When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1229

Ashton gazed at me and scowled unhappily.

I parted my lips, but I didn’t know where to start.

It would be a bad idea to talk right now.

I wasn’t about to change my mind. Seeing my reaction, Ashton gave a self-deprecating laugh. “Ha!”

Shortly after, he schooled his expression carefully and commanded, “Move out of their way! Let her get what she wants!”

“Ashton, do you know what you’re doing?” John refused to take the risk. Without his approval, his subordinates didn’t budge at all.

“Joseph!” Ashton raised his hand. Upon receiving his order, Joseph left and soon returned with his men.

The men came in and scattered around John’s men. As Ashton’s men outnumbered John’s men, they soon parted to give us a way out.

It was nighttime by now. The night breeze sent a chill down my spine. When I looked up and met Ashton’s gaze, I promptly froze.

The bodyguard was smart enough to lead me through the crowd. John wanted to come after us, but Ashton stopped him in time.

After we walked out of the garden, I turned back to see Ashton struggling to stop John from coming after us.

The bodyguard soon brought me out of Stovall residence.

Right then, a black vehicle sped toward us and came to an abrupt stop in front of us.

The bodyguard removed the knife and ordered, “Get in the car, Ms. Stovall.”

Without much thought, I stepped forward and pulled the door open.

I thought we would be the only ones in the car, but there was someone else in there.

The person was dressed in a leather jacket and leather boots. Her entire outfit was black. If there wasn’t a ponytail hanging behind her head, I would’ve thought she was a man.

Sensing my gaze, she turned and flashed a strange smile. “Ms. Stovall, finally we meet.”
