When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1315
His sudden outburst of emotion had caused him to raise his voice, drawing the attention of the other
customers in the quiet café.
If John went on like this, he might actually start a physical fight.

I nced at Jared, who still appeared calm andposed. He hadn’t taken John’s threats seriously, or
maybe this entire situation waspletely within his control.
The rest of the café’s patrons were made up of small groups of two or three people who would
asionally look over at us. They were just being a little nosy, but there was nothing particrly
strange about our surroundings.
Was this the calm before the storm? I had no clue what tricks Jared had up his sleeve, but I knew one
thing for sure—being too reckless might cause more trouble than we needed.
After havinge to that conclusion, I reached up and pulled John to sit back down in his chair.
I forced a fake smile onto my face, softening my tone as I spoke. “You said you wanted to take this
case to court, right? I’ll happily agree to that, and I’ll make sure we see this to the very end. As a
lawyer, I can tell you definitively that you do have primary custodial rights as Summer’s biological
father. I also know that I have a huge disadvantage due to my marital status. I’m assuming yourwyer
told you all of this, too?”
“So what if they did?” Jared shrugged, unlocking his sped-together hands and spreading his arms
wide in a motion of defeat. “I’m just a doctor; of course, I have to leave these sort of things up to a
professionalwyer. I might as well let you in on a little secret—the country’s best child custodywyer
has already epted my case. I won’t lose this time, Scarlett. I suggest you turn a blind eye and back
off, and stop preventing me from seeing Summer again. If not, you can’t me me if you have to hear
mywyer reveal some particrly unpleasant things about you while in court.”
I let out a cold scoff.
The mere mention of a “professional child custodywyer” wasn’t enough to scare me off.
“I don’t know who yourwyer is, but I already feel sorry for them,” I fluttered my eyshes innocently.
“They won’t be earning their legal fees this time.”
Jared blinked owlishly at me. I could nearly see the gears turning in his head, wondering what I was up
to.
Leaning forward with augh, I said, “I am sure you have not told thewyer the whole truth if you’re
feeling so confident in them. But of course, who would willingly admit that they nearly killed their own
child? I can easily dig out Summer’s old medical records from the time she underwent surgery at the
hospital, as well as your criminal history. And I can safely assume that everyone else who is suffering
because of having worked at the Crest family’s factories will be more than happy to be my witnesses in
court and testify against the evil, selfish piece of trash you are!
“Don’t even get me started on custodial rights! If you’re really Summer’s father, let me ask you this.
Why did you bring her to the chemical nt even knowing that it was polluted, and cause her to suffer
from an incurable disease? She trusted you, but you left her in such a desperate, painful situation!
ording to Article 261 of the Criminal Law, I can sue you for negligence and throw you back in jail
where you belong!”
For the first time in my life, I felt that I’d been right in choosing to be awyer.
I hadn’t considered my words properly nor gotten my thoughts in order before I went on that rant, but
I’d sessfully recited the correct article effortlessly and rendered Jared speechless.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he had nothing to tell me.
What had I been so worried about? Someone like him had long since lost the right to be a father to any
child; thinking that he could take Summer away from me was nothing more than a far-fetched
daydream.
Exchanging a meaningful look with John, we both got up from our seats.
I’d barely taken a few steps before stopping in my tracks, giving Jared a sidelong nce. “You can’t
always forget the past and start anew, Jared. You are so wrong to think that way; the truth is, you have
to pay the price for your grave mistakes. This is my only and final warning to you—Summer is Macy’s
daughter as well as mine. She has nothing to do with you, so don’t try and humiliate yourself any
further. If I see you anywhere near her, I’ll make sure to bring down hell upon you.”
