When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1079

At that thought, anger curled in my chest.

“At the very least, Nora truly likes you. How can you possibly use her to threaten me? Armond, you’re shameless beyond imagination,” I snarled as I tried to look for my phone in the pocket.

He sneered, “Truly likes me? What’s the use of that? If she isn’t the one I want, what’s the point of her true feelings? She’s still useless. Am I right?”

I was sure that the man was insane. To him, everything he did not like, did not want, and did not care about, was nothing but a burden. He would never cherish those things.

Has Holden realized that something is off? At that thought, I was about to call my father with the phone in my pocket.

However, before I could, a hand stopped me. A wide, emotionless smile was on Armond’s face as he leaned close to me. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you. Isn’t the sandalwood box useless to you? Why are you stubbornly holding on to it instead of giving it to me?”

Retracting my hand as I clenched my jaw, I then moved away from him and sneered, “Will you let them go if I give you the sandalwood box?”

He raised a brow. “Of course. You know my aim is a simple one. Furthermore, I don’t really want to hurt them. Scarlett, no one is born a villain.”

As I stared at him, I knitted my brows. “All you need is Nora if you want to threaten me. Why did you invite Sasha’s parents here? They’re old people who are useless to you. Why do you have to torment them?”

He lowered his gaze. “I’m not using them to threaten you. It’s a mere coincidence that they’re here. Shane owes me too much, so I’ll have to invite his parents over so that he’ll pay up soon.”

I pursed my lips. “Why don’t you just kill him?” He’s destroying someone’s family, but he won’t even stop at that. Why can someone like him continue to live in this world?

He shrugged and said instead, “Give me the box. You know I really need the things in it. If you give it to me, you can take the people away.”

I muttered, “Let them come down here first. The box isn’t with me right now. Also, you know that even if I want to take Nora away, she won’t come with me.”
