In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 235

I looked at Jared and forced a smile. “See? If you think this isn’t enough of a reason for me to hate him, I can tell you more. He’s like a brother to you, so I can understand why you feel the need to defend him, Dr. Crest. Perhaps to you, I merely lost a child, and no matter how you think about it, it just doesn’t seem like such a big deal. Well, I’m sorry to say this, but this is how I am. I must get my revenge at all costs. Not to mention, that child was my life!”

No one in this world could truly empathize with others. Some couldn’t even bring themselves to feel sympathy, and most would only stand on the sidelines to watch the show.

After leaving the hospital with Marcus, he sighed with a contemplative gaze. “John really went over the top this time. It’ll be difficult for you to do anything from now on. There’s no doubt that the Moore family will have their guard up.”

I nodded and released a tired sigh. John had directly played the video in the hospital so that Ashton would feel anguished upon watching it.

Whatever. Since things have already been put into motion, there is no reason to stop now.

As he started the car, I looked sideways at him and asked, “Did you take a photo of the child?”

My voice was calm, but his body visibly stiffened. He glanced back at me and said, “Didn’t you say you didn’t want to see it?”

My breath caught in my throat as I looked out of the window, struggling to breathe through the pain in my chest. “Mm, I don’t. Send it to John. Tell him to hack it into Rebecca’s phone discreetly. If possible, do it at midnight.”

He nodded and drove for a while before changing the subject. “Is there any news about the AI project?”

I nodded. “John is a computer expert. There’s a tech company in J City. Many of their researchers are geniuses, but they have poor management. We’re planning to make a trip there one of these days and find a way to acquire it.”

He raised his brows. “A company like that exists?”

“Yeah!”

“Alright, it seems like you don’t have to risk HiTech anymore.” He smiled faintly with a subtle tease in his tone.

My eyes dipped to my lap before looking at him again. “If it fails and I lose HiTech, I’ll have to live off you.”

He bellowed with laughter at that. “Sure!”

By the time I reached home, it was already past midnight. Fortunately, there were many rooms in the house. He found a random one to sleep in while I went to my bedroom. With so many things on my mind, it was yet another sleepless night.
