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?”

“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?”
