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

Emma didn’t feel like arguing, deliberately turning her gaze to me, as though she could avoid him this way. “Don’t be fooled. Although the Queens’ older generation weren’t that refined or cultured, they had an eye for investment. Whatever they invested in would surge. Stocks, private equity funds, corporate bonds… They even have investments abroad. After so many years, they didn’t suffer any losses, and their assets even doubled!”

Bryson wasn’t some kind of rich idiot who had more money than sense. On the contrary, he seemed to have the Midas touch when it came to business and investments. Thinking of this, I turned to look at Bryson. Indeed, he had the look of an honest man. Right then, an inexplicable emotion rose in my chest.

He was an accurate example of how the idiom “never judge a book by its cover” came about, and it was the first time I felt this way about the same person twice.
