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

Tiffany seemed to have a clue after scrutinizing him for quite a while. The next second, she burst into laughter and yelled gleefully, “Hahaha! It must be retribution! Retribution indeed! See how he ends up paying the price for his heinous deed!”

As a member of a prominent family with higher social status, Nicholas had his nose in the air. He was very particular about the excellence of the Halls’ new generation in order to maintain the prestige of the family. Ever since he discovered that Ashton had a genetic defect, he straight away treated him as an inferior who would be a stain for the Halls. Somehow things had turned the other way round. The so-called descendants of the excellent genes had betrayed him by adding insult to injury. I wonder how he feels being betrayed by his outstanding children whom he had nurtured throughout all these years!

This was indeed the typical materialistic phenomenon as observed in most of the well-to-do families. Clinking glasses with each other jovially at the feasts did not really mean anything. It was common that whenever any of their family members encountered financial crisis or other issues, the others who were self-centered would choose to ignore them and even cut their ties with them so they would not be affected.
