In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1750

Chapter 1750 Does It Matter

I shook my head with a smile. As I continued peeling the apple, I said casually, “If it was as easy as you say, you wouldn’t need to be so fearful of telling me the truth.”

Not one to be good with words, Joseph was stumped by my remark.

Anyway, I wasn’t in a hurry to force him into telling me the truth. After peeling the apple, I handed it over to him.

He took it and held it in his hand without the intention to eat it. Instead, he stared blankly into space, visibly shaken by my words.

“I’m not trying to accuse you of anything. I’m sure you have your reasons for keeping mum, and I understand that. Still, I hope you can empathize with me. As both a wife and a lady, I don’t want to and I can’t stay out of this matter. Tell Ashton that I will continue to muddy the waters until he can strike when the opportunity arises.”

“I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say, Mrs. Fuller.” Joseph furrowed his brows, his eyes filled with concern.

I almost forgot that he was unconscious when I announced that I would join in. I gave a faint smile and said, “It’s simple. As of now, you’re no longer Ashton’s only right-hand man. I, as his wife, will be joining you guys in running the business.”

“Mr. Fuller won’t allow it,” Joseph expressed his doubts.

I put on an innocent look. “Does it matter? What counts is that Nathaniel didn’t object. If I’m right, your boss will not say no to any of Nathaniel’s requests now, am I right?”

Joseph stared at me, not knowing what to say. Perhaps he had wanted to dissuade me from doing it, but when he saw the look in my eyes, he could sense the change in me. In the end, he resigned himself to hold his tongue.
