When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1234

My heart sank at his words.

The phone was a trap so I would lure Ashton to this castle!

“Marcus White!” I slammed the table in fury. Last night, he pretended to ignore me so I would end up calling Ashton.

What a scheming man.

I had a falling out with Ashton just because I was worried about him.

Marcus ate his breakfast coolly. However, his words made my skin crawl. “You and your son are here, while both his daughters are at home. Who will he pick?”

My mind went blank at once.

No matter who he picked, we would lose a loved one. Ashton could come up with a perfect plan, but we were in M Country, a foreign country out of his reach. If he were to come, he would fall right into their trap.

“Marcus, is it fun to destroy my family and torture me? Are you not going to stop until I become as unhappy as you?” I clenched my fists so firmly that the nails dug deep into my palm, but I couldn’t feel any pain.

If any of my family—including my children and Ashton—was harmed, I would live the rest of my life in guilt.

Immediately, Marcus’ expression fell. He didn’t refute my words and waited to see what I would say next.

As it concerned my loved one, I didn’t hold back. I stood up and uttered icily, “You can kill me. I won’t say anything as I owed you one!”

“When Camelia and Toby went missing, I defended you though Ashton remained cautious. You called me and said some vague stuff, but I risked my life to be a hostage to come to you. We have been through many obstacles together, so I’ve never doubted you.”
