When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1541

Regarding the matters of my flight, the schedule would be discussed on another day.

When I shifted my attention elsewhere, I realized that our casual conversation had garnered everyone else’s attention. A few of them even nodded solemnly in accordance with Cameron’s words. It seemed like they had taken this matter to heart.

Under their heavy scrutiny, my shoulders trembled with guilt. Yet, I chose not to elaborate any further.

Fortunately, the men had a short attention span. It didn’t take them long to shift the topic elsewhere. “How confident is everyone against Nathaniel?”

The question came from Louis. As John had brought up the topic regarding the oil painting materials, Louis took this matter very seriously. After all, he was a veteran officer with a strong background.

Hearing her words, Louis burst out in laughter. “Speak of the devil.”

“Why is he here? Is he looking to beg for forgiveness on behalf of Nicolas and his wife?” Emery guessed.

“He can try if he has the guts to do so,” John scowled and said in an angry tone.

“Come in,” Ashton called out calmly.

On the other hand, I didn’t believe that Nathaniel would act so generously. He wouldn’t have let them fall into Ashton’s trap if he had genuine feelings for Nicolas and his wife. Nathaniel must have an ulterior motive behind his visit.

My suspicions were confirmed when I caught sight of Tiffany alongside Nathaniel.

Upon closer look, I realized that she had a very disheveled and unkempt appearance. Her hair was a mess of tangled curls, and her body was bound in countless coils of rope. Additionally, Tiffany was missing a high-heeled shoe. It was an utter shock to see her like this because Tiffany always maintained a dignified and elegant appearance.

“Bring the children upstairs,” Ashton instructed the maids. After delivering the order, he rose to his feet and strode towards the door. There, he blocked the path of Nathaniel and his henchmen as he kept them cornered near the stairs.

Hurriedly, the maids scurried to obey Ashton’s command as they rounded up the children. In the midst of the chaos, Gregory somehow managed to slip from their grasps. In the blink of an eye, he rushed towards Nathaniel.
