When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56 

Such an idiot!

“Get out!” My whole body was trembling with anger.

“Hahaha! Take care, Ms. Stovall.” He continued to laugh on his way out.

My head was pounding again, and I was very close to losing my sanity. Having two auditors working for one company is just ridiculous!

“Ms. Stovall, should we get AC Credit to take over the whole job? Mr. Harrison doesn’t seem very reliable,” Stacey suggested.

You’re preaching to the choir, sister. But Ashton explicitly said he wanted Nick to handle this

job.

I paused briefly before telling Stacey, “I’ve got to talk to Ashton about this.”

On top of the matter with Macy, now I had a plateful of contractual issues to worry about, and my head was about to explode. Speaking of whom, Ashton still hadn’t indicated if he was going to help her or not.

I could no longer sit back and do nothing. As I packed up my stuff, I instructed Stacey, “Keep an eye on Nick for me. In the meantime, I’ll speak to Ashton about the other matter. Also, see if there is any need to go outstation for inspection and put everything in a report for me.”

Stacey was worried about my well-being. “Ms. Stovall, are you sure you’re all right?”

I assured her that I was fine and headed out. Since Ashton took my car, I had to take a cab to the police station.

There was not much progress in Macy’s case, and she was to be held for fifteen days for further investigation.

After arriving at the police station, I managed to talk to the officer who was interrogating Macy yesterday. Unfortunately, he just reiterated what I already knew; there was no substantial development.

Just as Jared had said before, the security cameras in the hotel were broken that night. In other words, there was no admissible evidence.

As such, I was not allowed to see Macy until they concluded their investigation.

Feeling helpless, I headed over to Hour Bar only to find out that the bar was cordoned off and no one was allowed in.

It was times like this that made me realize the cold hard truth of the invisible caste system that governed this society. The whole network was complicated yet interconnected. It would be nearly impossible for me to gather enough evidence to free Macy all by myself.

I thought Ashton would be at one of these two places, but I guessed I was wrong about him again. His call came in while I was sitting in front of Hour Bar like a deflated balloon.

His background was noisy, but his voice was clear. “Where are you?”

“I’m in the office.” I dared not tell him where I really was.

However, I immediately came to regret the lie I just told when his voice became cold and distant. “Since when is your office in such a dump?”
