When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1030


    I groaned inwardly. This woman is crazy!


    I reluctantly trailed after Hannah. We hadn’t proceeded much further, however, when we came to a halt.


    K City’s underworld was equally as squalid as how vibrant the city was. Beneath streemps so dim,


    there was barely a glow in the oppressive dark sat a few men. Some were leaning against the wall


    while others perched on top of it. Some looked haggard, skeletal, and barely sustained by the


    asional meals from good Samaritans.


    Others were dressed in shy outfits, clutching thick wads of cash in their hands. Revolted by the


    grimy, seedy appearance of the ce, I grabbed Hannah and yanked at her frantically, indicating that


    we should leave right away.


    Hannah was evidently terrified as well. She took one nce and turned on her heels, ready to leave


    with me. Before we could escape, we ironically crashed headlong into the one person we’de here


    to meet. It was Reba! In the flickering light cast by the streemps, Reba’s face looked


    absolutely ghastly.


    Reba’s eyes widened first in shock, then in recognition. She instinctively recoiled, her eyes darting


    nervously from side to side. Realizing that there was nowhere for her to hide or run, she faced me


    squarely, her eyes zing in fury and despair. “Scarlett? Why are you here?” she asked.


    My gaze shifted to the object that Reba wielded in her hand, then jumped in fright. “You…”


    Reba nced down at the sealed stic sachet in her hand. The corners of her mouth curved up


    into a sinister smile. “What? Do you want to try some? It’s good stuff. Once you’ve had some, you’ll find


    yourself craving for more the rest of your life.”


    I staggered slightly in horror and gawped at Reba. “Did you use the money from all your dirty deeds


    to purchase this?”


    Reba narrowed her eyes, then abruptly burst into peals of high, piercingughter that sounded


    almost like a shriek. “So it was indeed the two of you I saw just now! I’d thought I was hallucinating,”


    Reba admitted dizzily. She stuck a fingertip into the powder in her hand, then waved it in front of us.


    “Come on, I got lots of extras today. I can spare you a little. Why don’t you try a bit to see what it feels


    like? How about that? Just a little.”


    “Get away from us!” Hannah struck out, shoving Reba aside. She bellowed, “Reba, no one


    cares if you be an addict. But you’d better keep your distance from us! We don’t want to end up


    like you.”


    Hannah’s words seemed to trigger something in Reba. Scowling, Reba snarled, “Mrs. Fuller,


    you’re already married to Ashton, aren’t you? What are you doing all the way out here, then? Why are


    you suddenly so interested in addicts like us? Aren’t you afraid that someone will kidnap you and


    demand a ransom of millions from Mr. Fuller?”


    “Enough of your nonsense!” Hannah snapped back in return. “You’ve already been reduced to such a


    state, yet you’re criticizing others? Let me tell you honestly then, we came here to look at you!”


    Hannah pulled my arm again, but Reba stood adamantly in our way. Raising her voice, she


    addressed the group of men standing behind us. “Everyone, listen up! She’s the wife of the president of


    Fuller Corporation! If you manage to get her, you should be able to easily get a cool hundred thousand


    from Mr. Fuller at the very least.”


    Does Reba intend to incite my kidnapping and threaten Ashton? I pondered.


    Hannah was speechless. “Reba, have you gone crazy? How can you bring yourself to stoop so


    low?”


    Busy reveling in her loathing of me, Reba seemed unfazed by either Hannah’s derision or the cold


    wind. One could say that Reba was my nemesis, perhaps, but amongst all the possible endings to


    our rivalry, I’d never imagined this one. There was no light at all in Reba’s dull eyes. She looked as


    if she had utterly given up on herself and life.


    I had no intention of squabbling with Reba. This wasn’t an ideal environment, and the sooner we


    got away from here, the better. Besides, I wasn’t invested enough in her to care. We were merely two


    individuals whose paths had crossed at one point in time but had diverged thereafter. I thus saw no


    purpose in further engaging with her antics.


    I briskly pushed Reba aside, dragging Hannah close behind me. But, Reba stopped us with one


    hand. “Scarlett, do you really think I’m going to let you get away so easily?” Reba sneered.


    Having said that, she howled towards the men behind us with a vengeance. “Inject her with the stuff! I’ll


    give my entire stash to anyone who seeds. Quickly!”


    I froze. Hannah lunged forward to restrain Reba but was pushed aside. Reba’s eyes were


    zing. “Move aside if you don’t want me to kill you as well!”


    I struggled, but Reba seemed possessed with an inhuman strength. I was totally incapacitated by


    her strong grip.


    The audience behind us in the alley sprang into action. I highly doubted that they cared about the


    legality of their actions. Reba’s promation seemed to unleash the demons within them. They


    scrambled and sprinted over in their eagerness to inject me.


    At the sight of those needles pointing towards me, I stood rooted to the spot, petrified. My mind raced


    and I panicked. These needles are all probably infected with something or another! I’m dead if they


    touch me!


    Rebaughed maniacally. “Scarlett, I never thought I’d live to see you like this!”


    Just then, a miraculous burst of energy surged through me. I wrenched my arm out of Reba’s


    strong grip and hurled her towards the iing needles. Without a second thought, I grabbed Hannah.


    We sprinted for our lives towards the exit of the alley.


    Fortunately for us, it wasn’t a long way off. The addicts, probably lethargic, didn’t have enough of an


    interest to hunt us down.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
