In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 59

Pin drop silence filled the room instantly.

Right then, all I felt was the burning sensation in my face.

After a while, I narrowed my eyes and looked at the woman in front of me. Her face was distorted with rage, as if she had a lot of pent-up anger.

Rebecca tugged at me and yelled, “Scarlett, you lied to me!”

Did I lie to her?

Was it about the baby?

Seeing that she raised her hand again, I immediately grabbed it and scorned in an icy tone, “Ms. Larson, don’t you have any self-respect? How can you be so impudent when you are a mistress? You’re really shameless!”

The sound of rushing footfalls came from the corridor before she could respond.

Abruptly, Rebecca shook my hand off. The sudden loss of balance caused her to fall and hit her head hard on the desk.

By the time Ashton and Joe hurried in, they saw Rebecca lying on the ground in a disheveled state with blood on her forehead.

Meanwhile, I remained intact and stood condescendingly in front of Rebecca.

D*mn it! What a waste of talent that she didn’t become an actress!

“Rebecca, are you all right?” Joe immediately helped her up and scolded me, “Scarlett, you’ve gone too far!”

Did I?

I could not be bothered with him and turned toward Ashton, whose face was expressionless at that moment. “I didn’t push her. Do you believe me?”

He then looked at the bloodstains on Rebecca’s forehead and warned me with a cold-eyed stare, “Scarlett, know your boundaries!”

Those few words stamped out my trust in him. As I stared at him in disbelief, I let out a chuckle. “I’m so naive!”

He had fooled me into believing he was the right one with his change in attitude for the past few days.

How ridiculous!

Suppressing my sorrow, I walked toward Rebecca and sneered in disdain. “Ms. Larson, you need to improve your acting skills! Have you seen anyone, not to mention a pregnant woman, capable of pushing someone so far away?”
