When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1054

Yvonne stared at me in fright and disbelief as her body shook more intensely.

Looking at her disconcertment, a gush of thrill welled up in my heart. “From what I gathered, he’s a womanizer through and through. He hooked up with rich women and also those with questionable backgrounds. I heard he ended up having some kind of disease, so both of you have better have a heart-to-heart talk. You might want to do a thorough check at the hospital too. I think you’ll need it.”

“Scarlett Stovall! Watch your tongue!” she bellowed, “I don’t even know who Franklin is!”

I shrugged indifferently and let her have her say before turning toward the guards. “Send her out. It’s already late and everyone needs to rest. Call the police if she refuses to leave.”

With that said, I left with Ashton and Hannah.

Hannah finally spoke when we reached the car park. “You did a background check on Yvonne?”

“Yeah. She’s too greedy for her own good. The Stovall family will never accept someone like her.”

“Thanks, Scarlett,” Hannah said, her voice suddenly becoming serious. “I’ve wanted to discuss Kiki’s custody with Uncle Louis because I thought John would marry her. I’d never let someone like her come close to Kiki.”

A smile spread across my lips as she thanked me. “Don’t mention it. The Stovall family helped me before, and John had supported me through my hardest time. Although I’m angry with what he’s done, I still don’t want his marriage to end on a bad note.”

“I’ll give John my blessing if he’s able to meet someone suitable. Kiki is his child, and no one can ever change that. If he meets someone he likes and they have a family together, I’ll still be happy for him,” Hannah replied with a hint of resignation in her voice.

Ashton drove the car over and I bid Hannah goodbye before hopping on. I fell into slumber not long after the car drove off. It had been a long and tiring day.

By the time I woke up, we were already back at the villa. It was not until I saw Ashton packing his stuff that I remembered we were going to A City tomorrow.

“They have clothes and toiletries over there, so just bring our travel documents and ID,” I said, squinting my eyes as I looked at him.

Ashton took out a small journal and looked at me. “What is this then?”

I stared at the book in confusion before I finally recalled something. “That’s Sasha’s. Renee gave it to me when she was at the hospital. She said it belonged to her mother.”

“So this is Sasha’s diary?”

I nodded and Ashton flipped through it. I got out of bed and took a curious look. The journal seemed painfully ordinary, and I figured there would not be anything exciting. After all, it was written by someone who had already passed away.

“I don’t think there’ll be anything interesting. I should probably return this to Sasha’s mother. I think she will appreciate having something in remembrance of her daughter.”

But beside me, a frown settled on Ashton’s brows as he closed the book. “I finally know why Abe was suddenly in charge of Imperial Hotel after you saw him dead in Moranta. This is why Armond gave you all the evidence without holding back although he knew you were investigating him. The truth is, he already had everything planned.”
