Chapter 272

I acknowledged his words with a nod and said, “The cunning man started hurting himself once he noticed that the cops were near.”

“Did he know you before this?” I furrowed my brows when I heard his question because he had brought up the topic I wished to avoid the most.

A few seconds later, I told him the truth, “Rebecca used to send him to abduct me.”

“When?”

“It was during the period when I had just taken over AC Credit and HiTech…”

Ashton frowned once again. He rebuked my statement with a determined look, “It’s impossible… Rebecca couldn’t be the one behind it…”

I chuckled at his response, but I felt dejected deep down. “I know Rebecca still holds a special place in your heart…”.

Immediately, his face loomed with a gloomy expression as he stated, “It would be impossible for her to utilize Cameron’s subordinate because she had just reunited with them back then.”

“Ha! You’re right because I don’t think she’s capable of executing such a complicated scheme! To begin with, she was never a smart woman!” I had no intention of rebutting his statement.

“Scarlett!”

Initially, I thought he was there because he was worried about me. However, I seemed to have misperceived his intentions – he was there to interrogate me.

Nevertheless, the infuriated man showed no signs of leaving as he leaned against the chair while glaring at me in the eyes indifferently.

His presence had intimidated the nurse who had dropped by to change the bag of fluid. She wouldn’t stop shivering in fear because she thought she had done something wrong and offended Ashton.

After she got the bag of fluid changed, she heaved a sigh of relief and walked out of the ward with the used bag of fluid immediately.
