When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1044

Chapter 1044 Go With The Flow

John's lips curled in distaste. “It seems like you're not aware, but I, John Stovall, always do whatever I like. These are my final words to you. Don't ever appear before me. If I see you coming to the Stovall residence or my company again, don't expect to get away unscathed. I can get really creative when it comes to tormenting people, so you better do as I say.”

Tears rolled down Yvonne's cheeks as she stared at John pitifully. “John, I don't know what I did wrong, but don't force me to leave. Just tell me what I did wrong and I'll immediately change. As long as you don't make me leave, I'll do whatever you ask me to do!"

Irritated by her persistence, John sneered, “Are you sure you'll do whatever I ask you to do?”

Yvonne nodded profusely. “Yes! As long as you don't force me to leave!"

“Then just die,” John ordered, behaving like a ruffian. He was never one to think before speaking. Hence, he had said that to her on a whim.

Thinking he was being serious, Yvonne peered at him expectantly. “Does this mean I can stay by your side as long I die?” She looked like she was actually taking his words seriously.

John nodded and cocked a brow. “Yes. Go on, then.”

With that, he looked past her at Ashton and me. “Let's go. I'm starving.”

Before we could respond, a loud noise came from the pond outside Stovall Corporation, and following that, we saw the water inside splash a few' meters high.

I realized w'ith a start that it was Yvonne. Whipping my head toward John, I exclaimed. “I think she jumped in!”

John glanced back fleetingly but remained aloof as he replied blandly, “Mm, I guess so. C'mon, let's go for lunch now'.”

Then, he walked out without a care in the world. Ashton didn't even bat an eyelash. Meanwhile, I was flabbergasted.

Similar to me, the security guards outside and the front desk personnel w'ere taken aback. Looking dumbly at the pond, one of them cautiously asked, “Mr. Stovall, how' should we deal w'ith this?"

John's brows knitted together in annoyance. “Deal w'ith it as you see fit, of course. Send her to the hospital if she doesn't die and if she does, call the funeral home to take her away. Make sure to make it a grand funeral. I think she'd like that very much.”

Without faltering in his steps, he directly got into my car.

The security guards and I w'ere wearing similarly stunned expressions.

But none of us protested. Instead, we looked toward the pond to see Yvonne struggling pathetically in the water. The weather w'as so cold and I couldn't imagine how' she brought herself to jump into the pond like that. In short, I just couldn't wrap my mind around the w'hole thing.

It must be freezing in there!

In the car, I couldn't stop myself from glancing at John. “You—”

He suddenly looked at me and cut me off, “Uncle Louis arranged a blind date for me. It's this afternoon. Help me assess her later. If she's suitable, I'll get someone to prepare for the wedding."

I w'as taken aback and stared at him blankly for a while. After recovering from my surprise, I asked, “You're going on a blind date later?” He nodded curtly. “It's a friend of Uncle Louis'. She's almost the same age as you. Married and divorced. No kids. Uncle Louis asked me to meet her.”

I w'as utterly floored by this revelation and scowled at him. “Why the hell are you bringing us along for your blind date?” I really thought that he genuinely wanted to buy us lunch, but it turned out that he was taking Ashton and me along to be his third w'heel.

He shrugged nonchalantly. “You know I'm not into all these things. Besides. I'm a bad judge of character, so I need your help. If you think she makes the cut, I'll prepare for the wedding. Anyway, we're of equal social standings, that's for sure."

I felt like he had completely given up on satisfying his emotional needs. All he wanted right then w'as to find someone suitable to be his w'ife in name.
