In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 321

I took a few bites of the delicious food. “Won’t you have some?” I offered.

He harrumphed and took a seat across from me. After getting a new set of utensils from the server, he started eating. “Are you seriously not afraid of him?”

I placed my spoon down and sipped on my tea. “Will you give him a chance to hurt me?” I returned.

Stunned, he broke into laughter. “Scarlett, why would you think I’ll protect you?”

“You’re the one who called the police. Why would he take revenge on me?” Hmm, it’s upsetting not being able to finish the food.

He was rendered speechless. “You were involved, too!”

“Am I the mastermind?”

John shook his head.

Shrugging nonchalantly, I replied, “Well, that has nothing to do with me then.”

I stopped eating after a while. “It’s getting late. I should go home now. Let me know when the results are out.”

“Tsk,” came his exasperated reply. “Why? Are you asking me to clean up the mess after you?”

I met his gaze. “What else do you expect?”

He faked a smile. “I see. Turns out women indeed hold grudges and remain mad longer than men do. Scarlett, I can’t believe you’re this petty.”

I didn’t bother to refute his words. Rising to my feet, I prepared to leave.

John followed me out of the restaurant. “Won’t you tell Ashton about Savini?”

I shook my head while fishing for the car keys in my bag. “No need. It’s already settled. Find a way to dig Cameron’s dirt from Savini as soon as possible.”

My original plan was to drag Cameron down slowly, but that obviously wouldn’t work anymore.

Both me and Macy had been implicated in Jared and Ashton’s affairs. I didn’t even know how Macy was coping with things, so I wanted to end this swiftly and investigate the relationship between Macy and Jared thoroughly.

John nodded and folded his arms. “That’s easy. But you’ve set up an elaborate trap. Isn’t it disappointing to discard it just like that?”

Disappointing?
