In an instant, Ashburn became the target of public criticism, leaving him unable to explain.
Talking about the divination now was too unconvincing. He sighed helplessly. At this moment, he hoped that he had not received the inheritance so that he could not calculate Gina Willow's death and would not let himself fall into this embarrassing situation.
"Ashburn, you're not taking any benefits from Trocy Willow and deliberately wilful obstructing us, are you?" Hyman said suddenly with eyes sharp.
Ashburn immediately raised and shook his head.
He knew the seriousness of this accusation.
Although the Willow family was not a business family, Mr. Willow Sr. still accumulated some family property during his lifetime, mainly doing municipal and greening projects.
After he passed away, Hyman and Trocy separated the property. As the eldest son, Hyman was supposed to get more of the family property according to the rules. However, because his wife gave birth to two daughters, Mrs. Willow Sr. favored sons over daughters. Considering that the family property might fall into the hands of a foreigner, he gave a lot of resources to Trocy Willow.
Trocy had a son named Lucas Willow, who was also the eldest grandson of the Willow family. Mrs. Willow Sr. spoiled him so much, and Lucas was very ambitious and wanted to take away a piece of cake from Hyman.
Therefore, the brothers Hyman and Trocy had always been brothers on the surface, but there was also an undercurrent of contest.
"Dad, how could I do such a thing?"
"Then tell me, why did you do these?" Hyman’s eyes were red, staring at Ashburn closely, like a crazy beast.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told the truth. I had a premonition that something would happen to Gina, so I took her home from the airport."
Hyman sneered, "Do you think this reason is convincing?"
Hebe had a look of disgust on her face, "Hyman, don't talk so much to this trash. He was just an ungrateful wolf. He must have been bribed by Trocy. Let him go and never step into our family. We don’t need a freeloading but treacherous thief!"
What Ashburn lacked now was not an explanation, but trust. No one in this family would trust him.
In the past two years, he had been working like a slave, but he still felt like an outsider. To be honest, he was tired of all of these.
Without saying a word, he took off his bib, put it on the table, and turned around.
Hebe sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, ate sunflower seeds, and continued to chatter, "I didn't like this trash from the beginning, Gina, you should leave him as soon as possible. With your conditions, you are not afraid of finding a better one."
Hyman sighed, "Ma decided on this marriage in the first place, they can't divorce!"
"I don't know what the Ma was thinking. I mean that Ashburn has no background and no ability, so she just let him marry our good girl Gina. What a cold-blooded woman!"
"Okay, now let's think about the Canary date palms. Gina, please see if any of our suppliers have Canary date palms. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Gina, I'm talking to you. Did you hear that?"
Gina was staring at the TV in stunned silence.
The TV was broadcasting news about an air crash. Last night, a flight from Narada to Harbour City crashed because an Internet celebrity did something unspeakable with the captain in the cab and accidentally touched the instrument panel.
"What's wrong, Gina?" Hebe asked and realized that Gina was stiffened.
"Dad, Mom, this flight... is the one I was going to fly on last night..."Gina’s fair face became even paler.
Thinking about it, she felt scared. If Ashburn hadn't pulled her away at that time, then... a chill would run up her spine, and her whole body would have been drenched in cold sweat.
Hyman and Hebe were also attracted by the news and looked at each other.
"Gina, did you remember correctly? Is this your flight?" Hebe rolled her eyes suspiciously.
Gina swallowed hard and said, "There weren't many flights to Harbour City last night. How could I remember wrongly?"
Soon, the company called and confirmed that Perry died in this aircraft accident last night and now needed to discuss pension matters.
Hebe was completely speechless. So, Ashburn saved Gina's life last night?
Hyman felt a little regretful about his harsh words to Ashburn just now. Compared with his daughter's life, business matters were nothing.

Ashburn was driving an electromobile towards the Old Town when he suddenly received a call from Gina.
He parked on the side of the road, took out his mobile phone, and still sat on the seat.
"Ummm... Ashburn, have you seen the news?"
"What news?" Ashburn was confused.
"Last night...my flight had an accident, and Perry... died."
Although Ashburn predicted Gina's death through the two words Physiognomy Character Scriptures and Fate Character Scriptures, he could not predict the plane crash, otherwise, he should have intercepted Perry as well.
At that time, his thoughts were all about Gina, and he didn't pay attention to Perry at all.
"Ashburn, I... I have to apologize on behalf of my father. He misunderstood you. Just now... he spoke a little harshly." Gina Willow never lowered her head to Ashburn. It was she who wanted to apologize to Ashburn. But she couldn't do it because of her pride, so she could only use her father's name.
"Why couldn't he tell me this?"
Gina was anxious, "Ashburn, don't push your luck. You are a junior...do you want him to apologize to you in person?"
"Gina, I don't owe you anything to the Willow family anymore."
It could be heard that Ashburn's tone was a little tired. Gina Willow was slightly startled and asked, "Ashburn, what do you mean by this?"
He was never a person without dignity. In the past two years, the reason why he had been submissive to the Willow family was simply because the Willow family paid off the debt owed by his father to their family. But he saved Gina's life last night, so he could repay his debt to the Willow family, right?
After a moment of silence, Ashburn finally said, "Let's get a divorce."
Gina, who was about to rush to the company to deal with Perry's death benefits issue, seemed to be struck by lightning and she quickly stopped the car by the side of the road.
He wanted to divorce her?
Gina almost thought she had auditory hallucinations! Why should he divorce her first?
She was the person who wanted a divorce!!
At the same time, she also realized that Ashburn was different from before. He was no longer the cowardly loser. From curing Frederic's illness to exposing Marico's fake paintings on the spot, he could even predict the future and save her from death...all this shocked her heart.
But she was proud by nature, and only she could file for divorce. If Ashburn filed for divorce, it would be equivalent to her being dumped!
Marrying a live-in son-in-law had become a joke in her social circle. If she was dumped by the live-in son-in-law again, not only her but also the entire Willow family would be disgraced.
She would never allow this to happen!
"Ashburn, how dare you divorce me? If you want to divorce, I will divorce you!"
"Okay, just to say you divorced me." Ashburn was very calm, without any warmth in his tone, "I will save the reputation of your Willow family and tell the public that I was kicked out by you."
"I disagree!"
