In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 49

I could not think of anything else in that situation and followed the policeman into an interrogation room. After answering a few questions, I could roughly grasp the issue.

Last night, someone found kyanine at Macy’s bar, and there was a large amount of it. However, it was odd that he did not report to the police when he found it. Instead, why did he report it a day after?

After the interrogation, I finally met Macy. Although she had been held for only a few hours, she looked especially haggard, bare-faced and with prominent dark eye circles.

Immediately, she reached for me and pleaded, “Scarlett, someone set me up! I’m sure it is Rebecca. Last night, she came to the bar with a man, and I thought she was only there for a drink. Who would expect her to set me up?”

Rebecca was at the bar with another man?

“Did you see how the man looked like?” Rebecca was only close to Ashton and Joe, so who else would she be with?

“He was tall and looked flamboyant. Oh, and when I went to Fuller Corporation to look for you the last time, someone called him Mr. Quinn.”

Joe?

Well, Rebecca did hate me. However, why did she have to do this to Macy?

“Why would they call the police today? If I were them, I would call the police last night.” There was something that did not match up.

Rubbing her eyes, Macy responded, “They want to torture me. When the police went there to investigate, they found the drugs in my closet.”

“Macy, are you hiding something from me?” Based on Rebecca’s character, she would definitely try to destroy Macy. Why did she only attack Macy but leave her bar alone?

Macy hesitated before she confessed, “Scarlett, I’ll tell you the truth, but you have to promise me not to get mad. Ashton bought over The Hour Bar. When you asked me to go to Q City, I have already sold the bar to him.”

Her sudden confession took me by surprise, and I fumbled to think of what to say. “Why would Ashton buy out your bar?” He was busy enough with Fuller Corporation. Why would he take over another business?

Shaking her head, Macy stammered, “I am not sure either. A month ago, he came to look for me and paid me double the bar’s worth. Then, he even registered it under Rebecca’s name. I wanted to tell you about it, but you were busy and not feeling well…”

It was a terrifying thought. What is the difference between buying the bar to transfer it to Rebecca’s name and Rebecca buying it herself?

Whatever she wanted, Ashton would willingly give to her. Unfortunately, getting the bar was not Rebecca’s ultimate goal.
