When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Chapter 848

I didn’t understand what he meant until I felt something hard in between his legs. My face flushed crimson and I struggled to get up but he stopped me. He took a long deep breath and asked in a hoarse voice, “Where are you going?”

I lowered my head and bit my lips. “I don’t want you to get distracted by me.”

He cocked his eyebrows. “You already did.”

I had no idea when I fall asleep. When I came to, I was already on the bed in the private restroom. I could hear Ashton and Joseph having a conversation.

 

Joseph said, “The situation this time is different from before. It seems like someone is intentionally adding fuel to the fire. They are trying to defame Fuller Corporation. Thanks to those media platforms as well as social media public accounts, rumors about Fuller Corporation have been spreading like wildfire on the internet recently. They’re even publicizing rumors about you and Mrs. Fuller.”

“Huh?” Ashton was surprised.

 

Joseph replied, “Rumor has it that you and Mrs. Fuller were in a marriage of convenience. That both of you married for material advantages, and not for love. Moreover, they even said both of you are cheating on each other. They’re saying that you have your lover and your own family and that Mrs. Fuller is having an affair with a married man and is living a messy love life.”
