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

Chapter 110 

The young woman asked Thomas, “Who is she, Mr. Lowe?”

“Do you know Mr. Fuller from Fuller Corporation? She’s his wife, Scarlett Stovall.”

“Wow, what a lucky woman! I heard Mr. Fuller is not only young but also…”

I could no longer hear what she said anymore as I had walked away. From her coquettish voice, I knew something was going on between the two of them.

HiTech had quite a several sites in J City, and I felt tired after visiting a few. I went through the list and decided to visit those that had more critical problems.

As soon as I arrived at the last site in the South District, I was dumbfounded by what I saw. Despite being in the suburbs, the South District was considered well developed. The only downside was it was too far away from the city center.

I remembered vetting the quotation for that particular site. Though the budget was high, the company had still generously approved the application.

Normally, an electronics factory would have more than one building. Yet, there was only one building on this site, and it looked dilapidated. The guard at the entrance came up to me and said, “This factory is closed. Please leave!”

I was taken aback and asked with a frown, “How come? How long has it be closed?”

He did not know who I was. Perhaps he was bored being alone, so he decided to explain to me, “Almost six months. Someone died here, and the management panicked. They decided to shut down the factory.”

“When did this happen?”
