When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 646

Nora frowned slightly and asked the man, “Are you not a police officer?”

All of us tensed up at the question and the man scoffed. “We are indeed the police, but we are not the police who will send all of you home. Don’t you know that there are different types of police in Venria?”

Upon hearing his confession, Tabitha shrieked in fear, “Let us go!”

Meanwhile, Laurel was so terrified that she started to shake uncontrollably, and Tessa began mumbling philosophical quotes.

Nora turned pale as her hope of returning home vanished in an instant.

She was so upset that she could not even speak. Glaring at him with her blazing eyes, she looked as if she was going to murder the man.

I clasped my hands tightly and took a deep breath to compose myself. Then, I looked at the man with a steady gaze. “So, where are you guys bringing us?”

He turned towards me and smiled. “Oh, you must be Scarlett Stovall.”

I frowned. “Do you know me?”

He gave me a nonchalant shrug and replied, “Nope, I don’t know who you are, but I’ve heard of you. The police in Marsingfill are looking for you now. You seem to be worth a lot of money.”

The police wouldn’t be finding me without a reason. Perhaps Ashton has known that I’m in Venria, so he contacted the police there.

When he saw the baffled look on me, he continued, “Don’t worry, Ms. Stovall. I can’t guarantee the safety of the ladies here, but I can definitely guarantee yours. As long as you cooperate with us, you can go back to your country safe and sound after we receive the ransom.”

“You think you all can get the money?” I scoffed. “If the police are really searching for me, it’d be better if you send me to the police in Marsingfill and tell them that you’re the ones who rescue me. They might give you a large sum of money as a token of appreciation.”

His brows furrowed as he pondered the option. After a while, he narrowed his eyes and said, “I can consider bringing you there, but not them.”

“Why?” I raised my voice. “As long as you send us back, I can give you the money, as much as you want.”

He let out a scoff. “Ah, you’re indeed different, no wonder Mr. Murphy is interested in you. But he is only looking for you, Ms. Stovall. Him spending money on you doesn’t mean that he would fork out for the others. These women are too mediocre. I don’t think he would like any of them, so there’s no use in sending them to him.”
