When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1786

As I walked out of the room, I slammed the door shut behind me.

Meanwhile, Millie was surrounded by Nathaniel’s bodyguards outside the room. It was a tense situation. But when she saw me coming out, she calmed down a little. “Is everything okay?” she asked.

I nodded and gave her a look of reassurance.

Not long after, Nathaniel came out as well.

Then, I couldn’t help but tease him a little. “Since we don’t know each other well, I guess you have no reason to detain my bodyguard, right? Mr. Hall?”

Nathaniel nonchalantly took a glance at his bodyguards and gave them a signal to let Millie go.

“Thank you,” I thanked him blandly before leaving with Millie.

While we were walking away, I whispered to Millie, “Were Nathaniel’s bodyguards hard to handle? Seeing that you had to do it alone just now, how about I hire someone to assist you?”

Millie then put on a serious face and said, “Thank you for your concern, Ms. Stovall. But there’s no need. I didn’t engage because Nathaniel had no intention to cause you any harm. I would only be causing you more trouble if I started a conflict with them. But if needed, they were no match for me, anyway.”

I was rendered speechless.

But right as those words left her mouth, we heard loud slapping sounds coming from nearby.

I waded in through the crowd, and as soon as I turned, I saw that it was Rebecca and her set.

As I expected, the sounds originated from Rebecca relentlessly slapping Ashton on the right side of his face.

Although he didn’t seem to mind the constant abuse, I couldn’t stand watching from the side anymore. Hence, I rushed toward him to shield him from Rebecca. She missed, and her palm landed on my head instead.

Although the crew was infuriated upon hearing that, they had to do whatever she had instructed because she was an investor.

By then, Ashton couldn’t care to be gentle anymore. He walked toward Rebecca and grabbed her by her wrist. Without hesitation, he dragged her away from the set.

“Let me go, Ashton! I said, let me go!”

Rebecca’s voice lingered until both she and Ashton disappeared from sight.

The crowd dispersed soon after that. As I took a quick glance around, I saw Nathaniel standing right outside the studio expressionlessly.

Without a doubt, he had seen how I defended Ashton.
