When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1646

Still, all of these were minor issues. Dealing with Quince would be ten times tougher than dealing with Lucas. Quince had already stated his goal—regardless of the authenticity of those photos, they were already in K City, so they were not going to return empty-handed. If we did not agree to their terms, then he would assume that we were deliberately going against them and looking down on them.

Even ordinary people would be livid being looked down on by another, let alone gang members like them. In order to make sure that they would not return empty-handed, the next course of action they might take would be to destroy all of Fuller Corporation’s businesses.

After all, it was the typical act of the petty. If I can’t get it, you can’t too.

Ashton feared threats the least, so I thought he would mercilessly send these people out of the house like he usually would. To my surprise, he calmly looked at Quince with a small smile.

I knew Ashton too well. The more he acted in this way, the more dangerous he was.

Ashton was a man who could kill without leaving any traces behind. However, there were over ten thousand members in Skull. If anything were to happen to their two leaders in Chanaea, those men in M Country might find their way over to Chanaea. If anything were to go wrong, they would hold us accountable.

Nevertheless, Summer was still so young, and it was only her first business. How could we let her live among the vultures?

As of now, there seemed to be no other way than to lure them to ourselves so that Summer would not have to deal with them. However, that would mean that we would involve the company and our family in the mess. It was a very tough decision, so I was stumped.

“Okay,” Ashton suddenly said. “We can work together.”

He had always been a man of plans. Although we were surprised by his abrupt agreement, neither John nor I said anything about it. Even though we argued at home, we would always stand on the same side when outsiders were involved. After all, we were a family.

“Really? That’s the right call you’ve made, Fuller.”

Lucas waved his hand in an arc and dismissed it. “They’re just cops. We can either use money or guns to deal with them.”

Ashton subtly lowered his head as a meaningful grin grew on his lips.

I smiled as well before saying, “Perhaps you don’t know how impressive the Chanaean law is. Not long ago, a politician called Grant had been taken off his position. After his incident, the internal investigations will only be more vigorous and thorough. The law enforcement officers won’t be merciful anymore. Regardless of who you are, no one who breaks the law can escape. So, even after finding out about this, will you two still invest your life’s savings into Chanaea?”

I had to admit that Ashton’s reaction was swift. Once the issue of law was on the table, confidence swelled in my chest.

If they could create a diversion, then I could find a roundabout way to deal with them.
