When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1446


    I heard her footsteps as she waltzed up to me. “His injuries look rather serious, so I’m surprised that he


    recovered this quickly. It’s just as well, so my courtesy call doesn’te to waste.”


    With that, she received the fruit basket from her agent and pushed it in front of us. “Oh, the traffic


    ident was a prank taken too far on my part. I hope we can see an amicable resolution to this. Let’s


    take it that it never happened.”


    Her flighty tone told me that she was not at all apologetic.


    This was not an olive branch. It was obvious that all she wanted was for us to turn a blind eye to it.


    My face dimmed as I spoke coldly, “Who let you out?”


    “Of course, it was the protector of the people, the lovable boys in blue.” Reba shrugged wantonly


    before she loosened her grip and outright chucked the fruit basket aside. She then leaned in with


    brazenness. “So long as I draw breath, you can expect no peace!”

    “Enough!” My fists tightened until they trembled. “I’ll say this once again. I’m not Scarlett Stovall. Even if


    I was, you’ve no right to treat anyone this way!”


    “Hmph,” Reba sneered, then stood herself upright with arms akimbo. “You’re afraid, Scarlett, as you


    should be.”


    She paused before sheughed even more gleefully at this point. “Thest time was just the appetizer.


    Look forward to the full course!”


    With that, the woman turned and strutted off in the most pompous manner possible. “We’ll meet again,


    Scarlett. Very soon!”


    The insouciance of her tone sounded like she was doing ap of honor.


    I attuned myself to my own breathing with my eyes closed, hoping to calm my emotions. I would have


    confronted her had Marcus not held me by the wrist. “Calm down. She meant to provoke you. It’s better


    to not act impulsively because we don’t know who’s backing her.”


    …..


    Marcus’ car had to be scrapped. It was inconvenient for him to drive, seeing as to how he had just


    recovered from a serious ailment, so we could only hail a ride back.


    We were barely past the first intersection when our cab was swiftly surrounded on all sides by several


    ck sedans.


    Out stepped men in formal dressing. It was obvious that they had no good intentions. However, our


    driver was so unnerved as he articted himself properly, “Who… Don’t be stupid… This is aw-


    abiding society… I’ll call the police!”


    The suited men outright disregarded the driver’s threats. It took them no effort to drag him out of the


    driver’s seat and have him subdued. Never mind calling the police, the man was so cowed that he did


    not even dare to breathe too loudly.


    The one in charge walked to the backseat and located my position with pinpoint uracy. “Make it


    easier on yourself, Ms. Stovall.”


    Marcus and I exchanged looks. We were sure that neither of us had any clue as to what was going on.


    “I’ll cooperate, but first things first. Where are you taking me?”


    Marcus almost lost his life thest time and had not fully recovered. Now that trouble hade


    knocking again, I was determined not to implicate him this time.


    Upon hearing that, Marcus seemed to want to speak up, but I quietly pinched him in on the wrist,


    imploring him to act with restraint.


    I was quite certain that these people were not in cahoots with Reba. She would not be so banal as


    to get someone on my case immediately after showing off in front of me.


    It could not be Ashton either. He may be offish as heck, but I knew he was someone who always acted


    honorably. He would always either get someone to check in first whenever he needed to call on me or


    send Joseph to pick me up. He was not one to employ such a manner of invitation.


    That being said, apart from them, I could not think of anyone else who would do such a thing.


    I must regain my memories. I won’t be able to respond decisively if I were to keep getting caught on the


    back-foot like this.


    “You’ll find out when you get there,” the man replied. He dispensed with any more formalities and


    reached out to grab me with hisrge mitts.


    There was no way Marcus could sit idly by. Despite his weakened state, he struggled against the suited


    man to protect me.


    At this critical juncture, the shrill screaming of brakes tore into the fray and echoed all around us,


    trapping our previously menacing aggressors within.


    In the corner of my eye, I spotted Joseph’s familiar face.


    “Mr. Campbell!” I cried.


    Joseph spearheaded the charge of his men and neutralized the strapping of the suited men in mere


    minutes.


    He then approached, a little short of breath. “Come with me, Ms. Stovall.”
