When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1551

Hearing his voice, Tiffany turned to look at him. Her eyes immediately became watery, and tears were about to spill out at any moment.

Ashton was not bothered with their act of being star-crossed lovers. He coolly said, “Speak up now, my dear sister. Besides the obituary, what other good things did you have a hand in?”

There were no warnings or threats, but Ashton emphasized heavily on the words “good things”.

Perhaps she knew that this was the calm before the storm, or maybe she thought back to all the times she nearly died at Ashton’s hands – Tiffany was terrified. In a shaky voice, she said, “I-I was the one who suggested hypnosis to Dad. But I was forced to do so! Dad was too frightening. In these thirty years, he controlled everything I did. Which school I went to, the people I saw, how many assets I have under my name… Everything had to be according to his wishes. Only by doing so would I be considered a child of the Hall family and become an emotionless robot like he was!”

“But he didn’t stop there. He wanted to control not only everything we did but also how we think!”

She paused and turned to caress the man’s cheek. Her expression was suddenly full of sadness. “I chose Keith, but Dad ordered for people to break his legs. He threatened me that if I wanted Keith to stay alive, I have to go back and fulfill my duties as his obedient daughter. I could only compromise, but the seed of hatred was deeply planted in my heart. I swore I would escape from this hell hole one day!”

If we had not tagged along and followed Ashton here, Gregory and I would never know that this woman, who kept preaching that we were all family, would betray us all in a heartbeat for her own gain.

“You are truly the good daughter of Nicolas Hall,” I said with gritted teeth. My hands would have balled up into fists if I hadn’t been holding Gregory’s shoulders. “If Ashton had not seen through your plan, Gregory would have been kidnapped by you. Did you ever consider the trauma you could cause to a six-year-old child if that were to happen?”
