When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 585
Jared’s face paled. Just then, the waiter brought over his order.
He took in a breath before pushing the dessert toward me. Then, he said in a low voice, “Scarlett, I
must admit that this is my fault. However, the most important thing now is to find Summer.”
I simply pressed my lips together and stared at him, waiting for him to continue.

“I’ve checked the surveince footage and all the cameras on the roads around Crest Residence.
There’s still no trace of her.”
He then looked me in the eye and asked solemnly, “Scarlett, do you have any enemies?”
I frowned, looking at him in shock. “Are you suspecting that someone took Summer because of their
hatred for me?”
He replied, “Not many people in the Crest family know of Summer’s identity, so our long-time enemies
couldn’t possibly have found out about her so quickly.”
I sneered. Looking at him, I could not help butugh. “Jared, I’d always thought you were pretty smart,
but I’m doubtful now. If someone really wanted to capture Summer because of me, why didn’t they do
anything while I was in R Province for four years? Why did they choose to do it only when Summer was
in a heavily guarded ce like the Crest Residence?”
I paused, then continued, “Also, you said that not many people know of Summer’s identity. But the
Crest family has over twenty people. Do they know of Summer’s identity?”
He frowned, then nodded after a while.
“So, do you seriously think that out of the twenty-odd people in your family, all of them only have good
intentions toward Summer? I was born in a small family, so I don’t know about whatever scheming that
goes on in a big family like yours. But for so many years, you’ve just been hanging around Ashton and
not interfering in your family business. I’m sure you know why you did that.”
Summer’s disappearance had happened so quickly that we had neither evidence nor witnesses. There
was no way to confirm the details of what happened.
However, although I only said those words because Jared angered me, there was a possibility that this
was part of the Crest family’s n.
Judging by Jared’s darkening expression, it seemed as though he was starting to have his own
guesses.
After a pause, he looked at me. “I’ll definitely find Summer.”
It was both a guarantee for me and a promise to himself.
I simply sat there in silence.
Then, John called to ask where I was. I gave him the hotel address before hanging up, then nced at
Jared before leaving the café without saying another word.
Ashton followed after me, but I simply ignored him and waited in the hotel lobby for John.
Ashton was always a prominent figure no matter where he went. Thus, many guests constantly looked
over at him while we sat in the hotel’s lobby.
Both of us kept silent while waiting. He was sending messages on his phone the whole time, likely to
settle his work matters.
About half an hourter, John arrived with Louis.
The two men had rushed over through the night and thus looked terrible. John stepped forward and
said, “Don’t worry. Uncle Louis has already spoken to the police in W City. We’ll definitely be able to
find Summer.”
Upon seeing him, my eyes started to well up with tears. The emotions that I had been repressing the
past few days were finally released. Looking at him with reddened eyes, I nodded.
As Louis and Ashton conversed, a hotel room had been prepared for them.
John frowned when he noticed the weird atmosphere between Ashton and me. Before we stepped into
the elevator, he asked, “Did you guys just argue?”
I pressed my lips together and shook my head, then looked up at him and smiled. “No. I’m just really
worried about Summer.”
He stroked my hair helplessly and tried to soothe me. “Don’t worry. We’ll surely find her.”
Just as they entered their room, Louis got a call. The police had found a white teddy bear dog and were
asking if we wanted to go over for a look.
Since we did not know the exact situation, we rushed over immediately. Our destination was an
abandoned factory in the suburb of W City.
Although W City rarely snowed, it was constantly drizzling. As a result, the roads in the suburbs were
muddy and difficult to drive through.
The area had been blocked off by the police. When we reached the entrance of the factory, a middle-
aged man in police uniform came out to greet us.
He looked at Louis and said, “Mr. Stovall, you’re finally here. We’ve been looking through all the traffic
surveince footage throughout W City for the past few days. Yesterday, we started a thorough search
of all factories in W City. However, we didn’t find any children, but a white dog. You guys can go see if
the dog was with the child when she got lost.”
Louis nodded as he kept silent and walked overposedly. My legs felt weak, and my heart was
beating very quickly with anxiety.
The things in the factory were old and tattered. They looked to have been abandoned for a very long
time.
We hurried in after the policeman, seeing many old items along the way. Although reinforcements and
protective measures had been taken, many ces in the factory still seemed to be falling apart.
“How did you find the dog?” asked Ashton as his eyes swept across the old factory.
The policeman who was leading the group could tell that Ashton was no ordinary person. “While we
were carrying out our search and rescue, we noticed a lot of footprints around this area, so we followed
them here.”
