When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1387
Unfortunately, Tiffany was toote. Rage was already spreading in Ashton’s bloodshot eyes like a
wildfire. No one could say for sure what he would do at this rate. “I’m asking you onest time. Did
Nics do it?” he roared.
His shout reverberated in the living room, his booming voice bouncing off the walls. Even I was shaken.
I could imagine the shock for Ashton. The Halls abandoned him when he was a kid, and now they even
targeted the people he loved the most. I could not help but wonder if they took Ashton as their son or
as their enemy.
Tiffany’s usually wellposed face turned estranged. Her neckline stiffened as she swallowed hard.
“Yes… But.. I didn’t do anything! I only overheard dad talking about it when he was in his study,” Tiffany
exined, her lips shaking in fear.

“Ah! You jer…”
Ashton flung his fist toward her before she could even say the word “jerk.”
But instead of dealing her a square blow, Ashton’s arm froze in the air for a good ten seconds before it
landed on the couch beside Tiffany. By the time everyone came back to their senses, there was a huge
dent in the couch because of the impact.
Tiffany was one of the few women on the Forbes list. Despite her shriek and her trembling body, she
still managed to feignposure, acting indifferent. “Dad is in charge of all decisions at home. I’m just
his puppet. I didn’t get much say of my own for the past twenty years either, so you can’t me me,
Ashton,” she said, tidying up her clothes in an attempt to conceal her nerves.
“As for the poison in Scarlett’s body, only Dad has the antidote. You should calm down and think things
through clearly. Since he’s willing to listen to me and ept you, don’t you think going back with your
children is the best option now? Try being a good son to him. Who knows, maybe he’ll soften his heart.
You’re a businessman yourself. You should know there are times when we need to lose the battle to
win the war.”
Although Ashton was on the verge of going berserk, Tiffany was still able to talk to him calmly,
showcasing just how strong her will was. But as strong as she may seem, her evasive gaze soon
landed on Bill, and the two took it upon themselves to leave immediately after.
Once they were gone, the whole living room fell into dead silence. Ashton’s head drooped low in
devastation, and he stood motionless for a long time.
As I expected, Nics had been watching his every move. Everything that happened was within his
calction.
Ashton’s every move from J City to K City, including his career, his family, and the child we lost, were all
under his supervision. Nics had the opportunity to save our first child, but he had not done so. Since
he saw Ashton’s child as a shameful stain to his family, there was no reason for him to save that child,
and neither would he ept me as Ashton’s wife.
However, Nics had no choice but to back down now. He realized that Ashton and the Stovall family
were not people he could mess with anymore. If he wanted the children, he had no other option but to
ept me and Ashton, no matter how much the Hall family despised us.
To put it inly, both of us were necessary evil he had to bear because he wanted the children.
“There’s nothing we can do now. Both of you only have one option. That’s to go back to the Hall family
and try to get the cure for Letty. As for our next step, we will y by ear.” John’s apathetic voice cut
through the silence, but I could still sense a hint of anger in his tone.
The surrounding air suddenly turned solemn.
Everyone had heard what Tiffany said clearly—I was poisoned because of Ashton. Although it was not
his fault per se, everyone was still exasperated.
Ashton did not reply to John. Seeing him seemingly unmoved, thetter’s fists tightened as he got
ready to speak again.
“Give us some time to discuss this,” I intervened before John could open his mouth to say another
word.
John might not know what Ashton was thinking, but I knew. His parents had made his life a living hell
for the past twenty-plus years. It would not be easy to wee his parents with open arms overnight.
