Torn Between Love and Hate

Chapter 77 Hug Her

Deborah refused Ashton without looking back “No.”

Ashton was always like that. The more Deborah was unwilling to do something, the more he wanted

her to do it

If she agreed to work in the Mullen Group without hesitation, Ashton would be afraid of being cheated.

After all, there were many people who held evil intentions and thought of ways to sneak into the Mullen

Group every day

Seeing that Deborah refused to go. Ashton insisted even more “You don’t have to have any scruples. In

the company, you will be busy with your work. I have no time to bother you. You still need to go through

the normal entry formalities before joining the company. I won’t give you privilege ”

Deborah walked into the bedroom. Ashton immediately reached out and held the door to stop her from

closing the door. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After a stalemate for a while, Deborah reluctantly replied to him, “Whatever.”

Ashton took his hands off the door, and then Deborah slammed the door with a bang. He called Jeff

over

“Edit a copy of Deborah’s resume and send it to my email.”

Jeff stood beside Ashton. Anything related to the Mullen Group was not a trivial matter He couldn’t help

reminding, “Mrs. Mullen may have other ideas of joining Mullen Group. Please think twice, Mr. Mullen.”

Deborah hated Ashton. If she joined Mullen Group, she might cause trouble. Everyone could guess it.

Ashton said impatiently, “Just go and do it. I allowed her to join Mullen Group. She did not propose it

In addition, he knew Deborah’s temperament best.

She was soft-hearted, unambitious, and simple-minded.

After she joined Mullen Group, she would do her own work. In addition to this, she couldn’t make much

trouble.

Jeff wanted to say something else, but Ashton had already stood up and walked straight to the study.

As soon as Ashton entered the study, he received a call from Hector.

He answered the phone. Hector’s tone was not good. Hector asked straight to the point, “Jeff told me

that you decided to let Deborah join Mullen Group. Is that true?”

Ashton didn’t expect Hector would know this so soon. He was displeased. “Yes.”

Hector was angry. “Are you crazy?! Have you forgotten how Deborah plotted against you five years

ago? Now, she is your wife Deborah occupied the position of Mrs. Mullen of the Mullen family. If she

dares to bring trouble to Mullen Group again, I will be the

first to disagree!”

Ashton was polite to Héctor. After all, Hector was his only family in this world.

Ashton explained it to Hector, “Deborah doesn’t have that much skill. She has no right in Mullen Group.

After she joins the company, she will paint and do some design. Under my management, she can’t play

any tricks.”

Hector didn’t believe it. He said, “You have forgotten how she plotted against you five years ago.”

“What kind of good character can a mistress’ daughter have? You don’t need to bother to waste your

time to keep an eye on her in Mullen Group.”

Ashton’s voice was calm, but his attitude was firm “Grandpa, I will pay attention to her. There will be no

problems with Mullen Group. Don’t worry about it.”

Hector sighed and continued, “You are the head of Mullen Group. I am old. I don’t want to interfere in

your affairs.”

“But you must know one thing Your parents had passed away, and I’m old now. All matters of the group

depend on you.”

“There are plenty of people out there watching over you. If something happens and someone catches

you in the wrong place, the Mullen family’s century old heritage will be destroyed”

Ashton said in a deep voice, “Grandpa, I understand. I will be careful. The company will not have any

problems.”

Hector snorted “I hope so. Don’t just focus on your work. Remember to have dinner with me at Mullen

Manor when you are free. You rarely come here and see me.”

It meant that Hector allowed Deborah to join in Mullen Group.

Ashton’s frowned brows relaxed a little. He responded, “Okay. This weekend, I’ll bring Deborah to…”

“Don’t bring her here. I just want to see you,” Hector interrupted Ashton.

“Whether it’s Helen or Deborah, I don’t feel at ease when I look at each of them. Both of them have

their intentions. Don’t bring them to

annoy me.”

Ashton nodded. “Okay.”

Seeing Ashton’s good attitude today, Hector didn’t blame him anymore. Then, he hung up the phone.

Ashton sat at the desk and lit a cigarette.

He seldom got depressed because he didn’t even have that time to feel depressed.

His parents passed away ten years ago. As soon as the news spread, Mullen Group was in crisis

immediately.

Ashton brought his parents ashes back to the Mullen family. As soon as he joined Mullen Group, he

took charge of the company as the president. It was only in the past two years that he occasionally had

sound sleep.

Since Ashton’s parents died in an accident, they hadn’t even left the last word to him.

Many company secrets and information were still in the hands of many senior executives and directors

of the group.

Mullen Group was in the face of internal and external troubles. Everyone wanted to take advantage of

the chaos to get some benefits.

Ashton hurriedly returned from abroad. After Hector knew the news of his son’s death, he had no time

to adjust his grief. He went to Mullen Group to deal with countless sudden troubles.

At that time, Hector was in his sixties. He tried his best to clean up the mess of Mullen Group and dealt

with many troublemakers.

In that year, Ashton was only nineteen years old at that time. Before he could figure out how many

branches the Mullen Group had at home and abroad, Hector appointed him as the president of Mullen

Group.

Many senior executives and directors in the group looked down upon Ashton. They secretly played

tricks on him and waited to see

his jokes.

In those people’s eyes, Ashton was just a 19-year-old kid who didn’t even understand management,

But he became the president of such a large multinational group.

This thing liked a kids game. Everyone in the group laughed at Ashton in private.

Those senior executives and directors didn’t want to teach Ashton how to manage a company. They

even wished that he couldn’t do everything well. They wanted someone else to take over the position of

president of Mullen Group.

It was Hector who taught Ashton to manage the company day and night.

At that time, the funeral of Ashton’s parents was held in the front hall of Mullen Manor. Ashton and

Hector sat in the study and dealt with a large pile of documents.

Hector was mad because of these accidents. Ashton couldn’t help crying when he heard someone

crying in the front hall.

When he shed tears, Hector slapped him.

Hector scolded, “Your parents are dead! You are the only one in the Mullen family. From now on, you

are not a child anymore!”

Hector was right. Ashton got a firm position in Mullen Group. He was the respectful president of Mullen

Group. No one dared to offend him on the surface.

But many people kept making trouble secretly. They wanted Mullen Group to be deep in crisis.

Ashton came back to his senses. It was getting dark outside. He glanced at the watch. It was almost

five o’clock.

Somehow, he suddenly wanted to see Deborah.

Ashton thought, “It’s better to keep her at home. Whenever I want to see her, I can see her anytime.”

Ashton left the study and went to the bedroom.

The bedroom door was closed. Ashton thought Deborah was sleeping, so he opened the door softly.

When he opened the door, he saw Deborah standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and calling.

Ashton didn’t speak. He walked to Deborah quietly

The room was carpeted. There was no sound when people walked on it.

Deborah didn’t hear any sound. She continued to talk to Joseph, “Well, I will go to Mullen Group for an

interview tomorrow. You…”

Before she could finish speaking, Ashton suddenly hugged her from behind.

Ashton leaned over and pressed his face against her neck. “Who are you calling? You are so

engrossed.”

Deborah’s back tensed up suddenly. Ashton had already noticed the name on the screen.

His face darkened in an instant
