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

Ashton had never stopped expanding the corporation ever since he was appointed the person in charge of Starlight Group. He had acquired OrbitTech and merged it with Quinn Corporation after receiving funds from globally renowned angel capitalists. If he has been aware of the truth all this while, why did he get married to me? If it weren’t because of his grandfather’s offer to have him inherit the company, would he have chosen to marry me?

After a long while, John showed up at the entrance. He stood there for some time in silence before making his way over. He took a seat by my side and asked gently, “Are you feeling okay?”

I couldn’t bring myself to form a complete sentence, too shocked by the new piece of news I had just received.

Nonetheless, John was conscious of the things I had in mind. He caressed my hand and assured me gently, “Please don’t take the words I said just now seriously. I didn’t mean it. As long as I’m around, the Stovall family will always be your strongest backings. Just stay with us and allow us to keep you safe. No one will try to pick on us.”

I took a deep breath, calming myself down before I looked at John and gasped out my reply, “I wish to talk to Ashton in person.”

“That will not be possible.” John made himself clear he would not give in to my request. “You’re not supposed to return to him because he’s not the only one I’m wary of! He has offended the mafia, and I will never allow you and Summer to be exposed to such uncertainties!”

John’s right. They had the audacity to come after us in M Country when Ashton’s plan to acquire his revenge had yet to be revealed, let alone when the plan blows up.

thing I care about the most is Ashton’s feelings. Since John said Ashton held a grudge against those who had brought upon his parents’ demise, I wonder if he hates me as well… My heart skipped a beat as all my concerns came flooding out at once.
