In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 902

Seeing how he was looking at me while driving, I yelled, “Eyes on the road!”

After pausing for a bit, I continued, “You knew that Armond was going to set you up in Moranta. That was why you wanted to come back as soon as possible when you heard that he was heading there.”

The man nodded. “But I never expect him to take action so quickly.”

No wonder Armond was completely unbothered when he was making a bet with Abe in the casino. He knew the latter wasn’t his opponent. Thinking about Abe, I couldn’t help but ask, “Do you think that Abe’s really dead?”

The man pursed his lips. “According to the police report in Moranta, the corpse’s DNA matches with Abe’s.”

I was stunned by his words. “Armond actually killed Abe?”

It was way too sudden. I initially thought that Armond faked Abe’s death with a corpse to confuse us. However, I was too naïve. He actually killed his partner.

Ashton parked the car as soon as we reached the villa. Since we hadn’t been there for some time, Ashton hired a helper to clean the house. Right when we got off the car, the helper was done with the chores and was about to leave.

When she saw us, she looked at Ashton and reported, “Mr. Fuller, a tall and muscular man came and looked for a woman called Scarlett. He asked me to relay this message to you guys: Be careful.”

He’s looking for me?

I stopped the helper from leaving and asked her about the man’s features. After a series of questioning, I couldn’t think of a person I knew who matched her description, so I let her leave.

Then, I went to the living room and sat on the couch, thinking of the man the helper described earlier. Ashton looked at me and said, “Now that Abe’s subordinates know that he’s dead, they might be misguided by Armond and come looking for trouble. So from now on, you’ll have to report to me whenever you leave the house.”

I nodded, as I knew how dangerous it would be.

Suddenly, a man’s name came to my mind after I heard him mentioning Abe’s subordinates. My body trembled in shock as I sat upright and looked at Ashton. “I know who that man is now. He’s Danny, one of Abe’s subordinates. I helped him in Venria before. When he followed Abe back to the country, I gave him my contact number and address in case he needed my help. However, I forgot about this after I returned to K City.”
