In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 569

This was the so-called butterfly effect that would topple the company.

I trailed after Ashton into the bedroom. There, I quickly changed into proper attire.

Ashton jolted in shock when he noticed that I was prepared to leave the house. “I’ll head to the office to understand the situation. You should just stay at home,” he said with a smile.

I returned his smile with one of my own as I tilted my head back to meet his gaze. “While you are going to the office, I’m going to visit Rachel in the hospital. Although I don’t understand how the company works, I’m still going to try my best to help,” I replied in earnest.

Having heard my bold statement, Ashton’s brow crept up his forehead. “Since you don’t like staying home. Should I consider hiring you as my secretary?” he joked and bent down to kiss my cheek.

I scoffed in response. “Am I only fit to become your secretary?”

“You can be whatever you want!” Ashton chuckled aloud.

I picked up my purse and keys in preparation to leave the villa. After our conversation, we went our separate ways. Ashton left for the company whilst I headed to the hospital.

It took about half an hour to reach the hospital from the villa. When I arrived, I caught sight of Isabelle. She was just about to enter the hospital.

“Ms. Leek!” I called out loudly. Isabelle was much older than me. At the moment, I was unsure how to properly address her.

She did not hear me the first time. It took several tries before she finally turned around to the sound of my voice. “Ms. Stovall!” she said in slight shock when she caught sight of me.

I hurried to her side. “I’ve left Fuller Corporation for a long time. You shouldn’t address me as Ms. Stovall anymore! Why don’t you call me by my name?” I greeted her with a beam.

“I can’t seem to break my habit,” she replied good-naturedly.

I reached forward to press the elevator button. “Are you here to visit Rachel?” I asked her as I noticed that she looked rather downcast.

When Rachel was admitted into the hospital, I should have been more observant. However, Isabelle’s expression didn’t look like she was here for a simple visit.

“You are here to visit her?” Isabelle rebuked me with a stoic expression as she looked at me.

“So, was it you?” I asked after a brief moment of hesitation.

“Would you trust me if I denied?” Isabelle replied with a bitter smile.

Across the headlines, there was a clear picture of Isabelle pushing Rachel. Even their expressions were shown in plain sight as Isabelle raised her hand to strike Rachel. However, the footage was disrupted and did not record the conversation between them before the incident occurred.

I hesitated for a brief moment before answering her question. “I cannot judge your lies. Thus, I cannot find your reason for pushing her,” I told her in earnest.

She gave me a faint smile and shrugged slightly. “It is hard to explain such matters.”
