When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1079


    At that thought, anger curled in my chest.


    “At the very least, Nora truly likes you. How can you possibly use her to threaten me? Armond, you’re


    shameless beyond imagination,” I snarled as I tried to look for my phone in the pocket.


    He sneered, “Truly likes me? What’s the use of that? If she isn’t the one I want, what’s the point of her


    true feelings? She’s still useless. Am I right?”


    I was sure that the man was insane. To him, everything he did not like, did not want, and did not care


    about, was nothing but a burden. He would never cherish those things.


    Has Holden realized that something is off? At that thought, I was about to call my father with the phone


    in my pocket.


    However, before I could, a hand stopped me. A wide, emotionless smile was on Armond’s face as he


    leaned close to me. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you. Isn’t the sandalwood box useless to you? Why are


    you stubbornly holding on to it instead of giving it to me?”


    Retracting my hand as I clenched my jaw, I then moved away from him and sneered, “Will you let them


    go if I give you the sandalwood box?”


    He raised a brow. “Of course. You know my aim is a simple one. Furthermore, I don’t really want to hurt


    them. Scarlett, no one is born a viin.”


    As I stared at him, I knitted my brows. “All you need is Nora if you want to threaten me. Why did you


    invite Sasha’s parents here? They’re old people who are useless to you. Why do you have to torment


    them?”


    He lowered his gaze. “I’m not using them to threaten you. It’s a mere coincidence that they’re here.


    Shane owes me too much, so I’ll have to invite his parents over so that he’ll pay up soon.”


    I pursed my lips. “Why don’t you just kill him?” He’s destroying someone’s family, but he won’t even


    stop at that. Why can someone like him continue to live in this world?


    He shrugged and said instead, “Give me the box. You know I really need the things in it. If you give it to


    me, you can take the people away.”


    I muttered, “Let theme down here first. The box isn’t with me right now. Also, you know that even if


    I want to take Nora away, she won’te with me.”


    He narrowed his eyes. “So what are you trying to tell me?”


    “I’ll give you the box, but you have to let them go first. You know well that Sasha’s parents are useless


    to you. That b*stard Shane has no morals to speak of, so he won’t care about his parents. That’s why


    you should just let the two go and let them enjoy theirst decades peacefully. Leave Shane to the


    police. Let them stop him from making society worse.”


    However, he sneered, “These things are out of my control. Scarlett, honestly, I don’t trust you much.


    You’ve fooled me once, so no matter what happens this time, you have to give me the box. It’s fine


    even if you don’t have it with you now. I’ll give you a chance to go back and get it. Once you get it, give


    it to me, and I’ll let them go.”


    My brows furrowed. Ashton had swapped the box once, and I had no idea where it was now. Looking at


    him, I confessed, “It’s not that I don’t want to give you the box, but that I don’t know where it is. When I


    gave you the box back then, I didn’t even know it had been swapped.”


    He narrowed his eyes again, the upset evident on his face this time. “You mean, you don’t know where


    the box is?”


    I nodded. “Yes.”


    Immediately, a scowl grew on his face. “Then, I’m sorry. Since you don’t have the box, we’ll have to talk


    again when you find it. You might as well stay here for the next few days. Don’t worry; I will treat you


    well.”


    I froze before frowning. “Armond, what do you mean? Are you trying to lock me up here?”


    He shook his head before smirking at me. “No, of course not. How can this be considered as locking


    you up? I just want you to stay here for a few days. Ever since the vi was revamped, no one has


    come for a stay. It’s quite dead in here. Since you’re all here, it’s a good opportunity to liven up the


    ce.


    As he spoke, he reached out to press the call bell. Soon, someone came upstairs—a middle-aged


    man. When Armond saw him, he said, “Spencer, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of my friends for


    the next few days. Thank you.”


    With that said, he stood up and walked out of the room.


    I hastily stopped him. “Armond, this is illegal. Let us go.”

    “We’ll talk again when you find the box. I’m tired now. Spencer will lead you to your room. You don’t


    need to think much about anything; you just need to stay here. I’m sure Ashton will help you with the


    box.”
