When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1322


    Emma didn’t feel like arguing, deliberately turning her gaze to me, as though she could avoid him this


    way. “Don’t be fooled. Although the Queens’ older generation weren’t that refined or cultured, they had


    an eye for investment. Whatever they invested in would surge. Stocks, private equity funds, corporate


    bonds… They even have investments abroad. After so many years, they didn’t suffer any losses, and


    their assets even doubled!”


    I didn’t really listen to the details, but I got the whole picture.


    Bryson wasn’t some kind of rich idiot who had more money than sense. On the contrary, he seemed to


    have the Midas touch when it came to business and investments. Thinking of this, I turned to look at


    Bryson. Indeed, he had the look of an honest man. Right then, an inexplicable emotion rose in my


    chest.


    He was an urate example of how the idiom “never judge a book by its cover” came about, and it


    was the first time I felt this way about the same person twice.


    A seemingly gentle person turned out to be a nouveau riche, and just when you thought he was naive


    and easily deceived, he proved you wrong by being a legend who had talent in making money. Who


    would’ve expected such a turn of events?


    While I was lost in thought, there was some noise at the door. It seemed like a prominent figure had


    arrived. ncing over, I saw Thora in a blue tube top dress. Appearing together with her was Ashton,


    who was d in a well-tailored ck tuxedo. Due to his height, he was particrly eye-catching among


    the crowd.


    As far as I knew, Bryson did not send an invitation to the Zieglers. It seemed like Thora had listened to


    Zander’s advice and made the right choice.


    Ziegler Corporation had been in close contact with the Trivettstely. Rumor had it that the matter


    regarding Pitcoin was final. Those who desperately wanted a piece of the pie were already slowly


    making their way toward Thora.

    Ashton stood expressionlessly beside her, his impatience showing. After whispering something to


    Thora, he strode toward the washroom.


    Emma’s eyes lit up all of a sudden and she raised her skirt slightly to walk somewhere to our left. “I saw


    a few friends. I’m going over to say hi. You guys go ahead without me.”


    “Hey, what friends? Hey…” John was clearly anxious, but he couldn’t put down his ego to go after her.


    Seeing that she didn’t respond after calling out to her twice, his face darkened and he looked like he


    wanted to punch someone at that moment. I could even hear him murmuring through gritted teeth,


    “She’s only been Mrs. Stovall for a few days, but look at her, she has be a social butterfly.”


    I craned my neck slightly to look in the direction Emma went and realized that her so-called friends


    were a group of handsome young chaps. At that moment, they were gathered around her,ughing and


    chatting at the same time.


    Emma was undoubtedly a beautiful woman. Seeing as she was unapanied, the men naturally


    assumed she was single. Hence, they were all attempting to ingratiate themselves with her.


    I cracked a wry smile. My dear brother, just admit that you’re jealous. If you’d just go over and stand


    beside her, who would dare to spare her a second nce?


    I shook my head helplessly and patted John on his shoulder. “Women need to be coaxed sometimes.”


    With that, I abandoned him and walked into the crowd, not once looking back to see the baffled


    expression I knew he was wearing.


    He probably never expected that he, one of the most well-known and handsome men in K City, would


    be abandoned by two women on the same day.


    …


    The party had just begun right then, so there was basically no one nearby the washroom. As I made


    my way over, the sound of my heels clicking on the ground was especially clear.


    I stopped right outside the men’s washroom, contemting how I should pretend to run into Ashton


    when a hand suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the washroom.


    The world spun for a moment and by the time I regained my bearings, I was already pressed against


    the door by Ashton. Our faces were barely inches apart. His warm breath tickled my cheeks, causing


    my heartbeat to turn erratic.


    “Mrs. Fuller, I’ve been waiting a long time for you.” Ashton’s voice was already deep to begin with.


    When he deliberately lowered his voice, it sounded even more sultry and sexy.


    How could I hold on to my anger in the face of such temptation?


    Sighing helplessly, I shied away from his heated gaze and muttered feebly, “Why would you wait for me


    when you have such a beautifulpanion, Mr. Fuller?”


    Ashton deliberately moved closer. I quickly turned my face away, so his breath ended up tickling my


    neck instead, causing me to subconsciously bite my bottom lip.
