When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1014

Chapter 1014 Torture

Ashton frowned at my question before giving in and nodded. He led me to a table and ordered some live food.

When the food was served, I looked at the fish and crabs on the table and turned to the waiter. “Can you get me a sharp knife and a spoon?"

The waiter looked at me with an odd expression and nodded before giving me what I wanted. I made sure the crab stayed in place before tearing off its legs and shell. Using the knife and spoon, I dug out the flesh bit by bit. The flesh of hairy crabs wasn't that delicious, but it tasted alright.

To enjoy dissecting living creatures was rather extreme. However, Ashton didn't stop me from torturing the sea creatures. Instead, he just watched as I continued eating my meal.

After a while, I grew tired and placed my cutlery down. I looked at Ashton and said, “Back then, I've always thought of sending the people I hate to prison to make them suffer for their sins. Now that I think about it, sending them to prison isn't enough." Ashton looked at me and asked after a while. “What do you want to do?”

I pursed my lips. “Do you still have him locked up?”

“Yes.” The man nodded, and I was truly delighted when I heard his answer.

Smiling faintly, I said, “Ashton, you'll let me do as I please, right?”

He pursed his lips and kept quiet while I smiled and didn't ask him again.

Then, he got up and said. “Come. Let's meet that person.”

Ashton drove me back to the villa in the suburbs. After he stopped the car, Joseph came out from the villa and looked at me with guilt written over his face. “Mrs. Fuller, how are you feeling?”

I smiled faintly and nodded. “I'm feeling great. Is he inside?”

Joseph hummed a reply before leading me and Ashton into the villa.

Dillan wasn't a big shot. He only got rich because of his family assets as his family ran coal mines. Later on, his sister married a civil servant. That person was Derek. All these years, he used money to gain his status and power, and since things like this weren't uncommon, so everyone got used to it.

Derek invested a sizable amount of money into building his status, so he got promoted and had a rather high income. While Dillan, a good-for-nothing, could only rely on Derek to live a high life in A City. Just because the man had money, he could carry out his absurd hobby and humiliated many girls.

The man was tied to a chair with his head hung low and his face was beaten to a pulp as blood dripped onto the floor. I clicked my tongue and looked at him. “Dillan, what a coincidence!”

He lifted his head and looked at me. Squinting his eyes, he tried to focus his vision and saw' that it was me. Immediately after, he widened his eyes in surprise and pleaded, “I'm sorry. I didn't know you're Mr. Fullers wife. I'm really sorry. Please spare me, I didn't do it on purpose. If you let me go, I'll give you any amount you want. Please, I beg you."

I scoffed at his disgusting behavior. Looking at the grey sky outside, I smirked and looked at Joseph. “Mr. Campbell, is there an open swimming pool here?”

The man nodded and glanced at Ashton's sullen face. “There is. It's at the rear house.”

“That's great!" I spoke as I w'atched Dillan. “Since we don't see each other that often, let's play together.”

With that, I headed toward the rear house. Ashton glanced at me as if he knew what I was going to do. “Keep him alive.”
