When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1754

“Forget it. No one can stop him from leaving. This isn’t your fault, and I will pay you for the month as we have agreed. You can go home now.”

After ending the call, I knitted my eyebrows and wondered what Joseph was up to.

Being warded in the hospital was a wonderful opportunity for him to recuperate and wean himself off the drug addiction before it got too serious. By avoiding me like a plague, he made it look as though I was the villain.

Anyway, I figured that they probably had plans of their own. What happened to the Lyons family had served as a lesson to me. Nathaniel would never react in the way an ordinary person would. Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that Ashton had to change his behavior in an effort to challenge him.

Since I was unable to guess what his plan was, I had no choice but to trust him.

Over the next three days, the attack on the Lyons family by an anonymous financier had been widely broadcasted across many financial news channels, causing an uproar within the community. Finally, John, as the representative of Stovall Corporation, had announced that they would invest in the company of the Lyons family. His decision had stabilized the company’s stock price and arrested the losses of the Lyons family in time.

Just when everyone thought that the matter had come to a close, the financier, who had been beaten back the day before, had resurfaced to attack the Lyons family’s newly listed company. Consequently, his actions had caused them significant losses again.

Meanwhile, I had been monitoring the situation closely. Looking at how the matter had escalated, I was worried that Nathaniel was mounting an all-attack to wipe out the Lyons family. Hence, I quickly gave John a call.

To my surprise, John didn’t sound anxious when he answered, “What’s wrong, Letty?”

“Are you guys doing okay?” I was baffled. “I saw this expert on the news commenting that the Lyons family is being dragged through the mud by their powerful enemy.”
