In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1354

Marshall was obviously vexed at Ashton’s sudden exit. His face grew stern as he hurled a cup to the floor and sneered, “It’s great for youngsters to have dignity these days, but he’s going to be taught a lesson sooner or later for being this disrespectful.”

My lips curled into a thin smile as I glanced in his direction. “Well, that will have to depend on the man’s capability if he wants to teach Ashton a lesson.”

At least for now, you don’t look like you are the man.

Of course, I kept the last remark to myself. However, my downcast gaze was enough to express my derision.

Marshall snickered and said nothing further. A shrewd businessman like him would not risk offending his two benefactors on the same day.

Thora took the liberty to speak on behalf of Ashton. “Mr. Tiedemann, Ashton is not in the best mood today, but he means well. You’re the senior, please forgive him for his manners.”

“Hah…” I snorted and got up after taking my bag. “It seems that Ms. Ziegler still does not know Ashton well enough to make this statement. With his domineering demeanor, he would never bow down to others. You’re too naive to think that he would apologize.”

Emery took her coat to leave with me. She paused for a moment when she reached the door and headed back to the table with a wide grin. “Ms. Ziegler, don’t forget to foot the bill before you leave. Even though I’m quite close to Mr. Fuller, I still think it’s better for us to draw the line, no?”

Thora came from a noble family, and she had always enjoyed privileges in all of K City, except in the Ziegler family. Even though Emery was from the Moores, she was superseding Thora by using her identity as The Jade’s owner. Fuming with the obvious attempt to embarrass her, Thora and said through gritted teeth, “Don’t worry, Ms. Moore. I will ask the manager to put it all on my tab.”

“Thank you so much.” Satisfied with the response, Emery beamed with delight as we headed out of the room together.

I nudged at her and muttered, “Thanks for that.”

“For what?” She feigned ignorance.

“Drop the act. There are so many people in the room, yet you called Thora out to foot the bill. I know you’re retaliating against her for mocking me just now.” Emery was one who would always stand up for her friends.
