Chapter 39: Chapter 39
Everybody congrats Stefan and glad about his decision that he wants his brother to get the best opportunity in the business field.
"Stefan, you are commendable in business I am so proud that I am your brother, and even you are bothered regarding your younger brother's career and success that makes you humble," Jack said with a proud look.
"Jack is right Stefan, even I am feeling proud that I am your father, you have achieved in business only in a few years that too alone. That you father hasn't done in his career."
Daniel got emotional and his voice turned hoarse, Stefan wanted to console him, but he shows hand to stop him to interrupt him and continued, "The best thing about you is that you are thinking about the family first more than yourself, this is what a real Walter do, am I right elder brother?"
Daniel is always devoted to his brother and Andrew is also a considerate brother and of course a considerate head member of the family, although strict at a certain point but thinks about family first.
Andrew pats Daniel's shoulder gently.
"Daniel, it's a proud moment for everybody. Stefan, your idea is really good and I am very grateful to you that you are giving such a good opportunity to my son, Ronald, in your company. You are right, like this, he will learn to manage the business alone and make his own decisions."
"Big uncle doesn't be so polite, we are family and Ronald are also my brother even though cousin, I always treat him as my brother since childhood. If he will be successful in his career, I will be the happier one."
"Hmm, Ronald what is your decision about this matter, do you want to grab this opportunity and go to New York? Being your elder I will suggest you when it comes to business always seize the opportunity."
Andrew considers Ronald's decision. Now he doesn't want to force him for anything which will make him regret it in the future.
Ronald was joyous in his heart, Stefan not only solved his problem, in fact, his father, himself is asking him to go from here. Otherwise, it wasn't easy to go out for a holiday without a wife after getting married and answer his father.
"Of course, dad, I want to go to New York, I don't want to miss this wonderful opportunity to boost my career."
Ashley was watching the cheerful faces of the family and fuming in anger for a long, everybody was kept on praising Stefan for his grand success and his decision to send Ronald away from him.
Now, when Ronald accepted the offer with a big smile on his face, that was the last bit of Ashley's patience.
'No, I can't let this happen, I can't let Stefan and Sarah succeed in their malicious plan to split me and Ronald apart.'
Ashely thought deeply and then said, "Stefan, if working alone in New York City is such a good opportunity for someone's career they why don't you grab it yourself, after all, it's your company why do you want to give it to Ronald." Ashley hides her viciousness and said innocently.
Even though everybody was surprised by her retort, neither she congrats to Stefan nor she is looking gleeful for her husband, still, they understood her inner turmoil for getting separated from her newly wedded husband.
Stefan and Sarah are the only people who understood the inner bitterness of Ashley's heart, even though they are oblivious that Ashley has listened to their entire discussion.
"Ashley, because Stefan is already successful in his career and one of the topmost business owners of the city. He wants his younger brother to be successful. He actually loves his younger brother, that's why I want to give him this opportunity. Don't you want your husband to be a successful businessman and independent like his elders?"
Sarah turned the table towards Ashely, and she was taken aback by her words.
"No, I don't mean that. But I and Ronald are newly married, in fact, we didn't even spend quality time with each other."
Ashley again said emotionally and made a pitiful face, which made many people believe that she is right.
"So, what, Ashley, even Stefan, and Sarah are a newly married couple still Stefan was going for work. He changed his decision only for Ronald, your husband. You should be grateful that Ronald will reach the new height of success." Amy immediately retorts, which made Ashley frown.
"Ashley, dear, career opportunities won't knock on your door frequently, when you have one, just grab it. You are Ronald's life partner you both will be together lifelong you have to be his strength and support, be happy for him."
Julia made Ashley understand politely, but Ashley didn't buy her words, she frowned even more.
'They are a bunch of people who want to hindrance in my life with Ronald.' Ashely thought indignantly.
"Mom, I don't want to stop him, but I can also go along with him, I don't think it will be any problem."
Ashley finally played her trump card and smirk inwardly.
Julia didn't find Ashley wrong, she wanted to say yes but before her Ronald said earnestly, being panic inwardly, "Ashley, what will you do in New York? I mean, I will be busy with work all day and perhaps will not get quality time for you because of the newly established branch. After that, you will complain that I am neglecting you."
"No, I will not complain about anything." Ashley didn't waste even a single minute to retort.
"And if you do?" Ronald said with a frown.
Sarah looked at their faces and know that Ashley is adamant and she will do her all-possible act to get tag along with Ronald for the New York trip and then his problem will be the same.
"Ronald, Ashley is your wife she has all right to go with you. You must bring her with you."
Sarah said with a wide smile on her face and it made Ronald and Stefan shock, they are not getting why Sarah wants to thwart their plan. Ronald and Stefan looked at each other but more than them, Ashley was shocked; she can expect anybody's favor from this family, but not Sarah's.
'Something is fishy, Sarah is up to something.'
Ashley thought but before she could say anything Sarah again said, "Ronald, Ashley is a good wife, she will take care of you in New York and if she will be with you there then big aunt will be at ease, I mean a mother's heart which always ponders for their child will also be relaxed, what say mom?"
Sarah said calmly, looked at Amy, and raised her eyebrows.
"Is your wife gone lunatic, what is she talking about?"
Ronald mumbles in Stefan's ears, and he turned his face to give a sharp glare to him. Even though he glared at Ronald, he is also confused by Sarah's blabber.
