When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1208


    To Ezra, the tragic deaths of Ashton’s parents and the unborn child were actually nothing but some


    minor grudges.


    His matter-of-fact attitude instantly made me understand the reason for Ashton’s stubbornness.


    No one could easily let go after their parents died while the murderer was living a good life.


    “I don’t know much about Ashton. Besides, we’re already divorced, so I won’tment on this.” As I


    spoke, I could no longer smile. Instead, I was expressionless while trying hard to appear humble.


    Ezra’s goal was clear—to probe my rtionship with Ashton and also to sound out the resolution of


    Ashton.


    They had obviously exchanged information with Armond and knew that Ashton had just been riled


    because of me and the kids, so they would not easily believe that we had really divorced. After all, they


    would lose the best bargaining chip to control Ashton if the divorce was true.


    Since Ezra hade personally, it proved that they were still afraid of the influence of the Stovall


    family. Thus, I did not need to demean myself.


    As soon as I finished speaking, Ezra’s smile froze on his face as he squinted slightly, exuding an


    imposing air of authority.


    Sensing his powerful presence, I felt my body tense up.


    However, he did not n on letting the matter slide.


    The air in the living room was thick with silence and tension. After a long while, he let out augh.


    “Haha. You’re really the goddaughter of Louis, aren’t you? You’re so much like him!”


    Breathing a sigh of relief, I unclenched my fists and let the air dry the cold sweat in my palms. I was not


    as calm as I appeared as a feeling of dread hung over me, tormenting me with each passing second.


    Ezra and Louis were different. Although they both stood out in the officialdom, Ezra was a real sinister


    and cunning man. Back then, in order to protect himself, he ndered Ashton’s parents and also killed


    four members of the Oberick family. He did not regret nor fear even when he mentioned the incident


    with Ashton’s family now. A cold-blooded man like this was mentally strong and could easily induce fear


    in others.


    This was probably the reason why George refused to tell Ashton the truth back then.


    Fighting against ordinary people was all about thepetition of treachery and mental agility; fighting


    against monsters was a life-and-death situation where a single error could cost one their life.


    “Since that’s the case, I won’t pressure you. I still have a meeting to attend. I shall take my leave


    now…”


    As he spoke, he rose to his feet. Since I had to see him out, Emery helped me up to walk toward the


    door together.


    However, as soon as we turned around, we saw Louis, who was on official duty, at the door.

    Louis walked in with a poker face as he directly ignored Ezra, who was simpering and walked over to


    sit down on the sofa. “The luxury car outside got me thinking I have some important guests… Ezra, let


    me remind you. You’re about to be promoted, so you’d better be careful not to let anyone dig up dirt on


    you…”


    His sarcastic remark made Ezra’s face go red with rage as he replied through his gritted teeth, “Hmph,


    thanks for your reminder, Louis. But you’re thinking too much. The car is donated by Ziegler


    Corporation, and the higher-ups assign it to me. I’ve done no evil, so I don’t mind being investigated.


    You don’t need to worry about it.”


    Without even looking up, Louis picked up a cup of undrunk tea from the table and blew on it before he


    took a sip and slowly said, “We’ll see.”


    “Hmph!” Ezra lost his cool instantly as he left in a huff.
