When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 516
In the age when technology was developing at a rapid speed and information was easily essible,
everyone had the tendency to take the moral high ground, bashing the weak and criticizing their
abusers.

As malicious gossips started spreading, as an upper management in Fuller Corporation, Kristina was
naturally fired.
Come to think of it, it was quite a coincidence that Kristina’s video got leaked at such a time. It helped
to divert the reporters’ attentions which were originally on me.
Just then, Emery arrived. As it was still snowing heavily, she was wearing a down jacket covered with
snowkes when she entered the vi.
As she removed her jacket and patted off the snow, she said, “Seems like roadblocks are going to be
set up in K City soon.”
I offered to take over her jacket and hung it on the hanger before pouring her a ss of hot water.
“There are going to be roadblocks set up in K City?”
Emery sat on the sofa and as she warmed her hands on the ss, she replied, “That’s for sure. It
happens quite often. K City is known for its traffic jams. Given that it’s snowing so heavily, the chances
of traffic idents urring are even higher. Roadblocks are unavoidable if the weather conditions get
worse.”
I nodded and remembered that there were some fruits at home. Just when I was about to get up to take
the fruits, she held me back and said, “Stop moving about. Let’s just have a chat!”
Perhaps it was a subconscious reaction, I froze for a moment and replied, “What are we chatting
about?”
“Ashton and the Moore family!” Emery replied instantly. She was indeed one of the most direct people I
know.
“What happened four years ago was already in the past, but I won’t try to convince you to let it go.
Given the pain you had to endure, I understand that it’s easier said than done. As such, you don’t have
to force yourself to move on or forgive anyone either. I know that you’re the one who’s hurting the
most.” She had just expressed what I was genuinely feeling in the most straightforward manner.
As I listened to her quietly, I clenched my fists unknowingly, perhaps either due to my anxiousness or
me feeling upset. I just thought that Emery reminded me so much of Macy that I was a little distracted.
After a slight pause, she continued, “I know that you’re probably feeling quite unsettled right now and
don’t know what you should do. But Scarlett, we have to be forward-looking after all and can’t keep
staying in the past. I think you should just follow your heart. Try not to suppress the memories of the
past as it would make it harder for you to recover.”
I nodded as I listened to her, even though I was already well-aware of everything she had just
mentioned.
Then, Emery held my hand and said with a serious expression on her face, “My purpose foring
here today is not to preach anything to you. I treat you as my friend and just don’t wish to see you hurt.
Scarlett, you don’t have to feel any resistance towards me, OK?”
I smiled faintly with a hint of bitterness as I replied, “Thanks foring over and talking to me, Emery.”
She sighed helplessly and said, “Actually, I didn’t like Cameron initially too. She’s someone who
conceals her ambitions very well and will not hesitate to resort to unscrupulous means to aplish
her goals, even if it means sacrificing everything else. On the surface, it might seem as if she desires
nothing, but she’s the exact opposite of what she lets out.”
Even though I chose not toment, I agreed with Emery wholeheartedly. Indeed, Cameron had very
clear objectives for everything she did.
“And it’s exactly because of this quality of hers that for the past twenty-six years, she endured
everything and went through struggles after struggles just to find you. I personally witnessed her going
to extreme lengths, scaling mountains and visiting countless suburban viges to look for you. In the
process, she was even cheated by people. You probably don’t know, but she donated generously to the
poor in every vige she went to. I guess that was her way of atoning for her sins,” Emery continued
speaking.
I pursed my lips and said in a low voice, “During these four years, I did carefully thought about that past
mistake.”
Emery nodded and replied, “As such, due to a mother’s longing for her daughter, when she met
Reba, she overly indulged her with all the love she had for her daughter and was constantly worried
that it might not be enough. From a mother’s point of view, she was just doing her best to love her
daughter, but to any outsider, that kind of love was excessive, extreme and scary. Scarlett, I’m not
asking you to forgive her or let go. I just want to tell you that the current situation has already reached a
stalemate. What’s best for you is not to dwell in the past but to focus your attention on the future. You
still have a whole life ahead of you.”
I kept quiet. I know better than anyone that as a mother, everything Cameron did was for her daughter.
Since Reba was in love with Ashton, Cameron would do anything to clear the obstacles in her
daughter’s path, including me, who was a problem at that time.
Everything started to go wrong when Ashton switched the DNA reports of Reba and I, changing our
fates. He not only destroyed my yearning for my mother’s affection, but also caused the death of my
child.
By right, I should hate him, but I just couldn’t bring myself to feel that way. Love was quite an absurd
thing sometimes. Because of love, one could even unconditionally forgive someone who threw them
into the depths of despair.
Noticing my silence, Emery spoke, “Actually I really detest Cameron. She’s definitely not a woman who
can contribute to the Moore family’s harmony and propriety. It’s actually not a bad thing for a woman to
be ambitious, but she had gone overboard. I’m just worried that her actions might bring disaster upon
the Moore family. As such, I didn’t have a good impression of her right from the start when she married
into the family. I even tried various ways to chase her away. However, Scarlett, sometimes, things just
don’t go the way we want them to. Even though Ashton has hurt you in many ways due to his
selfishness, he truly loves you. There’s no point for you to continue bearing a grudge against him. You
should try to look ahead instead.”
