In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 385

Is Sally the one behind all of this? If she is, then what’s her motive? What benefit does she gain from doing this?

“Stay at home and get some rest. Try not to think too much into this,” he comforted me with a soft voice.

Seeing as he was about to leave, I grabbed hold of him and glared at him. “Can you take me with you, Ashton? I don’t want to be alone here.”

He paused for a while and nodded. “Sure!”

Since Summer was away with Jackson, there wasn’t anyone else at home. If I were to stay in the house alone, I would be too anxious to sleep at night.

As it was New Year’s Eve, there were fewer people on the streets. After driving out of the urban areas, Ashton stopped the car in front of an abandoned factory and helped me down from the car.

We were immediately greeted by two men in black suits who were standing guard outside the factory. They bowed to Ashton respectfully. “Mr. Fuller!”

“Yes,” Ashton responded tersely and dragged me into the factory. He seemed rather callous and detached.

Upon seeing the man with the sunglasses again, my body began to shiver. Ashton hurriedly embraced me and said in a deep tone, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here!”

He then signaled Joseph to bring out two chairs. After helping me onto the chair, he crouched down beside me and held my hand.

“Close your eyes if you’re scared, okay?” His voice sounded warm and gentle.

I then nodded in response.

Glancing menacingly at Hudson, he stood up and toned his voice down a few levels before threatening him, “Speak up now! Or I’ll make you.”

Hudson’s face was already badly disfigured from the beating. It seemed like he had gone through quite the torture before we even got here.

“What more can you do to me?” he sneered.

Ashton pursed his lips and had a minatory look on his face as he violently kicked Hudson in the face. The kick left Hudson lying on the ground, with blood coming out of his mouth.

Ashton gave him a cold stare. “So, you feel like talking now? Or do you want me to continue?”

Hudson was laughing as he groveled on the ground. He really didn’t seem to care about his life. “Kill me if you have the guts.”

Infuriated, Joseph sent another kick towards his stomach. “Let’s see how long you can keep this up.”

Ashton gazed at Hudson, who was beaten half to death, with revulsion in his eyes. After a while, he finally signaled Joseph to stop the beating.
