When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 361

Chapter 361

Yvonne took over her phone and blushed when she stole a glance at John.

Seeing her reaction, Emery cocked her brow and suggested, “How about leaving your phone number to her? Well, she might give her heart to you since you saved her life.”

Displeased. John frowned at her words. After glancing at Emery, he turned to me and asked. “Are you tired?”

I nodded, as I was quite exhausted. It was right at this moment the alcohol kicked in, and my head was spinning,

Seeing how I couldn’t balance myself, he reached out and pull me up from my seat before looking at Emery indifferently. “It’s getting late. We’ll be heading back.”

Emery placed her wine glass on the table before raising a brow at me. “Ms. Stovall, since we’re already friends, do you mind giving me your contact number? We can stay in touch in the future.”

I was stunned before handing my phone to her. She typed a string of numbers and smiled at me. “Let’s stay in touch!”

When we exited the Imperial Hotel, it was 3 a.m.

When I got back to the villa, Ashton wasn’t there. I wasn’t surprised or anything because it was expected.

Overwhelmed by fatigue, I drifted off to sleep without mulling over it.

On the next day, I was still in my dreams when Jackson called.

Awoken by the ringtone, I sat up on my bed with an intense headache.

Once I answered the call, Jackson’s voice sounded from within. “Are you the one behind the incident involving Cameron?” His tone was heavy, and even though I was in a daze, I could hear the curt reprimand in his voice.

“Yeah.” I stretched my body and felt discomfort all over. It might be because of the lack of sleep.

He sighed and said, “Scarlett, if you can’t get over the pain, there’s nothing you can do. Promise me never to do this again. Don’t become someone you hate.”

I lifted a hand to massage my forehead and immediately sobered up a little. Tiredness still lingered on my being as I replied, “Jackson, I had become who I hate long ago.”

When did I cease to live as the old me?

He fell silent for a while before saying, “Come back to J City. Summer and I are here for you. Everything will be better in the future.”

Listening to his words, tears welled up in my eyes. I nodded slightly and forced a word out of my

lips as I choked up. “Okay.”

I was stunned by his words, as I never expect he would give me such a tremendous surprise. Smiling joyfully, I replied, “This is the best news I’ve received this year. Make some arrangements and make sure everyone goes home for their new year celebration after the annual meeting. After the new year, we’ll hold a product launch.”

He nodded and left after handing me the documents, while I was lost in a daze, standing in the office.

I came to work at White Corporation to acquire Orbit Tech. It was my attempt to poach for business with the Moores, but it seemed there was no need for this anymore.

Nonetheless, the outcome was great but quite unexpected. Marcus wasn’t around anymore, and I felt rather lost.

After exiting the White Corporation, I called Louis to invite him for a meal.

It was the end of the year and most people were enjoying their holidays. Louis was done with his inspection in different regions, so he had more leisure time on his hands now.

At the restaurant.

After ordering. Louis looked at me and said, “How’s your holiday plan? I heard from Jo that you’re returning to J City. Do you have someone important there?”

I nodded and looked at him in the eyes. “They are an important friend and a child, which my deceased friend left behind. It wouldn’t be convenient to bring a child that young on a flight, so I plan to return to J City. Dad, will you blame me for not celebrating New Year’s Eve with you?”

He smiled and spoke, “It’s your decision, so I won’t interfere. I’ve gotten used to it after all these years. Say, did something happen between you and Ashton?”
