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

I looked at him and waited for an answer.

He smiled and said, “Mr. Taylor has already passed both the Kingston area and foreign trade area of Moranta over to me. Abe has no way of staying in Venria anymore since the country has become too strict, so all he can do is escape into Moranta. Logically speaking, his father was friends with Mr. Taylor. Since he wanted to help his old friend, he sent me to deal with Abe but still ended up choosing me in the end.”

That was why Holden had seemed so unsure in the private room just now. He wasn’t completely sure whether he was on Ashton’s side yet. Instead, he was checking out Ashton’s abilities. If he hadn’t used my father as a trump card, Holden might not have ended up helping Ashton.

Before the contract was signed, what Holden said to Archie had been the deciding factor. Archie choosing Ashton over Abe was probably because Holden knew that the person who could help him the most after Archie’s death was his true ally.

Ashton alone wouldn’t have seemed so useful to Holden. However, if the Moore family was included, it was an automatic win. My father no longer joined in a lot of events, but he definitely still played a prestigious role in our society.

Ashton looked at me calmly. “Aren’t you mad that I used your father’s name in my case?”

I shook my head with a smile. “I’m happy as long as I can help. It’s one of the ways I can come to terms with having someone as talented as you.”

He smiled back and kissed me on the cheek. “Silly girl. You’re more talented than any woman could ever become. I’d choose you over anything and anyone.”

The man was simply flirting, but all of his words found their way into my heart.
