In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 332

I nodded, confidently staring him down. “You have every reason to do so!”

His eyes narrowed into a livid glare. “If you believed what she said, then why didn’t you stab me instead?”

“You weren’t there at that time—but she was!” I spat the words boldly, challenging his indifferent stare with my own fearless one.

“Huh!” He snorted.

It was sudden and cold. He dropped my hand immediately, looking at me with a grey face of disappointment. “Have you ever trusted me? No wait, I should ask you if you even love me, Scarlett?”

Glancing at him, the thoughts ruffled in my head. Have I ever loved him? I didn’t know anymore. I couldn’t tell if what I felt for him was even love.

He stared at me for the longest time. There was some kind of deep and intense emotion lingering in his eyes as he waited for my answer.

Then, he snorted softly at himself as if he already knew my answer. He stood and said coldly to me, “You should head back. Before Rebecca gets out of surgery, it’s best that you stay home and not go out recklessly. The Moore family can’t do anything to you for the time being, not while I’m around. So just go home.”

I said coldly, “It’s alright. I’ll take responsibility for my own actions, so whatever punishment the Moore family decides is between me and them. It doesn’t concern you at all.”

He watched me without speaking. The indifference in his darkened eyes was enough to suffocate everyone around us.

Not long after, Cameron and Zachary dashed in. Anxiety overwhelmed Cameron’s bulging red eyes.

When they saw Ashton, they rushed over and frantically asked, “How is Rebecca? Is she okay?”

Ashton spoke with a deep solemn voice, “She’s still in the ER.”

With a steady composure, Zachary asked Ashton for the name of the perpetrator that hurt Rebecca.

Though calm, a murderous air radiated from Zachary. It made the hairs on my fingers stand straighter. Despite this, I approached the man and announced, “I did it!”

Zachary looked at me with a pair of narrowed, bloodthirsty eyes. A murderous growl sounded as he threatened me, “Ms. Stovall. You’d better pray that Rebecca is fine, else I’ll have your life to make up for hers.”

After hearing my confession, Cameron jumped at me with lethal claw-like fingers. Ashton rushed before me, blocking her attack. He warned them, “Best save the confrontation until after your daughter awakes, Ms. Anderson. If Scarlett has committed a crime, the law will punish her justly. There’s no need for the two of you to rush her punishment.”

Still seething with anger, Cameron glared viciously at me.

Then, the ER doors suddenly opened. A nurse appeared and called out, “Where are the patient’s family members? She needs a blood transfusion. We’ll need to run some tests on you, in case our blood bank doesn’t have enough of her blood type.”
