In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 856

Ashton still seemed reluctant to let me interfere with the situation at hand. After a pause, I nodded and kept quiet, letting him hug me for a while longer.

Sadly, he couldn’t stay for very long, and he soon left to call a meeting of directors while I searched for Joseph. I was able to find him quickly. Cutting to the chase, I asked, “Can I take a look at the spot where Sasha jumped off the building?”

Slightly stunned, he nodded in agreement after a while.

The company building had more than a hundred floors. Sasha had chosen the fortieth floor, approximately twenty meters above the ground. There was no way she could have survived a fall from that height.

I swept my gaze over the scene of the crime before I gave Joseph a sidelong glance. “What did the police say?”

“They found broken pieces of metal railing as well as shards of glass where she fell. Preliminary findings point to an accidental fall, but they’re still in the midst of conducting an autopsy. We’ll need to wait for the full autopsy report before we can make the final conclusion.” Even in the face of such a horrible incident, he still managed to remain calm and collected.

I nodded, not saying anything further. I didn’t want to jump to conclusions before the results of the autopsy came out.

After leaving the company, I called Cameron to tell her that I wouldn’t be able to take Summer to the hospital. Too many things were happening at once at Fuller Corporation, and I didn’t have the time to include Summer in my daily schedule for now. Cameron reassured me that Summer’s fever had gone down and that she was doing alright.

Back at the villa, I phoned Nora and asked her about Abe.

She proceeded to rant on and on for what felt like hours, but my ears pricked up at a certain piece of information. “Wait, Danny was the one who contacted you first?” I interrupted her. “Did you meet him?”

“Nope!” she replied. “He just called me up, telling me to remind you to be more careful, and said that Abe is targeting you and Ashton specifically.”

After a brief moment of hesitation, I decided to tell her about everything that had been happening recently.

“Has Abe’s reach really expanded that far?” she gasped in shock. “Oh! By the way, Armond recently returned to K City. If you find yourself in trouble, you can contact him at any time. He might be able to help.”

I assumed that she was only offering so in order to be polite. As such, I made some noncommittal sound of affirmation and hung up on her, remembering what I had promised Armond last time. I had yet to return the item to him and had been thinking about taking some time out of my schedule specifically to do so.
