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

He looked at me, still chuckling slightly. “Yes. I know my sister jumped from the roof of Fuller Corporation. You seemed to think her life was only worth two hundred thousand. She may have been young and easy to cheat, but I’m not that innocent.”

As I looked at him, I started to feel terrified. “What exactly do you want from me?”

He looked around before saying, “Ashton seems to be very concerned about you. If I kidnapped you, he’ll probably be willing to pay a huge ransom.”

I was not the slightest bit curious at the words he said. On the contrary, I was rather surprised.

After I calmed down, I looked at his dreadful appearance and said, “Your sister killed herself. It had nothing to do with the Fuller Corporation. If it wasn’t because of her kid getting in trouble, then she may not have even gotten the two hundred thousand. If you dare lay a finger on me, you’ll only end up in jail.”

His chuckle was beginning to grate on my eardrums. “Don’t try to scare me. Do you think I have no idea about all those crimes you guys have done? You rich people think it’s enough to chase us off with money, but all your money was taken from people like us. You’re all just scammers.”

His spiel was not in the least bit logical. I frowned, knowing that he was probably already too far gone. The logical part of me was warning me not to mess with a crazy person.

Since I had been strolling without much thought, I hadn’t realized that there weren’t many people around me now. Outside of K City and A City, Ashton hadn’t organized any bodyguards for me. All I could do was try to get away on my own.

“I don’t care if you believe me or not. Your sister committed suicide. I’m sure you know much better than me because you and your parents had already ruined her life. She could no longer live her life like a regular young lady anymore. The three of you are the real reason behind her suicide.”
