In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 270

“Weren’t you the one who had called me over because you have something to tell me? I wasn’t going to rush over, but you insisted you had something urgent to tell me and said it was about a new mission from the Moore family!” After he explained himself, the middle-aged man looked in my direction and asked, “What’s going on?”

Felix rebuked with his eyes wide open, “No! I’ve never contacted you! I didn’t receive any mission from the Moore family either!”

They exchanged glances and knew something was wrong almost immediately.

The vicious duo looked at me while Felix confronted, “Are you the one behind this?”

I supported myself and leaned against the wall to bring myself up. After I took a breather, I nodded and announced, “Yes! Since we’re holding a grudge against one another, eventually, we’ll have to settle the scores, right?”

Mr. Tuffin couldn’t grasp the situation. He looked at Felix with a frown and asked, “Are you the one who has brought her over?”

Felix nodded with a horrified expression and told Mr. Tuffin, “Hurry up and let’s go!”

Leaning against the wall, I neglected the pain I felt and warned them, “It’s too late! Do you really think I’ll let any one of you go after the things you have put me through?”

Slap! The middle-aged man landed a hard slap on Felix’s face. He then got worked up and yelled, “You’re such a fool! Do you know who the hell she is? Of all the people you could get your hands on, why the heck does it have to be her? Didn’t you know that you’re playing with fire!”

“C’mon, Ashton is just a businessman! He can’t do anything against us apart from throwing us behind bars for a few days! What are you afraid of?” Felix wiped the blood from his lips and replied scornfully.

“You idiot! Don’t you know Louis had acknowledged her as his goddaughter when they were in K City? And it just so happened that Louis is attending an event with Clinton today?”

“W-What? S-She’s Louis’ goddaughter?”

After giving it a thought for a few seconds, Felix made up his mind and cast a wrathful gaze at me. “Let’s kill her!”

“Oh, you must be out of your f*ckin’ mind! What should we do about the surveillance system of the hotel, huh? Do you really think you can get away unscathed if she turns out dead when you were the one who had brought her into the room? Please tell me you’re not such a simple-minded fool!”

The middle-aged man was infuriated and could barely catch his breath. He added, “Louis has always been known for being extremely protective over his close ones! Meanwhile, Ashton is a cunning man that’s capable of pulling the strings to send you to hell! Do you really think Mr. Clinton can keep you safe? And to think that you’re the bastard who would drag me down along with you!”

Felix looked at me with his eyes narrowed to a slit. “Scarlett, I have never offended you! Why did you set me up? What are you coming after? Don’t you think you should tell me about the rationale behind your action since you have gotten the better of me?”

Leaning against the wall, I didn’t bother to conceal my bruises at all. Instead, I wanted to be as pathetic as possible. “I’m merely doing Stacey a favor while getting my revenge for the abduction that has occurred half a year ago. Coincidentally, I found out both of you are executing the orders from Zachary. I will never allow those from the Moore family to live a peaceful life! Therefore, I didn’t mind putting my life at stake to achieve my goal!”

“You’re crazy!” Felix was no longer the arrogant and proud man he was a few minutes ago.

Truth be told, I couldn’t figure out the reason he was released from the police station.
