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

Chapter 220

Alatus detrcd ilis voice turned ice-cold as he contined, “He’s gone crazy looking for Scarleu? Mhado ou take us for? Idiots?”

“Marc”* Sally said angrily, “Watch your tongue!”

“My tongue?” Marcus snorted. “The best way to hide a misdeed is not to commit it Go back and tell Ashton that Scarlett doesn’t need him. And tell him to stay away from her!”

Sally realized there was no way to communicate with Marcus, so she took my hand and said, “Leity, if for some reason you’re not willing to see Ashton, then come back with me. Don’t stay here. Marc is an unmarried man, while you are a married woman. This is K City. People talk. If you’re caught by someone with ill intentions, think of what it’ll do to the Fullers and the White family’s name!”

“Ho!” Marcus scoffed, “Family name? Oh, now you bring it up! Haven’t you done enough damage to the Fullers and the White family? What? Are you here to put the blame on us.”

Those words hit Sally like a hard slap on the face, rendering her speechless.

I was not in a good state of mind. I pushed Sally’s arms away and, unable to answer or add anything to their argument, I ran towards the residential entrance.

Sally called out to me from behind. She wanted to give chase, but Marcus stopped her. “That’s enough. Do you think the Fullers haven’t hurt her enough? Her baby died two months ago, on the night of Ashton and Rebecca’s engagement. He died from suffocation. Where were you all then? Where were all of you when she was locked in a warehouse, struggling to escape. Her baby’s dead. The Scarlett you know is dead too. Now, she wants nothing to do with the Fullers.” Marcus’ booming voice echoed in the night.

I froze in place when my eyes took in the figure standing in front of me. It was Ashton. Under the night sky, his eyes appeared red, while agony crossed his face.

Behind me came Marcus’ angry voice. “You go back and tell Ashton to stay far away from her, or I’ll beat him into a pulp each time I see him.”

Ashton had his eyes locked on me as he approached me, one step at a time. I could not move away. Once again, the searing pain in my heart caused my whole body to tremble.

“What happened to the baby?” He spoke, his voice lowered to the extremes. Indescribable emotions rose to the surface,
