Chapter 345: Chapter 347: Is it inconvenient to say, or too embarrassing to say?

Although holding a senior executive position in Heath Group is quite an achievement, no matter how outstanding one is, they are still just a high-level worker for the company.

No matter how much power one gains, it does not truly belong to them.

Such a position didn’t pose much threat to him.

Which is why he dared to approach and say these things to Ashton Heath.

He knew that the welfare benefits and pay scales of Heath Group’s senior executives were very high, with salaries ranging from several million to hundreds of millions dollars.

It would be no problem to financially support a lover with that kind of money.

But for him, that amount of money was not a big deal.

The Benington Group makes more than a billion dollars in profits annually, and his income far exceeded that of Heath Group’s senior executives.

No matter how much money Ashton Heath gave to Joanna Lawrence, he could repay it.

Upon hearing David Benington’s words, Ashton Heath slightly raised his brows and smiled, " Mr. David, do you think the reason I am with Joanna is that I am attracted to her beauty and novelty?"

Even if David Benington didn’t think the senior executives of Heath Group could threaten him, he didn’t want to offend them either.

The Benington family and Heath Group still have collaborations.

It would not do him any good to offend others.

Facing Ashton Heath’s seemingly amused gaze, David Benington paused for a moment and then smiled, "Mr. Ashton, I spoke out of turn in my haste just now. I hope you won’t take offense. Actually, I have an unusual relationship with Joanna, which is why I made such a request."

Ashton Heath’s grip on the car door tightened, his eyes darkened, but he still spoke with a smile, "Oh? Mr. David, what do you mean by ’unusual relationship’?"

David’s eyes flickered with a hint of provocation as he said word by word, "She is my ex-lover, and we almost got married."

"We’ve known each other for ten years and understand each other best. That’s why I know that her being with you is not genuine. President Ashton, you have so many good qualities and must have no shortage of women. Is it worth keeping a woman who is not wholeheartedly yours by your side?"

"I assume President Ashton is a very proud person and doesn’t like to force others. To be honest, aside from being pretty, Joanna has no other advantages. She has a dull personality and is not pleasing, especially when it comes to intimacy. She’s awkward and clueless."

"President Ashton, if you want to find a compassionate guide, why bother spending money on a wooden-headed and charmless woman?"

As soon as David finished speaking, he felt that the air pressure around them had lowered.

Raising his eyes to meet Ashton Heath’s suddenly cold and sharp gaze, David froze, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"President Ashton, you..."

"Mr. David." Ashton Heath narrowed his eyes, emitting a dangerously cold light in their depths, his voice deep, "You just said you and Joanna have known each other for ten years, are very close, and almost got married?"

David hesitated, "...Yes."

"Heh." Ashton Heath let out a cold laugh, "So it seems that you two were quite close? Then, I want to ask why you broke up?"

David’s face changed, his eyes darted back and forth for a moment before he hesitantly spoke, "I’m sorry, but this is between her and me and is not appropriate to share with others."

Ashton Heath’s cold eyes bore into him, "Is it inconvenient to say, or you are just too embarrassed to say? Mr. David, on one hand, you have deep feelings for her sister, and on the other hand, you want to play the hero and save her from misery. Just how big is your heart, and how many people do you want to cram into it?"
