When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 598

I froze on the spot and the memory of the messages Stacey showed me surface in my mind. Jared and Cameron had indeed been up to something privately for quite a long time previously.

However, during that time, the messages Stacey showed me were about Jared and Cameron teaming up to vent their anger for what happened to Naomi.

I couldn’t help but take a step back as I stared at the men in the ward. They were both people from the business circle. There was no way I could guess any of their schemes.

Ashton could finally sit up by now and he said indifferently, “The Moore family might be formidable in K City but it’s not enough to have the same influence in J City. Saying that I have no moves at all is just ridiculous.”

“Hmph!” Zachary scoffed. “Even though the Moore family have been in the mafia for so many years, we’ve always been just and righteous. The reason we want to get a hold of J City is just to find my daughter. We don’t mean to cause any trouble to you.”

“But Naomi’s dead and that’s the truth!” the former said, a hint of anger in his voice.

Zachary furrowed his brows. “That was an accident.”

“And we’re only settling the score for this accident today,” Ashton replied coldly.

“The matters between you young people are now hurting other insignificant people for no reason. Yet you still think you’re right. Ashton, if you want to continue living a great life with Scarlett, we better call it even and stop talking about things that happened in the past. Otherwise, both of us will be having a hard time.”

I pursed my lips and decided not to continue listening to their conversation. I went back into the hallway and sat down with a cup of water in my hands.

It seemed like Ashton’s purpose of switching the DNA reports four years ago wasn’t as simple as I once thought.

Jared was close to Cameron, but he left even though they hadn’t done anything. I had never analysed the situation carefully previously.

And there was Naomi’s death. I never imagined that I would get involved in this matter.

Cameron saw that I was still sitting in the hallway, daydreaming when she was back and she couldn’t help but say, “What are you still doing here? It’s too chilly here. Get back into the ward.”

With that, she grabbed my hand and pulled me into the ward.

Meanwhile, Ashton and Zachary were already done with their conversation. At the sight of us, the latter instantly got up and pulled Cameron into his arms. “Where did you go?”

“I went to ask the hospital staff if we could transfer Ashton to a hospital outside of K City. That way, we can celebrate the festive season as a family this year,” she replied joyfully.

She then said to Ashton, “You should be able to walk around now, right?”

“Yes,” he nodded.

I gave him a slight smile and felt my eyes burn. Forget it. I won’t ask him anything for now. We still have the rest of our lives ahead of us. There’s no point in bringing up irrelevant and insignificant matters.

The rain had become a normal thing in W City. It hadn’t stopped since the moment we arrived.

Since he was going to be discharged soon, Ashton decided that he would visit Jared at the prison.

I didn’t want to go at first. After all, I couldn’t bring myself to react with virtue instead of retaliation. But I could only agree to it since he wanted to go.

Jared’s Judgement of Criminal Responsibility was personally handled by Louis. No matter how capable the Crest family was, there was nothing they could do about it.

Sometimes, money was just too worthless when compared to power.

That was why Jared had been convicted of intentional assault and was sentenced to seven years in prison in the suburbs outside W City.

Both Cameron and Zachary didn’t want to see him, so they had chosen to ask a driver to bring us over instead.

The car stopped in front of the prison entrance. I looked up at the iron gate before me and it was so tall that just the gate alone was enough to daunt people.
