When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328

“What are you doing? Stand up! Don’t do this!”

Sophia tried to tug me up, but I remained kneeling and sobbed. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Bauman. I was there that day. It was my fault. If it weren’t for me, Marcus wouldn’t have died.”

Anthony stiffened before they both helped me up. “This isn’t your fault. We watched the surveillance footage. He was really emotional back then. He got off the car because of you. Well, it was fate. We can’t blame anyone else.”

I parted my lips and made a solemn promise. “Mr. and Mrs. Bauman, if you don’t mind, I can take care of you on behalf of Marcus.”

“What a thoughtful child. No wonder Marc fell for you,” said Sophia. She sighed and lamented, “I wish Marc is still here. What a pity.”

After a pause, Anthony gazed at me. “Letty, be honest with me. What happened that day? Why did Marc act that way? He wasn’t usually that reckless. Did he have a reason for doing so?”

John and Louis, who had remained silent the whole time, promptly looked at me.

I explained, “Marcus died in despair after Benjamin and Sharon died. It was my fault. I didn’t know he’ll follow his parents’ path.”

Anthony narrowed his gaze. “What do Sharon and Marc’s deaths have to do with Sally?”

I hesitated and revealed the incident which happened ten years ago to them. I also informed them how Benjamin deliberately left most of White Corporation’s shares to Sally. As Sally had sacrificed her life for Sharon’s sake, Benjamin thanked her by giving her the shares.

Both of them had never paid attention to the news and didn’t know about the scandal. After hearing my explanation, tears rolled down Sophia’s cheeks. “What a misfortune in our family!”

Everyone was sighing, but Anthony remained calm. Finally, he exhaled sharply and concluded, “Forget it. It’s nothing but a tragedy.”

I had said and done everything I could, so it was all up to the elders now.

It was 9 p.m. when dinner ended. John told the driver to send Louis, Anthony, and Sophia home before turning to me. “Give me a ride home, will you?”

I pursed my lips. “You didn’t drive here?”
