When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 256
As they caused quite amotion, Marcus lost his appetite after taking a few more bites. He looked at
me and suggested, “Let’s go and rest for a while. We’ll go to OrbitTech at two in the afternoon.”
Nodding, I stood up with him and subconsciously shot a nce at the woman, who was shrieking in
pain as the man hit her.
I could not help but frown. Why is no one stopping them when things are looking so bad?
When the man was about to smash a ss on the woman, she cowered and desperately shielded her
head. It seemed like she was used to being beaten up.
Instinctively, I yelled, “Stop it!”
When I regained my senses immediately after, I could not help but feel frustrated at myself. After all, it
was not quite appropriate for an outsider to interfere in one’s family affairs. Even if I could help this
time, I would not be able to help them forever.
However, since I had already yelled at him, it was impossible for me to leave just like that.
When the man heard my voice, he paused mid-action and turned around to look in our direction.
When I saw his face, I was stunned. Felix?
Why is he here?
My gaze then turned to the woman cowering in front of him. She timidly raised her head and nced at
me.
I was once again astonished. As expected, the woman was Stacey. It had been some time since Ist
saw her, but her mature beauty had already disappeared and was reced instead by a sunken and
depressed look.
Only half a year had passed, but she had changed so drastically.
Both of them were stunned to see me. Felix was the first to scoff in disdain, “I was wondering who it
was! So it’s Mrs. Fuller, huh? Didn’t you go to K City with Mr. Fuller? Have you returned?”
When he nced at Marcus, he raised his eyebrows and remarked frivolously, “Tsk-tsk! You’re still as
pretty as before. Looks like you’ve found another man for yourself.”
Frowning, I ignored hisment and gazed at Stacey instead. For a moment, I was at a loss for
words.
How did she be like this?
After a slight pause, I unhesitatingly whipped out my phone and called the cops. After the call went
through, I said, “Hello. I’d like to report a case of domestic abuse here, and it seems to be quite
serious.”
I told them about the address before hanging up. At the same time, Felix red at me viciously, almost
flying into a rage. “Why are you nosing into my business? Do you think that I won’t dare to hit you?”
This was not how a rational person was supposed to react.
I nced at Stacey. After a moment of shock, she became calm again. It looked like she was used to
Felix’s attitude.
Walking toward her, I stretched out my hand and offered, “It’s been ages since I saw you. Do you need
me to send you to the hospital?”
She shot a timid nce at Felix before shaking her head fearfully. Forcing a smile out on her face, she
insisted, “It’s fine. I’m alright. Thank you!”
Felix smirked coldly and shoved his hands into his pocket. Albeit being reported, he showed no signs of
fear at all. Instead, he looked extremely reassured, as if nothing would happen to him.
The cops arrived soon. After understanding the situation, they brought Felix away.
As they needed evidence of what had happened, I told Marcus to look for the restaurant’s owner and
get the surveince tapes.
Meanwhile, Stacey was brought to the police station to give a statement. As I was the one who
reported the incident, I had to head there too.
After all that, it was already 1 p.m., and there was no time to rest anymore.
Meanwhile, Felix had been detained for intentional assault.
Outside the station, Stacey kept remaining silent. As she did not say anything, I was at a loss for what
to ask her either.
Yet, I knew I couldn’t leave her just like that. Hence, I walked towards her and assured her, “Although I
don’t know what you’ve experienced over the past six months, please note down my number. If the
need arises, just call me, and I’ll help you to the best of my abilities!”
As we had worked together for two years, I would feel guilty if I left her in that state.
Stunned, she stared at me sorrowfully as tears streamed down her cheeks. “Ms. Stovall, I… I’m sorry!”
I sighed. “It’s alright. Let bygones be bygones. Call me if anything happens!”
Since I had changed my number previously, I left her my new number.
Then, I hailed a cab for her and sent her off.
Marcus stared at me with his lips pursed. “She’ll probably look for you soon.”
Looking at the cab that left, I replied sadly, “She wasn’t like this in the past!” What has marriage done to
her?
As it was already quitete, Richard, the president of OrbitTech, was already waiting for us when we
arrived at the office building.
When he spotted Marcus and me, he approached us with a smile. “It must’ve been tiring for both of
you. Have you had lunch?”
Marcus nodded and had a polite chat with him while we walked into the meeting room.
Seeing that the upper management of OrbitTech had all arrived, Marcus nced at me and instructed,
“Describe our project brieflyter. We’ll negotiate the scope of OrbitTech’s conditions afterward.”

I nodded, having prepared all those beforehand.
There were not a lot of shareholders in OrbitTech, with a total of only six. The person with the greatest
shares was the president, Richard. He was in his mid-forties and was a huge techie.
As he was obsessed with developing new products, he founded OrbitTech at the start. For the past few
years, OrbitTech’s products had always been top-notch.
However, as he was not so skilled in management, OrbitTech had been incurring losses. As a result,
many investors decided to invest in OrbitTech and participate in its management.
