When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1504

Ashton’s words were exactly what I was thinking. I glanced at him and got ready to watch the show.

Suddenly, a thought flashed across my mind. Could it be he’s venting his anger on the Hall family because of me?

I raised a brow and changed my posture of hugging Audrey to conceal my uneasiness.

Well… Nathaniel can only blame himself for having bad luck.

“Haha…” Nathaniel laughed humbly, as his eyes curled into crescents. “Ashton, stop making jokes about me. I know my capabilities, and Dad said you’re the best candidate to inherit his company. I’m well aware of my shortcoming, so I won’t think of getting what’s not mine.”

“But why did I hear that you’re the one in charge of the Hall family’s assets before me?” Ashton narrowed his eyes and a meaningful smile plastered on his face.

Their gaze met one another’s, and neither of them intended to back down.

Most people showed fear when they faced Ashton, and there were only a few for those who withstood the pressure. Plus, none of them were simple.

However, Ashton emerged victorious in scheming as he could make his opponent give themselves away after exchanging a few words.

The silent confrontation went on for half an hour before Nathaniel was defeated. He averted his gaze from Ashton casually and changed the topic. “Ashton, you should understand that we have little say in a lot of things.”

Before Ashton could give a response, Nathaniel decided to leave. He turned to Gregory and patted on his shoulder before saying, “Granatano experts in programming. I’ve sent some men there to collect information for your references and they would be delivered to me soon. When the time comes, I’ll ask someone to send it here.”

“Thank you, Uncle Nathaniel.” Gregory actually smiled at him while in the past, the child never smiled in front of the others, except to me and Audrey.

Seeing how he was amiable to Nathaniel, I figured they must’ve gotten along well in the past six years.

“It’s getting late. I have some matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you guys anymore. Goodbye.” With that, Nathaniel headed toward the exit slowly.
