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

I pushed Ashton’s hand away and was greeted with the sight of Shane sprawled across the floor. It was clear that he was in significant pain as he convulsed on the ground. “I’ll speak, I’ll speak! Take those things out!” he shrieked in pain.

Holden looked towards the two henchmen, and they quickly stripped Shane’s pants. The sudden removal of his clothes left him trembling as he was partially naked.

“Speak!” Holden ordered with a stoic expression.

“It was Abe; he ordered me to trail after Mr. Fuller. The goal was to transfer Moranta’s foreign trading rights under Mr. Fuller to Abe. On the day of the accident, I was the one who sabotaged Mr. Fuller’s car. It was a mistake on my behalf! I should not have acted that way! Yet, I had no choice! Abe would have killed me if I did not obey his commands!” Shane cried out; his body trembled as he spoke. He must not have expected Holden to act in such a perverse manner.

“So, the few hundred thousand that you’ve lost in the casino belonged to Abe?” Holden asked as his eyes narrowed.

Shane nodded fearfully; he was shaking like a leaf.

“When the incident occurred, did the police find out who the corpse belonged to?” I asked after a brief moment of hesitation.

“Why did Armond kill Abe? I know that they have had a complicated relationship ever since what happened in Venria. But even if Abe had acted out of line, Armond could not have killed him in such an indifferent manner. Furthermore, we are living in a society ruled by strict laws. Even if Armond had countless men working under his command, it is impossible for him to get away with this murder due to the scrutiny of the police force.
