When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1289


    Just as I spoke, Thora’s expression darkened. Her earlier smile dissipated as she scrutinized me in


    surprise. Meeting her gaze confidently, I put on an innocent look. Given what everyone had just heard,


    their impression of me was that I was a fool that only relied on family connections.


    Nevertheless, I was a fool that could elicit jealousy from many others.


    Within this city, there was no one else that could shamelessly im to enjoy the protection of one’s


    family despite having nothing to contribute.


    Within all the prominent families, their children had to either be exceptionally capable or extremely


    attractive. All of them had to work in their families’ interest to enjoy the equivalent amount of protection.


    If one was born without any talent, one had to be extra careful not to bring any trouble to the family, or


    else one would be kicked out.


    As for me, by admitting my ipetence in the face of a powerful career woman, I was indirectly


    unting the unconditional love that I enjoyed. It was something I already had but everything that Thora


    craved. Hence, there was nothing more painful for her than this.


    That being said, this was her own doing. After all, she was the one that started it and I was just


    returning the favor, albeit with the intensity of a hundredfold.


    With impable timing, Brooklyn rubbed salt in her wounds. “Ms. Ziegler, Ms. Stovall doesn’t


    understand the situation, so let me exin it to you. Ever since thew firm began its operations, we


    have received a lot of work from both the Stovall and Moore families. Therefore, most of our top


    lawyers are bogged down with work. Hence, if you don’t mind, I can get one of my assistants to help


    you. What do you think about that?”


    D*mn, I didn’t expect Brooklyn to be so good at insults. It was really brazen of him to suggest assigning


    an assistantwyer to deal with the president of a listedpany. No wonder John liked him so much.


    After the brief exchange, Thora didn’t gain any advantage at all. Instead, she had been badly beaten


    down. Nevertheless, she managed to remain calm despite the rage burning in her eyes.


    Suddenly, a figure stepped out from behind her and raised his hand to throw a ss of wine toward


    me.


    Reacting instantly, Brooklyn stepped forward to shield me from it.


    However, when the man raised his ss halfway, a hand came out of nowhere and grabbed his wrist.


    With a forceful twist, the man copsed onto his knees and pleaded for mercy.


    Losing its support, the wine ss that was heading in my direction fell onto the ground instead. Upon


    impact, its contents spilled in every direction. Unable to evade in time, Thora’s pure white dress was


    now stained with jarring red.


    Amidst themotion, Ashton’s threatening voice rang out.


    “How dare you!”


    Just as he spoke, Ashton shoved the man’s hand aside and kicked him to the ground.


    The incident had caught everyone’s attention. Only then did I notice that Ezra and Zayne were also


    present. It was just that they weren’t tall enough, hence I didn’t see them earlier. But now that everyone


    came over to see what was going on, their presence was finally felt.

    At that moment, they looked at Ashton in both a suspicious and threatening manner.


    By getting close to Thora, Ashton obviously wanted to get on Ezra’s good side. But now that he had


    defended me in public, Ezra would begin to doubt the authenticity of our divorce.


    Nevertheless, Ashton didn’t seem to care as he red coldly at Thora. He warned, “How dare your


    assistant harm the mother of my children? Do you intend to show the whole city that anyone can harm


    my children? And that there would be no consequences for doing so?”


    With that, Ashton had indirectly dered that harming me was no different than harming his children.


    By doing so, he had warned everyone and guaranteed my safety.


    I couldn’t help but admit that Ashton’s reaction was exceptionally quick. He could easily turn any


    incident into an excuse to gain an advantage.


    Not too long ago, he had used the same reason to beat back Zander.


    Just as he spoke, the crowd fell into silence. All of them were waiting in anticipation to see how this


    competition between love rivals was going to end.
