In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1753

Chapter 1753 Joseph Vanishes

“Yes! Do it!” As I bantered with him, I sensed that something was amiss and wondered if he had just chosen to trust Ashton.

Having read my mind, Emma explained, “It was my decision. I thought it was worth betting on Ashton’s character, so I convinced John to stop stressing you out. Unexpectedly, you came back with this pleasant news. Now that we are certain Ashton is on our side, we are free to plan our next move.”

“Really?” I looked at her in surprise, and at once, all my worries disappeared.

Emma nodded to reassure me.

“Emma.” I was so moved that I was lost for words. I simply extended my hands and hugged her to show my appreciation.

Emma patted me on my shoulders and quickly let go of me. “There, there, it’s not the time to be sentimental. The Lyons family needs me now, so I’ll have to head over with John.”

I nodded in understanding but stopped her again after a second. “Would going to the office affect John’s injury?”

Emma replied with a smile, “It’s no big deal. He’s just going to meet some of the shareholders. Even though John and I have been married for a few years, he has not shown himself to everyone associated with the Lyons family. Now that my family is in trouble, and the elders refuse to listen to my explanation, I have no choice but to bring John to see them. After all, he is the only one they trust to rescue them.”

Suddenly, a sense of bitterness crept into me when I imagined how tough it had been for Emma over the years. She was a capable wife who had built a business empire worth billions together with John. And yet, she barely had any authority within her own family.

It was fortunate that I didn’t insist on John keeping himself warded. Or else, I would have added to Emma’s pile of problems.
