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

Chapter 1473

A question still lingered at the back of my mind. Disturbed, I wondered, Why on earth would Ashton lie to me?”

Was it because Ashton already knew that I was Scarlett and wanted to distract me from the truth?

John read the uneasiness on my face and remarked somewhat impatiently, “There’s no need to overthink things. I simply don’t understand how you’re willing to overlook the maniacal things that the Hall family has done on Ashton’s account. If I had known, I’d have ruined them on the stock market instead.”

“What makes you think I will?” I shot back, meeting John’s gaze steadily. “What right does someone who harmed me have to raise my children?”

“The one who harmed me was the Hall family, not Ashton. Why would you hurt him?” I asked quizzically. Besides, Ashton was the father of my child. I didn’t want to see Gregory disconsolate.

John had a grave look on his face. “Don’t you know that Ashton is the Hall family’s front man right now? Do you think I would have given Gregory up if it hadn’t been for Ashton’s continued resistance?”
