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

Chapter 128

Joe is a smart guy. He wouldn‘t make such a huge sacrifice to get at Ashton. Still, without Ashton around, I had no idea as to what I should do... 

Macy gave me a pat on the shoulder when she saw how stressed I was. “There, don’t worry about it. You’re only twenty-six, so you couldn’t have known much about workplace politics and conspiracies to avoid them, Besides, I can tell there’s a lot more to this incident than it may seem.”

She‘s right! This whole thing happened while Ashton, Joe, and Jared weren‘t around! Now that I think about it, it does seem premeditated! Who could‘ve... Zachary! 

The look on my face turned cold the moment the man’s name came to mind.

Yes, it all makes sense! Zachary and Cameron are the only ones capable of helping Ashton if Fuller Corporation were to fall! It‘d be a piece of cake, considering the connections and the amount of money they have! After all, they just fecovered their daughter who was lost for over twenty years! It‘s only natural for them to do everything in their power to help her get what she wants! We all know Rebecca loves Ashton, but it‘s very unlikely for him to divorce me when I‘m pregnant with his child. With this incident, however, it‘ll be a whole different story! 

“What’s on your mind?” Macy snapped me out of my train of thoughts by tugging at my shirt sleeve.

“It’s a conspiracy!” Having lost all appetite, I put my cutlery down and looked her in the eye as I continued, “I think they’re actually targeting me instead of Ashton!”

“Hold up. I’m confused now. What are you talking about?”

I ignored her question as another conflicting thought popped into my head. But... If it really were Zachary and Cameron that did all this, why would they be involved in the accident along with Ashton and Rebecca? As much as they may love Rebecca, it wouldn‘t make sense for them to risk their lives like that!
