When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314

John was angered by my remark. “I’m making a mountain out of a molehill? You tried to kill yourself for God’s sake! Are you going to keep saying that it’s nothing until you’re dead?”

Feeling helpless, I kept trying to change the topic. “I gave you the documents yesterday. Is the Moore family making any move now?”

I could vaguely hear him sigh. “Uncle Louis looked into Hector and Savini just like you asked. He found something and has gone to J City today.”

I nodded. “Oh, by the way, Cameron might look like she’s not involved in this. Since their relationship is purely professional, it’d make investigations hard, as everything will look normal.

I pursed my lips, but I didn’t resist since everyone was looking at us. “I’m not throwing a tantrum.” I forced out a smile.

Just when he was dragging me out of the company, a conspicuous sports car skidded to a halt, attracting everyone’s attention. The door spun up in style, and out came John. He was wearing sunglasses, and he radiated a thuggish air.

John took off his sunglasses when he saw me in Ashton’s arms, and he squinted at Ashton. “Mr. Fuller, can’t you see she doesn’t want this?”

Ashton threw him a look of disdain before turning to me. “So this is why you don’t want me around, huh?”

What the hell? This is slander! “No,” I said calmly, “I have no idea why he’s here.”

Handling Ashton alone was problematic enough. Adding John into the mix would be a recipe for disaster. I looked at both men before caving in. “Fine, I’ll go for the checkup.” Then, I went into
