When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1076


    What could I say to that? I only nodded in response.


    I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so naturally, I did not go to the office. However, what surprised me


    was Armond. He had called me and went straight to the point—he wanted to meet me.


    I pursed my lips before replying, “There’s no point for us to meet. Mr. Murphy, what you’re looking for is


    not with me.”

    His chuckles traveled out of the speakers. “You’re overthinking this. I just want to invite you to a meal.


    Nora is here in K City, and you were once close friends. Are you not going to have a meal with her now


    that she’s here?”


    Sensing something else lying behind his friendly tone, I frowned before answering, “I’ll invite her


    another day. I won’t interrupt your meal with her.”


    “Scarlett, I heard you’ve rented a small ce for Shane’s parents. I’ve met with the two today, and they


    told me they want to thank you personally by inviting you to a meal. Is that inconvenient for you? If you


    reject, the two might be upset.”


    His words made my heart skip a beat. Why did Armond go to see Sasha’s parents? Did Shane cross


    Armond?


    “Armond, they’re old. What are you trying to do?” Until now, I still could not figure out to what extent of


    cruelty Armond could tolerate.


    “Nothing, really. I’m just free recently, and I was thinking of getting a meal with someone. Scarlett, will


    you join me? Should Ie and pick you up or are you going to drive?”


    Tamping down the fury in my heart, it took me a while of silence before I uttered, “Send me the


    address.”


    Once again, I heard himughing. “Hahaha! Scarlett, aren’t you an exceptionally nice girl? I really like


    that about you.”


    My lips pursed as I ended the call. Then, I called Ashton.


    It took a few rings before the call went through. “What’s the matter, Scarlett?”


    “Armond called me. It seems like he has found Sasha’s parents, and he has gotten Nora toe to K


    City. I don’t know what his aims are, but I’ve agreed to meet him. How are things on your side?”


    Ashton inhaled sharply. “Brandon’s been in a foul mood ever since he found out about how his


    daughter has been treated. He’s hesitating. Something seems off about Abe. It’s as if he’s been


    drugged. When I saw him, he’s only half-conscious, so I couldn’t get anything from him.”


    I frowned. Thinking of Hailey, I said, “Ashton, perhaps there’s someone who can help. Look for Hailey.


    Her father should have seen Armond in the past. As long as Hailey’s the one to talk to her father, things


    will be much easier.”


    After a moment of contemtion, I added, “By the way, before meeting with Hailey, look for Fawn, Amy,


    and Jody Falker. They’re all victims among the children. Hailey can’te to a decision. If you ask


    them toe with you, she might be able to make up her mind. Also, will you be able toe up with


    a n to protect Hailey’s father? At the end of the day, he’s still involved with the organ trafficking


    incident. Once the investigation is done, I don’t think he’ll be able to say that he’s innocent in it.”


    After a moment of silence, Ashton replied, “I’ll try my best. Armond should be looking for you for that


    box. Hold on to it. If you have to, then give him the box. The box is useless to us, so it’s best if you


    don’t get into a conflict with Armond.”


    I understood why he said those words, so I hummed in agreement. After ending the call, I was about to


    leave the house.


    When Holden saw me about to leave, he darted to my side. “Where are you going? Why aren’t you


    bringing me along? You can’t be dating another man behind my back, right?”


    I nodded as I looked at him. “That’s right. I’m going to have a secret date with another man. Do you


    want to join me? It’ll be exciting.”


    For reasons beyond me, he blushed. “No way, Scarlett. Are you really that shameless to do something


    like this behind Ashton’s back?”


    Rendered speechless for a moment, I then asked, “Are youing with me? If you’re not, I’m going to


    leave now.”


    Promptly, he nodded and entered the car before I did. When he turned back to look at me, there was a


    smug expression on his face. “How can you possibly leave me out of such a thrilling matter? Just the


    mere thought of it makes my heart race.”


    Ignoring his excitement, I started the car. The address that Armond had sent to me was a vi in the


    suburbs.


    Bringing Holden with me was part of the n. If anything did happen, he would be useful.


    When he realized we were heading toward the suburbs, Holden muttered, “Wait, why are you driving


    toward the suburbs? Shouldn’t we be going to a hotel?”


    I pursed my lips for a moment before replying, “We’re going to a vi in the suburbs. Only fools go to


    the hotels.”


    “Holy sh*t! Scarlett, you’re one brave girl. Does Ashton know about this? When did you start doing this?


    Aren’t you afraid of contracting some disease? How many men are there? Are their figures as good as


    mine? Why didn’t you ask me toe along to such a fantastic gathering before today?”


    Irritated by his rambles, I shot him a re. “Shut up or get down from the car. Also, things aren’t what


    you think they are. Armond has invited me to a meeting in the suburbs. I’m a little worried, so I brought


    you along. Don’t be a cowardter.”
