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

“You’re wrong. I’m not asking for your help.” I was unfazed. “Ashton is in this state because of the Hall family. He’s the only one keeping your family afloat. If you want to lead a wealthy lifestyle, you should pray for his safety. Otherwise, you won’t remain a socialite for long even without me in the picture.”

You knew Ashton went through a lot just to avenge you lot, but you abetted the devil and destroyed his hard found happiness. People like you are puppets controlled by others. You’re so cold-blooded.
