When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41

“So what if you’re married to her? You don’t love her. Didn’t you say you love me, Ash? My body is all recovered now. Let’s have another child, okay?”

“Rebecca…

What came next were the sounds of a man and woman getting intimate with each other. I squeezed my eyes shut and struggled to tune out those sounds.

The harder I tried not to listen, the more I was tormented by those noises.

As Rebecca’s moans became louder, my body trembled violently. I even felt nausea rise in me and started to dry heave.

I had always known that there was something going on between Rebecca and Ashton, so I wasn’t surprised that they had slept together. However, I never expected to have to listen to them right in the act, nor did I want to know anything about how passionate they were in bed.

It lasted for a long time. By then, I had already thrown up everything in my stomach and my whole body felt drained of energy. I sat limply on the bed, and my heart started to crack, shattering into a million pieces that were impossible to pick back up.

“Ms. Stovall, how was the show? Entertaining enough?” The door was opened, and the plump man walked in. I could clearly hear the smile in his voice, making me feel disgusted.

Even though I couldn’t see his face, I looked straight into his eyes and spat, “Is Rebecca behind this?”

Apart from her, I couldn’t think of anyone else who would do something so disgusting.

“Does it matter?” He snickered. “I’m sure you must be in a special mood after listening to such a good show, Ms. Stovall!”

“What do you want?” They wouldn’t have gone through all the trouble to kidnap me just to spite me. There was no way things were that simple.

“Clever woman!” The plump man raised his voice and continued, “I heard that you’re in charge of Fuller Corporation’s audit this year, Ms. Stovall. I wonder if you’d be interested in making a deal with me?”

I scoffed derisively. “What makes you think that I’d make a deal with you after you’ve used such dirty means to bring me here to spite me?”

He pondered for a while and said in a low voice, “The baby in your belly, Ms. Stovall.” I was stunned, instantly breaking out in cold sweat. How did he know?

He seemed to be satisfied with my reaction, smiling lightly as he said, “What do you think? It seems to me like you don’t want Mr. Fuller to know. I’m guessing you have your own plans. If

that’s the case, we might as well work together. What do you say?”

“What exactly do you want?” Whoever got to handle Fuller Corporation’s external audit would make a lot of money. Hence, it was normal that someone would fight to get their hands on it, but

this method was too despicable.

“An open tender for Fuller Corporation’s audit!” he answered.
