When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1542

His words sent a chill skittering down my spine.

Nathaniel’s wickedness had no bounds. Even after sabotaging Nicolas and his wife, he still harbored such evil intentions towards his own sister.

Catching Tiffany red-handed must have been a scheme that he plotted for a long time. After all, it was impossible that he managed to expose her on a whim.

Despite her cautiousness, her own brother was the one who stabbed her in the back.

This must be Tiffany’s worst nightmare. She finally managed to elude Ashton and had a chance to achieve her goals. Yet, her path to success was blocked by her meek and gentle-mannered younger brother. It was no wonder that she seethed with resentment and reluctance from the moment she stepped foot inside the house.

“What are you talking about? I can’t seem to understand what you’re saying,” Nathaniel laughed despite Ashton’s cold gaze.

“Oh, I get it now!” he exclaimed after a brief pause, “From now on, we should support our family business to the best of our abilities! After all, we are brothers; we should watch each other’s backs. Am I right? You can relax. Blood is thicker than water. We will never be separated.” Sarcasm dripped off his every word.

Not only was he unashamed of his actions. Nathaniel even dared to blow his own horn.

Despite his goals to obtain revenge, Ashton had not acted out of the line by harming innocents. On the other hand, Nathaniel was willing to sacrifice his family and friends without mercy. Not to mention, he might have even dabbled in human experimentation.

How could such a revolting person like him hold a candle to Ashton?

Although Ashton’s broad back was facing me, the gloomy atmosphere that hung around his figure was easy to read. He must have a troubled expression on his face.

“Your parents have been kidnapped. Even until now, there is no trace of them. Despite their disappearance, you have been busy transferring money into your own account. Your greedy actions have revealed your true colors. It seems like you’ve inherited the wonderful trait that the Hall family shares,” Ashton said nonchalantly as his eyes narrowed.

“They are missing?” There was a trace of surprise evident in her tone. Yet, she refused to believe his words. “There’s no way that’s true. No one is smart enough to defeat Dad’s tricky schemes and sly wit.”

She shook her head in an attempt to clear her thoughts. “Are you saying the truth? Is father never coming back?” she questioned Ashton again.

Ashton’s sharp gaze narrowed as he remained rooted firmly in the spot. An aura of fury seemed to emanate from his figure when he took a deep breath to regain his composure.

Although he did not comment any further, the tense silence that filled the air confirmed her question.
