When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 871

Neil shook his head, then said gravely, “Mr. Taylor is doing fine. I’m sorry, Ms. Kate. Mr. Taylor didn’t ask for any of his family members.”

“Why doesn’t Father want to meet us? Even now, why is he still refusing to meet us?” Kate cried hysterically and stomped off in frustration.

I watched her departing figure rather curiously but said nothing.

Right then, Neil brought Ashton and me to a separate room, apart from the rest of the house. He had a few cakes and drinks brought in, then left us to our own devices.

I turned to face Ashton. “Shouldn’t we get going? We’ve already met Mr. Taylor, after all.”

“Why are you in such a hurry to leave? What about Mr. Fuller’s matters?” A voice rang out just as the door burst open. Alarmed, I froze in my seat. When I looked over to the speaker, I found myself staring at Holden.

Holden was leaning against the door frame, clutching a sheaf of documents in one hand. He wore the same careless attitude with an accompanying smirk on his face, looking utterly irresponsible.

Ashton had also turned to look at Holden. However, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Holden strode in casually, then placed the documents he’d been holding onto the table before us. Fixing his gaze on Ashton, Holden said, “Dad got me to hand this over to you. Everything’s written clearly inside. If you’re concerned about any missing details, you may invite a lawyer over right now to take a look at it. If not, then sign it.”

A quick glimpse of the documents revealed it to be a contract by the Moranta Foreign Trade Association.

Ashton merely cast an unworried glance at it, then signed it without a second thought.

Holden raised an eyebrow. “Impressive,” he remarked, examining the contract. “All right then. If there’s nothing else, I’ll look forward to working with you, Mr. Fuller.”

Ashton nodded and replied solemnly, “Please thank Mr. Taylor on my behalf. I won’t let him down.”

At that, Holden nodded in response. “Mr. Fuller, at the rate your business is expanding, are you planning on achieving a complete monopoly?”

Ashton remained silent.

Just as Holden was opening his mouth to speak, Neil charged into the room. “Mr. Holden, Mr. Taylor has just passed away.”
