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

Chapter 166

Glaring at him with a frown, I soon retorted, “Excuse me, Mr. Quinn? I know that you’re trying to protect the love of your life, but shouldn’t you be getting to the bottom of this by finding the true culprit? Ms. Larson was the one who had assaulted me. I was merely trying to defend myself.”

As always, Rebecca put on a pitiable front as she started to weep in front of us. “Stop lying, Scarlett! You were the one who threatened me, telling me that I wouldn’t get to see Ash anymore! You pushed me because I refused to succumb to your absurd request!”

With his brows furrowed, Ashton stared at me as if he were frustrated. “That’s enough drama for today, I suppose. I have already dealt with the paperwork to get Macy hospitalized.”

He turned around and instructed Joe, “I don’t think that this is the best time to get worked up over such trivial matters. I want you to stay put in front of ER and get in touch with me if there’s anything wrong.”

Joe glared at me because he was infuriated. He grasped Rebecca and whispered as he passed by my side, “Scarlett, I’ll get even with you on this, just you wait!”

I glanced at the seemingly pitiable woman as she departed.

She was a lucky woman-loved by both Ashton and Joe, adored by Jared, and blessed with doting parents who wielded great influence. A woman like her could easily live a carefree life without getting married.

Ashton placed the documents that he had with him on the nightstand by the bed and asked, “What do you have in your mind?”

Since Macy had yet to regain consciousness, I took a seat on the couch as I suggested, “Why don’t you tend to the things that you’ve listed on your schedule? I mean, there’s nothing else we can do as of now.”

“Do you really think I’m supposed to leave at such a critical time?”

He was right-Jared was still in the ER.

Slouching against the couch, I was readying myself to take a nap as I was exhausted after having gone through several consecutive hours of yoga lessons. A few minutes later, Ashton received a call from Joe and figured out that Jared had been brought out
