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

“You are someone who has never been loved before. I understand if you don’t comprehend this. But since you believe you can put a price on everything in this world, I am willing to give you all my assets in return for you staying out of our marriage. It should be an easy choice for you, shouldn’t it?”

Nathaniel’s eyes widened as he exploded, “Do you not care if the Stovall and Fuller families are destroyed along with you?”

Raising the corner of my mouth, I turned to Ashton and looked at him fondly. “Despite being the daughter of the Stovall family, I cannot bring myself to abandon Ashton. Every moment I spend with him turns into sweet memories. If both families are ruined because of me, I’m willing to pay for my sins with my life. At the end of the day, the choice isn’t mine. Just go ahead and do what you want. I hope you would force me to my doom so that I wouldn’t even need to think about this anymore…”

As soon as I finished, I heard the sound of someone flicking his sleeves. When I turned around, all I could see was Nathaniel’s leaving silhouette.

With no time to celebrate with Ashton, I knelt down at once and gently slapped Joseph’s face. “Mr. Campbell, wake up! Joseph…”

Joseph didn’t respond to my calls. I had no choice but to drag him up and take him to a private hospital. Given the statuses of the Fuller and Stovall families in K City, I figured it wouldn’t be difficult to keep the matter from the police.

“Ashton, help me, quick! I’m not strong enough to get him up. If we delay any longer, Joseph won’t survive.” Putting Joseph’s arm around my shoulder, I tried my best to pull him up.
