashton had left.
Overwhelmed by the encounter, Zeke struggled to understand why Jacoby had provoked such a formidable adversary.
After departing from Zeke’s apartment, Ashton embarked on a series of strategic preparations.
Aware of Jacoby’s plan to undermine the museum project once it neared completion, Ashton resolved to take preemptive action to catch his opponent off guard. Instead of making a public announcement, Ashton opted for a more discreet approach, meticulously laying his groundwork.
He instructed Charlie to issue a formal announcement under the CEO’s authority, inviting investors and partners from across Inewood to review the interim results of the museum project in just two days.
Considering that the project had only been underway for less than half a month, such an early inspection was highly unusual.
Although Charlie was puzzled by Ashton’s unusual request, he complied with the instructions without question.

The news of the upcoming inspection rapidly gained traction, thanks to the extensive media coverage and the interest it sparked across various sectors in Inewood. In the midst of the fierce competition between Skyline Group and Sup Group, Skyline Group’s unexpected move created a significant buzz.
The Campbell family, taken aback by the sudden announcement, recognized the gravity of the situation as it impacted their ongoing collaboration with Skyline Group.
As a result, Bruce, the head of the family, assigned his daughter, Rosalie, the task of inspecting the construction site a day in advance to ensure everything was in perfect order for the official inspection.
Shortly after, Ashton received a call from Rosalie, who requested his presence at the construction site. It seemed that Rosalie had grown so accustomed to Ashton’s involvement that she might not have realized how dependent she had become on his support.
Ashton accompanied Rosalie to the construction site, where the project’s progress awaited scrutiny.
Since the early development stages of the project, Ashton had been absent from the site due to his teaching commitments and other responsibilities.
