When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1209

I realized that those from the Stovall family had a knack for pissing people off. Had Louis not gotten himself into politics twenty years ago, he probably would’ve ruined the lives of countless young women like John.

Louis waited until Ezra had left before asking worriedly, “What did Ezra talk to you about?”

“He wanted me to talk Ashton out of his plans for revenge.”

“Hmph, I knew he was up to no good!” Louis snorted disdainfully before instructing the servants nearby, “If Mr. Grant comes by again, I want you all to send him away on the spot!”

It was rare to see Louis lose his temper at anyone other than John, so I chuckled in amusement as I said, “Looks like your grudge against Ezra is a lot stronger than that of Ashton’s!”

Louis let out a huge sigh in response. “I was this close to nabbing Ezra and his men back then, but he managed to get away in the very last moment and has been living the high life here in K City ever since. Most of the businesses that he owns are in legal gray areas, so there wasn’t much I could do about them. Looks like bringing them to justice before my retirement is just wishful thinking now…”

Emery and I didn’t know much about the stuff that took place in the older generations, so we kept quiet as we didn’t know what to say.

After a brief moment of silence, Louis shifted his gaze towards Emery and asked, “You’re that girl from the Moore family, aren’t you? You’ve just gotten married to Hunter a while back, right?”

“Yes, that’s right,” Emery replied with a shy smile.

I couldn’t help but find it strange that an official of Louis’ caliber would be so close to someone like Hunter.

“Hmm… Not bad, you two go well together!” Louis nodded with a look of approval on his face as he continued, “Hunter is a great man and has huge potential, so make sure to offer him your full support as his wife!”

Does that mean Hunter is planning on getting into politics? Why hasn’t Emery ever told me about it?

Emery nodded awkwardly with a stiff smile on her face and kept quiet.

“You have an urgent call, Mr. Stovall,” Louis’ assistant said as he came running into the living room with a phone in his hand.
