In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1160

Shon would have contacted the party who wished to make contact after he left; it would ring very soon. I was curious as to who had understood my situation so well that they would risk incurring Ashton’s displeasure to help me.

I didn’t have long to wait. A light on the satellite phone flashed fifteen minutes later and I pounced on it in a haste to answer the call.

“Hello? Who is this?”

“Scarlett? It’s that you? Phew, I thought Ashton would have found out.” The sound of Emery’s voice flooded me with relief. I held up my forehead and looked into the mirror. All of a sudden, I was struck by the realization that Shon was Emery’s driver.

Ashton had purposefully engaged a new team of bodyguards to ensure that nobody had dared to create issues. Emery put two and two together when she realized that I was unreachable and when Summer was sent to her home. She pulled some strings and sent one of her own men to place me in contact with her. Emery was a tech enthusiast and had no trouble procuring a satellite phone. She was the most fearless person I have ever met.

“Is Summer alright?” I asked, anxious at the idea that Summer thought I had abandoned her. Emery disproved my theory quickly. “She loves it here. She has been having lollies and following Xavier around. There is hardly any adult supervision required.”

I…

The lollies will ruin her teeth! Ms. Moore is spoiling her to the tee!

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the time to discuss such trivial matters. I needed information on the outside. To save time, I briefly told Emery about Marcus and practically begged her for her help. “Emery, I know that you dislike Cameron and Marcus, but you really need to help me…”

Before I finished my plea, Emery cut across me. “Say no more. I will relay your message to them and hopefully, they will use the influence of the Moore family to keep the shareholders in line when you and Marcus are absent.”
