When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1173

There were two voice messages.

I tapped on the first one, and my heart stirred at a familiar voice – it was Marcus’. “Scar, is Ashton with you? If he… “

The message was cut off abruptly as if someone had interrupted it.

Without hesitating, I quickly tapped on the second one. I felt wrath boiling within me when I heard Holden’s provocative tone. “Well, aren’t I a courteous businessman? I showed you the proof even before we discuss business. But it depends on your sincerity whether you can listen to the rest. However, there is no need for you to worry. Even if the Taylor family masters all the communication base station’s locations, they will be smart enough not to compete with you. You have my words that White Corporation won’t be at any risk. So please make your decision well.”

If he were in front of me at that moment, I would surely have punched him. This man has no bottom line. He even uses others’ life as a bargaining chip.

Nonetheless, I admitted that Holden had made a brilliant move. Since Marcus had vanished for such a long time, the first thing he said was to ask for Ashton. This made me uncontrollably curious about it.

It took me a while to think, and I finally decided to respond with a voice message too. “So does the Taylor family always deal in such petty manner? You want to talk business, yet you only provide an incomplete voice message. Is this what you mean by courtesy?”

Holden’s reply came in no time. “Wow, I must admit your negotiating skill has clearly improved. You must have learned a lot from Ashton, I guess. Alright then, let me throw you another bone.”

Right after that came another message. This time it was the complete version of Marcus’ previous message.

“Scar, is Ashton with you? If he wants White Corporation, just give it to him! Remember that your safety is the first priority! Do not take any risk! And do not try to find me!”

Marcus spoke at such a hurried pace that I needed to listen to it twice. Only then was I sure he was actually asking me to be on guard against Ashton.

Still holding the phone in my hands, I shifted my gaze down towards the direction of Ashton. Looking at him socializing professionally among those men, I could not shake off the insecure emotions within me.
