In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1644

In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1644

I averted my eyes before remembering about the spying Audrey upstairs.

That girl’s really brave, huh? A normal kid would start crying for their mother at the sight of a foreign black man in the house. Not only did she not cry, but she’s even spying from behind the baluster.

Carefully, I chanced a glance at where Audrey had been earlier, glad to see that it was empty.

She must have listened to me and gone back to my room.

John had raised Audrey abroad all along, and she was the apple of his eye, so she had a little stubborn streak of her own. Fortunately, she was still an obedient child when she was with the family.

“Okay, Stovall, Fuller. Let me tell you my plan!” Lucas was vastly different from Quince. First of all, he was much taller and cruder. Furthermore, he was rather enthusiastic and immersed in his own world. “You’ll be the ones in charge of opening the clubs, starting from K City to the rest of the country. You can leave the security details to us. The headquarters of Skull will be based in K City. As for the deal with the Chanaean police, we’ll go into more details later.”

“Stop,” Ashton interrupted Lucas’ train of thought. Immediately, the room fell silent.

Fortunately, it seemed like they had learned about Chanaea’s way of hosting guests before they came, so they were not angry about his interruption. Instead, Lucas beamed and gestured for him to speak as he patiently waited to hear him.

“The club isn’t planning to take over the country nor do we have any plans to collaborate with others,” Ashton said, dismissing Lucas’ entire plan.

However, Lucas thought Ashton was not done with his piece, for he continued to smile and wait for him to continue.

Once he was done, Ashton pressed his lips together and fell silent. He did not have any thoughts of trying to soften the revelation for the other man at all.

As seconds ticked away, the atmosphere turned tenser and tenser, and the smile on Lucas’ face faded away.

“Mr. Fuller, what do you mean? Do you think that our organization isn’t fit to do business with your daughter?” Quince questioned.

I knew it. I knew he was up to no good. I’m right all along! He’s waiting to stir things up all this time.
